WSR 17-11-042 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 17-89—Filed May 11, 2017, 2:36 p.m., effective June 9, 2017, 6:00 p.m.] Effective Date of Rule: June 9, 2017, 6:00 p.m.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for Lake Sylvia.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-312-02000F; and amending WAC 220-312-020.
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: This rule is needed to ensure a safe and successful kids-only fishing event. The fish will be planted the evening prior to the event to better acclimate them before the event. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
