Permitting

Usually, shoreline (conditional, exempt, etc) from local jurisdiction. Depending on the location a permit may be required from DNR, USACE and/or WDFW. Recommend contact the local jurisdiction (planning department) first - they should be able to assist with the other permits.

The Gold and Fish Pamphlet serves as the permit for freshwater mineral prospecting and mining activities as described in it. We recommend contacting the local WDFW regional office for an updated copy of the pamphlet.

If you want to conduct prospecting activities at different times, locations or with different equipment allowed in the pamphlet, you may need to apply for a HPA . We recommend contacting your Habitat Biologist for assistance.

To operate an auto repair shop, you may be required to obtain permits from:
□ Department of Ecology, Hazardous Waste & Toxic Reduction (HWTR) program: we recommend reviewing the Shop Guide for Dangerous Waste Management from your local clean air agency .
□ Your local jurisdiction: we recommend contacting the local jurisdiction (city / county ) planning department to verify the location of your business is zoned for your type of business.
