WSR 15-22-064 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 15-413—Filed October 31, 2015, 6:23 p.m., effective October 31, 2015, 6:23 p.m.] Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for Cases Pond.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-18000F and 220-310-18000H; and amending WAC 220-310-180.
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: An emergency rule is needed as the department of fish and wildlife is planting trout in Cases Pond this fall and opening to all anglers to provide additional family fishing opportunities.
