Forest Practices Biomass Work Group

FOREST PRACTICES BIOMASS WORK GROUP

The Forest Practices Board adopted a rule that includes forest biomass in the definition of “forest practice” in WAC 222-16-010. The rule was adopted on May 10, 2011, and it becomes effective on June 19, 2011. This is intended to ensure the public understands forest biomass harvest is a forest practice and subject to the resource protection measures required in Title 222 WAC and chapter 76.09 RCW.
