Subject Property: Wetland Mitigation at Pitt-Greenville Airport
Re: Site visit for EPA Program Development Grant - Review of mitigation projects by DWQ
Dear Mr. Turcotte:
As part of a Wetland Program Development Grant from the US Environmental Protection Agency, the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Oversight and Express Review Permitting Unit is conducting a
statewide evaluation of compensatory stream and wetland mitigation success. Tammy Hill from this Unit
conducted a site visit at the above-referenced wetland mitigation projects on March 25, 2009. Our
comments are as follows:
The projects appeared to have been constructed according to the approved mitigation plan and to be
performing the expected ecological functions. The 401 Certification requirement for long-term protection
of the mitigation parcels was being met.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation with our evaluation and your continued stewardship of the
mitigation projects at Pitt-Greenville Airport. Please contact Tammy Hill or Eric Kulz at (919) 733-1786
if you have any questions regarding our comments or the mitigation review project.
Sincerely,
Or--4
