[Order 14-187Filed July 29, 2014, 2:02 p.m., effective September 1, 2014]
Effective Date of Rule: September 1, 2014.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-19500N.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, and 77.12.047.
Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: The spring chinook salmon run has ended in this portion of the Wenatchee River. Repealing the emergency rule will revert to permanent rules. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
