Ms. Crandall, et al, RE: 60 day Notice of Intent to File Petition for Enforcement of Agency Action. Please take notice that pursuant to the Florida Administrative Procedures Act, Section 120.69, Florida Statutes, Robert (Bob) Krasowski and Jan M. Krasowski, intend to file a petition for enforcement of the Florida Department Of Environmental Protection's final agency action described below. The Department, in concert with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, is the regulatory agency of the State of Florida having the power and duty to enforce compliance with the permits it issues for coastal zone management, beach nourishment projects. MATTER: Failure of Permittee, Collier County, to comply with the conditions of Permit Modification File # 0222355 - 012 -JN. On or about October 14, 2013, Collier County Coastal Zone Management Department commenced with the nourishment of Vanderbilt Beach project pursuant to FDEP permit # 0222355 - 012 -JN. From October 14 to 26, 2013, the County failed to comply with the following permit conditions: 1) Restore the beach to natural conditions after each day's work prior to 9PM. Page 21, paragraph 2, numbered 24 last sentence, "All excavations and temporary alterations of the beach topography shall be filled or leveled to the natural beach profile prior to 9 PM each day unless otherwise authorized." and, 2) Avoid driving too close to remaining marine turtle nests; (to the extent the requirement to adhere to FWCC Best Management Practices for Operating Vehicles on the Beach) (http: / /myfwc.com /conservation /you- conserve /wildlife /beach - driving/) applies to marine sea turtles and this permit, the permitee failed to comply with the regulation. Regarding issue 1): During the course of the first nine (9) days of work, beginning on October 14, 2013 and ending on October 27, 2013, while turtle nest remained unhatched on the beach, the Permittee, Collier County, regularly and consistently left the beach area, after the day's work, without filling or leveling the beach to the natural beach profile as required by the permit. This behavior was observed and witnessed by the Krasowskis who digitally video recorded and documented the condition of the beach in the evenings after daily project work was completed (video links included below) in addition to visits by the Krasowskis in the mornings. Furthermore, having full knowledge of the permit condition requirements, the Krasowskis took it upon themselves to rake the beach in order to eliminate the ruts and to provide a path in the event the turtle nests would hatch. Otherwise, an illegal take of an endangered species would have occurred due to the Permitee's failure to comply with the permit conditions Video links. http:/.Iyoutu.be /Yr4Bj -NXXaM http: / /youtu.be /gSxz- FOcAt8 http: / /youtu.be /aZxixV. 91 100 http: /fyoutu.be /uld m30DNo Regarding issue 2): During the course of the first nine (9) days of work, beginning on October 14, 2013 and ending on October 27, 2013, while turtle nest remained unhatched on the beach, the Permittee, Collier County, regularly and consistently operated vehicles on the beach, including ATVs and large beach dump trucks, passing directly in front of a remaining turtle nest (video included). This was done instead of staying closer to the water's edge as directed by the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission and cited in the Permit on Page 23, first full paragraph, (i) http://myfwc.com /conservation /you- conserve /wildlife /beach - driving/ http:./.Iyoutu.be./aZxixVI9100 These permit conditions are in place to protect the threatened and endangered species that inhabit and utilize Vanderbilt Beach and are required by law to be complied with as to not violate the Endangered Species Act. LOCATION: Vanderbilt Beach Section of Collier County Beach. More specifically, in the area approximately less than one thousand feet north of the Vanderbilt Beach Road public beach access point, approximately one hundred feet south of the Turtle Club restaurant located adjacent to the beach. In the ccv proximity of Collier County marine turtle nest #151. RESOLUTION: We, Robert (Bob) and Jan M. Krasowski respectfully request that FDEP take the following actions: 1) initiate enforcement action to remedy the violations of the permit conditions cited herein with a written finding of violation; 2) require any and all restoration and corrective actions necessary to fully correct the permit violations; 3) impose those penalties and fines proscribed by law for failure to comply with permit conditions; and 4) refuse to issue future permits for beach re- nourishment / nourishment activities to Collier County, their agents or assigns allowing any beach work during turtle nesting season for failure to provide reasonable assurance that permit conditions will be complied with and respected. Respectfully Robert (Bob) and Jan M Krasowski, minimushomines @aol.com 239 - 434 -0786 1086 Michigan Ave. Naples, Fl. 34103G
