Request for all necessary jurisdictional permits will be submitted in advance and all approvals will be in hand prior to start. The proposed activity is consistent with the requirements of the Virgin Islands Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program to the maximum extent practicable. Attached to this cover letter is a detailed description of the project including engineered plans, maps and reports that illustrate the project’s compliance with CZM mandates. Should have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, Derek Gabriel Commissioner
