The completed PD /ESF becomes part of the "federal administrative record" in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its implementing regulations. The PD portion of the form captures administrative and descriptive details enabling the NPS to understand the proposal. The ESF portion is designed for States and /or project sponsors to use while the LWCF proposal is under development. Upon completion, the ESF will indicate the resources that could be impacted by the proposal enabling States and /or project sponsors to more accurately follow an appropriate pathway for NEPA analysis; 1) a recommendation for a Categorical Exclusion (CE), 2) production of an Environmental Assessment (EA), or 3) production of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The ESF should also be used to document any previously conducted yet still viable environmental analysis if used for this federal proposal. The completed PD /ESF must be submitted as part of the State's LWCF proposal to NPS. Except for the proposals listed below, the PD/ESF must be completed, including the appropriate NEPA document, signed by the State, and submitted with each new federal application for LWCF assistance and amendments for: scope changes that alter or add facilities and /or acres; conversions; public facility exceptions; sheltering outdoor facilities; and changing the original intended use of an area from that which was approved in an earlier LWCF agreement. Consult the LWCF Program Manual (www.nps.gov/lwcf) for detailed guidance for your type of proposal and on how to comply with NEPA. For the following types of proposals only this Cover Page is required because these types of proposals are administrative in nature and are categorically excluded from further NEPA environmental analysis.

For Combination Projects: Follow Step 2C as appropriate. B. Section 6(f)(3) Conversion Proposal Prior to developing your Section 6(f)(3) conversion proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual and 36 CFR 69.3 for complete guidance on conversions.. Local sponsors must consult early with the State LWCF manager FPS -A047 28 ibE5 when a conversion is under consideration or has been discovered. States must consult with their NPS -LWCF manager as early as possible in the conversion process for guidance and to sort out and discuss details of the conversion proposal to avoid mid- course corrections and unnecessary delays. A critical first step is for the State and NPS to agree on the size of the Section 6(f) park land impacted by any non - recreation, non- public use, 10/01/08 especially prior to any appraisal activity. Any previous LWCF project agreements and actions must be identified and understood to determine the actual Section 6(f) boundary. The Section 6(0(3) conversion proposal including the required NEPA environmental review documents (CE recommendation or an EA document) must focus on the loss, of public outdoor recreation park land and recreational usefulness, and its replacement per 36 CFR 59, and not the activities precipitating the conversion or benefits thereof, such as the impacts of constructing a new school to relieve overcrowding or constructing a hotelfrestaurant facility to stimulate the local economy. Rather, the environmental review must 1) focus on "resource impacts" as indicated on the ESF (Step 6), including the loss of public park land and recreation opportunities (ESF A -15), and 2) the impacts of creating new replacement park land and replacement recreation opportunities. A separate ESF must be generated for the converted park area and each replacement site. Section 6(f)(3) conversions always have more than minor impacts to outdoor recreation (ESF A -15) as a result of loss of parkland requiring an EA, except for 'small' conversions as defined in the LWCF Manual Chapter 8. For NPS review and decision, the following elements are required to be included in the State's completed conversion proposal to be submitted to NPS: 1. A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommending the proposal. 2. A detailed explanation of the sponsor's need to convert the Section 6(f) parkland including all efforts to consider other practical alternatives to this conversion, how they were evaluated, and the reasons they were not pursued. 3. An explanation of how the conversion is in accord with the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). 4. Completed "State AppraisallWaiver Valuation Review form in Step 7 for each of the converted and replacement parcels certifying that the appraisals meet the "Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions." States must retain copies of the appraisals/waiver valuations and make them avatiable for review upon request. 5. For the park land proposed for conversion, a detailed description including the following: a. Specific geographic location on a map, 9 -digit zip code, and name of park or recreation area proposed for conversion. b. Description of the area proposed for the conversion including the acreage to be converted and any acreage remaining. For determining the size of the conversion, consider not only the physical footprint of the activity precipitating the conversion, but how the precipitating activity will impact the entire 6(f) park area. In many cases the size of the converted area is larger than the physical footprint Include a description of the recreation resources, facilities, and recreation opportunities that will be impacted, displaced or lost by the proposed conversion. For proposals to partially convert a Section 6(f) park area, the remaining 6(0 park land must remain recreationally viable and not be impacted by the activities that are precipitating the conversion. If it is anticipated that the precipitating activities impact the remaining Section 6(f) area, the proposed area for the conversion should be expanded to encompass all impacted park land. c. Description of the community and population served by the park, including users of the park and uses. d. For partial conversions, a revised 6(f) map clearly indicating both the portion that is being converted and the portion remaining intact under Section 6(f). 6. For each proposed replacement site. a. Specific geographic location on a map, 9 -digit zip code, and geographical relationship of converted and replacement sites. If site will be added to an existing public parkloutdoor recreation area, indicate on map. FPS - A047 29. 16E5 b. Description of the site's physical characteristics and resource attributes with number and types of resources and features on the site, for example, 15 acres wetland, 2,000 feet beachfront, 50 acres forest, scenic views, 75 acres riparian, vacant lot, special habitat, any unique or special features, structures, recreation amenities, historic /cultural resources, hazardous materials /contamination history, restrictions, institutional controls, easements, rights -of -way, overhead /underground utilities including overhead wires, towers, etc. 10101108 c. Identification of the owner of the replacement site and its recent history of use /function up to the present. d. Detailed explanation of how the proposed replacement site is of reasonably equivalent usefulness and location as the property being converted, including a description of the recreation needs that will be met by the new replacement parks, populations to be served, and new outdoor recreation resources, facilities, and opportunities to be provided. e. Identification of owner and manager of the new replacement park? f. Name of the new replacement park. If the replacement park is added to an existing public park area, will the existing area be included within the 6(f) boundary? What is the name of the existing public park area? g. Timeframe for completing the new outdoor recreation area(s) to replace the recreation opportunity lost per the terms of conversion approval and the date replacement park(s) will be open to the public. h. New Section 6(f) map for the new replacement parts. 