(b) Any representative of the intervenor meets the requirements of WAC 246-11-070.
(3) A person will not be allowed to intervene if that person had notice of the board's decision and, upon timely application, would have been able to appear as a party in the matter in which intervention is sought, but failed to make such timely application.
(4) If intervention is granted, the intervenor shall comply with this chapter on the same basis as the other parties to the proceeding, unless otherwise limited in the order granting intervention.
