The purpose of this chapter is to adopt rules, regulations, and guidelines to implement executive orders issued by the governor prohibiting any person or persons with certain limited exceptions from entering the high risk danger zone known as the restricted zone of the Mt. St. Helens volcano as described in that executive order, and providing entry permit procedures for persons excepted. These rules may be amended from time to time as conditions warrant. The executive orders issued by the governor recognize the continuing danger from additional eruptions, earthquakes, flash floods, and other related events from Mt. St. Helens.