7. NEPA environmental review, including NHPA Section 106 review, for both the converted and replacement sites in the same document to analyze how the converted park land and recreational, usefulness will be replaced. Except for "small" conversions (see LWCF Manual Chapter 8), conversions usually require an EA. Proceed to Steps 5 through 7 C. Proposal for a Public Facility in a Section 6(f) Area Prior to developing this proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance. In summary, NPS must review and decide on requests to construct a public indoor and/or non - recreation facility within a Section 6(f) area. In certain cases NPS may approve the construction of public facilities within a Section 6(0 area where it can be shown that there will be a net gain in outdoor recreation benefits and enhancements for the entire park. In most cases, development of a non - recreation public facility within a Section 6(f) area constitutes a conversion. For NPS review, the State /sponsor must submit a proposal to NPS under a letter of transmittal from the SLO that: 1. Describes the purpose and all proposed uses of the public facility such as types of programming, recreation activities, and special events including intended users. of the new facility and any agency, organization, or other party to occupy the facility. Describe the interior and exterior of the facility, such as office space, meeting rooms, food /beverage area, residential/lodging area, classrooms, gyms, etc. Explain how the facility will be compatible with the outdoor recreation area. Explain how the facility and associated uses will significantly support and enhance existing and planned outdoor recreation resources and uses of the site, and how outdoor recreation use will remain the primary function of the site. (The public's outdoor recreation use must continue to be greater than that expected for any indoor use, unless the site is a single facility, such as a swimming pool, which virtually occupies the entire site.) 2. Indicates the exact location of the proposed public facility and associated activities on the site's Section 6(f) map. Explain the design and location alternatives considered for the public facility and why they were not pursued. 3. Explains who will own and /or operate and maintain the facility? Attach any P party leases and operation and management agreements. When will the facility be open to the public? Will the facility ever be used for private functions and closed to the public? Explain any user or other fees that will be instituted, including the fee structure. 4. Includes required documents as a result of a completed NEPA process (Steps 5 — 7).. FPS -A047 30 16E5 Proceed to Steps 5 through 7 10101/06 FPS - A047 31 A. Proposal for Temporary Non - Conforming Use 16E b Prior to developing this proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance. NPS must review and decided on requests for temporary uses that do not meet the requirements of allowable activities within a Section 6(f) area. A temporary non- conforming use is limited to a period of six months (180 days) or less. Continued use beyond six-months will not be considered temporary, and may result in a Section 6(f)(3) conversion of use requiring the replacement of converted parkland. For NPS review, describe the temporary non - conforming use (activities other than public outdoor recreation) in detail including the following information: 1. A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommending the proposal. 2. Describe in detail the proposed temporary non - conforming use and all associated activities, why it is needed, and alternative locations that were considered and why they were not pursued. 3. Explain length of time needed for the temporary non - conforming use and why. 4. Describe the size of the Section 6(f) area affected by the temporary non - conforming use activities and expected impacts to public outdoor recreation areas, facilities and opportunities. Explain efforts to keep the size of the area impacted to a minimum. Indicate the location of the non - conforming use on the site's 6(f) map. 6. Describe any anticipated temporary/permanent impacts to the Section 6(f) area and how the sponsor will mitigate them during and after the non - conforming use ceases. 6. Consult the LWCF Manual for additional requirements and guidelines before developing the proposal. Proceed to Steps 5 through 7 B. Proposal for Significant Change in Use Prior to developing the proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance. NPS approval must be obtained prior to any change from one eligible use to another when the proposed use would significantly contravene the original plans or intent for the area outlined in the original LWCF application for federal assistance. Consult with NPS for early determination on the need for a formal review. NPS approval is only required for proposals that will significantly change the use of a LWCF - assisted site (e.g., from passive to active recreation). The proposal must include and address the following items: 1. A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommending the proposal. 2. Description of the proposed changes and how they significantly contravene the original plans or intent of LWCF agreements. 3. Explanation of the need for change in use and how the change is consistent with local plans and the SCORP. 4. Consult the LWCF Manual for additional requirements and guidelines before developing the proposal. Proceed to Steps 5 through 7 C. Proposal for Sheltering Facilities Prior to developing this proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance. NPS must review and decide on all proposals to shelter an existing outdoor recreation facility or construct a new sheltered recreation facility within a Section 6(f) area regardless of funding source. The proposal must demonstrate that there is an increased benefit to public recreation opportunity. Describe the sheltering proposal in detail, including the following: 1. A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommending the proposal. 2. Describe the proposed sheltered facility, how it would operate, how the sheltered facility will include recreation uses that could typically occur outdoors, and how the primary purpose of the sheltered facility is recreation. 3. Explain how the sheltered facility would not substantially diminish the outdoor recreation values of the site including how the sheltered facility will be compatible and significantly supportive of the outdoor recreation resources present and/or planned. 10101!08 FPS - A047 - 32 16E5 4. Explain how the sheltered facility will benefit the total park's outdoor recreation use. 5. Describe efforts provided to the public to review the proposal to shelter the facility and has local support. 