Latest version.
  • (1) The legislature and the federal government have allocated funds and anticipate allocating additional funds to buy back salmon licenses from commercial license holders. The department hereby designates $34,884,689 of these funds as the 2001-2002 Puget Sound salmon license economic adjustment assistance program (program). The licenses eligible to participate in the program are purse seine, Puget Sound salmon gillnet, and reef net.
    (2) The goal of the program is to provide economic relief to Washington commercial salmon fishers, and to reduce the number of Washington commercial salmon licenses. To accomplish this, the department is proposing a three-step process, all three steps of which are purchase of licenses for a fixed sum.
    (3) The department will allocate the funds available for the program after deducting up to 3% for the costs of state program administration as follows:
    (a) Spring 2001, Phase 1.
    (i) Purse seine - 56.4% at a purchase price of $103,300 per license.
    (ii) Gillnet - 38.5% at a purchase price of $27,500 per license.
    (iii) Reef net - 5.1% at a purchase price of $57,600 per license.
    (b) Fall 2001, Phase 2.
    (c) Spring 2002, Phase 3.
    Program administration funds that will not be used will be reallocated to license purchases.
    (4) The program expires upon the distribution of all available funds.
