It is a violation of these standards for any person, without a written permit amendment issued by the Director, to: 1. Perform any work prior to the beginning date stated on the permit; 2. Perform any work after the expiration date stated on the permit; or 3. Deviate from the final form of any plans, specifications, and drawings accepted as supporting or auxiliary documents with the application for a permit. 301.4 Conduct of Work All stream zone alteration work shall be performed in a manner that minimizes damage, both temporary and permanent, to water quality and fish and wildlife habitat. The following limitations are in effect: Page 28 CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE UMATILLA INDIAN RESERVATION 1. During the period of in-water work, a project inspector shall monitor construction activities periodically to ensure that the following provisions are met. 2. Passage shall be provided for both adult and juvenile forms of all salmonid species throughout the construction period. 3. Alteration or disturbance of stream banks and existing riparian vegetation will be minimized. Where bank work is necessary, bank protection material shall be placed to maintain normal waterway configuration whenever possible. 4. During project design and construction, every effort will be made to minimize the amount of riprap used. Where riprap is necessary, only clean, nonerodible, upland angular rock of sufficient size for long-term armoring will be employed. Placement will be from above the bank line and not “end-dumped.” 5. The diversion or withdrawal of any water from natural streams and used for construction or for riparian plantings will comply with Tribal law regarding temporary water use and any other applicable regulation. 6. All construction or alteration work performed in the channel of any perennial or intermittent stream or reach of stream, shall conform to the instream work periods and related procedures specified in the Water Code. 7. Operation of equipment below the water surface in any actively flowing stream shall be minimized in duration and extent. Permits may include conditions: a) Restricting the types and duration of equipment operating in the flowing stream; b) Restricting the type and extent of alteration by the equipment; c) Requiring the temporary or permanent diversion of stream flow away from in-channel work; d) Requiring the installation of silt barriers and/or other structures to reduce stream turbidity; e) Requiring the in-channel deployment or the on-site availability of petroleum absorbent material for emergency cleanup of releases of petroleum based substances into the stream zone. 8. Any temporary crossing, bridge centering or shoring, cofferdams, or other inchannel structures that will be needed during the period of construction shall be designed for passage of any high flows that can reasonably be expected to occur during the construction period. Page 29 CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE UMATILLA INDIAN RESERVATION 9. All temporary structures and cofferdams shall be completely removed at the conclusion of construction, and the area shall be restored in accordance with the conditions and terms of the permit. 10. Riparian vegetation shall be unaltered except where its removal is absolutely necessary for completion of the work or alteration. 11. Any vegetation, debris, or other material removed during construction shall be disposed of at a location where it cannot re-enter the channel during high stream flows, and in accordance with any conditions or terms of the permit. 12. All new cut or fill slopes that will not be protected with some from of revetment shall be seeded with grass or other perennial plants to minimize erosion. 13. All fill material shall be placed and compacted in horizontal lifts. Areas to be filled shall be cleared of all vegetation, debris, and other materials that would be objectionable in the fill. 14. Alterations of the stream channel shall be performed in such a manner that the water depth in the low-flow channel is not decreased as a result of project work. 302. ALTERATION STANDARDS 302.1 Construction Supervision 1. The permittee shall allow the Director or his designee to enter upon the project site and perform inspections at any time. 2.

WATER QUALITY STANDARDS, BENEFICIAL USES, AND TREATMENT CRITERIA GENERAL PROVISIONS 401.1 Introduction 1. The Walla Walla, Cayuse and Umatilla Indians exercise inherent sovereignty which includes governing, regulating and managing our affairs, and protecting and using our natural resources. Knowing that without good quality flowing water that nothing will survive, we exercise our rights to protect the water quality of the Reservation. Acknowledging that water is the giver of life, food, and the spirit and upon recommendation of the Water Commission, the Board of Trustees adopts the water quality standards to provide a mechanism for managing and regulating the quality and uses of waters of the Reservation by establishing water quality goals for specific water bodies, and providing a legal basis for regulatory controls. The exercise of this governmental function is critical to the Tribes’ self-governing principles. 2. On August 5, 1981, the Board of Trustees approved and adopted the Interim Water Code. The purposes of the Interim Water Code include protecting the water resources of the Reservation from over appropriation, pollution, contamination or other acts injurious to the quantity or quality of waters of the Reservation. The Water Code was amended most recently on November 10, 2003. 3. These water quality standards are adopted pursuant to the Tribes’ inherent sovereign authority, the Treaty of 1855, and Sections 303 and 518 of the Federal Clean Water Act.
