    EMERGENCY RULES
    DEPARTMENT OF
    FISH AND WILDLIFE
    [Order 16-47-Filed March 16, 2016, 10:38 a.m., effective April 2, 2016]
    Effective Date of Rule: April 2, 2016.
    Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for Bowers Lake (Vance Creek Pond).
    Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-18000Q; and amending WAC 220-310-180.
    Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, 77.12.045, and 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: This emergency regulation is needed to allow an early fishing opportunity for juveniles, seniors, and anglers with a disability who possess a department of fish and wildlife designated harvester card. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
