PROPOSED RULES

NOXIOUS WEED

CONTROL BOARD

[ Filed October 3, 2007, 11:00 a.m. ]

     Original Notice.

     Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 07-13-030.

     Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Chapter 16-750 WAC, State noxious weed list and schedule of monetary penalties. The board is proposing to amend the state noxious weed list.

     Hearing Location(s): Washington Cattlemen's Association, 1301 North Dolarway Road, Ellensburg, WA, on November 14, 2007, at 1:30 p.m.

     Date of Intended Adoption: November 20, 2007.

     Submit Written Comments to: Cindy Orr, P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, WA 98504, e-mail corr@agr.wa.gov, fax (360) 902-2094, by November 7, 2007.

     Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Cindy Orr by November 7, 2007, TTY (360) 725-5764.

     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The state noxious weed list provides the basis for noxious weed control efforts for county weed control boards, weed districts, and other entities.

     This proposal amends chapter 16-750 WAC by:

     (1) Adding three new weed species to the A list (ricefield bulrush, European hawkweed, and variable-leaf milfoil) and one new weed species to the C list (common hawkweed);

     (2) Deleting one weed species from rule (hedgeparsley);

     (3) Changing two weed species from the B list to the A list (common cordgrass and smooth cordgrass);

     (4) Changing three weed species from the C list to the B list (butterfly bush, poison-hemlock, and common reed (nonnative genotypes));

     (5) Changing two weed species from the A list to the B list (buffalobur and lawnweed); and

     (6) Changing the designation of five class B weeds (wild chervil, sulfur cinquefoil, orange hawkweed, policeman's helmet, and rush skeletonweed).

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: Noxious weeds are nonnative, invasive species that are difficult to control and are destructive to Washington's agriculture and natural resources. Once established, noxious weeds can colonize our croplands, rangelands, forests, parks, wetlands, estuaries, and waterways, causing economic and ecological damage. RCW 17.10.080 requires the Washington state noxious weed control board to adopt a state noxious weed list each year. The purpose of the state weed list is to limit economic loss and adverse effects to Washington's agricultural, natural, and human resources due to the presence and spread of noxious weeds in the state.

     Proposed changes are based on written findings, current county and state specific information, known infestations, potential spread, distribution, potential impact, and the weed list classification A, B, and C categories as defined in WAC 16-750-003.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 17.10 RCW.

     Statute Being Implemented: Chapter 17.10 RCW.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     Name of Proponent: Washington state noxious weed control board, governmental.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting, Implementation and Enforcement: Alison Halpern, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA 98504-2560, (360) 902-2082.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. RCW 19.85.030 (1)(a) requires that an agency must prepare a small business economic impact statement (SBEIS) for proposed rules that impose a more than minor cost on businesses in an industry. An analysis of the economic effects of the proposed rule amendments for the two Spartina species demonstrates that the changes will not be more than a minor cost on small businesses involved with those particular species and, therefore, an SBEIS is not required. Net economic impact of the other proposed changes on small businesses would be negligible. Changing butterfly bush from a class C to a class B noxious weed does not forbid its sale. Variable-leaf milfoil is currently sold by fewer than 10% of the industry and its listing as a class A does not forbid its sale. The remaining proposed additions to the weed list (ricefield bulrush, common hawkweed, and European hawkweed) are not sold in the trade. The two other noxious weeds (poison-hemlock and common reed) being changed from class C to class B noxious weeds are already county-selected for control. Changing the designations of four class B noxious weeds (policeman's helmet, sulfur cinquefoil, orange hawkweed, rush skeletonweed) in select counties would have negligible, if any, effects on small businesses.

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The Washington state noxious weed control board is not one of the agencies listed in this section.
