Section 25-48-040 - Agency policy

The overriding policy of the department is to assure the protection of the archaeological resources of the state. This policy results from:

(2) The public interest in the conservation, preservation, and protection of the state's archaeological resources, and the knowledge to be derived and gained from the scientific study of these resources (RCW 27.53.010).
