Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The amendment is intended to establish the reserve boundary as it was originally intended to be established in 1997.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The current reserve boundary proposal would exclude a private parcel from being incorporated into the reserve. The modified proposal will incorporate that private land into reserve status, as was intended in 1997.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047, 77.12.020, 77.12.570, 77.12.210, 77.12.040, 77.12.010.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 77.12.047, 77.12.020, 77.12.570, 77.12.210, 77.12.040, 77.12.010.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Agency Comments or Recommendations, if any, as to Statutory Language, Implementation, Enforcement, and Fiscal Matters: The original CR-102 filing and rule proposal was based on the exclusion of a land parcel that the Washington department of fish and wildlife thought would be available for sale to the state and therefore would not need to be included in the reserve boundaries. Since this initial filing, the private landowner entered into a sales agreement with another private individual, and the parcel is no longer available for state purchase. Therefore, it is recommended that the parcel be included within the reserve boundaries in order to keep the reserve intact as was initially intended in 1997.
Name of Proponent: Washington department of fish and wildlife, governmental.

No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. This proposal does not affect small business or commercial operators.
