The department may approve off-site mitigation plans that are submitted by permit applicants.(2) If a permit applicant proposes off-site mitigation and the department does not approve the permit or conditions the permit in such a manner as to render off-site mitigation unpracticable, the project proponent may appeal the decision as provided in *RCW 77.55.021(4).[ 2010 c 210 s 30; 2005 c 146 s 602; 1996 c 276 s 1.
