Enclosed for your review is a revised PCN, photographs of the wetland impact areas, descriptions of the wetlands proposed for impacts, and a proposed mitigation summary As soon as RIBITS is available I will determine whether the proposed mitigation credits will be purchased for a private bank or whether an application to EEP will be necessary. Please correspond if we need to provide any additional assistance or information necessary to assist you with your review and issuance of the requested permit approval. Please feel free to call with any questions or comments.
