They're both LDC amendments. I think it's probably going to be a pretty short meeting in that regard. And then the 18th, we haven't had any petition, so we have reserved that as canceled. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. And absences for December 4th? COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Yes, I will not be attending. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Will not be attending.

It's going to be the 15th of July -- or January, sorry. Page 2 of 48 Page 6 of 1180 November 20, 2025 CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: So we're pushing January to July. Got it. Thank you. That will work. All right. I guess -- I guess for that one on the 4th we're going to have to see if the Chair will be here, then. I'll be here. I mean, it will work. The 18th -- no, the 18th we don't have any petitions for right now. MR. BOSI: The 18th is canceled. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: The 18th is canceled. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Oh, it is canceled? MR.

Then the -- there were two LDC amendments on the summary agenda, and they were approved. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: All right. No Chairman's report, no consent agenda. ***That brings us into our first item. PL20230012851, Golden Gate Worship Center — Golden Gate -- 5890 Golden Gate Parkway along -- we're doing this as a companion, correct? MR. BOSI: Yes. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: PL2023001050, Golden Gate Worship Center. All those wishing to testify or speak on this matter, please stand and be sworn in. THE COURT REPORTER: Do you swear or affirm the testimony you will give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Disclosures. Start with Mrs. Lockhart. Start from the right today. MS. LOCKHART: Staff materials only. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Mr. Yovanovich. I talked to him on the phone. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Staff materials and site visit. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Staff materials only. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Staff materials only. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Staff materials only. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Staff materials and spoke with Mike Bosi. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Mr. Yovanovich, you have the floor, sir. MR. YOVANOVICH: Thank you. Good morning. For the record, Rich Yovanovich on behalf of the petitioner and applicants for both petitions. It was easier when we just used the visualizer. With me today is the pastor of the church; Mr. Arnold; Jim Banks is our traffic consultant; and Marco Espinar is our environmental consultant. Page 3 of 48 Page 7 of 1180 November 20, 2025 You have before you two petitions pertaining to a parcel of property located on Golden Gate Parkway. Because this property is within the Golden Gate Estates, if you go to the Land Development Code to rely upon what you're allowed to do on the property in the Estates zoning district, you're going to be in trouble because the Land Development Code says in Estates zoning districts churches are conditional uses. Unless you practice in Collier County and know that there's a special provision that applies to Golden Gate Estates applicable to churches that basically say you can only have churches under limited circumstances in Estates -zoned property, you're not going to know that you have to do a Growth Management Plan Amendment. And unfortunately for my client, they received a zoning verification letter from Collier County -- you have it in your backup material -- that says, "The property is zoned Estates. You need to do -- you need to get a conditional use for the church." They bought the property. Came to me. I said, "I'm happy to represent you. I'll do it pro bono, but guess what? You need a Growth Management Plan Amendment." So we were a little bit surprised that they were not allowed to move forward under the Growth Management Plan. They had to also do a Growth Management Plan Amendment. So we're here today for a Growth Management Plan Amendment and a conditional -use application on this piece of property because of a policy -- and you read that in your staff report -- that says basically along Golden Gate Parkway, no more conditional uses. So when you look at the staff report -- and Mr. Arnold will get up here and take you through the site plan -- it's not a compatibility issue. It's not an intensity -of -use issue for the property. It's purely there's a policy in the Growth Management Plan that basically says no more conditional uses along Golden Gate Parkway in this area. Otherwise, staff would recommend approval but for the policy. So it's a policy decision, and you're to make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners, on this piece of property does it make sense to waive the policy prohibiting conditional uses on this piece of property. Now, Golden Gate Parkway, we all have traveled it. We travel it a lot. It's evolved over the years. It's now basically a six -lane road. There already are a number of nonresidential uses on the properties right near us. In fact, we have the Able Academy immediately to our east. We have a single-family home next to us. That individual, I think, is here and is in favor of the petition, and we have a host, as you can see, of other uses in the immediate vicinity of what we're proposing to do. So from a -- from a compatibility standpoint and other uses in the area, I think our proposed small church makes sense as a limited application of waiving the policy. Now, I know people will accuse me and others of "once one petition is approved, that sets the precedent for others." I'm sure Heidi will tell you that's not true. Each petition is viewed on its own merits. Just because a church goes here doesn't mean you have to give a church on every piece of property that's located along this corridor. So what we're asking for is a very limited small-scale Comp Plan amendment for this particular piece of property to allow for a church on the site. It's already been determined to be compatible by your staff. It's already been determined to be not too intense by your staff. We're just here because of the change we need to the Growth Management Plan. We're -- this is the Comp Plan language where we're adding that this particular piece of property is allowed to have a conditional use for a church. That's the Comprehensive Plan language that you're going to be considering. It's a 6,000-square-foot church and 4,000 square foot -- what's that? -- fellowship hall. Now, initially the church is going to simply modify the existing residence for the church uses. This is -- we don't want it to have to come back in the future should the church ultimately get to what they hope to be their full potential and have to come back and amend. So we're asking for all those uses now. But right now the intention is to just modify the existing residence for the use. They're already worshiping in Golden Gate City, but they want to be Page 4 of 48 Page 8 of 1180 November 20, 2025 in a stand-alone facility near where their worshipers reside. That's why this location was chosen for the church. These are the existing Future Land Use Map designations. We are in the Golden Gate -- the Urban Golden Gate Estates future land -use district on the property. I think we have an exhibit that Wayne will take you through that will show you pretty much all -- I'm going to go back -- all of the commercial that's near here. If you go to -- you're all familiar with the corner of Santa Barbara and Golden Gate Parkway. You have commercial on the northwest corner, you have a church on the southwest corner, and you have commercial on the northeast corner, and you have commercial on the southeast corner. We're not far from that intersection. I don't know -- if you've driven on Golden Gate Parkway, I don't think you -- I think you would agree that a single-family home on that road now is probably not the best use of the property. There are single-family homes, obviously, on Golden Gate Parkway, but my guess is they were there when Golden Gate Parkway was a very different -looking road at the time. With that, I'm going to turn it over to Wayne to take you through the site plan and more of the details. And at the end we're going to ask that you recommend approval of the Growth Management Plan Amendment as well as recommend approval of the conditional use. Those are the general overview comments. And if you have questions of me, I'm here to answer them; otherwise, I'll turn it over to Mr. Arnold. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: You have one right now, Mr. Yovanovich. Commissioner Colucci. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: What was the rationale for the Growth Management Plan not allowing any more conditional uses? MR. YOVANOVICH: I think in the old days, back when I was a young assistant county attorney and after that, it was difficult to get conditional uses approved in residential urban areas, and the easiest thing to do was to go out to Golden Gate Estates and, thus, you could see that there's a number of conditional uses on Golden Gate Parkway. And the concern was that Golden Gate Estates became the area that conditional uses were going to instead of going through the process of dealing with these changes in the urban area. There was also a cost factor for land associated with all that. So the Commission said, you know what, we don't want Golden Gate Estates to be the only area where these are going to be located. So they put this prohibition in the code to prevent conditional uses. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: So that area right now, that small area, is pretty well urbanized right now. MR. YOVANOVICH: Yes. And I think it's changed quite a bit. I think this policy predates the interchange going into -- but I may be wrong on that, or it's around the same time that the interchange -- I know they prohibited commercial at the interchange, but I think -- I think -- MR. BOSI: And, Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. And Rich is right, the proliferation of nonresidential/churches to conditional uses in the Estates is what -- is what was the motivation to put the restriction -- the location restrictions upon where conditional uses can go very tightly. But on top of the entire universe of the Rural Golden Gate Estates, it was also that interchange, the Parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara which the interchange is in the middle of. There was a restriction upon no new nonresidential uses being allowed, and that was specifically because we didn't want your traditional commercialization of the interstate interchanges along that corridor. So it's not only Golden Gate Area Master Plan that has restrictions upon conditional uses for the entire master plan, but this specific corridor has also some restrictions upon nonresidential land uses as well, and that has -- and it's to keep the traffic flow and the ingress/egress around the interchange to be as free flowing as possible. So there's a number of different things that kind of have contributed to the inability to seek a conditional use on its own but needing a GMP associated with it as well. Page 5 of 48 Page 9 of 1180 November 20, 2025 MS. ASHTON-CICKO: The County staff works closely with the residents when they go through the Golden Gate Area Master Plan studies, and they're reluctant to make changes to the Growth Management Plan because they want an opportunity for the public and the people around it to testify and be able to speak. So that's why they really haven't made too many changes to the Growth Management Plan, you know, since its original inception. MR. ARNOLD: Any other questions before Wayne comes up? (No response.) CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Mr. Arnold. MR. ARNOLD: Good morning, Mr. Chairman and Planning Commission members. I'm Wayne Arnold, a certified planner with Grady Minor & Associates, and here representing the congregation. And Rich did a good job summarizing, and I think what this comes down to is really is this an appropriate location to make a policy modification for allowance of a church. And this slide, I think, says a lot. And when you look at all that's going on, immediately next to us is Able Academy. That's a school for special -needs children. We're showing a future interconnect to them on our site plan. So on our plan, access will continue to be from Golden Gate Parkway shifting the access. If you made a site visit, it's kind of an awkward turn, and what we would do is relocate the access point father east to the property utilizing a turn lane that already exists for the Able Academy, in part. We're showing a future stub -out to Able Academy. We did meet with them early on in the process. We talked about sharing their access that's existing and then connecting at the same location here for us. They were reluctant just not knowing exactly the function of our church and the hours of operation and how it might interact with them, but they were open to us having a future interconnection, so that's why we've shown that. There's an existing 2,100-square-foot home on the property today. They would utilize that essentially as it is, retrofitting the interior and modifying the exterior, and I'll show you some -- a little bit of those modifications. But like Rich said, this is a lengthy and costly process for a small congregation church to go through. So we've made provisions for them to grow the building up to 6,000 square feet. We originally proposed 7,000, backed that down to 6,000, and then we made provisions for an outbuilding that exists today. It's about a thousand square feet. That could be utilized immediately as meeting space for them perhaps or a small gathering space, but we would grow that to potentially up to 4,000 square feet for a fellowship hall. So you can see we've got a lot of grass parking shown, as allowed to do for churches, that help soften everything. Staff asked us to provide, instead of the 15-foot-wide landscape buffer that would otherwise be required, a 25-foot-wide enhanced buffer. So you'll see that as one of our conditions of approval for the conditional use, and we agreed to do that. So that would include additional vegetation to shield the neighbor whose home is aligned approximately, you know, almost immediately due west of us. They do have an outbuilding toward the rear of the property, and we propose nothing but some grass parking and maybe future overflow parking and something back there. But the site, as it sits today, will function very well for the church. They're proposing a 200-seat-maximum sanctuary. And again, that is the site plan we're proposing. Here's a proposed floor plan. You can see that the main entrance to the house exists in this vicinity today. They would do interior renovations, put in a small stage area, pulpit, and then obviously some maybe pews. It may be chair seating, but depicted there. One feature, there's a pool that exists today that could be used for baptisms, et cetera. It may get filled in in the future, which would allow them to grow the building footprint to the south. Very modest renovations needed for the exterior. These are all four sides that they had a contractor help them develop. So again, the front elevation is this one. You can see that it's still Page 6 of 48 Page 10 of 1180 November 20, 2025 very small in scale and looks very much in keeping with the home that's there today. We have conditions of approval, 10 of them. Pretty standard. I'm not going to go through each one of them, but we have hours of operation. We have a lighting condition. No outdoor amplified sound permitted, no private daycare or school outside of the care of children during congregation services. So I think, as Rich mentioned, this really is a policy decision. I think if you read staffs conditional -use staff report, they recommend approval subject to these conditions except for the fact we need the Comp Plan amendment as well. The Comp Plan amendment, we would say this is a soft denial because staff is using the policy that exists today as the basis for not supporting it, and they're leaving that to you and the Board to make that decision. I'm going back to the other slide, because, again, this one -- we're a low traffic generator, off-peak hours, six -lane highway. They're going to bring in water service from the Naples Bridge Center that's immediately across the street. On that, we did a conditional use, and they also were given an exception to expand their facility a few years ago. I'm not sure any of you were on the Planning Commission for that. But I represented the Bridge Center and brought them through that process so they could expand and modernize their facility. So that was one of the exceptions to the same policy that was adopted by the Board. Across the street, and very much under construction, is the David Lawrence Center mental health facility -- sorry, right there. And if you've been out there, I mean, they're moving fast, and it's under construction. And I have a slide I can put on the visualizer that's just a photograph of the construction activity that's occurring. But again, so when you look at these, I mean, I think the horse is already out of the barn with regard to conditional uses. And I do appreciate Mike's comments about the nonresidential, and I think that was really driven by the fact that the County Commission did not want this to be a commercialized interchange. I think Rich may have represented them at one time, but RaceTrac gas station was very anxious to build a facility here, and they've been living with that policy, and it's never been the right time to try to amend that policy to allow a gas station, but we think that's certainly different to allow a 200-seat small congregation church to be on this location. One of the other things that we've looked at, and your staff asked us and said, "With all the facilities that are available in Collier County, you mean you can't find another church location?" So the church today is located in Golden Gate City. They're in a strip plaza. There's no outdoor recreational space. There's no space for a fellowship hall. There's no space to grow, so they're looking to grow their small congregation that's 100 people up to maybe 200 people or 200 per service at a 200-seat facility. So they looked at several sites. And the pastor happens to be a real estate -- Realtor. So he knows the market and knows how to look at a transaction. But commercial sites on Rattlesnake Hammock Road, they're outparcels to a shopping center. I mean, they're back in the same situation that they were. They looked off of Sabal Palm Road near the Sabal Palm Road project that you -all have heard by the orange grove and determined that, one, it was too far, too remote, and too costly to develop because the site had some wetlands on it. There are other sites in the Parkway near the interchange. There's -- but that site was really too small and didn't allow for any growth of the existing single-family home. That's on the northwest quadrant of the interchange. There's an old model home that sat there, but now it has a frontage road and also part of the ramp for Golden Gate Parkway interchange. It's squeezed in terms of its ability to grow anything, so we just determined that it was too small. There was another site that you -all recently approved in the past year on Collier Boulevard at 13th. FP&L bought a portion of that property and created a new substation