WITHDRAWAL OF'> # end of String
The Department of Ecology will be withdrawing a CR-101, WSR 99-21-100, chapter 173-537 WAC, Water resources management program for the Yakima River basin, Water Resource Inventory Areas 37, 38, and 39.
The department is withdrawing this because adoption of the moratorium is no longer timely in the context of the ground water study now underway and is not required to fulfill the substance of the agreement among the Yakama Nation, United States Bureau of Reclamation, and ecology as was contemplated at the time of signing the MOA in 1999. Ecology has discussed this issue with both the Yakama Nation Council and with the area and regional managers in the Bureau of Reclamation.
