FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 19-43—Filed March 15, 2019, 2:47 p.m., effective April 20, 2019, 8:00 a.m.]
Effective Date of Rule: April 20, 2019, 8:00 a.m.
Purpose: Opens Failor Lake in Grays Harbor County for a one day kids-only fishing derby.
Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-312-02000L; and amending WAC 220-312-020.
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: An emergency rule is needed to open Failor Lake which will allow boys and girls fourteen and younger to participate in a fishing derby hosted by the Grays Harbor Poggie Club. There [is] insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
