Item # 16.A.19
ID# 2025-1137
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve a Resolution relating to the Stewardship Sending Area 14 - Restoration Credits (CLH SSA
14) in the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Zoning Overlay District (RLSA) and to award Restoration II credits to Collier
Land Holdings, Ltd, in accordance with the approved restoration plan.
OBJECTIVE: To approve a resolution to the fourteenth Stewardship Sending Area (SSA) (CLH SSA 14) in the Rural
Lands Stewardship Area Zoning Overlay District (RLSA) and to award Restoration II credits to Collier Land Holdings,
Ltd, in accordance with the approved restoration plan.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Stewardship Credit Program is the foundation of the RLSA. Collier County adopted the
RLSA Overlay as the implementing regulation for the Growth Management Plan amendments, known broadly as the
"Rural/Eastern Lands Amendments. "These amendments were developed in response to Administration Commission
Final Order No. AC 99-002 requires a "Rural and Agricultural Assessment."
On April 13, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved amendments to the fourteenth Stewardship
Sending Area (SSA) known as "CLH SSA 14", and awarded 8,013.3 Stewardship Credits immediately and an additional
4,880.0 Stewardship Credits to be available for the Owner to use, sell, transfer, all or in part, upon successful completion
of the restoration improvements as set forth in the Restoration Plan within Resolution 2021-082. This SSA consists of
1,712.9 acres within the Camp Keais Strand, a significant regional flowway and wildlife corridor connecting Lake
Trafford and Corkscrew Swamp at its northern extent to the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge to the south.
In March 2025, staff conducted a site visit to SSA 14, reviewed the completed restoration activities in Restoration Area
1, as identified in the Restoration Plan approved in Resolution 2021-082. This restoration consisted of hydrologic
improvements; specifically, an old farm road approximately 0.75 miles in length at the north end of the SSA was
removed and restored to the natural grade of adjacent wetlands, and native wetland vegetation was planted to reestablish
the natural flow-way regime. Staff observed that the farm road, including the fill material, was removed, and the
regrading was completed.
The remaining 360.8 credits will be available upon successful completion of activities associated with Restoration Areas
2 and 3.
This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objectives to preserve and enhance the character of our
community and to protect our natural resources.
FISCAL IMPACT: There are no fiscal impacts to the County associated with the application. The applicant is
responsible for the cost of the SFWMD permits and restoration activities.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay in the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE) established the process and requirements for establishing SSAs, what lands qualify for SSA designation, and the
process for obtaining Restoration credits. The Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay is implemented through the Rural
Lands Stewardship Area Zoning Overlay District. The zoning overlay contains the same requirements and limitations as
the FLUE Overlay. The restoration activities completed are consistent with the restoration plan submitted and approved
with the original SSA designation. Therefore, staff’s analysis indicates this resolution for restoration credits is compliant
with the RLSA Zoning Overlay and is also consistent with the FLUE.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and it requires a majority vote for Board
approval (HFAC).
RECOMMENDATIONS: To adopt a Resolution awarding Stewardship Sending Area 14 (CLH SSA 14) in the Rural
Lands Stewardship Area Zoning Overlay District (RLSA) 4,519.2 restoration (R-II) credits for completing restoration
activities within SSA 14.

