WSR 16-22-036 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 16-298—Filed October 26, 2016, 2:37 p.m., effective November 1, 2016] Effective Date of Rule: November 1, 2016.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for Cases Pond.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-18000C; and amending WAC 220-310-180.
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: An emergency rule is needed as the department of fish and wildlife is planting trout in Cases Pond this fall and opening to all anglers to provide additional family fishing opportunities. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
