Dear Mr. Routson:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Oversight and Express Review Permitting Unit has reviewed
the 2008 as-built, deed restrictions, and vegetation monitoring report for the above-referenced project.
Based on the report, it appears that the mitigation required in Condition 6 of the 401 Certification dated
January 10, 2006 has been implemented. We support the replacement of hurricane-damaged trees in the
mitigation wetlands, and look forward to seeing both vegetation and hydrology monitoring results in
next year's report.
If you have any questions related to our comments or this mitigation project, please feel free to contact
Tammy Hill at [phone] or [e-mail].
Sinrncerely, j
