resource lands, and critical areas under RCW 36.70A.170, or the

date by which a county or city is required to protect such lands

and critical areas under RCW 36.70A.060, if the county or city

demonstrates that it is proceeding in an orderly fashion, and is

making a good faith effort, to meet these requirements.  An

extension may be for up to an additional one hundred eighty days. 

The length of an extension shall be based on the difficulty of the

effort to conform with these requirements."
