This bill amends RCW 43.21B.110 to expand the jurisdiction of the pollution control hearings board to include appeals of civil enforcement decisions made by the Department of Natural Resources under RCW 76.04.205. The bill specifies that the hearings board will have the authority to hear appeals from various decisions made by multiple state departments and local entities, including civil penalties, permit issuances, and other regulatory actions. The addition of subsection (p) explicitly includes decisions made by the Department of Natural Resources under the specified RCW, thereby enhancing the board's oversight capabilities in environmental enforcement matters.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the types of hearings that will not be conducted by the hearings board, such as those required by the shorelines hearings board or specific hearings conducted by the department under various RCWs. This delineation ensures that the hearings board's jurisdiction is clearly defined, while also maintaining the integrity of other regulatory processes. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the appeals process related to environmental enforcement and enhance accountability within the Department of Natural Resources.
