The Department of Ecology (Ecology) is proposing to issue an individual permit to the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) to cover fish management in surface waters of the state. Ecology plans to release the permit for public comment in the spring on 2008. This permit, once issued, revokes and replaces the current Fishery Resource Management individual permit.
This individual permit covers the discharge of two fish eradication chemicals (piscicides), rotenone and antimycin A, to waters of the state for the control of undesirable fish species. Under the Washington State Water Pollution Control Act, the discharge of pollutants which may alter the biological or chemical characteristics of a water body requires a permit. The proposed permit addresses these legal requirements and regulates the discharge of pollutants to protect surface water quality in Washington state.
The current permit for Fishery Resource Management expired in July 2007. For more information, please contact:
