| Description | The Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 34.05 RCW) requires that, before adopting a significant legislative rule, Ecology must, “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.” [RCW 34.05.328(1)(c)] Estimated impacts are determined as compared to the existing regulatory environment—the way dam safety fees would be regulated in the absence of the proposed rule amendment. The existing regulatory environment is called the “baseline” in this document. It includes only existing regulation through laws and rules at federal, state, and local levels. It does not include elements such as guidance or unofficial standard practices in industry or business. This document provides the public with an overview of the methods Ecology used to perform its analysis, and the most likely impacts found. |
