EXPEDITED REPEAL
NATURAL RESOURCES
The Following Sections are Proposed for Expedited Repeal: WAC 332-30-154 Marine aquatic plant removal.
Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances.
Any person who objects to the repeal of the rule must file a written objection to the repeal within thirty days after publication of this preproposal statement of inquiry.
Address Your Objection to: Dave Dietzman, Rules Coordinator, Department of Natural Resources, P.O. Box 47015, Olympia, WA 98504-7015, dave.dietzman@wadnr.gov, (360) 902-1633.
Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: This rule was written in 1980 to set limits on the commercial and personal harvest of various kinds of marine aquatic plants (seaweed). However, RCW 79.01.805, passed in 1993, prohibited all commercial harvest of marine aquatic plants and limited personal harvest to levels below those allowed by this rule. The rule directly contradicts the statute.
