WSR 15-08-094 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 15-50—Filed March 31, 2015, 4:22 p.m., effective April 11, 2015] Effective Date of Rule: April 11, 2015.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for Tanwax Lake.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-19000R; and amending WAC 220-310-190.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, and 77.12.047.
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: Tanwax Lake is being opened for one day of fishing to provide angling opportunity for Hero on the Waters NW Chapter fishing event. Preregistered veterans only will be permitted to fish throughout the lake. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
