FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 18-60—Filed April 10, 2018, 5:08 p.m., effective April 28, 2018]
Effective Date of Rule: April 28, 2018.
Purpose: Amends freshwater recreational rules for Frank's Pond in Chelan County.
Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-312-05000C; and amending WAC 220-312-050.
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 needed to open Frank's Pond in Chelan County to juvenile anglers only. Opening the pond for juvenile anglers will provide an exclusive fishing opportunity. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
