WSR 14-21-095 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 14-301—Filed October 14, 2014, 6:00 p.m., effective October 15, 2014] Effective Date of Rule: October 15, 2014.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-19000F.
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: Egg-take goals have been met at the Nisqually River Hatchery allowing the river to reopen for the retention of chinook salmon while also providing angling opportunity. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
