PROPOSED RULES

NOXIOUS WEED

CONTROL BOARD

[ Filed September 28, 2004, 3:09 p.m. ]

     Original Notice.

     Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 04-13-015.

     Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Chapter 16-750 WAC, State noxious weed list and schedule of monetary penalties.

     Hearing Location(s): Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center, 990 S.W. Rock Creek Drive, Stevenson, WA 98648, on November 16, 2004, at 1:30 p.m.

     Date of Intended Adoption: November 16, 2004.

     Submit Written Comments to: Steve McGonigal, P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, WA 98504, e-mail SmcGonigal@agr.wa.gov, fax (360) 902-2094, by November 9, 2004.

     Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Virginia Walsh by October 29, 2004, TTY (360) 902-1996 or (360) 902-1976.

     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The state noxious weed list provides the basis for noxious weed control efforts by county noxious weed control boards, weed districts, the state weed board and the Washington State Department of Agriculture, under the auspices of chapter 17.10 RCW. The effect of the state noxious weed list is to prioritize control of noxious weed species statewide, concentrating on prevention and early detection, while still allowing for local program flexibility.

     The proposal would add one species to the Class A weed list, add two species to the Class C weed list and move one species from the Class C list to the Class B list. The proposal would change the designated control areas for five Class B weeds. Two of the Class B weeds would have their designated control areas decreased, and three would have their designated control areas increased. For saltcedar, a Class B weed, the proposal would remove an exemption for plants "intentionally established prior to 2004" in areas where saltcedar is designated for control.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: Grass-leaved arrowhead, butterfly bush and curly-leaf pondweed are present in the state and have been found to be highly destructive, competitive or difficult to control, so their addition to the noxious weed list is proposed. Distribution data indicated that the control designation areas for some existing noxious weeds should be amended, and those changes are proposed.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 17.10 RCW.

     Statute Being Implemented: Chapter 17.10 RCW.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     Name of Proponent: Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board, governmental.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting, Implementation and Enforcement: Steve McGonigal, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA 98504-2560, (360) 902-2053.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. Net economic impact of the proposed changes on small businesses would be negligible. Adding plants to the Class C list does not mandate control, forbid sale, nor make other regulatory changes. The one plant being proposed for the Class A list is not involved in trade, and is of extremely limited distribution. Plants proposed for the B list are proposed for control only in areas where they are found to be of limited distribution.

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board is not one of the agencies listed in this section.
