(a) If land is converted to a use incompatible with growing trees within six years after approval of a forest practices permit application that was not a Class IV general or did not have an approved COHP, the conversion constitutes a violation of each of the local and regional authorities to which the forest practice operations would have been subject if the application had stated that conversion was intended. (RCW 76.09.060(3)(b)(iii).)

(b) The County shall impose the six-year moratorium of CCC 27.11.500(1) from the date the unpermitted conversion was discovered by the DNR or the County. (RCW 76.09.060(3)(b)(i)(C).)

(c) Violations may be subject to civil or criminal penalties, as per Chapter 222-46 WAC. The County may also enforce its regulations as provided in subsection (1)(a) of this section, using the procedures in Chapter 33.59 CCC and CCC 27.12.055.

(a) It is the responsibility of DNR to ensure that reforestation per Chapter 222-34 WAC occurs on lands devoted to continued forestry use (per CCC 27.11.500). However, if reforestation does not occur within these areas or on areas required under the County forest permit requirements, the County may also enforce its regulations as provided in subsection (1) of this section.

(b) Failure to reforest may also constitute a removal of forest tax designation and a change of use, and shall subject the lands to the payments and/or penalties resulting from such removals or changes. (RCW 76.09.060(3)(b)(ii).)