STEWARDSHIP SENDING AREA 14
COLLIER COUNTY RESTORATION PLAN
Revised August 2019
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The following provides details of the restoration plan for Stewardship Sending Area (SSA) 14
located in Sections 13, 14, 23, and 24; Township 47 South; Range 28 East; Collier County. This
restoration plan and the accompanying drawings (Sheets 1 through 7) are provided in compliance
with Collier County Land Development Code (LDC) Section 4.08.06.C.5.j.(5) and contain the
required elements per the LDC.
SSA 14 totals 1,712.9± acres and is located along the north side of Immokalee Road. The northern
boundary of SSA 14 is approximately 0.8 mile south of Lake Trafford. The Camp Keais Strand
crosses through SSA 14. Camp Keais Strand is connected to Lake Trafford and Corkscrew Swamp
at its northern extent and to the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge (FPNWR) located
approximately 12.5 miles south of SSA 14. The State of Florida targeted the lands that encompass
SSA 14 as essential lands remaining in the Florida Forever Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem
Watershed (CREW) project. The state noted that these lands, as a component of CREW, will
conserve connections between existing conservation areas; provide protection for rare wildlife;
and protect the flows of water feeding the FPNWR, Fakahatchee Strand, and other areas.
SSA 14 is located adjacent to and in close proximity to other existing and proposed SSAs. Other
public lands and designated acquisition areas are located within the vicinity of SSA 14, including
CREW, Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, Big Cypress National Preserve, FPNWR, Fakahatchee
Strand Preserve State Park, Big Cypress Mitigation Bank, Devil’s Garden Florida Forever Project,
Dinner Island Ranch Wildlife Management Area, Okalacoochee Slough Wildlife Management
Area, and Okalacoochee State Forest.
Proposed restoration within SSA 14 totals 1,220.0± acres and includes 1,129.8± acres of flow-way
restoration, the restoration of native habitat in 84.2± acres of existing farm fields, and the
restoration of 6.0± acres of land through exotic removal. The entity responsible for completion of
this restoration plan is the Big Cypress Stewardship District.
2.0 RESTORATION GOALS
The goal of the restoration plan is to return natural/historic functions to degraded and altered
habitats, which will in turn provide regional benefits for surface water flow and wildlife. The
Project site offers a unique opportunity for the restoration and protection of a regional wetland
system, flow-way, and wildlife habitat corridor. The Camp Keais Strand is a natural, regional
cypress slough system that flows from the Corkscrew Swamp and Lake Trafford into the FPNWR
and Fakahatchee Strand to the south. Restoration and protection of this regional network of
conservation lands provides continuity of surface water flow in the region; essential habitat and

Passarella & Associates, Inc. 2 of 8
#05CEM1481 Revised 08/02/19
foraging areas for fauna, including the endangered wood stork (Mycteria americana); and a
corridor for movement by wildlife, including the endangered Florida panther (Puma concolor
coryi).
2.1 Flow-Way Restoration
The South Lee County Watershed Plan identified the restoration of hydrology in Camp
Keais Strand as a means to alleviate regional flooding in Southern Lee County and Collier
County. Camp Keais Strand was once a large natural slough delivering and cleansing water
from Lake Trafford south to Fakahatchee Preserve State Park. The original flow-way has
been constrained and bisected in numerous places by manmade alterations and
impediments causing water to flow west from Lake Trafford and flooding residential
development. The northernmost impediment to water flow in Camp Keais Strand, as
identified by the South Lee County Watershed Plan, is an existing historic roadway which
was the original connection from Immokalee to Big Corkscrew Island. This old road grade
bisects the north end of SSA 14. The removal of this road grade will provide increased
water flow throughout Camp Keais Strand. Water flows south from SSA 14 through a
bridge and box culvert under Immokalee Road, and continues south through SSA 15.
The goal of the flow-way restoration is the enhancement of foraging habitat for wading
birds, including the wood stork; the hydrologic improvement of Camp Keais Strand; and
the restoration of historic sheet flow conditions within Camp Keais Strand.
2.2 Farm Field Restoration
The restoration plan for SSA 14 includes restoring habitat from a farm field that has been
in agriculture use for several decades. One farm field within SSA 14 totaling 84.2± acres
will be restored. The location of the farm field is shown on Sheet 4 of the attached drawings
and is identified as Restoration Area 2.
Area 2 is a farm field totaling 84.2± acres located in the northwest portion of SSA 14. The
field is surrounded by a perimeter berm and includes interior berms and ditches. The
current vegetative composition consists of wetland and transitional shrubs including wax
myrtle (Morella cerifera), saltbush (Baccharis halimifolia), Carolina willow (Salix
caroliniana), primrose willow (Ludwigia peruviana), and Brazilian pepper (Schinus
terebinthifolius). The ground cover is mostly comprised of exotic and weedy herbaceous
species including the exotic species torpedograss (Panicum repens) and West Indian marsh
grass (Hymenachne amplexicaulis).
The goal of the restoration of this farm field is to create quality foraging habitat for wading
birds, including the wood stork; the hydrologic improvement of Camp Keais Strand; and
the restoration of historic sheet flow conditions within Camp Keais Strand.

