Draft Rule Language Expected for Informal Review

Milestone

Ecology indicated during March 2026 workshops that draft rule language will be available for informal stakeholder review in April or May 2026. A second draft is expected in summer 2026. This is an informal review period distinct from the formal public comment period later in the process. WSMC members should plan to review and provide feedback during this window.
