Title 20. ZONING |
Chapter 20.61. RIGHT-TO-FARM/RIGHT-TO-PRACTICE FORESTRY |
§ 20.61.010. Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to promote the continued viability of agricultural activities and forest practices within Thurston County and to protect such activities and practices from nuisance lawsuits, consistent with state law. Such lawsuits encourage and may even force the premature removal of lands from agricultural uses and timber production. With this chapter, the county is further recognizing existing Washington state nuisance protection laws (RCW 7.48.300 through 7.48.310) and any subsequent amendment of such laws.