expansion, but you -all approved that site recently for an indoor self -shortage facility, and that's under construction. So a lot of the sites that they looked at are not viable and available. Staff also produces and has published this exhibit. It's in one of your Golden Gate Master Page 7 of 48 Page 11 of 1180 November 20, 2025 Plan exhibits, and it highlights all the locations that are potentially available for conditional uses. So I went to every one of those sites and analyzed them for the church, and just the one I would highlight, again, is the one I pointed out, the one at 13th on Collier Boulevard. That's supposedly permissive for a conditional use, but it's going to be a self -storage facility. So this map was produced and hasn't been updated for well over 10 years. So in 10 years a lot of has happened in Golden Gate, and most of these sites don't work. And it's a little bit complex because we have three different plans for Golden Gate. We have the Urban Estates, we have the Rural Estates, and we have Golden Gate City, and they all carry with them some distinctions. But in this area you can have conditional uses that are in an activity center. You can have some that qualify because they're adjacent to certain other uses, or you can have others that are considered transitional. And there are criteria with them. And when I started looking at a lot of these sites, to qualify for a transitional conditional use, for instance, you have to have a 50-foot-wide buffer on some of those sites. Well, some of those sites are 75-feet wide. You can't put a 50-foot-wide buffer in and still develop a 75-foot-wide site. So we did this analysis, and I think staff concurred with us that from these exhibits that have been produced by the County, there are no sites that really qualify for -- that could be suitable for a church unless you came through some other process, because I can't ask for a deviation or a variance unless I file separately for a variance, and that comes with it a whole separate set of requirements. So, you know, we're here saying that we've really done a good job analyzing this. And of all of sites that we've found, this one seems to make a lot of sense. I think unless the neighbors changed their mind in the last 24 hours, the neighbor has been supportive. The buffering is good. The scale of this building's going to be small. In the Estates you're limited to a 30 feet height limit. We've put in a buffer that's larger than is required by code, and we think those other conditions will safeguard our neighbor and still make this a very compatible use. Jim Banks is here. He did the traffic analysis. It's a minuscule amount of traffic generation that occurs with a 200-seat church, and especially when you consider that those are off-peak hours. They'll have an evening service during the week. They'll have potentially a Saturday or Sunday service. Those are all off-peak hours, so you don't really have additional impacts to Golden Gate Parkway. So for those factors, we think that this all makes perfect sense to allow the exception in this one location. So with that, I'll be happy to answer questions. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Mr. Arnold, if I can just ask you a question. When you say there's no other properties available, there is a church property that is available that's stuck in between two churches. That would be one that we did approve a couple years ago that's now up for sale. It would be right between No. 13 and 26 along 951. It would be subject -- let's see. You've got an "E" marking on. Was that property not considered? MR. ARNOLD: I did analyze that one. And I believe that that carried with -- it's one of those requirements where it had these large buffer requirements. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: So it would be too small? MR. ARNOLD: It would be too small. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Okay. Thank you. I just want to make sure we're dotting all of our I's and crossing all our Ts. I don't see any questions. Anybody have any questions? COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: I've got a question. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Go ahead. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: A couple questions. I don't see anything about your lighting, parking lot lighting. What kind of parking lot lighting are you doing? MR. ARNOLD: We don't have details -- we don't have details of the parking lot lighting, but we do have a condition that's condition number -- it's No. 3. So at that time we're going to Page 8 of 48 Page 12 of 1180 November 20, 2025 illustrate that the lighting will reduce light spillage beyond the property lines. Parking, outdoor area lighting should be required to utilize cutoff fixtures in order to reduce glare to the neighboring properties. If the parking lot lighting is located within 100 feet of an existing residential dwelling, the lighting shall be limited to 15 feet in height and shall use full cutoff fixtures. MR. YOVANOVICH: That's your -- commonly referred to as the Dark Skies standards pretty much. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Yeah. I mean, I would just -- I would just say that I think all the lights should be limited to 15 -- because it's in a residential area, all the lighting should be reduced to 15-foot in height and 3,000 K bulbs to be lighting fixtures. MR. YOVANOVICH: Okay. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: And my other question is: It looks like the Able Academy has a turning lane onto their -- onto their property. Is there any way of extending that turning lane so you guys could have more -- so there would be more of a less disruptive stop going into the church? MR. ARNOLD: Yes, we think that the County, when we get in for the Site Development Plan review, they will probably -- we'll do a more detailed traffic analysis, and probably that will tell us we need to extend that turn lane at least across the frontage of our property. It extends partially across our property today, but it would be extended to the west to accommodate traffic flow. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: (No response.) CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: No further questions. Thank you. No other questions? Staff? MR. ARNOLD: Thank you. MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. As mentioned by the applicant, staff is not supporting the Growth Management Plan based upon the prohibition of the no new nonresidential land uses. Staff does recognize, and it was mentioned that this policy has been breached before for the David Lawrence Center recently as well as the expansion of the Bridge Center. So there have been projects that have been deemed -- that provide enough public benefit to provide the justification before. Staff wasn't -- staff didn't feel a church of 6,000 square feet was that communal public benefit that was going to be provided to go against the existing policy for no new nonresidential land uses; therefore, that's why staff is recommending denial on it. And another issue -- and I just want -- there's another -- I just want to show an example of another reason why we are not in 100 percent support is related to -- there's more than one -- there's more than one zoning district that allows churches, and every one of the site locations that were focused upon were the Estates zoning district. And Estates -- and any residential zoning district within Collier County would allow for a church as a conditional use without the need for a Growth Management Plan. One of the things I wanted to point out within the staff report, I believe it's -- I'll get down to the page. The -- Golden Gate downtown commercial subdistrict, this area here, which is only about a mile -- a half a mile to a quarter of a mile away from the existing site, allows for a church, a church within -- a church within this proximity here, and there's a PUD as well, a commercial PUD that has commercial uses if they wanted to sit a church there, which is all vacant parcel. If they wanted to sit a church there, they could go through a comparable -use process, and they could show from a traffic standpoint, from an intensity standpoint their church would be a comparable use to the commercial uses that are allowed for; therefore, they can move forward. And further to augment that, to show you in terms of where the R -- that downtown subdistrict is all along Golden Gate Parkway from Santa Barbara to the canal. And as you can see -- and here's the area I really wanted to point. These parcels here, empty parcels, those are Residential Multifamily 6, RMF-6. A church is allowed as a conditional use. They could come in Page 9 of 48 Page 13 of 1180 November 20, 2025 and seek a conditional use at this location. So there's other options -- there's other options available, staff felt. Now, there could be pricing issues. There can be -- there can be availability issues. Staff does not look into that. Just wanted to point that out. That, in combination of the Growth Management Plan restrictions, were the motivations why staff is recommending denial. Staff does recognize that if the Planning Commission feels there's enough public benefit provided for it, that the church being proposed is of an intensity and a density and an impact to the surrounding property owners that -- or surrounding property within this area that's very complimentary, would not be a -- burdensome to the infrastructure or, I think, incompatible with any of the adjoining uses. The church use as itself is relatively benign. It has -- proposing services on Wednesday evening as well as Sunday morning, areas of nonpeak traffic, which -- when they will be active. So the impact from a transportation standpoint is de minimis. The impact from a compatibility is de minimis