| Abstract | Long Description |
When proposing a new administrative rule for consideration, the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) is required by RCW 34.05.328(1) (d) to determine whether the probable benefits exceed the probable costs. This document fulfills this requirement for the proposed amendments of Chapter 173-218 WAC -- Underground Injection Control Program and Chapter 173-216 WAC--State waste discharge permit program. The proposed rule amendments can be expected to affect municipalities, industry, and commerce. This cost benefit analysis analyzes the probable benefits and probable costs of the proposed rule amendments and concludes that the probable benefits resulting from adoption of the proposed rule amendments should be at least $21 million greater than the probable costs. The proposed rule amendments are also expected to be the least burdensome to those required to comply without sacrificing the general goals and specific objectives of the rule making. |
