Lyle & Sue: Wildlands just informed us that ... I just wanted to give you a heads up, that we are sold out of wetland and stream credits at this time. We are anticipating wetland/stream releases in February/March but are contracted through DOT for those credits. If there is any change regarding those releases or with DOT contract, I will be sure to let you know. So, please remove the attached Wildlands SOAs from the mitigation providers included in the application. For the time being, please assume that the associated credits will be obtained from NCDMS if other credits are not available as we get closer to the permit issuance. We intend to reach back out to all private mitigation banks prior to permit issuance to confirm their available credits.
