site grading. Specifically, the proposed wetland creation area will be graded
down to the surrounding natural wetland grade. Therefore, prior to demobilizing
equipment from the site and prior to planting, the permittee shall schedule an
inspection by District Environmental Resource Compliance staff to ensure that
appropriate elevations and slopes have been achieved.
Prior to the commencement of construction, the permittee shall conduct a pre-
construction meeting with field representatives, contractors and District staff.
The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss construction methods and sequencing,
particularly regarding the type and location of turbidity and erosion controls to
be implemented during construction and the mobilization and staging of contractor
equipment or to discuss the type and location of turbidity and erosion controls to
be implemented during construction with the permittee and contractors. Any
necessary wetland/buffer protection methods will be also be discussed.
Endangered species, threatened species and/or species of special concern have been
observed onsite and/or the project contains suitable habitat for these species. It
shall be the permittee's responsibility to coordinate with the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission and/or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for
appropriate guidance, recommendations and/or necessary permits to avoid impacts to
listed species.
A maintenance program shall be implemented in accordance with Exhibit No. 20 for
all preserved wetlands and uplands on a regular basis to ensure the integrity and
viability of those areas as permitted. Maintenance shall be conducted in
perpetuity to ensure that the conservation area is maintained free from Category 1
exotic vegetation (as defined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council at the time
of permit issuance) immediately following a maintenance activity. Coverage of
exotic and nuisance plant species shall not exceed 5% of total cover between
maintenance activities. In addition, the permittee shall manage the conservation
areas such that exotic/nuisance plant species do not dominate any one section of
those areas.
A mitigation program for Indigo Lakes shall be implemented in accordance with
Exhibit No. 16-20 and 23. The permittee shall create 0.09 acres of forested
freshwater wetlands, enhance 9.13 acres of pine/cypress and wetland shrub wetlands
and preserve 10.15 acres of wetlands/upland compensation areas.
Prior to any construction activities, the permittee shall stake and rope the
wetlands and associated upland.~ buffer zones, within the proposed phase
construction area(s). The staking and roping shall be subject to the approval of
the District Environmental Resource Compliance staff. The permittee shall modify
the staking and roping if the District staff determines it is insufficient.
Staking and roping shall remain in place until all adjacent construction
activities are complete.
Activities associated with the implementation of the mitigation, monitoring and
maintenance plan(s) shall be completed in accordance with the work schedule
attached as Exhibit No. 20B. Any deviation from these time frames will require

from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank ledger as mitigation for this impact.
A monitoring program shall be implemented in accordance with Exhibit No. 16-20A.
The monitoring program shall extend for a period of 5 years with annual reports
submitted to District staff. At the end of the first monitoring period the
mitigation area shall contain an 80% survival of planted vegetation. The 80%
survival rate shall be maintained throughout the remainder of the monitoring
program, with replanting as necessary. If native wetland, transitional and upland
species do not achieve an 80% coverage within the initial two years of the
monitoring program, native species shall be planted in accordance with the
maintenance program. At the end of the 5 year monitoring program the entire
mitigation area shall contain an 80% survival of planted vegetation and an 80%
coverage of desirable obligate and facultative wetland species.
No later than March 01, 2002 and prior to commencement of construction resulting
in wetland impacts, the permittee, shall submit two certified copies of the
recorded conservation easement for the mitigation area and associated buffers and
a GIS disk of the recorded easement area formatted to the District's Environmental
Resource Compliance Division in the service area office where the application was
submitted. The recorded easement shall be in substantial conformance with
Exhibits 24A-24E. Any proposed modifications to the approved form must receive
prior written consent from the District. The easement must be free of encumbrances
or interests in the easement, which the District determines, are contrary to the
intent of the easement. In the event it is later determined that there are
encumbrances or interests in the easement which the District determines are
contrary to the intent of the easement, the permittee shall be required to provide
release or subordination of such encumbrances or interests.
The permittee shall be responsible for the successful completion of the mitigation
work, including the monitoring and maintenance of the mitigation areas for the
duration of the plan. The mitigation area shall not be turned over to the
operation entity until the mitigation work is accomplished as permitted and
District Environmental Resource Compliance staff has concurred.
The District reserves the right to require remedial measures to be taken by the
permittee if monitoring or other information demonstrates that adverse impacts to
onsite or offsite wetlands, upland conservation areas or buffers, or other surface
waters have occurred due to project related activities.