6. Document that the sheltered facility will be under the control and tenure of the public agency which sponsors and administers the original park area. 7. Consult the LWCF Manual for additional requirements and guidelines beforee developing the proposal. Proceed to Steps 5 through 7 Step 5. Summary of Previous Environmental Review (including E.o. 12372 - Intergovernmental Review) To avoid duplication of effort and unnecessary delays, describe any prior environmental review undertaken at any time and still viable for this proposal or related efforts that could be useful for understanding potential environmental impacts. Consider previous local, state, federal (e.g. HUD, EPA, USFWS, FHWA, DOT) and any other environmental reviews. At a minimum, address the following: 1. Date of environmental review(s), purpose for the environmental review(s) and for whom they were conducted. —SEE ATTACHED SHEET 2. Description of the proposed action and alternatives. Described in EIS 3. Who was involved in identifying resource impact issues and developing the proposal including the interested and affected public, government agencies, and Indian tribes. Collier County staff 4. Environmental resources analyzed and determination of impacts for proposed actions and alternatives. Described in EIS 5. Any mitigation measures to be part of the proposed action. — SEE ATTACHED SHEET 6. Intergovernmental Review Process (Executive Order 12372): Does the State have an Intergovernmental Review Process? Yes No X . If yes, has the LWCF Program been selected for review under the State Intergovernmental Review Process? Yes No If yes, was this proposal reviewed by the appropriate State, metropolitan, regional and local agencies, and it so, attach any information and comments received about this proposal. if proposal was not reviewed, explain why not. 7. Public comment periods (how long, when in the process, who was invited to comment) and agency response. Required as part of the Rezone process, but has not occurred yet. 8. Any format decision and supporting reasons regarding degree of potential impacts to the human environment. None 9. Was this proposed LWCF federal action and/or any other federal actions analyzed /reviewed in any of the previous environmental reviews? If so, what was analyzed and what impacts were identified? Provide specific environmental review document references. No Use resource impact information generated during previous environmental reviews described above and from recently conducted site inspections to complete the Environmental Screening Form (ESF) portion of this PDIESF under Step 6. Your ESF responses should indicate your proposal's potential for impacting each resource as determined in the previous environmental review(s), and include a reference to where the analysis can be found in an earlier environmental review document. If the previous environmental review documents contain proposed actions to mitigate impacts, briefly summarize the mitigation for each resource as appropriate. The appropriate references for previous environmental review document(s) must be documented on the ESF, and the actual document(s) along with this PD /ESF must be included in the submission for NPS review. Proceed to Steps 6 through 7 10101 s FPS - A047 33 W1 16E5 Step 6. Environmental Screening Form (ESF) This portion of the PD /ESF is a worKing toot usea io ioenmy me lum ul c,1- V11111WIl.as ......�.••- •••- -•• -•• - •••• -•• must accompany the proposal submission to the NPS. By completing the ESF, the project sponsor is providing support for its recommendation in Step 7 that the proposal either: 1. meets criteria to be categorically excluded (CE) from further NEPA review and no additional environmental documentation is necessary; or 2. requires further analysis through an environmental assessment (EA) or an environmental impact statement (EIS). An ESF alone does not constitute adequate environmental documentation unless a CE is recommended. If an EA is required, the EA process and resulting documents must be included in the proposal submission to the NPS. If an EIS may be required, the State must request NPS guidance on how to proceed. The scope of the required environmental analysis will vary according to the type of LWCF proposal. For example, the scope for a new LWCF project will differ from the scope for a conversion. Consult the LWCF Manual for guidance on defining the scope or extent of environmental analysis needed for your LWCF proposal. As early as possible in your planning process, consider how your proposal /project may have direct, indirect and cumulative impacts on the human environment for your type of LWCF action so planners have an opportunity to design alternatives to lessen impacts on resources, if appropriate. When used as a planning tool in this way, the ESF responses may change as the proposal is revised until it is ready for submission for federal review. Initiating or completing environmental analysis after a decision has been made is contrary to both the spirit and letter of the law of the NEPA. The ESF should be completed with input from resource experts and in consultation with relevant local, state, tribal and federal governments, as applicable. The interested and affected public should be notified of the proposal and be invited to participate in scoping out the proposal (see LWCF Manual Chapter 4). At a minimum, a site inspection of the affected area must be conducted by individuals who are familiar with the type of affected resources, possess the ability to identify potential resource impacts, and to know when to seek additional data when needed. At the time of proposal submission to NPS for federal review, the completed ESF must justify the NEPA pathway that was followed: CE recommendation, production of an EA, or production of an EIS. The resource topics and issues identified on the ESF for this proposal must be presented and analyzed in an attached EA/EIS. Consult the LWCF Manual for further guidance on LWCF and NEPA. The ESF contains two parts that must be completed: Part A. Environmental Resources Part B.'Mandatory Criteria Part A: For each environmental resource topic; choose an impact estimate level (none, negligible, minor, exceeds minor) that describes the degree of potential ne-Clarive impact for each listed resource that may occur directly, indirectly and cumulatively as a result of federal approval of your proposal. For each impacted resource provide a brief explanation of how the resource might be affected, how the impact level was determined, and why the chosen impact level is appropriate. If an environmental review has already been conducted on your proposal and is still viable, include the citation including any planned mitigation for each applicable resource, and choose an impact level as mitigated. If the resource does not apply to your proposal, mark NA in the first column. Add any relevant resources (see A24 on the ESF) if not included in the list Use a separate sheet to briefly clarify how each resource could be adversely impacted; any direct indirect, and cumulative impacts that may occur; and any additional data that still needs to be determined. Also explain any planned mitigation already addressed in previous environmental reviews. Part B: This is a list of mandatory impact criteria that preclude the use of categorical exclusions. If you answer "yes" or "maybe" for any of the mandatory criteria, you must develop an EA or EIS regardless of your answers in Part A. Explain all "yes" and "maybe" answers on a separate sheet. 10101108 FPS - A047 34 26E5 For conversions, complete one ESF for each of the converted and replacement sites. 10/01/08 FPS - A047 35 Not No /Negligibl More Data Needed A.