as well based upon the relatively benign use and the limited activities that are associated with the church. But because of the policy, we are recommending denial. If the Planning Commission does recommend approval related to the Growth Management Plan and feels that there's enough public benefit, you'll see staff has put a -- suggested a number of conditions with -- the applicant has agreed to, because we feel if we can get past the issue of the policy decision, that this church would be something that would be sitting relatively compat -- not relatively -- very compatible with the surrounding land uses within the area, and it would still be in line with the restriction of not adding commercial. Now, this is a nonresidential use because it's considered institutional, but we're not adding conditional uses -- or commercial uses, which is really where the individual subdistrict -- or restrictions between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara on Golden Gate Parkway, those were the uses we really wanted to restrict, new commercial uses, because we wouldn't want the traditional commercialization of an interchange. So for those reasons, staff is recommending denial, but if you do -- if the Planning Commission does recommend approval based upon the presentation and the overall de minimis impact of the church to the surrounding property owners, staff would recommend, and as the applicant has agreed, to the conditions of approval related to the CU within your packet. And with that, staff would answer any questions that you may have. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Before I go to you, Commissioner Sparrazza, I'm going to ask -- actually, you go first, because I might follow up with some -- COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Mike, thanks for that explanation. If in a year or two or three or, really, any amount of time down the line the church is doing amazingly well and they wish to hold other meetings on other times that are not designated here within this policy, Wednesday night and Sunday mornings, if they wanted to have an AA meeting on Tuesday nights or another sermon on Thursdays or Saturday mornings, are there any limitations to what Mr. Arnold is asking, Mr. Yovanovich is asking, and what the County will allow? I also would like to kind of just say within reason. We don't want a carnival to be held there, but if they wish to expand to help the community with other meetings that would be beneficial to the community, are there any restrictions? Just trying to look ahead and to make sure no one is boxed in. MR. BOSI: There is -- one -- as a church, as a nonresidential land use, they would be available for temporary -use permits for events such as that up to 52 times during the year they would be eligible for a conditional use or for a special -use permit. For -- in terms of if they wanted to add, like, daycare outside of the church at times, that would be something that would require a modification to the -- to the existing conditional use. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Right. I guess I was more concerned with them allowing more services to help the community, as I said, another evening, extra service. I won't quite call it a club but a gathering to continue to help the community. Page 10 of 48 Page 14 of 1180 November 20, 2025 And, Mike, I apologize. My carnival was a joke. I wasn't -- wasn't meaning that. MR. BOSI: But they would be eligible for -- I mean, churches have those as fundraising activities. They would be eligible, and those -- a conditional -- or a special -use permit requires coordinating with all the safety -service providers, coordinating with transportation. There's a lot of different restrictions that are placed upon it to make sure that there's safety that's composed with it. But as it is -- as it's proposed now, any official events and activities beyond the hours that they're providing for operations, they would not be able. Now, if it was holding a -- MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Could I jump in for a second, Mike? It's silent to renting it out to, like, the Boy Scouts or AA or any of those organizations. So it would -- I think it would be interpreted that it's allowed during 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. because there's no prohibition or limitations. MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, the hours of operation are actually Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yeah. MR. YOVANOVICH: So I agree, Boy Scouts could come use the facilities between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. That's a typical -- most -- I shouldn't say -- the churches I've attended have also had Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Some of them have AA meetings. Those are typical uses of the facilities, but they're always during the normal church hours. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Let me interject. They also rent them out for special events. You can rent them out for Quinceafiera, you can rent it out for a birthday party, wedding, those type of uses, too. MR. YOVANOVICH: Okay. The churches I've been affiliated, if you're a member of the church, yes, you can do those things, but typically they don't -- but -- I'm not saying others do, but that's not -- the intention is not to turn this into -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Revenue center, I get that. MR. YOVANOVICH: -- a convention center, I mean, to make money. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I just wanted to open it up and say -- MR. YOVANOVICH: This is -- this is going to be a church. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Item No. -- let me see here. Item No. 5, 6,000-square-foot church, 4,000 related structure. Table A shows church at 11,000 for both structures. So that's just a typo. That's on I think it's Table A in Wayne's presentation that went up. MR. YOVANOVICH: Of the presentation? Well, it's 10-. At one time it was 11-. We must not have corrected that. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: It was seven. It was seven and four. Now it's six -- MR. YOVANOVICH: Seven and four. It's six and four, yeah. If we missed that, I apologize. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I'm just proofreading for your next meeting, Rich, that's all. MR. YOVANOVICH: You're going to have to send me where that is, because I don't see that in the draft resolution, but I'll take your word for it. It may have been somewhere in an earlier rendition, but -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Got it. MR. YOVANOVICH: -- we'll make sure it doesn't carry forward. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Go through it. No outside -- so Golden Gate City has gone through a lot of transition in the last few years, especially after COVID when a lot of people were buying houses sight unseen. Golden Gate City had forever been known as a walking town. So my question to your pastor would be is how many of his parishioners are walking there versus driving? Because I do have some concern with the location is outside of kind of Golden Gate, and you've got them crossing a six -lane highway. You're either on one or two sides to get there. Page 11 of 48 Page 15 of 1180 November 20, 2025 MR. YOVANOVICH: Right now it's not limited -- there are, obviously, members that live in Golden Gate City, but it's not limited -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: You're anticipating more of a clear traffic versus -- MR. YOVANOVICH: We have people driving now, yeah. It's not -- it's not the typical, you know, walk to a church. There are people already driving to the church. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Okay. That answers my questions for right now, so -- the one question I did have for staff is did churches qualify under the Live Local Act, that you could convert a church into single-family or into multifamily housing as long as it was for affordable? MR. BOSI: Not the Live Local Act that is advertised for the commercial or industrial land -- or land uses for the conversion if you have affordable housing, but there is a provision that if you have a religious institution, you can -- you can -- a jurisdiction, Collier County, must consider the allowance for residential development if they provide a portion of that residential development for affordable housing. MR. YOVANOVICH: But it's not a matter of right. It wouldn't be a matter of right. It would be through a public process. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Can I ask the County Attorney? Is that correct? MS. ASHTON-CICKO: I believe that's correct. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Okay. That answers my questions. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Is there any public speakers? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: That's what I'm getting into next. Public speakers, please. MR. SABO: Mr. Chairman, we have two, Elizabeth Block, and she has been ceded time from Cindy Brown. Is Cindy Brown here? (Raises hand.) MR. SABO: All right. Elizabeth Block and then Maria Rosas. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: That was five minutes, so you've been ceded 10 minutes. MS. BLOCK: I'll do my best. I'm kind of nervous. