(1) The department of ecology shall deliver to the governor and the legislature a formal report that outlines all available peer reviewed science showing a correlation between the implementation of the limitations on the use of dishwashing detergent that contains phosphorus contained in chapter 70.95L and improvements in waterbody phosphorus levels.
(2) The report required under this section may be limited, at the discretion of the department of ecology, to Spokane and Whatcom counties.
(3) The report required under this section must be delivered no later than January 1, 2013.
