| Description | The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) is adopting Chapter 173-539A WAC - Water Resources Program for the Upper Kittitas County Groundwater Area to prevent additional adverse effects on flows and senior water rights in the Yakima River and its tributaries. The rule withdraws all unappropriated ground water in accordance with RCW 90.54.050(2) due to insufficient information. A ground water study the Legislature funded in 2009 will be performed. Ecology signed an agreement with USGS on November 29, 2010. The Groundwater Code, Chapter 90.44 RCW, is supplemental to Chapter 90.03 RCW, which regulates the surface waters of the state. The Legislature enacted the Groundwater Code to extend the application of such surface water statutes to the appropriation and beneficial use of groundwater within the state. Ecology is developing and issuing this updated Small Business Economic Impact Statement (SBEIS) as part of its rule adoption process and to meet Chapter 19.85 RCW. Ecology has decided to revise its June 2010 SBEIS and reissue this December 2010 Revised SBEIS in light of input received during the public comment during the rule and in order to consider additional information obtained by Ecology as it has implemented a nearly identical Emergency Rule between July 2009 and the present. Ecology uses the information in the SBEIS to inform the agency’s rulemaking decision. |
