WSR 17-08-048 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 17-65—Filed March 30, 2017, 4:38 p.m., effective April 15, 2017, 6:20 a.m.] Effective Date of Rule: April 15, 2017, 6:20 a.m.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for Langlois Lake.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-312-04000C; and amending WAC 220-312-040.
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: Langlois Lake is being opened for one day of fishing to provide angling opportunity for Project Healing Waters which is dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fishing. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
