Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: Changes from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:
• The name of Debay's Slough Road was changed to Debay's Isle Road to match the actual road name.
• The words "white corner marker" was deleted because the point of reference was no longer needed.
• The distance traveled east along the south bank of the Skagit River was changed from 2200 feet to 3750 feet in order to make the reserve boundary close at the northeast corner.
• The distance traveled south along the fence line was changed from 150 feet to 855 feet in order to reflect the incorporation of additional acreage within the reserve.
• The words "southeast 1050 feet to fence line, then" was removed since they no longer describe the boundary which places additional acreage in the reserve.
• The distance traveled east along the fence line was changed from 1090 feet to 435 feet to correctly align the boundary with the point of origin.
