Original Notice.

     Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 02-11-145.

     Title of Rule: Personal use rules.

     Purpose: Amend sport rules.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047.

     Statute Being Implemented: RCW 77.12.047.

     Summary: Allow night crawfish fishing; steelhead release in upper Kalama River and tributaries; close Lewis River power canal.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: Provide crawfish recreational opportunity, steelhead research and resource protection.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Evan Jacoby, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, 902-2030; Implementation: Lew Atkins, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, 902-2651; and Enforcement: Bruce Bjork, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, 902-2373.

     Name of Proponent: Department of Fish and Wildlife, governmental.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: Southwest Washington crawfish fishers traditionally fish at night and anti-theft rules preventing lifting shellfish pots at night are inapplicable. Allowing crawfish pots to be tended at night increases fishing opportunity. The upper Kalama River hatchery steelhead are being used as rebuilding stock, and the fishery is closed to protect the brood stock. There has been a dam failure on the Lewis River powerhouse reducing the water flow, leaving fish stranded in pools and susceptible to snagging.

     Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: Allow crawfish pot pulling, close portions of Kalama and Lewis rivers.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. These rules affect sport fishing, not small businesses.

     RCW 34.05.328 does not apply to this rule adoption. Not hydraulics rules.

     Hearing Location: Natural Resources Building, Director's Conference Room, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, on September 5, 2002, at 9:00 a.m.

     Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Nancy Burkhart by August 30, 2002, TDD (360) 902-2207 or (360) 902-2267.

     Submit Written Comments to: Evan Jacoby, Rules Coordinator, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091, fax (360) 902-2155, by August 30, 2002.

     Date of Intended Adoption: September 5, 2002.