#05CEM1481 Revised 08/02/19
2.3 Restoration through Exotic Treatment
The restoration plan for SSA 14 also includes enhancing habitats that are infested with
exotic and nuisance vegetation. There are two areas in SSA 14 totaling 6.0± acres where
the current vegetation composition is predominately primrose willow, Brazilian pepper,
and torpedograss. Due to the infestation by exotic and nuisance vegetation, these areas
provide limited value to wildlife. The goal of the exotic and nuisance vegetation treatment
is to restore quality native wetland and upland habitats for utilization by wildlife, including
the wood stork and Florida panther. The locations of these restoration areas are shown on
Sheet 4 of the attached drawings and consist of Restoration Areas 3 and 4.
3.0 RESTORATION WORK
The vegetation communities to be restored will consist primarily of wetland habitats with scattered
uplands. The wetland habitats to be restored will include wet prairie and freshwater marsh. The
upland habitats to be restored will include pine flatwoods and mixed hardwoods. The farm field
restoration activities will include the creation of short hydroperiod wetlands for wading bird
habitat.
The exotic vegetation species to be treated are those species identified as Category I and Category
II invasive exotic plant species, pursuant to the list established by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant
Council (EPPC). The exotic species to be treated include, but are not limited to, melaleuca
(Melaleuca quinquenervia), Brazilian pepper, earleaf acacia (Acacia auriculiformis),
torpedograss, and Old World climbing fern (Lygodium microphyllum).
3.1 Removal of Road Grade
Removal of the old road grade will consist of the (1) excavation of the fill material; (2)
backfilling of adjacent ditches with material from road grade; (3) grading to wetland
elevation; and (4) establishment of native wetland vegetation. Prior to removal activities,
the limits of the road grade to be removed will be flagged in the field and silt fencing
installed. The fill material will then be mechanically removed and used to backfill the
adjacent ditches. The road footprint will then be graded to match existing ground elevations
in the adjacent wetlands. An as-built survey of the graded site will be performed to ensure
the desired elevations have been obtained. After surveying of the final grades, the area will
be allowed to naturally recruit and/or be planted as described for the wetland habitats in
Section 3.2 below.
3.2 Farm Field Restoration
Restoration work for the farm field will involve the removal of the existing ditches and
berms with mechanical equipment. The material from the berms will be used to backfill
the ditches. The fields will be roller chopped to remove the shrubby vegetation and
herbicide treatments will be applied to the fields to eradicate exotic vegetation. After
herbicide treatments, the fields will be disked. The disked fields will be allowed to
revegetate through natural recruitment or planting/seeding of native wetland vegetation.

Passarella & Associates, Inc. 4 of 8
#05CEM1481 Revised 08/02/19
The areas will be allowed to naturally recruit with native plants common to the habitat type
to be restored.
Wetland plantings and/or seeding will be conducted if, after two years, natural recruitment
has not occurred, and sufficient coverage of native vegetation has not been achieved.
Wetland ground cover plantings/seeding will include a mix of the species listed in Table
1. The species selected for planting/seeding will depend on site conditions and market
availability at the time the plantings are to occur.

3.3 Exotic Treatment
Exotic treatment will be conducted using one or more of the following methods: (1) cut
exotic trees within 12 inches of ground elevation and treat remaining stump with approved
herbicide; (2) girdle standing melaleuca with diameter at breast height (DBH) greater than
4 inches and apply approved herbicide to cambium; (3) foliar application of approved
herbicide to melaleuca saplings, Brazilian pepper, and earleaf acacia; (4) foliar application
of approved herbicide or hand pulling of exotic seedlings; and (5) direct application of
approved herbicide to exotic grasses, ground cover, and vines.
Exotic trees greater than 4 inches DBH will be (1) girdled, treated with approved herbicide,
and left standing; or (2) the exotic vegetative debris will be cut and stacked in piles at
approximately 100-foot intervals. If stacking of debris is utilized, smaller cuttings will be
stacked butt end to the ground into a nearly vertical position (i.e., teepee method). Larger
cuttings will be cut and stacked side by side into an area approximately six feet on a side.
Cuttings will be stacked perpendicular to the previous layer up to a height of approximately
four feet (i.e., log cabin method).

