Greetings,
As you are aware, NCDOT is in the process of sending the annual mitigation
monitoring reports out to the regulatory and resource agencies. Instead of
bringing our comments to a meeting with NCDOT as we have done in the past, we
have elected to provide our written comments to NCDOT for their review prior to
having any sort of meeting.. If any outstanding issues remain after NCDOT has
had an opportunity to review our comments, we would plan to meet at the
Transportation Building in Raleigh on March 8, 2001.
As there is a time factor involved, we would like to provide our comments back
to NCDOT within 30 days of the receipt of the reports. To that end, a response
via e-mail is perfectly acceptable.. Please provide your comments on these
reports to the appropriate NCDOT Project Manager with a copy to me in
Wilmington.
If you have any questions regarding this message, I may be reached at
910-251-4725. Point of Contact at NCDOT is Randy Griffin.
Thanks,
Scott McLendon
