Resource sales and leases.
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.
