The Following Sections are Proposed for Expedited Repeal: WAC 332-30-118 Tidelands, shoreland and beds of navigable water.

Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances.

Any person who objects to the repeal of the rule must file a written objection to the repeal within thirty days after publication of this preproposal statement of inquiry.

Address Your Objection to: Dave Dietzman, Rules Coordinator, Department of Natural Resources, P.O. Box 47015, Olympia, WA 98504-7015, dave.dietzman@wadnr.gov, (360) 902-1633.

Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: This rule was written in 1980 to guide the overall management of state-owned aquatic lands. However, in 1984, the legislature, through the Aquatic Lands Act, set comprehensive new management guidelines for these lands. Extensive new rules were written to implement the act, but this rule was never updated nor repealed. The statements in this rule are now either redundant to the statute, vague and noncommital on DNR, or less specific than more recently passed rules. This rule is unnecessary and provides no useful guidance to DNR or the public beyond that found in other statutes and rules.
