     Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

     "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1.  A new section is added to chapter 43.21A RCW to read as follows:

     The department shall process permit applications for new domestic uses from the Columbia river or Snake river, notwithstanding the withdrawals from appropriation established in chapters 173‑563 and 173‑564 WAC, if applicable water system planning requirements have been fulfilled, cost‑effective water conservation has been implemented, and no alternative source is available to satisfy the need for domestic water supply."

     Correct the title accordingly.

EFFECT: In lieu of waiving the moratorium on a portion of the Columbia River for applications filed before September 1993 and for a certain amount of water, the amendment instructs the Department of Ecology to process permit applications for new domestic uses of water from the Columbia River or Snake River under certain circumstances.
