EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Date of Adoption: October 5, 2001.
Purpose: Amend hunting rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-27300B; and amending WAC 232-28-270 [232-28-273].
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: Wildfires in the Lake Chelan area have restricted access to and destroyed 70% of the winter range in Goat Unit 2-1. Extending the season will increase the possibility that both available animals are actually taken, and will reduce pressure on the remaining winter range. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
