PERMANENT RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: The purpose of this proposal is to streamline, reorganize, and update rules in accordance with the WAC overhaul project currently underway. The agency's RCWs were combined and updated after the department of fisheries and the department of wildlife were consolidated; however the WACs were never consolidated and streamlined. These changes are part of a larger effort to reorganize and update the agency's WACs.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: This rule change proposal was discussed during the fish and wildlife commission meeting and public hearing held on November 8, 2012. The proposed changes were adopted by the commission at the December 14, 2012, commission meeting. The changes update, clarify, and improve enforceability of various shellfish, fish, and wildlife rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 220-20-039 Live fish--Import and transfer, 220-20-040 General provisions--Rearing and planting food fish, 220-55-230 Columbia River endorsement, 220-56-360 Razor clams--Areas and seasons, 220-56-372 Razor clam sanctuaries, 220-76-020 Aquatic farm registration form--Required information, 220-90-010 Herring hardship validations, qualifications, and conditions, 220-90-015 Resort or marina--Owner or operator, 232-12-025 Hunts authorized pursuant to RCW 77.12.240, 232-12-064 Live wildlife, 232-12-091 Commercial buying and processing of anadromous game fish or roe, 232-12-097 Transportation of anadromous game fish and roe, 232-12-242 Hunting restrictions and 232-12-261 Live decoys unlawful and 232-12-289 Official hunting hours for game birds and game animals; new WAC 232-12-063 Live wildlife--Facility, fencing, and marking requirements and 232-12-288 Official hunting hours for game animals and forest grouse; and repealing WAC 220-16-255 Geographical definitions--Razor clam areas, 220-74-015 Surplus salmon eggs, 220-85-115 Rules of practice and procedure, 220-100-068 Formal administrative appeal of department environmental determinations, 232-16-010 Establishment of game reserves, and 232-28-285 2010-2011 Pilot cougar hunting seasons with the aid of dogs.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.013, 77.04.055, 77.12.045, and 77.12.047.
Adopted under notice filed as WSR 12-19-091 on September 19, 2012.
Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: Some small editing changes were made from the proposed to the adopted version. However, these were all technical changes rather than substantive. Changes include amending WAC titles for uniformity, correcting a few errors, and making minor word changes/additions for clarity. Additionally, WAC 220-56-360 was changed to include seven razor clam areas instead of the original three. This change is consistent with regularly adopted emergency rules for razor clam seasons and promotes clarity and efficiency.

The bottom six feet must be mesh of sufficient size to prevent resident wildlife ungulates (hoofed animals) from entering and captive wildlife from escaping. Supplemental wire required to attain a height of eight feet may be smooth, barbed, or woven wire (at least 12-1/2 gauge) with strands spaced not more than six inches apart.
(b) Perimeter fences constructed of high tensile wire must be supported by a post or stay at minimum intervals of eight feet.

(d) Electric fencing materials may be used on perimeter fences only as a supplement to conventional fencing materials.
(e) All gates in the perimeter fences must be self-closing, equipped with two locking devices, and installed only in locations that have been approved by the director. Double gates may be required at points in the perimeter fences subject to frequent vehicle traffic that is not related to activities involving the holding of captive wildlife.
(f) Posts used in the perimeter fences must be:
(i) Wood (pressure treated), five-inch minimum diameter or an equivalent as approved by the director;
(ii) Spaced no more than twenty-four feet apart with stays or supports at eight foot intervals between the posts;
(iii) Extended at least eight feet above ground level; and
(iv) Have corners braced with wood or with an equivalent material as approved by the director.
(g) Fences must be maintained at all times to prevent captive wildlife from escaping or resident wildlife ungulates (hoofed animals) from entering the enclosure. If such animals do pass through, under, or over the fence because of any topographic feature or other conditions, the person possessing wildlife must immediately supplement the fence to prevent continued passage.
(h) For any fence existing prior to February 13, 1993, a person may petition the director in writing for a variance from the above fencing requirements. Any such petition must be filed no later than May 31, 1993, and must identify all aspects in which the existing fence does not meet the fencing requirements contained herein. On approval of the director, such person may maintain such existing fence with normal repair. However, any extension or relocation of existing fence must meet the fencing requirements contained herein.
(14) Marking requirements:
(a) All live specimens of wildlife identified in subsection (2) of this section must be individually identified by the methods specified below:
