59 - OIL SPILL PREVENTION PROGRAM

This program collects two fees on all crude oil and petroleum products received in California via marine pipelines and terminals. The prevention and administration fees provide funding to implement oil spill prevention programs and to reimburse the member agencies of the State Inter-agency Oil Spill Committee for costs arising from the implementation of this program. Funding is also provided to implement, install, and maintain emergency programs, equipment, and facilities to respond to, contain, and clean up oil spills.
