<br /> Through the combination of interests, experience and education, Mike has developed a strong reputation for
<br /> solid natural resource research, innovative environmental design solutions, thorough construction inspection
<br /> and insightful post-construction monitoring. He has shown an ability to deliver complex projects within the
<br /> estimated timeframe, and has developed strong working relationships with a wide variety of regulatory and
<br />
<br /> resource agency staff members. Additionally, Mike also provides an enthusiastic and creative approach to
<br /> problem-solving, based upon knowledge of the regulations and regulatory processes, integrated with the
<br /> needs of the client and optimum stewardship of the resource.

<br /> successfully received both State and Federal concurrence for a[I of his delineation projects. Mike's
<br />
<br /> compensatory mitigation designs have often integrated wetland needs with other resource needs, such as
<br />
<br /> threatened and endangered plant population conservation zones and fish habitat mitigation. Mike has
<br />
<br /> participated in many major projects of local and statewide importance, such as providing delineation
<br />
<br /> services for 170 acres in the West Eugene Wetland Program area; providing delineation and compensatory
<br /> design services for widening of I S miles of Interstate 5 for the Oregon Department of Transportation;
<br />
<br /> providing compensatory design services for realignment of 7 miles of State Highway 20, which integrated
<br />
<br /> coastal salmon habitat needs with wetland mitigation requirements; and providing compensatory design and
<br />
<br /> construction monitoring services fora 46 acre wetland mitigation bank site.
<br /> In addition, Mike has co-authored the Guide to Wetland Issues for Transportation Designers for the
<br />
<br /> American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. This publication was issued in
<br /> September 1996 and has been distributed nationally, receiving very strong praise from a varied audience.
<br /> While at ODOT, he also served on the Department of State Lands Technical Advisory Committee, currently
<br />
<br /> developing a manual for implementing the recently authorized Administrative Rules jor Wetland Mitigation
<br />
<br /> Banking.