SLO /ASLO Original Signature: Typed Name, Title, Agency Date: 10/09/06 FPS - A047 37 16E5 Separate sheets for responses addressing narrative descriptions and explanations in the LWCF Proposal Description and Environmental Screening Form 16E5 Step 2 — B1. Describe the physical improvements and /or facilities that will be developed with federal LWCF assistance, including a site sketch depicting improvements, where and how the public will access the site, parking, etc. Indicate entrances on 6(0 map. Indicate to what extent the project involves new development, rehabilitation, and/or replacement of existing facilities, This project includes the construction of a canoe/kayak launch facility along the Gordon River. The facility will include a launch area for canoes and kayaks; 33 parking spaces (4 of which will be handicapped accessible); a family restroom facility; a picnic pavilion; a children's play area; and 300 feet of trails (120 feet of boardwalk and 180 feet of asphalt) that will connect with the remaining proposed Gordon River Greenway Park trail system. Only one small, unoccupied, residential building that will be razed during construction currently exists within the project boundary. The proposed facilities will be constructed within 3.6 acres of the project boundary that has been previously cleared and /or is over -grown with non - native plants. Although no historical or archaeological resources exist within the project boundary, sites have been recorded nearby within other areas of the Gordon River Greenway Park, Approximately T acre of disturbed Wetland Forested Mixed ecosystem will be preserved and restored within the project site. The disturbed Wetland Forested Mixed ecosystem currently contains the following invasive, exotic plant species: Brazilian pepper, Australian pine, melaleuca, shoe -button ardisia, wedelia, and old -world climbing fern. Dominant native vegetation includes: scattered red mangrove and buttonwood in the canopy; cabbage palm in the sub- canopy; and golden leather fern, giant leather fern, Boston fern, swamp fern and camphorweed in the understory. Step 2 - D7. As a result of, this project, describe new types of outdoor recreation opportunities and capacities, and short and long term public benefits. Hiking, biking, jogging, rollerblading, environmental education, nature walks, bird - watching, and nature photography will all be possible with the construction of the multi -use trail within the project site. Thirty-three vehicles will have the ability to access the site at one time. Picnicking, children's playground use, and canoeing /kayaking will also be possible at the project site. The public will benefit immediately through direct use of the site for the various outdoor activities listed above. The restored 1 acre of Wetland Forested Mixed ecosystem on site will provide long term public benefit by creating green -space and wildlife habitat and by providing flood protection. Additionally, educational programs created by the Collier County Parks and Recreation Department will benefit the community for many years. 16E5 Step 2 — D9. Describe the planning process that led to the development of this proposal. This project, the Gordon River Greenway Park Canoe /Kayak Launch, is only one part of the larger Gordon River Greenway Park. The planning of the Gordon River Greenway Park has been a collaborative effort among Collier County, the Naples Airport Authority, the Naples Zoo, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, and the Southwest Florida Land Preservation Trust. Although the particulars of this grant application have not been discussed among these groups, the design of the Canoe/Kayak Launch has been discussed among these groups and the public. The Gordon River Greenway Park Project is a standing item on the Collier County Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Board's (CCLAAC) monthly meeting agenda. All CCLAAC meetings are open to the public. Stakeholder meetings with members of the public and private organizations effected by the Gordon River Greenway Park are also held on a regular basis; the last one took place for 1.5 hours on January 14, 2011. During this meeting, the particulars of this grant application were not discussed, but members of the public were given the opportunity to comment on all aspects of the Gordon River Greenway Park 30% design plans, which included the project area associated with this grant application. No comments were received regarding the project area. Step 2 - D10. How does this proposal implement statewide outdoor recreation goals as presented in the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) (include references), and explain why this proposal was selected using the State's Open Project Selection Process (OPSP). This proposal implements the following statewide outdoor recreation goals as presented in Florida's 2008 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan: Goal 4. Provide additional opportunities for resource -based and user - oriented recreation in both urban and rural areas, with a wide range of facility development from the primitive to the fully developed. Although the Gordon River Greenway Park Canoe /Kayak Launch facility is located within urban Collier County, it will be set back into the thick vegetation along the Gordon River. Visitors will be able to hike, bike, jog, rollerblade, picnic, and canoe /kayak at the site. Children will be able to play at a small play area and restrooms will be provided. Goal 5. Support programs to broaden the public's participation in outdoor recreation activities. This project will encourage the public to participate in hiking, jogging, bird - watching, nature photography, and canoeing/kayaking. In addition, the Collier County Parks and Recreation Department will provide a variety of nature -based public programs at this site. 16E5 Goal 6. Improve access to recreational opportunities for persons of all apes and abilities. This project will provide Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access to an ADA trail system and canoe /kayak launch. Goal 7. Promote a stewardship ethic encourage volunteerism, and increase the public's understanding of the value and importance of Florida's public lands and their natural and cultural resources. The natural vegetation within this project site will be restored. The trails of this site will connect up to other Gordon River Greenway Park trails that will include signage regarding the historical natural resources of the Park. The Collier County Parks and Recreation Department also has a very active volunteer program, and will encourage people to volunteer at the Gordon River Greenway once it is constructed. This project was selected for submittal because.: it will implement the above SCORP goals, objectives, and priorities; it will provide for picnicking and nature study in Florida's Region IX; it has been discussed at a regularly scheduled advisory board meeting; it will be a linear park; Collier County has the capability to develop, operate and maintain the project; it will provide for new development of entirely undeveloped property; it will provide 3 or more new recreational facilities; it will provide for new support