PROPOSED RULES
DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Filed July 20, 2022, 8:42 a.m.]
Original Notice.
Proposal is exempt under RCW 34.05.310(4) or 34.05.330(1).
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: The Washington department of fish and wildlife (WDFW) received a rule-making petition in January 2022 asking WDFW to amend RCW 220-312-050 by opening fishing in a section of the Chelan River upstream from the Chelan PUD safety barrier to the lake. In February 2022, the fish and wildlife commission voted on the petition and directed WDFW to commence rule making. This CR-102 carries out the commission's direction. The proposed change opens a previously closed section of Chelan River by allowing catch-and-release fishing only, using only barbless hooks with no bait.
Hearing Location(s): On September 22-24, 2022, at 8:00 a.m., at Ocean Shores Convention Center, Ocean Shores, Washington. This meeting of the fish and wildlife commission will take place in person and by webinar. See https://wdfw.wa.gov/about/commission or contact the commission office at 360-902-2267 or commission@dfw.wa.gov for instructions on how to join the meeting.
Date of Intended Adoption: No sooner than October 27, 2022.
Submit Written Comments to: Kelly Henderson, email PetitionChelanRiver@PublicInput.com, phone 855-925-2801, project code 7813, website https://publicinput.com/PetitionChelanRiver, by September 24, 2022.
Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Title VI/ADA Compliance Coordinator, phone 360-902-2349, TTY 711, phone 360-902-2207, email Title6@dfw.wa.gov, https://wdfw.wa.gov/accessibility/requests-accommodation, by September 24, 2022.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The upper reach of the Chelan River from the Chelan PUD powerhouse up to the Lake Chelan Dam (3.6-miles) is inaccessible by anadromous salmon and steelhead due to a 0.4-mile steep gorge area with several waterfalls (5-20 feet). This reach is currently closed to fishing under permanent WAC. Open the currently closed portion of the Chelan River to recreational fishing. No anticipated effects are expected. This proposal would change the existing closed fishing rule and open it up to recreational fishing.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The WDFW agrees with the petitioner in that the currently closed portion of the upper Chelan River should be open to recreational fishing. The specific fishing season and rules/restrictions will be developed and recommended (by WDFW) following a public comment period.
In 2015, fishing was closed in the upper Chelan River to facilitate a multi-year evaluation of resident game fish restoration efforts. Closing recreational fishing was deemed necessary and appropriate to eliminate the effect of angler harvest and/or catch-and-release mortality on resident game fish. Results from the evaluation show that populations of resident gamefish in the upper Chelan River are sufficiently abundant to support recreational fishing.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.055, and 77.12.047.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, 77.04.055, 77.12.045, and 77.12.047.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: [No information provided by agency], governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Chad Jackson, 1550 Alder Street, Ephrata, WA 98823, 509-754-4624 ext. 250; Implementation: Craig Burley, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA 98501, 360-902-2784; and Enforcement: Chief Steve Bear, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA 98501, 360-902-2373.
A school district fiscal impact statement is not required under RCW 28A.305.135.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. This rule proposal does not require a cost-benefit analysis per RCW 34.05.328 (5)(a)(i).
This rule proposal, or portions of the proposal, is exempt from requirements of the Regulatory Fairness Act because the proposal:
Is exempt under RCW 19.85.025(4). This chapter does not apply to the adoption of a rule if an agency is able to demonstrate that the proposed rule does not affect small businesses.
Explanation of exemptions: The department is exempt from the requirements of chapter 19.85 because the proposed recreational fishing rules do not regulate small businesses; rather, the department's proposed fishing rules open fishing seasons, and provide fishing opportunity, that would otherwise be closed. In doing so, the proposed rules regulate individuals who undertake recreational fishing activities. The proposed statewide recreational rules simply govern the time, place and manner for individuals who want to enjoy the recreational fishing opportunities provided. While recreational fisheries contribute to statewide or local economies, and while those economic effects are part of the department's consideration in opening fisheries, the economic effect of different possible recreational fishery packages does not constitute the direct imposition of any regulatory compliance costs on small businesses that supply recreational fishers, or that benefit from the state's decision to open such fisheries.
