Letter

Dear Mr. McGill:

During its meeting of 20 November, the Commission reviewed and gave final approval to the new landscape design in a courtyard of the Ariel Rios Building, provided the proposed pavilions are eliminated from the design. This revision will allow for a greater flexibility of uses and focuses the education portion of the design on water retention and reuse. In addition, the use of pavers should be considered for the pathways to create a more intimate garden experience.

The Commission looks forward to the review of future projects for the Environmental Protection Agency. As always, the staff is available should you require assistance.

Sincerely,

Charles Secretary

Michael McGill
