EMERGENCY RULES
DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 18-36—Filed March 14, 2018, 2:27 p.m., effective April 12, 2018]
Effective Date of Rule: April 12, 2018.
Purpose: Amends recreational fishing rules for Klineline Pond kids fishing event.
Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-312-03000M; and amending WAC 220-312-030.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, 77.12.045, 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: This emergency rule is necessary to ensure a safe and successful event. The fish will be planted one day prior to the event to better acclimate them before the event. Fish will be placed into netted areas along the shoreline of the pond. On the days of the event, preregistered kids will be allowed to fish within these netted areas. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
