Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The following qualifications, procedures, and general
			provisions pertain to the sale of natural resources from commission owned or
			managed lands:
(1) Subject to the
		  limitations set forth under WAC
		  352-28-010(4),
		  the sale of natural resources will be undertaken only where they advance a
		  commission approved development, are part of a resource conservation plan or
		  interagency agreement approved by the director or designee, or are deemed by
		  the director or designee to advance agency stewardship goals and are surplus to
		  the park's needs.
(2) Prior to a
		  sale of natural resources, qualified park personnel or their designated agent
		  shall conduct an inventory or cruise of the materials, appraise the value of
		  such materials, and establish a minimum acceptable bid, unless such natural
		  resources are for use by the park or qualify for direct sale under subsection
		  (5) of this section.
Where timber is to be sold, such timber shall be cruised or
			appraised using methods consistent with those applied by the Washington
			department of natural resources or other applicable professional standards of
			forest land and timber appraisal. Complete records of the methods and
			assumptions used to make the cruise or timber appraisal and estimated minimum
			acceptable bids shall be maintained.
(3) Sales of timber where the cruised volume
		  of the timber is in excess of one million board-feet shall require approval by
		  a majority of the commission.
(4)
		  Sales of timber where the cruised volume of the timber is less than or equal to
		  one million board-feet and greater than five thousand board-feet shall require
		  approval by the director or designee. The director may defer approval to the
		  commission, in which case it shall require approval by a majority of the
		  commission.
(5) Sales of timber
		  where the cruised volume of timber is less than or equal to five thousand
		  board-feet shall require approval by the natural resources program
		  manager.
(6) Sales of timber
		  resulting from the conversion of forest land for the development of park
		  facilities where the appraised value of the timber removed is in excess of
		  twenty-five thousand dollars shall require approval by a majority of the
		  commission.
(7) Sales of natural
		  resources other than timber where the appraised value is in excess of
		  twenty-five thousand dollars shall require approval by a majority of the
		  commission.
(8) All sales shall be
		  conducted pursuant to procedures approved by the commission.