facilities; it provides developed pedestrian access to and along a water resource; it will provide a facility for recreational use of water resources (canoe /kayak launch); it will provide 6 facilities that have been identified in the priority of new facilities needs within the state of Florida's population density 5; and it will address the lower priority of infrastructure funding needs within the state of Florida's population density 5. Step 2 - D12. Is this LWCF project scope part of a larger effort not reflected on the SF -424 (Application for Federal Assistance) and grant agreement? This project, the Gordon River Greenway Park Canoe /Kayak Launch, is only one part of the larger Gordon River Greenway Project. For over 20 years, the idea of a centrally located preserve /park along the Gordon River has been envisioned by various community groups in Collier County. In mid -2005, moving towards realization of this vision, Collier County purchased over 100 contiguous acres along the Gordon River, including this project site. The purchase was actually the result of a community effort to accomplish two goals. The first goal was to save the Naples Zoo, a longtime Naples attraction, from having the lands it leased sold out from under it, The second goal was to acquire lands along the Gordon River for the Gordon River Greenway. In November 2005, voters in Collier County overwhelmingly approved a $40 million bond to help pay for the northernmost section of the Gordon River Greenway Park, and the Trust for Public Lands assisted with the negotiations and purchase. The southernmost 43.5 acres of the Greenway Park were acquired by Conservation Collier (Collier County's conservation land acquisition program) in April 2006_ The Conservation Collier Program was overwhelmingly approved by Collier County voters in two successive voter referendums; in 2002 by 62% and again in 2006 by 82 %. 16E� Partner agencies for the Gordon River Greenway Project include: Big Cypress Basin /South Florida Water Management District; the Conservancy of Southwest Florida; Collier County Facilities Management Department, Parks and Recreation Department, and Stormwater Department; Florida Gulf Coast University; Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and others, including local conservation groups. The Gordon River Greenway Project itself is also a part of a larger initiative called the Naples Bay Initiative (NBI). The NBI is a plan of larger scope that includes multiple projects intended to restore the Naples Bay. This Initiative has multiple partners including, but not limited to: The Conservancy of Southwest Florida, The Bay Management Organization, Florida Wildlife Federation, Collier County Environmental Advisory Council, Naples City Council, Board of Collier County Commissioners and the Big Cypress Basin Board /South Florida Water Management District. Step 2 - D13. List all required federal, state, and local permits /approvals needed for the proposal and explain their purpose and status. LOCAL 1. Rezone — application submitted to Collier County 2.

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)prepared on March 4, 2010 as required by Collier County Environmental Permitting Section in order to rezone the property to Public Use. 16E5 Step 5 - 5. Any mitigation measures to be part of the proposed action. State and federal wetland mitigation impacts were calculated in the prepared EIS. On -site restoration within other portions of the Gordon River Greenway Park will be used to mitigate wetland impacts to the project site. Step 6 — Al. Soils will be impacted when lagoon for canoe /kayak launch is dredged Step 6 — A4. Water quality on site will be impacted during dredging of the canoe /kayak launch, but turbidity barriers will be set up to eliminate discharge into the Gordon River during construction Step 6 — A7. Disturbed wetlands that are impacted by invasive, exotic plants will be destroyed during the creation of the lagoon. On -site wetland mitigation within other portions of the Gordon River Greenway Park will meet requirements of State and Federal agencies.

A. Explain how the proposed project would address one or more of the issues, recommendations or goals identified in the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. ISSUES Recreational Access to Florida's Waters —The Gordon River Greenway Park Canoe /Kayak Launch facility will provide the public with non - motorized recreational access to the Gordon River, which leads to Naples' Bay and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. Tourism — This project will not only create tourist access to the Gordon River, but will also serve as one of two access points to approximately two miles of proposed trails throughout the Gordon River Greenway that will exist to the north, east, and south of the project site. Reconnecting Children and Youth to the Outdoors — This project will allow children to participate in hiking, biking, kayaking, and fishing within an urban location. The Collier County Parks and Recreation Department will also utilize this project site for children's camp programs. GOALS 4. Provide additional opportunities for resource -based and user oriented recreation in both urban and rural areas, with a wide range of facility development from the primitive to the fully developed Although the Gordon River Greenway Park Canoe /Kayak Launch facility is located within urban Collier County, it will be set back into the thick vegetation along the Gordon River. Visitors will be able to hike, bike, jog, rollerblade, picnic, and canoe /kayak at the site. Children will be able to play at a small play area and restrooms will be provided. 5. Support programs to broaden the public's participation in outdoor recreation activities. This project will encourage the public to participate in hiking, jogging, bird - watching, nature photography, and canoeing /kayaking. In addition, the Collier County Parks and Recreation Department will provide a variety of nature -based public programs at this site. 6. Improve access to recreational opportunities for persons of all ages and abilities This project will provide Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access to an ADA trail system and canoe /kayak launch. 7. Promote a stewardship ethic encourage volunteerism and increase the public's understanding of the value and importance of Florida's public lands and their natural and cultural resources. The natural vegetation within this project site will be restored. The trails of this site will connect up to other Gordon River Greenway Park trails that will 16E5 irs elude signage regarding the historical and natural resources of the Park. The Collier G ounty Parks and Recreation Department also has a very active volunteer program and vvi11 encourage people to volunteer at the Gordon River Greenway once it is constructed. FtIECOMMENDATIONS PLANNING 4. Local overnments that have not already done so should evaluate current and future otherrecreation providers in the region Collier County has evaluated the current and future recreation needs of the County and has addressed them in the Recreation and Open Space Element (ROSE) of the Collier County Growth Management Plan. Per the ROSE the County has developed a community and regional park system to provide useable open space to meet the recreational needs of residents within the community. ACQUIRING AND MANAGING CONSERVATION LANDS 1. Public land managing agencies should ensure that all lands under their management are open for appropriate pubbc access as soon as possible after acquisition This should be done in a way that does not compromise the resources of the lands or the missions of the mana�inq agencies This project will allow the public to access approximately 2 -miles of proposed trails through environmentally sensitive areas that were acquired in 2005 and 2006. Development within the project site is occurring within land that has been previously and /or is infested with invasive, exotic vegetation. Natural lands remaining within the project site will be restored to a Wetland Forested Mixed ecosystem through the control of invasive, exotic vegetation. 