(a) All who are acquainted with the state of Washington know of the Grand Coulee Dam and the Columbia Basin project. In 1943, the congress of the United States passed the Columbia Basin Project Act, 57 Stat. 14 (1943),  16 U.S.C. 835(1958)  so that waters made available by the dam for irrigation purposes could be beneficially used. The state's historical position, as set forth in both state legislation and executive statements, has been one of full cooperation with the federal government to insure that the project's purpose of settling and developing the agricultural lands within said project is realized.
(b) Under state law, subject to existing rights, all natural groundwaters of the state and all "artificially stored" groundwaters that have been abandoned or forfeited are public groundwaters available for appropriation as provided for in chapters 90.44 and 90.03 RCW.
(c) Beneath the surface of the lands within and adjoining the Columbia Basin project are large quantities of naturally occurring and artificially stored groundwater, the source, extent, volume and flow characteristics being generally known, but the depth being largely unknown.
(d) With the development of the Columbia Basin project, by the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, the groundwater characteristics of the land within the project have, without doubt, undergone change, including a substantial commingling of natural and "artificially stored" groundwaters.
(e) Within the Columbia Basin project, but outside the Quincy groundwater management subarea, established by chapter 173-124 WAC, and the Odessa groundwater management subarea established by chapter 173-128A WAC, certain persons and entities presently claim interests in portions of these commingled waters.
(f) To insure that the public interest is protected as well as the interests of those claiming interests in said groundwaters and that at the same time public waters are, when appropriate, made available for beneficial use, this office, in carrying out its duties and obligations, deems it necessary to set forth certain interim policies which shall guide the department in granting authority to make withdrawal from these commingled waters until groundwater subareas are established under the procedures set forth in RCW  90.44.130.

			 as the act.
			 RCW
			  42.56.070(1) requires each
			 agency to make available for inspection and copying nonexempt "public records"
			 in accordance with published rules. The act defines "public record" to include
			 any "writing containing information relating to the conduct of government or
			 the performance of any governmental or proprietary function prepared, owned,
			 used, or retained" by the agency.
			 RCW
			  42.56.070(2) requires each
			 agency to set forth "for informational purposes" every law, in addition to the
			 Public Records Act, that exempts or prohibits the disclosure of public records
			 held by that agency.
(2) The
			 purpose of these rules is to establish the procedures Western Washington
			 University will follow in order to provide full access to public records.
			 Western Washington University shall hereinafter be referred to as the
			 "university." Where appropriate, the term university also refers to the staff
			 and employees of Western Washington University. These rules provide information
			 to persons wishing to request access to public records of the university and
			 establish processes for both requestors and university staff that are designed
			 to best assist members of the public in obtaining such access.
(3) The purpose of the act is to provide the
			 public full access to information concerning the conduct of government, mindful
			 of individuals' privacy rights and the desirability of the efficient
			 administration of government. The act and these rules will be interpreted in
			 favor of disclosure. In carrying out its responsibilities under the act, the
			 university will be guided by the provisions of the act describing its purposes
			 and interpretation.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) The Public
			 Records Act provides that a number of types of documents are exempt from public
			 inspection and copying. In addition, documents are exempt from disclosure if
			 any "other statute" exempts or prohibits disclosure. Requestors should be aware
			 of the following exemptions, outside the Public Records Act, that restrict the
			 availability of some documents held by the university for inspection and
			 copying. This is not an exhaustive list as numerous exemptions exist outside
			 the act. The university's failure to list an exemption here shall not affect

Washington Administrative Code › Title 516 - Western Washington University › Chapter 516-09 - Public records › Section 516-09-070 - Costs of providing copies of public records

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Costs for providing copies. Calculating the actual costs of
				charges for providing public records is unduly burdensome because it will
				consume scarce university resources to conduct a study of actual costs, and it
				is difficult to accurately calculate all costs directly incident to copying
				records, including equipment and paper costs, data storage costs, electronic
				production costs, and staff time for copying and sending requested records.
				Instead of calculating the actual costs of charges for records, the public
				records officer shall establish, maintain, and make available for public
				inspection and copying a statement of costs that the university charges for
				providing photocopies or electronically produced copies of public records, and
				such charges for records shall not exceed the maximum default charges allowed
				in RCW
				 42.56.120(2)(b). The
				university may also use any other method authorized by the Public Records Act
				for imposing charges for public records including, but not limited to, charging
				a flat fee, charging a customized service charge, or charging based on a
				contract, memorandum of understanding, or other agreement with a requestor.
				Fees may be waived when the public records officer determines collecting a fee
				is not cost effective for the university.
Prior to providing records, the public records officer or
				designee may request the estimated cost of reproduction.

(1) Petition for internal administrative
			 review of denial of access. Any person who objects to the initial denial or
			 partial denial of a records request may petition in writing to the public
			 records officer for a review of that decision. The petition shall include a
			 copy of or reasonably identify the written statement by the public records
			 officer or designee denying the request.
(2) Review by the attorney general's office.
			 Pursuant to
			 RCW
			  42.56.530, if the university denies a
			 requestor access to public records because it claims the record is exempt in
			 whole or in part from disclosure, the requestor may request the attorney
			 general's office to review the matter. The attorney general has adopted rules
			 on such requests in WAC
			 44-06-160.
(3) Judicial review. Any person may obtain