#05CEM1481 Revised 08/02/19
4.0 MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Following the completion of the initial road grade removal, farm field restoration, and exotic
treatment activities, semi-annual maintenance events and inspections will occur in the restoration
areas for the first two years. An ecologist will inspect the restoration areas and identify any areas
in need of treatment. Locations of exotic species will be targeted for immediate treatment with an
appropriate herbicide. Any additional potential problems will be noted and corrective actions
taken. Once exotic species levels have been reduced to acceptable limits (i.e., less than five percent
cover), inspections of the restoration areas will be conducted annually.
5.0 MONITORING
The proposed monitoring of the restoration areas will consist of baseline, time-zero, and annual
monitoring of vegetation, wildlife, rainfall, and wetland water levels. The baseline monitoring
event and report will document conditions of the restoration areas as they currently exist. The time-
zero monitoring event and report will document conditions immediately following completion of
restoration activities. Annual monitoring and reporting will then be conducted for a total of five
years. The annual reports will document conditions of the restoration areas and the extent of
success of the restoration activities. If needed, the annual reports will identify specific actions to
be taken to improve the conditions within the restoration areas.
5.1 Vegetation Monitoring
Vegetation will be monitored prior to and following restoration activities. Sampling will
involve canopy, sub-canopy, and ground cover strata along monitoring transects
established within the restoration areas. Sampling transects and methodology for the
baseline, time-zero, and annual reports will utilize identical methods of data collection
from identical sampling stations. See Sheet 7 of the attached drawings for the proposed
monitoring transect locations within the farm field restoration area. Additionally, three
monitoring transects within the exotic treatment restoration areas and three transects within
the road grade removal area will be installed and monitored.
Forested habitats, canopy, and sub-canopy vegetation species will be monitored within 20
x 50-foot plots established along the monitoring transects. Species richness and visual
estimate of percent cover will be calculated for canopy and sub-canopy strata.
For forested and herbaceous habitats, ground cover will be monitored using the point frame
method. Point frames will be sampled at approximately 25-foot intervals along each
monitoring transect. Each point frame consists of a one-meter square wire grid with 25
cross points. Any plant species directly below a cross point will be recorded, including bare
ground. Each cross point represents four percent of the square meter. Water depths will
also be recorded at each sampling station. For each sampling station, identified species will
be listed and percent cover computed and discussed.

#05CEM1481 Revised 08/02/19
5.2 Wildlife Monitoring
Regular observations of wildlife will be made during the monitoring event by qualified
ecologists. Observations will consist of recording evidence and sign of wildlife (i.e., direct
sightings, vocalizations, burrows, nests, tracks, droppings, etc.).
5.3 Fish and Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Monitoring
Qualitative sampling of fish and aquatic macroinvertebrates will be conducted using a
standard D-frame aquatic dip net with mesh size of one millimeter. Sampling will be
conducted along vegetation monitoring transects with a minimum of two centimeters of
standing water. The collector will work the net vigorously within the vegetation, open
water, and surficial bottom sediments. Net contents will be placed in a white pan and sorted
with forceps. Hard substrate, if any, will also be examined for the presence of aquatic
macroinvertebrates. Sampling will continue until no new species are encountered for ten
minutes. Sample size and collection times will not exceed 200 organisms or one hour,
respectively. Samples will be preserved in alcohol, returned to the laboratory, and
identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible. When possible, fish will be identified in
the field and released.
5.4 Photographic Documentation
Permanent fixed-point photograph stations will be established along each vegetation
monitoring transect to provide physical documentation of the condition and appearance of
the restoration area, as well as any changes taking place within it. Monitoring photographs
will accompany vegetation data in each report. Locations of photograph stations will
remain the same throughout the duration of the monitoring program.
5.5 Monitoring Wells and Rainfall Data
Hydrologic monitoring for the farm field restoration areas will include the installation of
three continuous recording monitoring wells. These monitoring wells will be set to record
hydrologic data on a daily basis. Monitoring well data will be downloaded once every three
months and will be summarized in the annual monitoring reports along with available
rainfall data for the area.
6.0 MONITORING REPORTS
Annual monitoring reports will be submitted to the County documenting the success of the
restoration program and general condition of the restoration areas. The monitoring reports will
include the following information:
• Brief description of restoration and management activities performed since the previous
report along with a discussion of any modifications to the restoration or maintenance
program.
