WSR 16-08-046 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 16-59—Filed March 30, 2016, 2:42 p.m., effective April 11, 2016] Effective Date of Rule: April 11, 2016.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-19500Y; and amending WAC 220-310-195.
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: For safety of the general public and equipment operators an emergency rule is needed to close Rainbow Lake for five days as large equipment will be utilized around Rainbow Lake to dig test pits and take core samples for planned construction of the lake as part of the W. T. Wooten Floodplain Management Plan. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
