Description The Concise Explanatory Statement provides a summary of the rulemaking and Ecology's response to comments received on the proposed rule language for the rule amendment to Chapter 173-201A WAC.

Due to the volume of comments and responses, Ecology placed the appendices in a separate document, called the Concise Explanatory Statement Appendices A, B, and C. The appendices include copies of the original comments, hearing transcripts, and rulemaking citations.
