PROPOSED RULES

NOXIOUS WEED

CONTROL BOARD

[ Filed September 29, 2006, 10:03 a.m. ]

     Original Notice.

     Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 06-14-016.

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

     Hearing Location(s): Washington Cattlemen's Association, 1301 Dolar Way Road, Ellensburg, WA, on November 15, 2006, at 1:30 p.m.

     Date of Intended Adoption: December 4, 2006.

     Submit Written Comments to: Steve McGonigal, P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, WA 98504, e-mail smcgonigal@agr.wa.gov, fax (360) 902-2053, by November 8, 2006.

     Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Steve McGonigal, (360) 902-2053, by November 8, 2006.

     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 and coordinate control of noxious weed species statewide, concentrating on prevention and early detection, while still allowing for local program flexibility.

     This proposal amends chapter 16-750 WAC by: (1) Adding two weed species to the Class B weed list; (2) adding one weed species to the Class C weed list; (3) changing the designated control areas for two Class B weeds; (4) updating the scientific name of one Class B weed; and (5) correcting the spelling of the scientific name of one Class C weed.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: Common fennel, spurge laurel and yellow archangel 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 two existing Class B noxious weeds should be amended, and those changes are proposed. The scientific community has accepted a new scientific name for spotted knapweed, and a change to that new name is proposed. The scientific name of yellow flag iris is misspelled in the WAC, and a correction is 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 business would be negligible. Adding plants to the Class C list does not mandate control, forbid sale, nor make other regulatory changes. Inquiries to the nursery industry have indicated that spurge laurel is not present in the nursery industry. Inquiries to the seed industry have indicated that there is no commercial fennel seed production in the state. For the Class B weeds for which changes to designated control areas are proposed, the new control areas proposed are areas where the plants are 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.
