| Description | The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) manages the Zoestera japonica Management on Commercial Clam Beds in Willapa Bay General Permit. This Small Business Economic Impact Analysis (SBEIA) estimates the costs of complying with the Zoestera japonica Management on Commercial Clam Beds in Willapa Bay General Permit (“permit”). This general permit regulates the discharge of the aquatic herbicide imazamox and marker dyes to manage Zostera japonica (Z. japonica) on commercial clam beds (excluding geoduck culture) in Willapa Bay. Z. japonica is a non-native species of eelgrass listed as a Class C noxious weed on commercial clam beds only. Clam beds are most effected by Z. japonica because of the organisms’ preferred location higher on the intertidal zone. This general permit helps Ecology: • Mitigate and condition the aquatic use of the herbicide imazamox. • Monitor impacts of imazamox treatments to non-target organisms. • Track imazamox use rates and locations. • Ensure that notifications and postings occur in areas where the public or local residents may access the treated areas |