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I'm sure you will. I'm sure you will. Don't worry about it. I do a horrible job up here twice a month, so... MS. BLOCK: I appreciate the questions you all asked. And when I'm finished, I would really appreciate if we could hear what those conditions are if this property was restricted to less development that Mike had mentioned. We didn't hear what those conditions are that they would impose if you were going to approve it. I have to say that I have a really great relationship with Jean Paul and his family and the people that I've seen on that property. And when they bought the property, they were talking about a small, low -intensive use of it. And I have no problem with it. I'm the next -door neighbor. I'm -- I abut this property on the western side. I do have some concerns for my own protection. Water on that property has been a problem. I bought my house in'98, and at that point in time, their property would flood four to six inches deep on the back end of it. I know that because we were riding horses back there, and -- so we were very aware of what that property did. The guy that they bought it from tried to put in an agricultural use and started bringing in roughly 50 dump trucks worth of fill so that his plants weren't getting flooded when we had our torrential rains, and then what happened is my property now has literal waterfalls coming over onto it when there's a lot of rain from the property that the church plans to build on. So if they're going to have to raise things up, bring in more fill, I need to have some kind of protection where they retain their own water. The only thing that the prior owner was able to do is he put a big pump in at the back of his property and at the middle of his property and sent the water to the swale at Golden Gate Parkway, and then Code Enforcement came along and said, "You can't do that." I liked him doing it because it stopped flooding my property from his property. Page 12 of 48 Page 16 of 1180 November 20, 2025 So this year we haven't had the kind of torrential rains that we had in the past, so I wasn't able to show Jean Paul, you know, what actually happens. But I have a real concern about that if you're building this kind of development on that property. That property has a ton of water that it holds, and the more fill that's come in there, the more it's being dumped on my property. So I would ask that you somehow protect me with conditions for that. The light pollution, thank you for asking about that. I love walking outside and seeing the stars. I just want to make sure that whatever goes in next door isn't taking that away. I don't know how this would impact my property value, but I have no problem with their first intent to build and remodel and a small expansion, but when you're talking 6,000 and 4,000 square feet plus parking for 200 people, I don't see how that's going to work. There's very little parking available there right now. Maybe 10 cars can park there. I just -- I don't know what that's going to -- this is going to do to my property value. I would hope that they would have to come back to ask for the 6,000 and 4,000. I have no problem with the expansion they want to do right now where they're fixing up the house of 2,000 square feet and using the shed that was built with agricultural zoning, so it didn't go through the permit process. But they want to take that and put stucco on it and turn it into a fellowship hall. I love the idea. I think it's great for them. And I have no problem. They've been very respectful neighbors. But when you start going 6,000 and 4,000 square feet, it's a massive change on that property, and I just don't know that it's fair to put a reservation in now for something you want to do in the future, because who knows who's going to end up owning the property at that point in time. If it's them, I think we'll have a good working relationship, but what if somebody else ends up owning the property and wanting to change the use? You mentioned something that I didn't even know about that some of these properties can be converted to multifamily housing. That's a really scary thought. Water, you guys addressed it, would be coming from across the street at the Bridge Center. Sewer was -- what's the deal with sewer on this property? I would love it if maybe Mike could address that later. Electricity, how are you going to power these buildings? Are you going to start putting power poles down the property between me and them, or how do you provide electricity to something like this? That wasn't mentioned in any of the meetings that we've had. That's about all I've got. I just -- I want to say they've been great neighbors, and I would welcome them to have their church there. I just don't think it's fair to reserve the possibility of expanding without restriction at some point in the future. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you for your comment. You did great. MS. BLOCK: Thank you. COMMISSIONER SHEA: She's been here before. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Commissioner Shea. COMMISSIONER SHEA: She's been here. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Oh, okay. Commissioner Shea. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Just an easy question. You're on the west side adjacent. Who's west of you? MS. BLOCK: West of me is a private property owned by Mark Fields and his daughter. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay. There's another church on that side. Is it farther down or some -- MS. BLOCK: If you're continuing to go west toward the interchange, you have a vacant property that is owned by the church that is one property west of that, so you have -- so next to this property you have me, Mark Fields and his daughter, a vacant property, and then the church, Manantial de Vida, and then you're at the intersection of 60th. Page 13 of 48 Page 17 of 1180 November 20, 2025 CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. And we'll dig into your questions when we get into rebuttal. MS. BLOCK: Thanks. Appreciate it. MR. SABO: Next speaker, Maria Rojas. MS. ROJAS: Hi. My name is Maria Rojas. I'm in the neighborhood of where all this changing is being done. I'm back and forth from the East Coast and Naples. I live in 63rd Street close to the 75. And I was in Bosta (phonetic) when I saw a letter saying that it's -- in Golden Gate Parkway they're going to turn two and a half or three acres into multifamily home. It's affordable housing. I got scared, because I'm building a house right on Golden Gate Parkway, and it's Button Lane and $3 million home. And I was -- and I get approved all the plans, and then now it's going to be another church over here. And I own a property in 64. I think Arnold mentioned is in -- right next to 64 is a church. I wonder if this church is moving to the new facility that they're going to be open on Golden Gate Parkway, or is this a different church? MR. ARNOLD: It's a different church. MS. ROJAS: It's a different church. So the church that I have in there, I'm going -- I think it is vacant for a while. I don't know what is the future of that. Is somebody allowed to have one, two, three church, or if that license for that church is going to somewhere, are they going to sell it, or what they're going to do with the property? And when I saw the map, I thought this church next to me and 64th is the same one -- the same owner they're going to build on Golden Gate Parkway and I guess, is that -- no. Okay. So that was -- and I thought, too, there were -- I came for the meeting. I thought there was a meeting, too, for the multifamily housing that they're going to be in Golden Gate Parkway because I have not knowledge of what's going on, what is the plan. MS. BLOCK: That was last week, a neighborhood information meeting. MS. ROJAS: Yeah, just -- it's information. Nothing's going on yet. So that's why I say I'm going to stay until everything is going on in here. So I don't have no issues, you know, with the church having in -- we need a church, you know. We need church in every neighborhood. So a church I welcome, you know. That's where we go, and, you know, we sit down, pray, and talk when we need to talk to up there. And so the only thing is they have to make sure, you know, all the neighbor -- because they have a -- this is single -family -home neighborhood, so they have to make sure neighbor on the left and the right -- you know, pretty much that's the people they're going to hurt more because -- or they're going to be happy, so I don't know, but they have to make sure everybody be on the same page, you know, and they approve and they -- and, you know, we're able to get no -- no bad feelings in between church and neighbors so when they do whatever they do and they allowed to do so they don't have the County coming and do, oh, the church or that because this in here is so typical. Anybody can call, and they can come in to tell you whatever because you don't have the freedom in your home to do things, you know. And so this is -- I was scared because when it's 64, I thought that's the church is moving to Golden Gate Parkway. I guess it's not. So I'm going to have the church next to me because I own -- so I -- when I put my name, I thought I'm coming for the multifamily affordable housing because across the street is -- I'm going to have -- the house that I'm building is almost two, three thousand -- I mean, 2, $3 million home, so I need to know what type of housing are we talking about; what kind of affordable, you know, is. But I don't have no questions. I think I came in the wrong meeting, but I'm glad I came to hear what's going on, and I don't -- you know, church, they're welcome everywhere, you know, but -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Just not across the street from me again. Ms. Rojas, real quick, you said you're on 63rd? Page 14 of 48 Page 18 of 1180 November 20, 2025 MS. ROJAS: Yes. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Okay. So you've got -- the Center Point Community Church is right there on the corner. That's -- MS. ROJAS: Yes. I have right on the corner, yeah. Go around my house, yes. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Okay. Gotcha. Excellent. MS. ROJAS: And I have -- on the 64, that is not working church, is that, 64? