Part 13 - RELATING TO THE SALE OF TIMBER ON STATE LANDS
Section 19.2.13.22 - SUSPENSION OF LOGGING OPERATIONS AND TERMINATION OF THE TIMBER CONTRACT BY THE COMMISSIONER

The timber contract shall also contain a provision that all operations on the sale area, including the removal of scaled timber, may be suspended by written notice from the commissioner, or the commissioner's duly authorized representative in charge, if the conditions and requirements contained in the timber sale contract are disregarded by the contract holder, or the contract holder's agents or employees. Such suspension by the representative of the commissioner shall be only upon the approval of the commissioner. The commissioner may cancel any lease, contract or other instrument executed by the commissioner relating to state trust lands for nonpayment of monies due or for violation of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of such lease or instrument, after giving the party or parties in interest 30 days notice by registered mail; provided, however, if within the 30 days, the party or parties in interest shall comply with the demand in the notice, cancellation shall not be made. Provided, further, that in case where monies due are delinquent, the commissioner may, at the commissioner's option, look to the purchaser or the purchaser's sureties and the commissioner's lien upon improvements for payment, rather than cancel the contract.
