WSR 18-07-071 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 18-42—Filed March 16, 2018, 2:03 p.m., effective April 1, 2018] Effective Date of Rule: April 1, 2018. Purpose: Amends recreational fishing rules for Lincoln Park Pond. Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-312-02000W; and amending WAC 220-312-020. 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 close Lincoln Park Pond prior to the annual kid's fishing derby which is scheduled for Saturday, April 7, 2017 [2018]. Closing the pond for the week preceding the derby will allow cleaning and preparation of the area around the pond, while protecting the trout to be planted as they acclimate during the week prior to the derby which will provide angling opportunity. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules. Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
