WAC 16-08-003   Declaration of purpose and applicability.  This chapter sets forth the rules of procedure that are applicable to adjudicative proceedings before the department. Because civil penalties and orders issued by the department pursuant to chapters 90.64 and 90.48 RCW in the livestock nutrient management program are appealable only to the pollution control hearings board (PCHB) under chapter 43.21B RCW and chapter 371-08 WAC, this chapter is not applicable to those proceedings.



[Statutory Authority: Chapters 90.64 and 34.05 RCW. 04-02-063, § 16-08-003, filed 1/7/04, effective 2/7/04.]
