Ecology is hosting a listening session on the Fresh Fruit Packing General Permit The Washington State Department of Ecology is revising and reissuing the Fresh Fruit Packing General Permit. Prior to releasing a draft permit for public comment, we are holding a listening session.

Spanish language translation support will be available for individual questions and answers during the event.
