EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Effective Date of Rule: April 16, 2009, 12:01 a.m.
Purpose: Amend personal use fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-61900F; and amending WAC 232-28-619.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 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 closure of Long's Pond is necessary to allow staff to set nets and stock fish for the April 18, 2009, fishing activities and ensure a successful family fish-in event. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
