They're not done with us yet...

The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission is holding a meeting via conference call on Friday, December 5.  The first item on the published agenda may be of interest to the mining community:

A. HPA Rules Revision - Briefing and Decision  Department staff will provide a briefing on recommended process amendments to strengthen the rule adoption for the recently approved HPA Rules.

Unfortunately, the public is excluded from this meeting but interested persons may phone ahead to reserve a space at the Commission office in Olympia (or at one of the Regional Offices) where they will be permitted to listen the the commissioners' deliberations via speakerphone.  Do note that the 'meeting' begins at 8:30 A.M. on the 5th.

The second item on the agenda appears to be of interest to the mining community as well:

B. Petition to Change Rules - Decision  The Commission will formally consider a petition for changes to rulemaking pursuant to RCW 34.05.330:

• Repeal Title 220-660 (Cunningham)

Staff Report: Jeff Davis, Assistant Director and Randi Thurston, Protection Division Manager, Habitat Program

As you may know, Title 220-660 of the Washington Administrative Code is the section containing the recently approved HPA rules.
