WSR 16-12-007 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 16-112—Filed May 19, 2016, 8:54 a.m., effective May 21, 2016] Effective Date of Rule: May 21, 2016.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: 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 to open South Pond at the Bogachiel Hatchery because recent restrictions to the public access to [at] Wentworth Lake, hatchery trout normally planted into Wentworth Lake are being planted in the South Pond which will provide additional angling opportunity. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
