WSDOT works hard to ensure that the contractor does not violate permit conditions. WSDOT staff use the procedures and tasks below to protect the environment during construction.

Chapters 600, 610, 620, and 630 of the WSDOT Environmental Procedures Manual explain why we ensure compliance during construction.
