Any approved minor modification will require issuance of a letter <br /> documenting the approval. A minor modification to the required work timing means any change to the work start or end <br /> dates of the current work season to enable project or work phase completion. Minor modifications will be approved only <br /> if spawning or incubating fish are not present within the vicinity of the project. You may request subsequent minor <br /> modifications to the required work timing. A minor modification of the plans and specifications means any changes in the <br /> materials, characteristics or construction of your project that does not alter the project's impact to fish life or habitat and <br /> does not require a change in the provisions of the HPA to mitigate the impacts of the modification. Minor modifications <br /> do not require you to pay additional application fees or be issued a new HPA. If you originally applied for your HPA <br /> through the online Aquatic Protection Permitting System (APPS), you may request a minor modification through APPS. <br /> A link to APPS is at http://wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/hpa/. If you did not use APPS you must submit a written request that <br /> clearly indicates you are seeking a minor modification to an existing HPA. Written requests must include the name of the <br /> applicant, the name of the authorized agent if one is acting for the applicant, the APP ID number of the HPA, the date <br /> issued, the permitting biologist, the requested changes to the HPA, the reason for the requested change, the date of the <br /> request, and the requestor's signature. Send by mail to: Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, PO Box 43234, <br /> Olympia, Washington 98504-3234, or by email to HPAapplications@dfw.wa.gov. Do not include payment with your <br /> request. You should allow up to 45 days for the department to process your request. <br /> MAJOR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS HPA: You may request approval of major modifications to any aspect of your HPA. <br /> Any approved change other than a minor modification to your HPA will require issuance of a new HPA. If you paid an <br /> application fee for your original HPA you must pay an additional $150 for the major modification. If you did not pay an <br /> application fee for the original HPA, no fee is required for a change to it. If you originally applied for your HPA through <br /> the online Aquatic Protection Permitting System (APPS), you may request a major modification through APPS. A link to <br /> APPS is at http://wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/hpa/. If you did not use APPS you must submit a written request that clearly <br /> indicates you are requesting a major modification to an existing HPA. Written requests must include the name of the <br /> applicant, the name of the authorized agent if one is acting for the applicant, the APP ID number of the HPA, the date <br /> issued, the permitting biologist, the requested changes to the HPA, the reason for the requested change, the date of the <br /> request, payment if the original application was subject to an application fee, and the requestor's signature.

You should allow up <br /> to 45 days for the department to process your request. <br /> APPEALS INFORMATION , <br /> If you wish to appeal the issuance, denial, conditioning, or modification of a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA), <br /> Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) recommends that you first contact the department employee who <br /> issued or denied the HPA to discuss your concerns. Such a discussion may resolve your concerns without the need for <br /> further appeal action. If you proceed with an appeal, you may request an informal or formal appeal. WDFW encourages <br /> you to take advantage of the informal appeal process before initiating a formal appeal. The informal appeal process <br /> includes a review by department management of the HPA or denial and often resolves issues faster and with less legal <br /> complexity than the formal appeal process. If the informal appeal process does not resolve your concerns, you may <br /> advance your appeal to the formal process. You may contact the HPA Appeals Coordinator at (360) 902-2534 for more <br /> information. <br /> Page 4 of 5 , <br />
