This page contains links to Geographic Response Plan (GRP) interim updates up for public comment during August 2024. Interim updates are minor updates made to published GRPs between comprehensive updates, in order to capture information or improvements from deployments, newly finished restoration sites, changes in the environment, or newly identified strategy sites or resources at risk. Six new strategies have been proposed for inclusion to published GRPs in Washington State. The final draft of the strategies linked below will be incorporated into each plan on oilspills101.wa.gov. For more information about the interim update process, please see our recent blog post here, or contact GRPs@ecy.wa.gov.

For reference, we the links below include the currently published plans, the individual 2-pagers of the proposed strategies, and the priority tables. We are asking for any comments related to the strategies (2-Pagers) or how the strategies should be prioritized in each plan (within the priority tables).
