*Denotes closure period to all consumptive

(3)
			 Instream flow hydrographs, as represented in the document entitled
			 "Kennedy-Goldsborough instream resources protection program, figs. 2-7, pgs.
			 26-28," shall be used for identification of instream flows on those days not
			 specifically identified in WAC
			 173-514-030(2).
(4) Future consumptive water right permits
			 issued hereafter for diversion of surface water in the Kennedy-Goldsborough
			 WRIA and perennial tributaries shall be expressly subject to instream flows
			 established in WAC
			 173-514-030(1) through
			 (3)    as measured at the appropriate gage,
			 preferably the nearest one downstream, except from those exempted uses
			 described in WAC
			 173-514-060(1) through
			 (3).
(5) Projects that would reduce the flow in a
			 portion of a stream's length (e.g.: Hydroelectric projects that bypass a
			 portion of a stream) will be considered consumptive only with respect to the
			 affected portion of the stream and will be subject to specific instream flow
			 requirements as specified by the department for the bypassed reach
			 notwithstanding WAC
			 173-514-030(1) through
			 (3)    and
			 173-514-040 if detailed,
			 project-specific instream flow studies for the bypassed reach, as may be
			 required, demonstrate that a different flow requirement is appropriate. The
			 department may require the project proponent to conduct such studies.
(6) If department investigations determine
			 that withdrawal of groundwater from the source aquifers would not interfere
			 significantly with stream flow during the period of stream closure or with
			 maintenance of minimum flows, then applications to appropriate public
			 groundwaters may be approved and permits or certificates issued.
