From the transcript
The experiences of public and private entities within the Section 7 consultation process in West Virginia are prime examples of why ESA reform is so important. Several years ago, my staff began holding monthly calls with the services staff at the Elkins field office because of delays with the consultation processes for critical projects. As a result of these calls, progress has been made, and many of these projects have started moving forward. But now, under your leadership, Director Nesvik, there are significantly fewer projects facing delays, and that in turn needs to be discussed on these calls. I'm appreciative of all of you and your team has done to facilitate that outcome.
