Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) The department,
			 having determined further consumptive appropriation for all uses would
			 harmfully impact instream values, closes the following streams including
			 tributaries for the period indicated:
(a) Stream Name
Tributary to
Closure Period
Alderbrook Creek
Hood Canal
May 1 - October 31
Campbell Creek
Oakland Bay
May 1 - October 31

Uncle John Creek

The minimum flow during the closure period on the streams
				listed above is the natural flow. Because insufficient flow data is available
				to develop instream flows outside the closure period, minimum flows for any
				water right application for consumptive use will be considered on a case by
				case basis in consultation with the departments of fisheries and game (RCW
				75.20.050).
(b) Stream Name
Closure Period
Kennedy Creek
May 1 - November 15

Deer Creek
September 16 - November 15
Johns Creek
September 16 - November 15
Sherwood Creek
September 16 - November 15
Perry Creek
May 1 - October 31
Because sufficient hydrologic data is available for the above
				streams, a minimum flow is established during the closed and nonclosed period
				in WAC 173-514-030(2).
(2) Except as noted in the
			 footnotes, the following existing surface water source limitations, previously
			 established administratively under the authority of
			 chapter
			 90.03 RCW and RCW
			 75.20.050 are hereby confirmed and adopted for the period indicated:
