Description | In these tough economic times, some are asking whether we need state environmental protections that go beyond the minimums required by federal laws. The following information is presented to help answer that question. Because federal laws apply to every state in the union, they are not designed to address a state’s unique ecosystems, habitat or topography. Washington’s laws, citizen initiatives and rules are designed to better protect our state’s valuable natural resources and quality of life. |
