WSR 10-19-147

PROPOSED RULES

NOXIOUS WEED

CONTROL BOARD

[ Filed September 22, 2010, 11:01 a.m. ]

     Original Notice.

     Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 10-14-105.

     Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Chapter 16-750 WAC, State noxious weed list and schedule of monetary penalties, the board is proposing to amend the state noxious weed list.

     Hearing Location(s): Public Works - Maintenance and Operations, 1216 South 18th Street, Yakima, WA 98901, on November 2, 2010, at 12:00 - 2:00.

     Date of Intended Adoption: November 3, 2010.

     Submit Written Comments to: Alison Halpern, P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, WA 98504-2560, e-mail ahalpern@agr.wa.gov, fax (360) 902-2053, by November 1, 2010.

     Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Cindy Orr by October 25, 2010, TTY (800) 902-6388 or (360) 902-2053.

     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The Washington state noxious weed list provides the basis for noxious weed control efforts for county and district weed control boards and other entities. It also provides guidelines for the state noxious weed control board. This proposal amends chapter 16-750 WAC by:


Changing yellow archangel, Lamiastrum galeobdolon, from Class C to Class B.
Changing hairy willow-herb, Epilobium hirsutum, from Class C to Class B.
Changing the designation of hoary alyssum, Berteroa incana, on the Class B list.
Changing the designation of houndstongue, Cynoglossum officinale, on the Class B list.
Changing the designation of Eurasian watermilfoil, Myriophyllum spicatum, on the Class B list.
Adding English holly, Ilex aquifolium, (except where commercially grown) to the Class C list.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: Yellow archangel and hairy willow-herb have been proposed to be changed from Class C to Class B noxious weeds, now that the distribution and potential spread of both species are better understood. Both species would be designated for control where they are not widespread or where county weed boards want to mandate control. County noxious weed control boards have proposed that the designation of three Class B noxious weeds be amended to improve effectiveness of their control from a statewide management perspective. English holly has been proposed as a Class C due to concern that it is becoming invasive in forested areas of western Washington.

     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: Alison Halpern, 1111 Washington Street S.E., Olympia, WA, (360) 902-2053.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. RCW 19.85.030 (1)(a) requires that an agency prepare a small business economic impact statement for proposed rules that impose more than a minor cost on businesses in an industry. An analysis of the direct economic effects of the proposed six rule amendments indicates that costs to small businesses would be negligible or none at all. To summarize the analysis, none of the proposals seek to prohibit sales of these species (some of which are already quarantined), and few if any small businesses will be impacted from the three changes in Class B designations. The state weed board does not require control of Class C noxious weeds, and English holly that is commercially grown is exempt from any control that might be required by county weed boards. A copy of the analysis can be obtained by contacting Cindy Orr, P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, WA 98504-2560, phone (360) 725-5764, fax (360) 902-2094, e-mail corr@agr.wa.gov.

     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.
