Permit application

Shoreline permit applications must define the proposal and the site with as much detail as possible. Members of the public and Ecology staff (and at other resource agencies) may not be familiar with a site or talked with the applicant and, therefore, will be relying solely on the information contained in the permit. The permit application is a public document – applications are on file for public scrutiny.

• Requirements for complete permit application are found in WAC 173-27-180.
• The
Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application (JARPA) combines application requirements for several different permits for work in, on and around waters of the state.
• Sample site plans from JARPA
