Wet Season Construction. Construction activities are not restricted to particular seasons. However, the Certificate Holder shall attempt to sequence construction activities in order to minimize temporary earth disturbances during the wet season where practical. In particular, the Certificate Holder shall avoid earth-disturbing activities that result in distinct areas of temporary habitat disturbance in areas when soils are saturated (which commonly occurs from mid-November through April) when possible. If such activities are to take place during periods of soil saturation, the Certificate Holder shall consult with WDFW to develop a specific plan incorporating strategies and best management practices to minimize the environmental impacts of the activities and additional restoration measures to ensure successful restoration of the disturbed habitat.
