notify you or your agent before conducting the inspection.
4. FISH KILL/WATER QUALITY PROBLEM NOTIFICATION: If a fish kill occurs or fish are observed in distress at the
job site, immediately stop all activities causing harm. Immediately notify the Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife of the problem. If the likely cause of the fish kill or fish distress is related to water quality, also notify the
Washington Military Department Emergency Management Division at 1-800-258-5990.Activities related to the fish kill
or fish distress must not resume until the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife gives approval. The Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife may require additional measures to mitigate impacts.
REQUIRED COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
5. Mitigation for this project must be implemented as described in "5.10.23 Morris - Ratterree CORPS Mitigation
Plan.pdf"and "MITIGATIONDRAWINGS6.5.23.pdf", found in the document section of the application. On-site
mitigation shall consist of the removal of the existing 64 square foot solid decked swim float. Off-site mitigation shall
consist of (1) removal of 6'x20' solid decked float, (2) removal of 8'x20'solid decked float, (3) removal of 3-12"diameter
creosote pilings, (4) removal of 3 tires filled with loose filled foam. Dispose of deck, pilings, tires, and associated
materials at an appropriate upland disposal location.
6. Remove the existing floats, tires, and associated materials from waters of the state. Do not relocate the structure
within waters of the state without written authorization from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
7. Piling removal:
a. Vibratory or direct pull extraction is the preferred method of pile removal.
b. Place the piling on a construction barge or other dry storage site after the piling is removed. The piling must not be
shaken, hosed off, left hanging to dry or any other action intended to clean or remove adhering material from the piling
near waters of the state.
c. If a treated wood piling breaks during extraction, remove the stump from the water column by fully extracting. If the
stump cannot be fully extracted, remove the remainder of the stump with a clamshell bucket, chain, or similar means,
or cut it off three feet below the mudline. Cap all buried cut stumps and fill holes left by piling extraction with clean
sediment that matches the native material.
d. When removing creosote piling, containment booms and absorbent booms (or other oil absorbent fabric) must be
placed around the perimeter of the work area to capture wood debris, oil, and other materials released into marine
waters as a result of construction activities to remove creosote pilings. All debris on the bed and accumulated in
containments structures must be collected and disposed upland at an approved disposal site.
e. Submit post-project surveys (e.g., underwater video, photos at low-tide) along transects within the project area to
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife within two weeks of pile removal to verify debris removal.
STAGING, JOB SITE ACCESS AND EQUIPMENT
8. Establish the staging area (used for activities such as equipment storage, vehicle storage, fueling, servicing, and
hazardous material storage) in a location and manner that will prevent contaminants like petroleum products, hydraulic
fluid,fresh concrete, sediments, sediment-laden water, chemicals, or any other toxic or harmful materials from entering
waters of the state.
9. Check equipment daily for leaks and complete any required repairs before using the equipment in or near the water.
10. Lubricants composed of biodegradable base oils such as vegetable oils, synthetic esters, and polyalkylene glycols
are recommended for use in equipment operated in or near water.
11. Operate vessels during tidal elevations that are adequate to prevent grounding of the barge.
12. Operate vessels with minimal propulsion power to avoid prop scour damage to the bed and marine vegetation
habitats.
13. Maintain anchor cable tension, set and retrieve anchors vertically, and prevent mooring cables from dragging to
avoid impacts to seagrass, kelp, and other macroalgae.

CONSTRUCTION-RELATED SEDIMENT, EROSION AND POLLUTION CONTAINMENT
14. Prevent contaminants from the project,such as petroleum products, hydraulic fluid, concrete dust, sediments,
sediment-laden water, chemicals, or any other toxic or harmful materials,from entering or leaching into waters of the
state.
PIER, RAMP, FLOAT
15. The bottom of the pier must be at least six feet above the bed at the landward end.
16. The pier, ramp, and float structure must not exceed a total length of 125 feet.
17. The structure must not exceed the following widths;the 61 —foot long pier, 6 feet,the 40—foot long ramp, 3 feet,
and the 30—foot long rectangular shaped float, 8 feet.
18. The structure must include functional grating. The grating material's open area must be at least sixty two percent.
a.The pier and ramp must have one hundred percent of the entire deck surface covered in
functional grating.
b.The float must have at least fifty one percent of the entire deck surface covered in functional grating.
