PERMANENT RULES
DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 19-01—Filed January 2, 2019, 3:51 p.m., effective February 2, 2019]
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: These changes are necessary to correct omitted rules that have previously been adopted by the commission or are required by the Endangered Species Act (ESA) listings. It also serves to clarify language to reflect intention of simplification:
WAC 220-310-080, clarify commission adopted language to reflect intention of opening all rivers, streams, and beaver ponds to a standard season of Saturday before Memorial Day through October 31 unless provided for in WAC 220-312-010 through 220-312-060.
WAC 220-312-020, corrects the omission of the closure of all tributaries to the Elwha River (Clallam County) during the rule simplification process. This rule had previously been adopted by the commission.
WAC 220-312-050, corrects the omission of the closure to all steelhead fishing in the lower portion of the Chelan River (Chelan County). This is consistent with the current ESA listing for upper Columbia River steelhead.
WAC 220-312-050, corrects and clarifies river sections of Crab Creek (Adams/Grant/Lincoln counties) that was omitted when a proposed rule was not adopted by the commission and should have reverted back to previous sections.
WAC 220-312-060, corrects the omission of the closure to all steelhead fishing in two sections of the Columbia River from the Old Hanford townsite wooden power lines towers to Vernita Bridge and from Vernita Bridge to Priest Rapids Dam. This is consistent with the current ESA listing for upper Columbia River steelhead.
