During the nine-week period between December 1, 1998 and January 31, 1999, DNR issued citations to: • A&R Logging of Montesano, which was tagged with a stop- work order for violating forest practices rules and to prevent and avoid damage to public resources in a Mason County project. • Sam Boling of Brinnon, who was issued a stop-work order for violating forest practices rules in a Mason County project. * Manke Lumber Company of Shelton, issued a notice of failure to comply for an unauthorized de- viation from a tbrest practices permit in Mason County. During the time period, accord- ing to DNR, 37 violations were cited in 21 counties. Two of the citations issued were for DNR projects in Stevens, Okanogan and Skamania counties.
