Purpose: Personal use rules.

Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-61900S; and amending WAC 232-28-619.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.040.

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: These lakes are being considered for rehabilitation in September. A public meeting was held on July 1, 1998, in Moses Lake concerning these rehabilitations. Attendees indicated support for the rehabilitations of these lakes and no opposition was noted. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
