Washington Revised Code Title 76. Forests and Forest Products § 76.09.368. Intent--Small forestland owners--Alternate plan processes/alternate harvest restrictions--Report to the legislature

The legislature intends that small forestland owners have access to alternate plan processes or alternate harvest restrictions, or both if necessary, that meet the public resource protection standard set forth in RCW 76.09.370(3), but which also lowers the overall cost of regulation to small forestland owners including, but not limited to, timber value forgone, layout costs, and operating costs. The forest practices board shall consult with the small forestland owner office advisory committee in developing these alternate approaches. By July 1, 2003, the forest practices board shall provide the legislature with a written report that describes the board's progress in developing alternate plan processes or alternate harvest restrictions, or both if necessary, that meet legislative intent.

As used in this section, “small forestland owner” has the same meaning as defined in RCW 76.13.120(2).
