Wash. Admin. Code § 332-12-400 - Termination of lease for default

The department may cancel the lease for noncompliance with the lease agreement, plan of operations, or applicable laws, rules, and regulations. The lessee shall be notified of such noncompliance and the necessary corrective measures by certified mail to the last known address of the lessee. If the lessee shall diligently and in good faith prosecute the remedying of the default specified in such notice, then no cancellation of the lease shall occur. Otherwise termination or cancellation shall automatically become effective thirty days from the date of mailing the notice of default and shall be final. The lessee may make a written request for an extension of time outlining the circumstances such extension is warranted. The department may, upon receiving a written request prior to the end of the thirty-day period, grant an extension of time in which to comply with the terms and conditions of the lease. Termination shall not relieve the lessee of any obligation incurred under the lease.

Failure to pay required rental and/or royalty within the time prescribed shall automatically and without notice work a forfeiture of such leases and of all rights thereunder.
