| Description |
The proposed rule is to update Chapter 173-201A WAC to amend several sections of the rule, including proposed amendments to numeric criteria for total dissolved gas (TDG) in the Snake and Columbia rivers, amending specific sections of the rule to meet legal obligations in a 2018 Stipulated Order of Dismissal, and amendments to clarify the descriptions of marine water aquatic life use designations. The purpose of the draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) is to evaluate the risks of adjusting the TDG criteria to allow more spill in the Snake and Columbia rivers. The other proposed rule changes will not have a probable adverse impact on the environment. |
