5868. Property may be considered for designation if its significant features are either of natural origin and remain largely wild and undisturbed, or have the salient characteristics of natural features, including function and appearance, but have been subject to human intervention or use. The department shall use the following criteria to evaluate whether a property is one of state significance:
(a) Primary criteria for a specific type of natural feature is the main basis for selection of property as being of state significance. Primary criteria consist of both of the following:
(1) Illustrative character, which requires the property to exhibit a combination of well-developed components that are recognized in the appropriate scientific literature as characteristic of a particular type of natural feature. Generally, the property should be unusually illustrative, rather than merely statistically representative.
(2) Present conditions, which require that the integrity of the significant features of the property has been maintained, enhanced, or restored.
(b) Secondary criteria may be used to supplement the comparison of two or more similar properties pursuant to the primary criteria specified in subdivision (a). Secondary criteria consist of all of the following:
(1) Diversity, which requires property, in addition to its primary natural feature, to contain high quality examples of other biological or geological features or processes.
(2) Rarity, which requires property, in addition to its primary natural feature, to contain rare geological or paleontological features or natural communities, or to provide high quality habitat for one or more rare, threatened, or endangered species.
(3) Value for science and education, which requires the property to contain known or potential information as a result of its association with a significant scientific discovery, concept, or exceptionally extensive and long-term record of onsite research, with the result that the property offers unusual opportunity for public interpretation of the natural history of the state.

(a) The department may enter into a contract or other type of agreement with another state agency, federal agency, local agency, private organization, owner, Native American tribal government, or other interested individual or group, to assist in administering the California Natural Landmarks Program. The contract or agreement may include, but is not limited to, provisions about identification, evaluation, or monitoring a California natural landmark. However, any contract or agreement shall not authorize an entity, other than the department, to administer the provisions of this act with respect to an individual natural landmark, without the consent of the owner of the property included within the landmark.
(b) The department may conduct educational and scientific activities to disseminate information on California natural landmarks, the California Natural Landmarks Program, and benefits derived from systematic surveys of significant natural features, to the general public, interested local, state, and federal agencies, and private groups. The department may restrict information on ecologically or geologically fragile or sensitive areas, if release of that information may endanger or harm the sensitive resources.
(c) The owner of a designated California natural landmark may disseminate information about the property’s status as a natural landmark in educational and other potential materials.
