WSR 17-23-012 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 17-305—Filed November 3, 2017, 9:57 a.m., effective November 4, 2017] Effective Date of Rule: November 4, 2017. Purpose: Reopens the lower Samish River to recreational fishing. Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-312-04000Y. 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: This emergency rule is needed to reopen the lower portion of the Samish River. This area was closed to all fishing with filing WSR 17-21-020 to facilitate achieving broodstock collection needs for fall Chinook at the Samish Hatchery. These broodstock needs have now been achieve[d]. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
