Chapter 81.88.060 RCW & 81.88.065 RCW “The commission shall develop and administer a comprehensive program of pipeline safety in accordance with this chapter.”

Chapter 81.88.090 RCW “The commission shall maintain federal certification for the state’s pipeline safety program. The commission, at a minimum shall do the following: (1) Inspect hazardous liquid pipelines and gas pipelines periodically as specified in the inspection program;”

Chapter 81.88.100 RCW “The commission may inspect any record, map or written procedure required by federal law to be kept by a pipeline company concerning releases, and design, construction, testing or operation and maintenance of pipelines.”
