AN
ACT Relating to regulation of outflow of lakes; and amending RCW 90.24.010.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec.
1. RCW
90.24.010 and 1985 c 398 s 28 are each amended to read as follows:
Ten
or more owners of real property abutting on a ((meandered)) lake may
petition the superior court of the county in which the lake is situated, for an
order to provide for the regulation of the outflow of the lake in order to
maintain a certain water level therein. If there are fewer than ten owners,
a majority of the owners abutting on a lake may petition the superior court for
such an order. The court, after notice to the department of fish and
wildlife and a hearing, is authorized to make an order fixing the water
level thereof and directing the department of ecology to regulate the outflow
therefrom in accordance with the purposes described in the petition. This
section shall not apply to any ((meandered)) lake or reservoir used for
the storage of water for irrigation or other beneficial purposes, or to lakes
navigable from the sea.
