§ 77.55.241 — Off-site mitigation.

Washington § 77.55.241

• Jurisdiction: Washington
• Title 77: FISH AND WILDLIFE
• Ch. 77.55: CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN STATE WATERS

Text

(1) The legislature finds that the construction of hydraulic projects may require mitigation for the protection of fish life, and that the mitigation may be most cost-effective and provide the most benefit to the fish resource if the mitigation is allowed to be applied in locations that are off-site of the hydraulic project location. The department may approve off-site mitigation plans that are submitted by permit applicants.

(2) If a permit applicant proposes off-site mitigation and the department does not approve the permit or conditions the permit in such a manner as to render off-site mitigation unpracticable, the project proponent may appeal the decision as provided in *RCW 77.55.021 (4).

*Reviser's note: RCW 77.55.021 was amended by 2012 1st sp.s. c 1 s 102, changing subsection (4) to subsection (8).
