EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Effective Date of Rule: November 11, 2010.
Purpose: Amend personal use fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-61900M; 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: Recent heavy rains have contributed to higher river flows and rapidly distributing salmon, helping to promote and maintain an orderly fishery and no longer requiring a night fishery closure on the Tilton River. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