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I'm not sure they know. MS. ROJAS: You mention in there, there was -- can you able to put all the churches you have, like -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: No. That's -- I appreciate it, but when we get to that affordable one, I look forward to seeing you there. MS. ROJAS: All right. No, no, no. The church, there is a church on 64. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Okay. MS. ROJAS: Right there on 64th Street. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: All right. MS. ROJAS: That is right next to me. I own another property right there, but there's nothing going on in there. It's not working. It's closed. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I gotcha. It's closed down? MS. ROJAS: Yes. But the church, I thought that was the church is moving because you mentioned there is only small churches only for 100 people, and now they're doing the other church for 200 people. I thought that was the same church that they're moving from 64th to Golden Gate Parkway, so, yeah. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. MS. ROJAS: Okay. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: And we'll see you at the next meeting. MS. ROJAS: Okay. MR. SABO: No further public speakers. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Excellent. Rich. MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, in response to the concern about water management, we will actually improve the water management right now because right now it's a free flow of water. When we go through and get our Site Development Plan approved, we'll actually have to have a water management system to keep our water on our site and discharge it at the county's location and at an appropriate discharge rate. So the water management will actually be better than it is today if the church goes through and the church gets improved. I think she wanted us to put the conditions up. These are all of the conditions that are applicable to the property. We didn't read them all, but, one, we've got to get state and federal permits, which I just mentioned one of them, which was getting Water Management District. It's limited to the master plan area. The lighting, as modified, will be Dark Skies, and they'll all be 15-foot elevation. The hours of operation we went through. The size of the church is 6,000 square feet and the 4,000-square-foot structure. We're going to have to bring that 1,000-foot structure up to whatever the habitable standards are if it's going to be a habitable facility. So it's not going to be just simply, you know, going in and using that facility. If we're going to turn it into something that requires modifications under the building code, we'll go in, and we'll have to make those modifications under the building code. Where are we getting sewer? MR. ARNOLD: We're not. MR. YOVANOVICH: So we're doing septic? So we are doing septic for our -- for sewer, but we are getting county water, or water from -- off of Golden Gate Parkway. If there's significant traffic generation, we have that same condition that every other church has, we have to have a police officer or traffic control there should there become a traffic -related Page 15 of 48 Page 19 of 1180 November 20, 2025 issue with parishioners coming to church. So we have that typical condition; that's there. We have -- as you can see, it's such a low traffic generator, it's 20 p.m. peak -hour trips during the peak. That's not a lot of -- that's not a lot of traffic. That's probably -- So we cannot have a private school or daycare other than daycare associated with services. So that's typically a concern about traffic generation. We're not going to have that on this facility. No outdoor amplified music. And then we have the -- Wayne did take you through the buffer on the westernmost -- the additional buffer that we're going to have there. So again, we've looked at this as to what may happen should the church expand. You have a Site Development Plan that's associated with this. The traffic impacts are already determined. They're limited. The light is limited. The impact on the hours of operation are all limited. It doesn't get any bigger than 200 parishioners at any one time, whether it's in 2,000, 4,000, or 6,000 square foot. So we think that, you know, all the -- all the testimony has been that it's compatible with the neighborhood. The only reason we're here for the Growth Management Plan Amendment is because of that policy; otherwise, as Mike pointed out, churches are conditional uses pretty much anywhere. You just don't want a church on every piece of property. So you go through a review. Predominantly it's a compatibility review when you go through a conditional -use review process. And all the testimony from the expert planners is this is compatible. It is not a negative impact to the neighborhood. I hope we have addressed the neighbor's concerns about water management and lighting and all that to where she'll have the quiet, peaceful enjoyment of the home that she experiences now. And should Pastor Paul no longer be the pastor and it's a different church, they're going to have to live with the same conditions. You can't go from a church to a commercial or retail use. You can't go from a church to a multifamily use without, one, amending the Growth Management Plan, and two, changing the zoning on the property, which will all require the public -hearing process just like we have today with the same notification requirements. So this church can't sneak other uses in. The use is -- the Estates use is single-family and a church. That's what can go on this site. Nothing else. So there is -- there are guarantees that this is not going to evolve into something else without going through a public -hearing process. And I'm sorry the lady came for the multifamily project. That's not here before you today. I didn't even know anything about that project, but anyway... CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: But I'm looking like a Christmas tree over here right now, so hold on a second. I'll go with Commissioner Shea, Commissioner Colucci, and then Commissioner McLeod. COMMISSIONER SHEA: It's actually a question for Mike. The conditions of approval up on the screen, you agree with those? MR. BOSI: Yes. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Those are your conditions as well, right? MR. BOSI: Those were arrived upon through -- COMMISSIONER SHEA: But that's part of your recommendation is -- MR. BOSI: Correct, correct. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Okay. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Commissioner Colucci. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Is county sewage not accessible? MR. YOVANOVICH: It's not there. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: You said something about the septic system. MR. YOVANOVICH: That's -- all of Golden Gate Estates has septic. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Okay. All right. Thank you. MR. YOVANOVICH: So it's very expensive to extend sewer. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: So it's not -- it's not available? Page 16 of 48 Page 20 of 1180 November 20, 2025 MR. YOVANOVICH: It's not readily available, no, sir. COMMISSIONER COLUCCL• All right. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Commissioner McLeod. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: And that's a concern of mine, too, because as you all know, I keep bringing this up, you know, is there availability for sewer? And at the last meeting, it was like, "Oh, yeah, Michelle, no, there's all -- there's accessibility for this," and then here we go with another septic. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: How is water available and not sewer? COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Good question. MR. BOSI: Within this corridor -- and unfortunately I don't have Anthony Stolts here. Within this corridor -- and we learned this during the Hope Home Planning Commission meeting -- there's no capacity within the wastewater. Wastewater is at maximum capacity, so there's no ability to tap into the wastewater. There's ability -- there's potable water where it's available. There's no wastewater available. So based upon that, that's why we would allow for the utilization of septic. MR. YOVANOVICH: Right. And it's no different than what Temple Shalom did. Remember a few years back we came through for the expansion of Temple Shalom and the Jewish Federation building? They're on septic. They're in Golden Gate Estates, but they're on -- they're on water. They connected to water, but they're on septic. It's very expensive to bring sewer to bigger -parcel lots. The assessment for those individuals would be a big number. COMMISSIONER SHEA: What is David Lawrence at? What do they have; septic? MR. YOVANOVICH: I don't think they have septic. I don't think so. COMMISSIONER SHEA: So it is nearby. MR. BOSI: I believe -- no, the David Lawrence Center is required for it. Because of the capacity, the size, the demands associated with it, they are on potable and septic -- or not septic, but wastewater. COMMISSIONER SHEA: So public wastewater is nearby. MR. YOVANOVICH: But it's not -- COMMISSIONER SHEA: Not big enough? MR. YOVANOVICH: Yeah. We can't -- it's not accessible to us. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: It's tapped out for the area. MR. YOVANOVICH: This really is a small use. You know, it could -- a septic system is not -- is really not an issue for this size church. We're -- the David Lawrence Center, totally different use. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: So I have a couple more questions. So, Mike, at the last meeting we talked about how Golden Gate City in the fixture has plans to go with sewer. So -- at the last meeting we talked about how Golden Gate City has a plan to go to sewer. MR. BOSI: Yes. