EMERGENCY RULES
DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 18-254—Filed September 20, 2018, 1:39 p.m., effective September 20, 2018, 1:39 p.m.]
Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for Deep River.
Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-312-03000D.
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 because the risk of impacts to the fall Chinook URB stock in select areas are negligible (near zero) in late September, and therefore select areas are being reopened to provide additional fishing opportunity. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
