Purpose and scope.

(1) What do these rules do? The department's practices and procedures rules, set out in this chapter, govern the method, time and place for challenging department actions and the procedures for conducting an adjudicative proceeding of that challenge.

(b) Forest practices notices to comply (chapter 76.09 RCW);
(c) Oil and gas drilling (chapter 78.52 RCW);
(d) Surface mining (chapter 78.44 RCW);
(e) Other department determinations that are not proprietary and do not fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of separate quasi-judicial boards, such as the forest practices appeals board.
(3) How are these rules organized?
