Description Ecology is issuing this Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) and Least Burdensome Alternative Analysis, under Chapter 34.05 RCW. Ecology will use the information developed in this analysis to ensure that the rule is consistent with legislative policy.

As required in the RCW 34.05.328(1) (d), before adopting the rule amendments, the director of Ecology must make the following determination:

Determine that the probable benefits of the rule are greater than its probable costs, taking into account both the qualitative and quantitative benefits and costs and the specific directives of the statute being implemented;

To fulfill the statutory requirement, this cost benefit analysis evaluates whether or not the probable benefits resulting from the amendments are greater than the probable costs. The analysis relies upon both qualitative and quantitative methods and concludes that the probable benefits of the amendments exceed the probable costs.
