The second rulemaking is intended to update a variety of spill regulations. Among the changes would be to increase from $50 to $100 the per gallon ceiling amount that the state could assess for natural resource damages and an expansion in the definition of “oil” to include all oils, rather than being limited to petroleum-based oils. Comments on the proposals must be submitted by November 5.
