PERMANENT RULES

ENERGY FACILITY SITE

EVALUATION COUNCIL

[ Filed December 10, 2008, 1:09 p.m. , effective January 10, 2009 ]


     Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.

     Purpose: WAC 463-78-005(1) is amended so the effective date of adoption by reference of chapter 173-400 WAC is November 1, 2008, rather than March 1, 2005. The effect is that energy facility site evaluation council (EFSEC) will have the same rules as ecology allowing the United States Environmental Protection Agency to grant EFSEC full prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) delegation resulting in EFSEC ability to issue PSD permits without cosignature by United States Environmental Protection Agency.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 463-78-005(1).

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 80.50 RCW.

     Other Authority: RCW 80.50.040.
