Dear Ms. Manuele:
Re: Action ID No. 200121095
This correspondence is in reference to the proposed Deep Creek Wetland
Mitigation Bank, located in Yadkin County, being developed by American. Wetlands of
Manassas, Virginia. In response to your request that one individual be designated to
represent the Division on the Mitigation Bank Review Team, I am naming Mr. Jeff Jurek
as that representative.
Please note that other members of the Division may attend meetings of the MBRT,
and participate in discussions. However, the Division's position on each issue will be
coordinated by Mr. Jurek, and delivered after consultation with other members of the
Division.
The Division is committed to fostering an environment that is conducive to the
establishment of high quality private mitigation banks. Please let me know if the Division
can be of assistance in implementing a thorough and timely review process.
Sincerely,
Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D.
