Ecology, with assistance from the Department of Health and
advisory committees, is developing a rule for reclaimed water.
As draft rule language is developed and written comments are received, we post them on this page, with the most recent additions listed first. Go to the
Reclaimed Water Rule Advisory
Committee (RW-RAC) page to view the RW-RAC meeting minutes.
If you would like to comment on the rule please contact Tim Gaffney at
tgaf461@ecy.wa.gov or 360-407-6563.
Please note: This is currently an informal comment
process on a preliminary draft rule. This information is being provided to
enhance the quality of the public involvement process, the draft rule itself,
and provide a framework for future rule-making activities. At a later date, the
Administrative procedures Act (APA) Chapter 34.05 RCW will require a formal
comment period and a Response to Comments and Ecology will make these available
here as well.

To inform and guide the development of the draft and final rule, Ecology compiled a
preliminary “baseline rule" of the existing framework of laws, rules, and
guidance currently used to regulate the use of reclaimed water.
Ecology has since learned that “baseline rule” is a technical term used for a
draft rule. To avoid confusion, the “baseline rule” will be called the “Existing
Framework” in the future and the new draft rule will be called the “draft
rule”.
