Description The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) is adopting Chapter 173-539A WAC - Water Resources Program for the Upper Kittitas Ground Water Rule. The Administrative Procedure Act (RCW 34.05.328(1)(d) & (e)) requires two types of analyses before adopting a significant legislative rule – a cost-benefit analysis, and a least burdensome alternative analysis. This report provides the results of these analyses and shows the potential economic impacts of the rule.

Ecology has used the information developed in these analyses to inform the agency’s rule-making decision as required by RCW 34.05.328. Ecology has also developed and issued an updated Small Business Economic Impact Statement (SBEIS) as part of the rule-making process.
