EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Effective Date of Rule: April 30, 2010, 12:01 a.m.
Purpose: Amend personal use fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-61900B; and amending WAC 232-28-619.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047 and 77.04.020.
Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: This rule change is necessary to ensure a safe and successful event. The fish will be planted one day prior to the event to better acclimate them before the event. Fish will be placed into a netted area along the shoreline of the pond. On the day of the event, participants will be allowed to fish within these netted areas. Keeping the pond closed until May 2, 2010, is to ensure the safety of the public as well as the event participants while the event is shutting down and equipment and nets are being removed. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