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: When that happens, then is there capacity for a property like this? How far out of the city do you take that? MR. BOSI: And once again, that would be a question that our utility department could answer with more specificity. But I would say that if -- when that project starts for the septic -- or the conversion within Golden Gate City, the capacity within the Golden Gate Parkway area will have to be increased to be able to handle the additional loads because it's all interconnected. Our sewer systems -- the sewer system isn't individual block by block. It's an all -interconnected system. So because of that -- to be able to handle the additional capacity of all the additional homes within -- within Golden Gate City that eventually will get transitioned, they will have to have a much greater capacity within the overall system, so it will be addressed as part of that. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay. Right. And I -- MR. YOVANOVICH: And I understand the concern. And I hate to offer conditions, but, you know, if they ever build a sewer line that fronts our property, we're happy -- that has capacity, Page 17 of 48 Page 21 of 1180 November 20, 2025 we're happy to tap in. To extend to sewer -- let's just imagine the David Lawrence Center actually had capacity. That's a $200,000 connection fee. That's a huge number. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Right. MR. YOVANOVICH: So if -- but if you have the sewer line with capacity in front of us, we'll tap in. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Can we make that a condition, then? MR. YOVANOVICH: I just offered it up. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Oh, thank you. So that's one thing. Also, the neighbor to the west had mentioned concerns about parking. There's only 10 spots currently on there. Can you tell me how many members are at the church now? MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, we're -- again -- whoops, I went the wrong way. I could have Mr. Arnold come up here. But there will be site plan improvements to add parking. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Right. But I mean, currently -- we don't know when that will happen. I'm sure there has to be fundraising to build the buildings and... MR. ARNOLD: So, again, Wayne Arnold. The County requires three parking spaces per seven seats for a church. So before they could open even with any capacity for a church, whether it's, you know, today at 80 people, let's say, they still have to provide parking that meets code for those, and that requires them to put in handicap accessible parking, internal circulation for them. The one advantage we do have, we are allowed for a church to have a larger percent of grass parking. We have paved drive aisles or stabilized aisles, but we can have grass parking. So that helps soften, you know, the parking as well. So we'll have drive aisles that are highlighted in here, for instance, in dark gray, but we also have provisions for all these other little open parking spaces. Those would be grass parking. I'm sure -- we've been to a lot of different churches around where they have grass parking. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Yeah. How many members at the church right now? MR. ARNOLD: I think it's under a hundred. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: And so how many parking spaces would that be, then? If you have 100 chairs or -- MR. ARNOLD: I'll do the math. MR. YOVANOVICH: It goes into 100 -- COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Fifteen times. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: So 15 parking spots. MR. ARNOLD: Three per seven. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Will already be put in -- MR. YOVANOVICH: So that would be 45 spaces. If we had 105 people, it would be 45 required parking spaces. So we have to upgrade the parking. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: So from the get -go, you're going to have to identify 45 parking spots. MR. ARNOLD: That's correct. MR. YOVANOVICH: Correct. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: And you have it in the plan and -- MR. ARNOLD: Well, the plan is going to have to be consistent generally with this plan that's on the computer screen. So that would be the arrangement of parking. We made some provisions for existing parking in front of the house, which would be in front of the church, and then the balance of it sort of goes along the side. We're trying to soften that, obviously, for the immediate neighbor, too. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Yeah. I was just concerned for that neighbor. I didn't want to see parking, like, everywhere, maybe even encroaching in her space. MR. YOVANOVICH: You can see it where it's on the arrow, so you can see it's basically next to the school. Page 18 of 48 Page 22 of 1180 November 20, 2025 COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay. But again, my concern was, like, overparking and encroaching, so, if you can -- MR. ARNOLD: What I would say -- COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Yes. MR. ARNOLD: What I would say, having dealt with a lot of churches in my career, they typically, one, don't have the funding to put in a lot of extra parking spaces. It's expensive. Obviously, we do have some churches that have large, large congregations. But I mean, we're talking a congregation that's about 100 today, and they want to grow that. And, yeah, they will have to provide the parking that's required by code for that. And I don't think they'll be providing excess parking by much. I mean, you want to make provisions for some, but it's very expensive to put in parking lots and improvements. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: And I understand that. I just want to make sure that there's not that overflow situation. And I love grass parking because it's less impervious space -- or more impervious -- impervious space. And then there was -- the homeowner had also mentioned electricity concerns. I'm not quite sure what she was mentioning, but can you just address -- MR. ARNOLD: I took it as are we going to be extending a power line somehow between our building and hers. And, I don't know, there's electrical service to the house today, and my assumption is that will be upgraded to service the church. So I don't know -- I don't think there's any intent or any need to have some other electric corridor that would be between us. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I think the concern was it would be strung all over the property to each. You're going underground. You're taking a main meter and then going under for service. MR. ARNOLD: Generally that's what's dealt with these days, yes. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: And -- oh, just one other. She also mentioned a concern for space. These buildings are, whatever, 4,000, 6,000 square feet. I think this is a question for Mike. Would we be able to limit size of the buildings for a parcel? MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. You have every right to suggest reductions or modifications to what's being proposed. This is a conditional use. If you feel the use has a chance to encroach upon an adjoining property in a negative way and you feel that there is justification to reduce or put additional conditions, buffering, spacing, setbacks, those are the type of things that would be appropriate to suggest at the time -- at this hearing. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay. Then I'll ask my colleagues to weigh in on that. But before we do that, just with the other concerns that she had, water protection. I thought that Rich's explanation was very good. If they do tear down and build new, they'd have to abide by the new standards for water management, so that's going to help you. We want that. And then the lighting concern at 15 feet the whole way, so hopefully that will satisfy the owner, and she's nodding her head, so I'm happy to see that. Okay. So just at some point, Chair, if we could have a discussion as to the size of these facilities and -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: If you want to let Commissioner Colucci go next, and then we'll circle back with -- COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Well, I was ready to -- if there are no more questions, which I guess there are, I was ready to recommend or make a motion, but I guess I'm not ready for that. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. Yeah. So let's go back to Commissioner McLeod on that discussion on the building size. So the 4,000, 6,000. So 6,000 for the congregation, the front space, and then 4,000 for activities. Like Rich said, you have some daycare Page 19 of 48 Page 23 of 1180 November 20, 2025 in there while services are going on, different things during the day, meeting rooms. Thoughts? Questions? COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Chair, I'll start off. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Mr. Arnold, the west side buffer, on Page -- I don't know -- it's 74 in our packet, it said 15-foot-wide Type B. Was that updated? MR. ARNOLD: The condition, and what's on the site plan, it's for a 25-foot-wide buffer. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay. That's what I thought, that there was -- MR. ARNOLD: And it's upgraded to be a Type B with some additional plantings. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: All right. The initial plan was 15. You have taken upon yourselves, working with -- MR. YOVANOVICH: Staff. MR. ARNOLD: That's correct. