<br /> Through the combination of interests, education and experience, Mike has developed a strong reputation for solid
<br /> natural resource research, innovative environmental design solutions, thorough construction inspection and insightful post-
<br /> constructionmonitoring. He has demonstrated the ability to deliver complex projects within the estimated timeframe, and has
<br /> developed strong working relationships with a wide variety of regulatory and resource agency staff members. Additionally, Mike
<br /> also provides an enthusiastic and creative approach to problem-solving, based upon knowledge of the regulations and regulatory
<br /> processes, integrated with the needs of the client and responsible stewazdship of the resource.
<br /> Mike consistently and successfully receives both State and Federal concurrence for his delineation projects. Mike's
<br /> compensatory mitigation designs have often integrated wetland needs with other resource needs, such as threatened and
<br /> endangered plant population conservation zones and fish habitat mitigation. Mike has participated in many major projects of
<br /> local'and statewide importance, such as providing delineation services for over 600 acres in the West Eugene area; providing
<br /> delineation, rare plant survey and permitting services for expansion of the second largest airport in the state; providing
<br /> delineation and compensatory design services for widening of 15 miles of Interstate 5 for the Oregon Department of
<br /> Transportation; providing compensatory design services for realignment of 7 miles of State Highway 20, which integrated coastal
<br /> salmon habitat needs with wetland mitigation requirements; and providing compensatory design and construction monitoring
<br /> services fora 46 acre wetland mitigation bank site. A mitigation site for which Mike provided design guidance has recently been
<br /> identified as the richest resource in the Willamette Valley for dragonfly and damselfly observations.
<br /> In addition, Mike has co-authored the Guide to Wetland Issues for Transportation Designers for the American
<br /> Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. This publication was issued in September 1996 and has been
<br /> distributed nationally, receiving very strong praise from a varied audience. Mike is currently working on a private wetland
<br /> mitigation development at his 47 acre farm in the Coyote Creek basin southwest of Eugene and has recently celebrated 4 years of
<br />
<br /> his own business enterprise, Coyote Creek Environmental Services, Inc.
