WSR 15-19-008 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 15-310—Filed September 2, 2015, 2:51 p.m., effective September 2, 2015, 2:51 p.m.]
Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-18500C.
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: With the recent weather change, river flows and temperature are similar to average fall conditions on the East Fork Lewis and Washougal rivers. These conditions are not expected to change considerably for the rest of the season. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
