Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The purpose of the proposed rule is to repeal WAC 246-272C-0150 because it is obsolete. This rule was adopted as part of a broader revision of chapter 246-272C WAC in 2009. It was intended to help users understand when specific products would no longer meet the newly revised requirements of the chapter and would be phased out of use. WAC 246-272C-0150 set a timeline for transition from an "approved" tank list, to a "registered" tank list. The transition was complete in 2012 so the rule is no longer needed.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: Since this transition was completed in 2012, the department is repealing this obsolete rule. Retaining obsolete sections of rule can make the overall chapter of rules confusing. Therefore, repealing the section will clarify the septic tank rule requirements of chapter 246-272C WAC.
