Description The 2011 Legislature directed Ecology to review its water right application procedures in an Operating Budget Proviso, 2ESHB 1087 Sec. 302(7). The bill states:

(7) The department shall review its water rights application review procedures to simplify the procedures, eliminate unnecessary steps, and decrease the time required to issue decisions. The department shall implement changes to improve water rights processing for which it has current administrative authority. The department shall report on reforms implemented and efficiencies achieved as demonstrated through enhanced permit processing to the appropriate committees of the legislature on December 1, 2011, and October 1, 2012.
