groundwater, and human health are protected. It is also in the best interest of
individual heating oil tank owners to protect them from the unexpected
liability and potential financial hardship associated with an accidental
release from a heating oil tank .

is directed by chapter 70A.330 RCW to establish the heating oil pollution
liability insurance program to assist owners and operators of heating oil
tanks.
