Decisions on requests to extend the time of an initial development schedule of a water right will be posted here within 10 working days of signature by the section manager. These Extension Letters are Ecology’s final decision on extension requests and may be appealed to the Pollution Control Hearing Board.
The date of posting of a final Report of Examination to the Internet site does not begin the statutory 30-day appeal period. Appeals of final decisions to the Pollution Control Hearings Board (PCHB) must be filed in accordance with the provisions of 43.21B.
The statutory 30-day appeal period begins on the date that the letter is mailed.
The PCHB appeal procedures can be found at:
