The existing rules delineating “Shorelines of the State” have not been systematically updated since adoption in the 1970’s. Beginning in 2006, Ecology will review and approve updates to the Shoreline Master Programs. This will include updates to maps and descriptions of Shorelines of the State.
Revision of the rules is necessary to preclude any apparent conflict between the updated maps contained in new Ecology-approved Shoreline Master Programs and the outdated rule lists of Shoreline water bodies. In addition, state and federal statutes have been amended and Ecology is amending the rules listed above to ensure conformity with these changes. Outcome of Hearing Board and court cases on point with existing rules need to be incorporated to ensure conformity with the case decisions. Additional revisions are proposed to improve clarity of administration.