3. Resource management and restoration activities on public lands should be gre atly expanded. Most lands in public ownership were degraded to some extent prior to acquisition, some extremely so Lands that are in a hialh quality condition often require substantial resource management effort to maintain them in that condition Activities such as prescribed burning exotic species removal and hydrological restoration are vrfal to providing and m intainrnq the high quality natural and cultural resources that support resource -based recreafion Invasive, exotic plant control will be implemented Within the natural area of the project site. FUNDING 5. All park and recreation agencies should maximize the use of volunteers and citizen based support organizations to supplement their existinq resources and personnel The Collier County Parks and Recreation Department has a large and active volunteer labor base and employs and full-time volunteer coordinator to manage their activities. 16E5 ,r ACTIVE AND HEALTHY LIVING 2 - Public park and recreation agencies should continue efforts to create and promote o"tdoorrecreation activities through- out the state in cooperation with private interest ar'ouns. non - profit organizations and volunteers Once complete, the project site will be utilized by both Parks and Recreation staff and volunteers and Conservancy of Southwest Florida (local non- profit organization) staff and volunteers as a location for ecil ucational programs. 3. Public park and recreation agencies should continue to work with local planning crrowth management and greenway and trail programs to improve the ability of Floridians to walk and bicycle to work school and other dally activities and to provide public outdoor recreation opportunrhes This project will allow the public access to a linear, nature park that will also serve as a bicycle /pedestrian route enabling the public to by -pass street- sidewalks to get from one place to another. OUTDOOR RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL PEOPLE 2. Outdoor recreation providers should take measures to ensure that aN people inclu !na those with disabilities receive the same opportunities to participate in and PM—OX the benefits of recreation programs and activities This project site will be constructed to ADA standards to ensure that all citizens can access the facilities. FLORIDA'S WATERS 8. Public recreation providers should identify water areas under their jurisdictions where gnu ylvu mliurrcy iu maKLna me neeaea Lmprovements No public canoe /kayak launches currently exist along the Gordon River. This project will provide public access to the Gordon River. 16E, EXHIBIT C: Public participation documentation 16E5 EXHIBIT C -1: Copy of public meeting advertisement for SOLE PURPOSE of discussing the project 16E5 Not Applicable i�i�5 EXHIBIT C -2: Agenda and minutes of REGULARLY SCHEDULED advisory board meeting CONSERVATION COLLIER LAND ACQUISITION ADVISORY COMMITTEE December 13, 2010 9:00 A.M.

Second by Mr. Curl. Carried unanimously 8 -0. IV. Old Business A. Budget Melissa Hennig, Principal Environmental Specialist, Program Manager provided the Executive Summary "Budget Shortfall Projections audAdriso)y Sunset Provision " dated December 13, 2010 and the folloi►ring documents: • "Collier Coin yLand Afaintenance Fund (174) — Projected Revenue and Lapenses FY2011- 2020" dated December 13, 2010. • "Collier Coway Land Maintenance Fund (174) — Projected Revenue and Expenses FY2021- 202." dated December 13, 2010. • "Fiscal Year Cm7 y Fortii►ard Analysis — Fund 172 — Conservation Collier" dated December 13, 2010. • Copy of newspaper article published November 28, 2010 titled "Time for 20120 Revisions " As outlined in the Executive Summary, Staff reconnnends the following: • Immediately suspend all acquisitions, including those Unit 53 and Winchester Head parcels that are under contract and waiting for Board approval. • Prepare a final recommended Active Acquisition List as a contingency plan if the economy or circumstances change. • Report to the Board in January 2011, present a final recommended acquisition list and request direction regarding the sun setting of the CCLAAC. 2 December 13, 201 • CCLAAC and staff prepare a prioritization of public amenities at each preserve for recommendation to the Board. Melissa Hennig reviewed the rationale for the recommendations including: • When the budget projections were prepared in May of 2010, taxable values for the County were expected to decrease 7% for FY11 (over FY10) and remain flat for FY 12 (over FYI I). • New projections indicate taxable values will decrease by 11.7% in FY 11, 7% in FYI and remain flat for FY 13. • hi May, it was estimated $63M would be available for land acquisitions ($1.9M for the remaining parcels in Unit 53 and Winchester Head and $4.4M for new acquisitions). • Projections now indicate $4.7M will be available for acquisitions ($2.8M will be available for new acquisition and S1.9M available for Winchester Head and Unit 53 acquisitions). • In May of 2010, interest rates were estimated at 1.5% for FYI 1 and to slowly increase to 3.67% by FY20. • New projections indicate the interest rate will be .88% for FYI I and slowly increase to 3.00% by FY20. • Preservation land needs to be managed to a certain level of service to support the species that inhabit them and provide the necessary public benefits (access to the property, etc.) • Given the current projections, interest income from the Management fiord may not be sufficient to provide the required level of service to the Preserves. • Staff is concerned with the expenditure of funds on additional acquisitions until they are assured finds are available to properly manage the existing preserves. • To assist in determining ho-%v any available funds may be expended in the future, Staff recommends prioritizing an acquisition list and the public amenities proposed for each Preserve. Mr. Pires posed the following questions to Staff. Q. Why is there a discrepancy in the figure of $5.922M for FYI l revenue shown in the document "Fiscal Year Carly Fortnar d Anal)lsis — Fiord 172 — Conservation Collier" dated December 13, 2010 versus the document updating projections provided at today's meeting ( "Decembe)- 2010 Projections ") showing $4.9M for FYI l —13?

