Description This application, guidance, and supporting document are for use when applying to change or transfer an existing water right.

The application form is available in PDF or Word.

The guidance document is intended for use in completing the application, and the application supporting document provides example tables, text, and maps. The examples are not from a single project or project type, so you should not expect your responses to mirror the examples. Instead your documents should reflect the individual aspects unique to your project, but provide the level of detail shown in the examples. Providing complete and thorough responses in your application will enable us to complete a more timely review.
REQUEST A COPY The mission of the Department of Ecology is to protect, preserve, and enhance Washington’s environment. To help us meet that goal, please consider the environment before you print or request a copy.

ADA Accessibility
The Department of Ecology is committed to providing people with disabilities access to information and services by meeting or exceeding the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and Washington State Policy #188.
