Project Name: 810 Hindley LN Distribution Gas Service Replacement
Project Description: This is compliance related work to replace an existing pipe that is in poor condition. The
project consists of the replacement of an existing natural gas distribution service that services
residents in Edmonds. Approximately 111 feet of existing 1/2" gas pipe that services both 810
and 820 Hindley Ln will be replaced with new 1 1/8" gas pipe, extending south from the tie-in
on Hindley Lane. The pipe will cross under Hindley Creek. The crossing will be constructed via
horizontal directional drill with no work pits within 6' of the creek. The replacement line will be
bored a minimum of 3' under the creek.
PROVISIONS

Department of Fish and Wildlife may require additional measures to mitigate impacts.
STAGING, JOB SITE ACCESS, AND EQUIPMENT
8. 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.
9. Use existing roadways or travel paths.
10. Design and locate new temporary access roads to prevent erosion and sediment delivery to waters of the state.
11. Clearly mark boundaries to establish the limit of work associated with site access and construction.
12. Limit the removal of native vegetation to the minimum amount needed to construct the project.
13. 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.
14. Station and operate equipment used for this project landward of the ordinary high water line.
15. If wet or muddy conditions exist, in or near a riparian zone or wetland area, use equipment that reduces ground
pressure.

petroleum products, hydraulic fluid, fresh cement, sediments, sediment -laden water, chemicals, or any other toxic or
harmful materials from entering waters of the state.
25. Do not stockpile construction material waterward of the ordinary high water line.
26. Use only clean, suitable material as fill material (no trash, debris, car bodies, tires, asphalt, concrete, etc.).
UTILITY CROSSING
27. Align the gas line conduit as perpendicular as possible to the watercourse.
28. Avoid crossing at meander bends, braided streams, alluvial fans, active flood plains, or any other area that is
inherently unstable and may lead to eroding and scouring the stream bed.
29. Avoid areas of groundwater upwelling or locations within one hundred feet upstream of documented fish spawning
areas.
30. Install the conduit well below scour depth of the watercourse to prevent natural scouring of the stream bed from
exposing the pipeline or cable.
DEMOBILIZATION AND CLEANUP
31. Do not relocate removed or replaced structures within waters of the state. Remove and dispose of these structures
in an upland area above the limits of anticipated floodwater.
32. Before the end of the in -water work period specified in the timing limitations provision, abandon temporary roads in
wet or flood -prone areas.

crossings and restore the bed and banks to preproject condition.
34. Upon completion of the project, restore the disturbed bed, banks, and riparian zone to preproject condition to the
extent possible.
35. Completely remove any temporary fill before the end of the in -water timing window if the fill material could erode
and deliver sediment -laden water into waters of the state.
36. 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.
37. Stabilize the bed with clean material sized to match undisturbed sediments.
38. Seed areas disturbed by construction activities with a native seed mix suitable for the site that has at least one
quick -establishing plant species.
39. 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.
40. 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.
41. 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, 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
information summarizes that rule.
