WSR 15-09-060 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 15-75—Filed April 14, 2015, 10:32 a.m., effective April 22, 2015, 12:01 a.m.] Effective Date of Rule: April 22, 2015, 12:01 a.m.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-19500N; and amending WAC 220-310-195.
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 assure a safe and successful youth fishing event in Sarg Hubbard Park Pond. Five thousand trout will be planted three days prior to the event to acclimate the fish and assure they bite well. On April 25, 2015, preregistered kids will be allowed to fish during the event. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
