MTCA Cleanup Rule

September 8, 2022. During the First MTCA Cleanup Rule Update (AO#18-09, Chapter 173-340 WAC) STAG members began reviewing four versions of the second preliminary draft rule language called PD 2. The four versions contained the same draft rule changes; the four alternative presentations were designed to aid STAG's review. Ecology's briefing paper (p. 6) has details about the four versions.

October 13, 2022. STAG members and their constituents identified significant issues or concerns in PD2 and submitted their comments: 

• Whitney Fraser | Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (Oct 2022)
• John McCorkle | SLR International -and- NAIOP (Oct 2022)
