Subject of Possible Rule Making: Amending WAC 332-120-060 and 332-120-070 to revise the project completion and perpetuation process. Providing an improved method of recordkeeping and documentation of land survey monument perpetuations.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 58.24.030(2) and 58.24.040(8).
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The current WAC 332-120-060 project completion process needs clarification of how a permanent public record of a land survey monument is created. The availability and access to the public record of land survey monument perpetuations will be spelled out in the revised WAC.
Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: Coordination on compliance will be with the board of registration for professional engineers and land surveyors (BRPELS) and the county road administration board.
Process for Developing New Rule: Full rule-making process. Drafted in conjunction with stakeholders, including BRPELS.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Patrick J. Beehler, PLS, CFedS, 1111 Washington Street S.E., Olympia, WA 98504-7030, phone 360-902-1181, fax 306-902-1778, email pat.beehler@dnr.wa.gov, website https://www.dnr.wa.gov/; or David Icenhower, PLS, CFedS, 801 88th Avenue S.E., Tumwater, WA 98504-7019, phone 360-902-1197, fax 360-902-1191, email David.Icenhower@dnr.wa.gov, website https://www.dnr.wa.gov/public-land-survey-office.