Collier CallserPatiOlt fitttrls tltrough various sources, Fdti»uttell� reintbntserl tlmottgh selling of atitigatiot credits — 111clissa Retuiig. Q. Has there been any discussions to continue the Conservation Collier .25 tax mill levy beyond FYI to fund the Jackson Labs project? A. Not to his knowledge — Marlc Isackson Chairman Poteet expressed concern over Staff's rationale for anticipating decreases in taxable values over FYI I and FY 12 as real estate sales data over the past 4 — 8 months indicate the property values have "flattened out." Dwight Brock, Collier County Clerk of Circuit Courts addressed the Committee and submitted the document "Collier County Investment Portfolio as of 11/30/3010" for informational purposes. He provided an overview on the County's concept of investing County fiords which provide the interest revenue in question. He noted the purpose of taxation is not to invest money for the contributors, rather raise the funds necessary to operate the government. Therefore, the County has a very conservative approach for investing any available funds and invests the funds based on the best available sih�ation at the time. This activity provides for a conservative return on investment. Mr. Delate noted the Committee should determine what measures should be implemented to "close out" any existing multi parcel acquisition projects such as Unit 53 and Winchester Head. Air. Pires cited Section of the Ordinance governing the Committee which noted "at such times there are insrricient uneonnnitted founds in the acquisition tr•trst find, to include another acquisition and all acquisition projects have been closed, the acquisition connnittee shall report to the Board of County Connnnissioneus that its business has concluded." He noted all acquisition projects have not been closed and recommended the discussion on Staff's recommendations be continued until the next meeting. Mr. Sobczak agreed on the issue of completing multi parcel projects and expressed concern the interest projections provided in May of 2010 to the Committee should have been revised sooner than December. Speakers Ellie Krier, recommended the Committee postpone the item until their organization can complete polling data on public opinion of the Program. This would assist the Committee on developing reconnuendations. 4 December 13, 2010 Andrew McEhvaine, Conservancy of Southwest Florida recommended continuing with the current acquisition process for those properties in the pipeline. The Program has strong public support and agreed on delaying the decision on any recommendations to the BCC until the Conservancy reviews the concept of the public polling recommended by Ms. Krier. Mr. Pires expressed concern the lower interest rates were not available until this time and the recommendations posed are premature given the parameters of the Ordinance governing Conservation Collier. He stated with any recommendations posed should include that the BCC consider a voter referendum in 2012 on continuation of the Program. Mil Pir es moved to table consideration of the recommendations to file nart meeting. Second by Ali . Delate. The Committee requested Staff provide: • Data on the total amount of revenue collected by the Program to date. • Clarification on the budget numbers in question in relation to Fiscal Year Carey Fbiward Analysis — Fund 172 — Conservation Collier-" dated December 13, 2010 and the updated projections provided today. • If possible, updated budget projections for future taxable values. Carried unanimously 8 -D. B. Real Property Management Update Cindy Erb, Real Property Management provided the following updates: Unit 53 — to date 63 parcels totaling 178.57 acres have been acquired (305.69 acres total within the project). Winchester Head — to date 47 parcels totaling 65.33 acres have been acquired (158.67 acres total within the project). Discussion occurred noting -in fairness to existing landowners with signed contracts, the County should continue the process required to acquire the parcels. Ali: Delate moved to recommend (to the Board of County Commissioners) the Cotrfity e-recute the contracts for the Jac /rson, Navarro, Prtlacios, and JordanalNolina parcels. Second by Ali. Sobczak. Carried unanimously 8 -0. The Committee determined the Lands Evaluation and Management Subcommittee should meet with representatives of the South Florida Water Management District for possible partnerships, etc. in the Unit 53 project. C, Gordon River Greenway Project — Update Jeff Curl reported the design plans are at 30 percent completion stage. The next formal review of project will be at the 60 percent completion stage. 5 6E5 December 13, 2010 Barry Williams, Director, Parks and Recreation Department noted the next Stakeholders meeting is scheduled for January 14, 2011. Ellie Krier Southwest Florida Land Preservation Trust the "Annual Celebration of the Gordon River Greenway" will be held on March 23, 2011. D. Preserve Use Ordinance - Update Alex Sulecki provided an update noting: • Staff will present an Executive Summary to the BCC on December 14, 2010 and reconunend the "Preserve Use Ordinance" be incorporated into the Parks and Recreation Ordinance. • Staff's rationale for incorporating the "Preserve Use Ordinance" into the Parks and Recreation Ordinance is it will be more efficient than a stand alone Ordinance. • The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has indicated if there is an adopted County Ordinance, they may provide enforcement measures, as necessary. • Staff A,611 provide members a copy of the Executive Summary and related backup materials to Committee members via e-mail. V. New Business A. Cycle 8 Updates, notice of any member conflict, review of process Alex Sulecki provided an overview of the document "Questions and Answers oil Propellies fi-ont 11 -08 -10 CCLAAC" dated December 13, 2010 ♦which outlined updates on the properties nominated for acquisition.

Cycle 8 Property Ranking Alex Sulecki presented the document "Active Acquisition List f3'ol ksheet — December 10, 2010" for assistance in ranking the properties for acquisition. She provided an overvie-,v of the ranking procedure noting: • A -List properties — Staff will actively pia sue acquisition and will be ranked ill pl'loi -ity (1 = High, 2 = Medium, 3 = Low.) • B -List properties — Of interest to the Program, but ~rill not be actively pursued and automatically re- ranked and considered in the next Cycle. • C-List. properties — Committee still not pursue, sue, bu;, may be re- nomnated by owners for acquisition iii f rture Cycles. 175 /Gore properties (ALM LLC Are Arias (2 parcels) ASrra, Berman. Blake Faust Fernandez Gascon Gore Mavr 3ylohabir, Velez) 31 16E5 December 13, 2010 Discussion occurred with some members in the opinion the properties should be placed on the C -List as some of the owners are no longer cooperating with the proposed acquisition, there are extensive amounts of exotic infestation on some parcels and there may be abetter use of Staff time. Others felt they should be placed on the S -List given the location of the properties and this would provide an easier route to re- considering them should it become necessary if future conditions dictate. Mi: Delate moved to consider the I-75 parcels together (AL1'111, LLC; Ana fill Arias (2 parcel), Agra; Bernrarr; Blake; Faust; Fernandez; Gascon; Gore; Alayr; AIohabir; and Velez). Second by Als.

B. 8.1) (a). Provide a description of the proposed project which, inclttcles existing and fitture uses, existing and proposed physical improvements, naturnl and historical resources, any proposed resource protection /conservation and any existing buildings on site. This project includes the construction of a canoe /kayak launch facility along the Gordon River. The facility will include a launch area for canoes and kayaks; 33 parking spaces (4 of which will be handicapped accessible); a family restroom facility; a picnic pavilion; a children's play area; and 300 feet of trails (120 feet of boardwalk and 180 feet of asphalt) that will connect with the remaining proposed Gordon River Greenway Park trail system. Only one small, unoccupied, residential building that will be razed during construction exists within the project boundary. The proposed facilities will be constructed within 3.6 acres of the project boundary that has been previously cleared and/or is over -grown with non-native plants. Although no historical or archaeological resources were discovered within the project boundary, sites have been recorded nearby within other areas of the Gordon River Greenway Park. Approximately 1 acre of disturbed Wetland Forested Mixed ecosystem will be preserved and restored within the project site. The disturbed Wetland Forested Mixed ecosystem currently contains the following invasive, exotic plant species: Brazilian pepper, Australian pine, melaleuca, shoe -button ardisia, wedelia, and old -world climbing fern. Dominant native vegetation includes: scattered red mangrove and buttonwood in the canopy; cabbage palm in the sub- canopy; and golden leather fern, giant leather fern, Boston fern, swamp fern and camphorweed in the understory. This project, the Gordon River Greenway Park Canoe /Kayak Launch, is only one part of the larger Gordon River Greenway Project. For over 20 years, the idea of a centrally located preserve /park along the Gordon River has been envisioned by various community groups in Collier County, In mid - 2005, moving towards realization of tlus vision, Collier County purchased over 100 contiguous acres along the Gordon River, including this project site. The purchase was actually the result of a community effort to accomplish two goals. The first goal was to save the Naples Zoo, a longtime Naples attraction, from having the lands it leased sold out from under it. The second goal was to acquire lands along the Gordon River for the Gordon River Greenway. In November 2005, voters in Collier County overwhelmingly approved a $40 million bond to help pay for this land, the northernmost section of the Gordon River Greenway Park, and the Trust for Public Lands assisted with the negotiations and purchase. The southernmost 43.5 acres of the Greenway Park were acquired by Conservation Collier (Copier County's conservation land acquisition program) in April 2006, The Conservation Collier Program was overwhelmingly approved by Collier County voters in two successive voter referendums; iii 2002 by 6210 and again in 2006 by 82 %. Partner agencies for the Gordon River Greenway Project include: Big Cypress Basin /South Florida Water Management District; the Conservancy of Southwest Florida; Collier County Facilities Management Department, Parks and Recreation Department, and Stormwater Department; Florida Gulf Coast University, Florida Fish 16E5 and Wildlife Conservation Commission and others, including local conservation groups, The Gordon River Greenway Project itself is also a part of a larger initiative called the Naples Bay Initiative (NBI). The NBI is a plan of larger scope that includes multiple projects intended to restore the Naples Bay. This Initiative has multiple partners including, but not limited to: The Conservancy of Southwest Florida, The Bay Management Organization, Florida Wildlife Federation, Collier County Environmental Advisory Council, Naples City Council, Board of Collier County Commissioners and the Big Cypress Basin Board /South Florida Water Management District.
