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 7. Establish staging areas (used for equipment storage, vehicle storage, fueling, servicing, and hazardous material storage) in a location and manner that will prevent contaminants such as petroleum products, hydraulic fluid, fresh concrete, sediments, sediment-laden water, chemicals, or any other toxic or harmful materials from entering waters of the state. 8. Clearly mark boundaries to establish the limit of work associated with site access and construction. 9. Retain all natural habitat features on the bed or banks including large woody material and boulders. You may move these natural habitat features during construction but you must place them near the preproject location before leaving the job site. 10. Check equipment daily for leaks and complete any required repairs in an upland location before using the equipment in or near the water. 11. Use environmentally acceptable lubricants composed of biodegradable base oils such as vegetable oils, synthetic esters, and polyalkylene glycols in equipment operated in or near the water. CONSTRUCTION-RELATED SEDIMENT, EROSION AND POLLUTION CONTAINMENT 12. Work in the dry watercourse (when no natural flow is occurring in the channel, or when flow is diverted around the job site). 13. Protect all disturbed areas from erosion. Maintain erosion and sediment control until all work and cleanup of the job site is complete. 14. All erosion control materials that will remain onsite must be composed of 100% biodegradable materials. 15. Straw used for erosion and sediment control, must be certified free of noxious weeds and their seeds. 16. Stop all hydraulic project activities except those needed to control erosion and siltation, if flow conditions arise that will result in erosion or siltation of waters of the state. 17. Prevent project contaminants, 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. 18. Route construction water (wastewater) from the project to an upland area above the limits of anticipated floodwater. Remove fine sediment and other contaminants before discharging the construction water to waters of the state. 19. Deposit waste material from the project, such as construction debris, silt, excess dirt, or overburden, in an upland area above the limits of anticipated floodwater unless the material is approved by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for reuse in the project. 20. Deposit all trash from the project at an appropriate upland disposal location. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS 21. Store all construction and deconstruction material in a location and manner that will prevent contaminants such as Page 2 of 6 HYDRAULIC PROJECT APPROVAL Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife PO Box 43234 Olympia, WA 98504-3234 (360) 902-2200 Permit Number: 2016-4-744+01 FPA/Public Notice Number: N/A Application ID: 5675 Project End Date: September 18, 2021 Issued Date: September 19, 2016 LOCATION #1:Site Name: Vuecret I&II Smithers Ave S. / S 47th ST, 4903 Main Ave S., Renton, WA 98055 WORK START:September 19, 2016 WORK END:September 18, 2021 WRIA Waterbody:Tributary to: 09 - Duwamish - Green Spring Brook Creek Black River 1/4 SEC:Section:Township:Range:Latitude:Longitude:County: SE 1/4 32 23 N 05 E 47.435462 -122.206337 King Location #1 Driving Directions petroleum products, hydraulic fluid, fresh cement, sediments, sediment-laden water, chemicals, or any other toxic or harmful materials from entering waters of the state. 22. Do not stockpile construction material waterward of the ordinary high water line. 23. Use only clean, suitable material as fill material (no trash, debris, car bodies, tires, asphalt, concrete, etc.). CULVERT 24. Establish the culvert invert elevation with reference point(s) or benchmark(s) created before to starting work on this project. Clearly mark and preserve the reference point(s) for post-project compliance. Before backfilling, confirm the invert elevation, as stated on the plans, relative to the reference points with at least a construction-grade leveling device (such as an optical auto-level or laser level). 25. The length of the culvert must not exceed 80 feet. 26. Bury the footings of a bottomless culvert as shown in the approved plans to ensure they will not become exposed by scour within the culvert. 27. Protect structural fill associated with the culvert installation from erosion to the 100-year peak flow. DEMOBILIZATION AND CLEANUP 28. To minimize sediment delivery to the stream or stream channel, do not return in-stream flows to the work area until all in-channel work is completed and the bed and banks are stabilized. 29. Seed areas disturbed by construction activities with a native seed mix suitable for the site that has at least one quick-establishing plant species. 30. Complete replanting of riparian vegetation during the first dormant season (late fall through the end of February) after project completion per the approved plan. Maintain plantings for at least three years to ensure at least eighty percent of each species survives. Failure to achieve the eighty percent survival in year three will require you to submit a plan with follow-up measures to achieve requirements or reasons to modify requirements. 31. Upon completion of the project, remove all materials or equipment from the site and dispose of all excess spoils and waste materials in an upland area above the limits of anticipated floodwater. 32. Return water flow slowly to the in-water work area to prevent the downstream release of sediment laden water. If necessary, install silt fencing above the bypass outlet to capture sediment during re-watering of the channel. 33. Remove temporary erosion and sediment control methods after job site is stabilized or within three months of project completion, whichever is sooner.

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, 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.
