Short Description

The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) is proposing Chapters 173-527 and 173-528 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), Water Resource Programs for two lower Columbia River basins, Water Resources Inventory Areas (WRIA) 27 and 28.

The objective of this Small Business Economic Impact Statement (SBEIS) is to identify and evaluate the various requirements and costs that the proposed rules might impose on businesses. In particular, the SBEIS examines whether the costs on businesses from the proposed rules impose a disproportionate impact on the state′s small businesses. The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 19.85.040 describes the specific purpose and required contents of an SBEIS.

Ecology is developing and issuing this Small Business Economic Impact Statement (SBEIS) as part of its rule adoption process and to meet Chapter 19.85 RCW. Ecology intends to use the information in the SBEIS to ensure that the proposed rules are consistent with legislative policy.
