WSR 16-17-006 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 16-199—Filed August 4, 2016, 11:24 a.m., effective August 4, 2016, 11:24 a.m.] Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for Frank's Pond.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-19500I; and amending WAC 220-310-195.
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: Frank's Pond in Chelan County is a newly constructed pond and this emergency rule will continue to provide juvenile anglers an exclusive fishing opportunity. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
