WSR 15-09-008 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 14-51—Filed April 3, 2015, 9:29 a.m., effective April 9, 2015] Effective Date of Rule: April 9, 2015.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for Klineline Pond.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-18500S; and amending WAC 220-310-185.
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: This emergency rule is necessary to ensure a safe and successful fishing event for juvenile anglers. Fish will be planted in Klineline Pond one day prior to the Klineline Kids Fishing Event to better acclimate them before the event. Fish will be placed into netted areas along the shoreline of the pond. On the days of the fishing event, preregistered kids will be allowed to fish within these netted areas. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
