[Order 15-175—Filed June 10, 2015, 4:28 p.m., effective June 12, 2015]
Effective Date of Rule: June 12, 2015.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-19000Y; 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: Closing Long's Pond is necessary to ensure a safe and successful kids fish-in event; the Shelton school district special services DD program as hosted by the Lacey Community Center, Lacey, Washington. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
