FINAL PROPOSED REVISIONS TO RECREATION RULES AVAILALABLE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW


The Department of Natural Resources is in the final phase of revising rules for recreation and public access on DNR-managed lands. The rules are known as Chapter 332-52 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC). We will be conducting a public hearing starting at 7 p.m., November 5, 2008 at the King County Library Systems Service Center, 960 Newport Way in Issaquah. The public comment period runs from October 15 to November 10, 2008.

The hearing and comment period will provide one last review of the proposed revisions before they are adopted. Thanks to everyone who participated in the nine public hearings in June and provided comments about the proposed rule revisions. We made changes to the language based on comments and public testimony. You can review our changes in a version that shows our edits and reasoning behind our changes. We did not address comments in this document that were beyond the scope of the rule-making process.

To request a copy of all the comments received during the public comment period, contact DNR’s SEPA Center at 360-902-2117 or sepacenter@dnr.wa.gov.
