Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to criteria for excluding artificial water bodies as shorelines of the state; and amending RCW 90.58.030.
AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "shorelines" in the Shoreline Management Act to exclude certain artificial water bodies that meet specific criteria, such as being constructed and operated for a commercial purpose, restricted to only those operating the facility, and not intended to support fish or wildlife habitat. The bill also specifies that these excluded artificial water bodies must have their surface continuity with a natural water body interrupted by a pipe, pump, dike, or other structure. This change aims to clarify which water bodies are considered "shorelines of the state" under the Act.
