On Jan. 21, The Gazette published an article, "County Council members criticize ICC," regarding the Intercounty Connector's (ICC) environmental projects. I am responding to clarify and correct several issues....
The good news is that more than 20 acres of wetlands and forests, and approximately one mile of streams, were saved through refinements in the ICC's design and innovative construction techniques, decreasing mitigation requirements. While some Prince George's County environmental projects are no longer required as compensatory mitigation, they will now be done as environmental stewardship projects. Additionally, the original "wish list" has been refined to assess technical feasibility. Where not practical, the environmental team identified replacements within the watersheds.
