the
director or designee to advance agency stewardship goals and are surplus to
the park's needs.
(2) Prior to a
sale of natural resources, qualified park personnel or their designated agent
shall conduct an inventory or
cruise of the materials, appraise the value of
such materials, and establish a minimum acceptable bid, unless such natural
resources are for use by the park or qualify for direct sale under subsection

Where timber is to be sold, such timber shall be cruised or
appraised using methods consistent with those applied by the Washington

commission.

where the cruised volume of timber is less than or equal to five thousand
board-feet shall require approval by the natural resources program
