5. 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.
STAGING, JOB SITE ACCESS AND EQUIPMENT
6. 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.
7. Clearly mark boundaries to establish the limit of work associated with site access and construction.
8. Retain all natural habitat features on the beach larger than twelve inches in diameter including trees, stumps, logs,
and large rocks. These natural habitat features may be moved during construction but they must be placed near the
preproject location before leaving the job site.
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 with minimal propulsion power and in adequate water depth to prevent impacts from grounding
and propeller wash to seagrass, kelp, and forage fish spawning beds.
12. Operate vessels during tidal elevations that are adequate to prevent grounding of the barge.
13. Do not deploy anchors or spuds in seagrass or kelp.
14. Maintain anchor cable tension, set and retrieve anchors vertically, and prevent mooring cables from dragging to
avoid impacts to seagrass and kelp.
15. Relocate vessels moored over seagrass between March 21 and September 21 every 4th day to minimize shading
of seagrass.
CONSTRUCTION-RELATED SEDIMENT, EROSION AND POLLUTION CONTAINMENT
16. Prevent contaminants from the project, such as petroleum products, hydraulic fluid, fresh concrete, sediments,
sediment-laden water,chemicals, or any other toxic or harmful materials,from entering or leaching into waters of the
state.
17. Use tarps or other methods to prevent treated wood, sawdust,trimmings, drill shavings and other debris from
contacting the bed or waters of the state.
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
18. Do not use wood treated with oil-type preservative(creosote, pentachlorophenol)in any hydraulic project.Wood
treated with waterborne preservative chemicals (ACZA,ACQ)may be used if the Western Wood Preservers Institute
has approved the waterborne chemical for use in the aquatic environment. The manufacturer must follow the Western
Wood Preservers Institute guidelines and the best management practices to minimize the preservative migrating from
treated wood into aquatic environments. To minimize leaching,wood treated with a preservative by someone other

than a manufacturer must follow the field treating guidelines.These guidelines and best management practices are
available at www.wwpinstitute.org.
PIER, RAMP AND FLOAT
19. The pier, ramp, and float structure must not exceed a total length of 115'feet.
20. The structure must not exceed the following widths: the 50'long pier, 6;the 35' long ramp,4 feet; and the two
sections of the"L"shaped float must not exceed 30'x 8'and 8'x 14'as per the plans.
21. The structure must include functional grating. The grating material's open area must be at least sixty percent.
a. Grating installed parallel to the length of the pier must extend the length of the pier and cover at least thirty
percent of the deck area.
b. The ramp must have one hundred percent of the entire deck surface covered in functional grating.
c. A float between six and eight feet wide must have at least fifty 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.
22. The bottom of the float must be at least one foot above the substrate so that the structure will not rest on the
bottom.
23. 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.
24. Do not construct skirting, including batter fencing, around piers, docks or floats.
25. Use low-intensity lights that are located and shielded to prevent light from reaching the water surface.
26. 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.
PILE REMOVAL, DRIVING
27. As specified in the approved plans, the 10 pilings must be 8"and 10"diameter steel pilings.
28. 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.
29. Attach rubbing strips made of ultra high molecular weight(UHMW)type plastic, or high density polyethylene
(HDPE)type plastic to the replacement fender system. Do not use rubber tires for the fender system.
30. Fit all pilings with devices to prevent perching by fish-eating birds.
31. 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.
32. To avoid attracting fish to artificial light at night, limit impact pile driving to daylight hours whenever feasible.
33. Use appropriate sound attenuation when driving or proofing steel piling with an impact hammer.
a. 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.
b. For driving or proofing steel piling greater than 10 inches in diameter, install a bubble curtain around the pile
during piling impact driving operations that distributes air bubbles around 100%of the perimeter of the piling over the
full depth of the water column.

Application ID: 3334
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, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, Washington 98501-1091; 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 will conduct an informal hearing 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
information summarizes that rule.
A person who is aggrieved by the issuance, denial, conditioning, or modification of an HPA may request a formal appeal
of that action. You must send your request for a formal appeal to the clerk of the Pollution Control Hearings Boards and
serve a copy on WDFW within 30 days from the date you receive notice of the decision. You may serve WDFW by mail
to the HPA Appeals Coordinator, Department of Fish and Wildlife, Habitat Program, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia,
Washington 98501-1091; 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. The time period for requesting a formal
appeal is suspended during consideration of a timely informal appeal. If there has been an informal appeal, you may
request a formal appeal within 30 days from the date you receive the Director's or designee's written decision in
response to the informal appeal.
C. FAILURE TO APPEAL WITHIN THE REQUIRED TIME PERIODS: If there is no timely request for an appeal,the
WDFW action shall be final and unappealable.