Orient grating so the lengthwise opening maximizes the amount of light penetration. Any objects
that are not part of the structure on, above, or below the grating should not block light
penetration. Flotation must be located under the solid decked area only.
19. The bottom of the float must be at least one foot above the substrate so that the structure will not rest on the
bottom.
20. Fully enclose and contain flotation for the structure in a shell (tub). The shell or wrap must prevent breakup or loss
of the flotation material into the water. The shell or wrap must not be readily subject to damage by ultraviolet radiation
and abrasion.
21. Do not construct skirting, including batter fencing, around piers, docks or floats.
22. Use of treated wood for decking is not authorized, but may be used for structural elements. Treated wood subject to
abrasion by vessels, floats, or other objects must incorporate approved design features such as rub strips to minimize
abrasion of the wood. Use of tires is not approved unless proper post-treatment for aquatic environments is performed.
Wood treated with waterborne preservative chemicals (ACZA, ACQ) may be used if approved by the Western Wood
Preservers Institute for use in the aquatic environment. Any use of treated wood in the aquatic environment must follow
guidelines and best management practices available at www.wwpinstitute.org.
PILE DRIVING
23. As specified in the approved plans,four pilings must be 8 inch steel and four pilings must be 10inch steel.
24. Incorporate features, such as steel, plastic or rubber collars,fendering or other systems to prevent or minimize the
abrasion of the treated wood by floats, ramps or vessels. Do not use rubber tires for the fender system.
25. Fit all pilings with devices to prevent perching by fish-eating birds.
26. The use of both a vibratory and/or an impact hammer is authorized for piling installation under this Hydraulic Project
Approval, however a vibratory driver is preferred.
27. Use appropriate sound attenuation when driving or proofing steel piling with an impact hammer. For driving or
proofing steel piling, 10 inches in diameter or less, install a 6 inch thick wood block, plastic or rubber between the piling
and the impact hammer during impact pile driving operations or install a pile sleeve or bubble curtain around the piling
during impact pile driving operations that distributes air bubbles around 100%of the perimeter of the piling over the full
depth of the water column.
DEMOBILIZATION/CLEANUP
28. Reshape beach area depressions created during project activities to preproject beach level upon project
completion.

APPEALS INFORMATION
If you wish to appeal the issuance, denial,conditioning, or modification of a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA),
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) recommends that you first contact the department employee who
issued or denied the HPA to discuss your concerns. Such a discussion may resolve your concerns without the need for
further appeal action. If you proceed with an appeal, you may request an informal or formal appeal. WDFW encourages
you to take advantage of the informal appeal process before initiating a formal appeal. The informal appeal process
includes a review by department management of the HPA or denial and often resolves issues faster and with less legal
complexity than the formal appeal process. If the informal appeal process does not resolve your concerns, you may
advance your appeal to the formal process. You may contact the HPA Appeals Coordinator at(360) 902-2534 for more
information.
A. INFORMAL APPEALS:WAC 220-660-460 is the rule describing how to request an informal appeal of WDFW actions
taken under Chapter 77.55 RCW. Please refer to that rule for complete informal appeal procedures. The following
information summarizes that rule.
A person who is aggrieved by the issuance, denial, conditioning, or modification of an HPA may request an informal
appeal of that action. You must send your request to WDFW by mail to the HPA Appeals Coordinator, Department of
Fish and Wildlife, Habitat Program, PO Box 43234, Olympia, Washington 98504-3234; e-mail to
HPAapplications@dfw.wa.gov;fax to (360) 902-2946;or hand-delivery to the Natural Resources Building, 1111
Washington St SE, Habitat Program, Fifth floor. WDFW must receive your request within 30 days from the date you
receive notice of the decision. If you agree, and you applied for the HPA, resolution of the appeal may be facilitated
through an informal conference with the WDFW employee responsible for the decision and a supervisor. If a resolution
is not reached through the informal conference, or you are not the person who applied for the HPA, the HPA Appeals
Coordinator or designee may conduct an informal hearing or review and recommend a decision to the Director or
designee. If you are not satisfied with the results of the informal appeal, you may file a request for a formal appeal.
B. FORMAL APPEALS: WAC 220-660-470 is the rule describing how to request a formal appeal of WDFW actions
taken under Chapter 77.55 RCW. Please refer to that rule for complete formal appeal procedures. The following