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: -- the County to increase that to a 25-foot-wide buffer, Plan B. MR. ARNOLD: That's correct. That was a staff request, and we agreed with that. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: That certainly, in my eyes, diminishes any visual problems you may have from the neighbor on the west to see what's going on on this property with that widened landscape buffer. So I'm satisfied and would allow -- my recommendation is if the church believes this is proper square footage -- and they have reduced it from 7,000 to 6,000, the fellowship hall has remained at 4,000, that I believe they know best, and with a 25-foot-wide buffer, I believe that should make both neighbors be happy with each other, so I'm satisfied. MR. YOVANOVICH: And if I can, we have a height limitation of 30 feet. We can also add that it will be one story not to -- one story not to exceed 30 feet. I think that hopefully will also have the neighbor comfortable that you're not going to have people peering into her yard unless they're really, really, really tall. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Rich -- or I'm sorry. Mr. Yovanovich or Mr. Arnold, how tall is that cross? MR. ARNOLD: I don't know the height of that, but it's -- COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Does that count as the 35 foot or is that a -- MR. YOVANOVICH: Thirty feet. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Thirty foot, or is that a supplemental? MR. ARNOLD: There is a height exception for certain things in the Land Development Code, and I think steeples may be one of those. I don't know what, then, the maximum height is. Mike -- like, the Estates is 30 feet. It's 30 feet. I think that's just a depiction. I don't know that that's exactly what has been decided by -- COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: The architect there? MR. ARNOLD: Yeah, I think it's just a rendering. I mean, I think -- the church doesn't want to spend a fortune renovating the structure, but obviously, most churches depict some sort of steeple or cross, so... MR. YOVANOVICH: So whatever the code allows is the maximum height we'll go for that steeple. Again, one story, though. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Commissioner Shea. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Just a follow-up to Michelle's question. Mike, does -- you have planners on staff. Do you feel there's a size that there's too much building with the 10,000 square feet on that size lot? Are you comfortable with it, your staff? MR. BOSI: The size proposed and the number of parking spaces, based upon the conceptual plan, staff feels has -- has been designed to be compatible and be -- and be in a sense where it will not impose any negative impact upon the adjoining properties. The property to the west being a single-family residential house, that 25-foot buffer does -- 25-foot landscape buffer Page 20 of 48 Page 24 of 1180 November 20, 2025 does provide for some extra protections to provide for it. And I would think the one thing that maybe you could put as an additional condition, and the applicant might have to work out the specific wording, but there can never be a church service as well as, you know, individual activity within the outparcel building or the -- what -- MR. YOVANOVICH: The fellowship hall? MR. BOSI: The fellowship hall. You may want to have a restriction upon not having those two buildings be utilized at the same time. I mean, I can see during the service that child care could be provided there, because that's customarily associated with it. But another outside event, another individual activity happening in the fellowship hall while church services is going on, I think, has the ability to potentially put an intensity that staff isn't anticipating based upon the limited number of church services that they're having. MR. YOVANOVICH: Mike, are you referring to things unassociated with the church in the fellowship hall? MR. BOSI: Yes. MR. YOVANOVICH: I'm trying to understand, are you worried about that, you know, the Boy Scouts are going to hold an event in fellowship hall while we're having a worship service? MR. BOSI: That's what I'm talking about. MR. YOVANOVICH: I think we'd be okay with a condition that says a user unrelated to the church utilizing fellowship hall while the church -- the main church building is also being utilized. I think it would be impossible for us to say we're not going to have people in fellowship hall while there's a church event going on. I mean, that happens all the time. So I don't think that's what you were saying. But if it's an outside user, you can't have an outside user of the fellowship hall at the time that church services are going on in the worship center, then we're okay with that kind of a condition. MR. BOSI: That's what I was suggesting that would be the -- that could be problematic, because during the church services, the daycare's going to be going on. There's other activities that are associated with the church. But if it's an outside group utilizing their fellowship hall while church service is going on, I could see that there may be an over -intensification of the use at that period -- that period of time. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Can I ask the resident of -- MR. BOSI: Ask the Chairman. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Yes. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: May I -- may I ask the resident of the west side to come back up to the podium? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Yes, please. That's why we have them swear in, so they can testify, call them back in. MS. BLOCK: Elizabeth Block, neighbor. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Elizabeth, can you share again what your concern was with regards to the size of these buildings? MS. BLOCK: Mostly about the intensity of use on the property and how much it would affect my property and my use of my property. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: But if there's enough shielding then with the plantings -- MS. BLOCK: Yeah, I love that they're going to not go two stories. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Right, okay. MS. BLOCK: And they do have parking at the back. And I don't know if you guys are aware of it, but the guy before they owned it put in very stable hard pack all the way to the back where they're planning on having their parking -- so as long as they can handle all the parking and not create a problem for me using my own property. Their current -- I forget what you call it -- a pull-out lane to go into Able Academy? MR. YOVANOVICH: Turn lane? MS. BLOCK: Yeah, the -- yeah, thanks. The turn lane starts at the mailbox for this -- for Page 21 of 48 Page 25 of 1180 November 20, 2025 the church property, which is all the way on the west side of their property line. So the turn lane starts there. So they're only going to capture, I'm guessing, eight or so feet to extend that turn lane if they move their existing property. So that also makes me wonder how much of my property they're going to end up taking to create a turn lane. I'm -- I think on Sundays, no problem, there's not really a lot of traffic on the Parkway. So depending on the times that they use it, it may not be an issue. But I mean, I want to make sure I can get in and out of my property. It's already difficult when there's busy traffic. But I think when this church is planning to use their property, I don't think it would create a problem for me. I just don't know how much of my property they'd end up having to extend that turn lane into because I have -- I have a driveway entry that's concrete that was installed at the time of the widening of the Parkway, and it looks to me like they'd be obstructing that if they have to bring the turn lane over to my property. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Maybe Rich can address that, then. Thank you. MS. BLOCK: Shall Igo? MR. YOVANOVICH: You can stay. We will not be taking any of her property for purposes of our turn lane. We're not going to be taking any of her property, okay. Anything we do has to be in the existing right-of-way. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay. So I'll make a -- oh. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Oh, yeah -- no. I was going to say I feel that the church knows what they need for their membership as a -- for size for the growth that they're going to make. If we try to downsize that in any way, it could just inhibit more parking or more -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Yeah. I was just going to comment. I was just doing simple Google Earth, and the church that's a couple doors down to the west, just doing an overhead measurement, it looks like it's about 10,000 square feet. So I mean, this is kind of in line with that. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Yeah, this is. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: The one -- the one issue I have, and I'll ask County Attorney, is, is it possible to tie this conditional use to the current owner until construction begins? And the reason I say that is because just like this other church on 951 where they never even broke ground, and now the property's back up for sale. So instead of being residential, it's now zoned as conditional use for a church. MS. ASHTON-CICKO: So you're essentially saying that the conditional use would expire if the applicant -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Doesn't do any construction and sells the property to somebody else. MS. ASHTON-CICKO: I think you probably could. It's -- you know, under the LDC, when they get a conditional use, I believe it's three or five years. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Five. So it's five years. MS. ASHTON-CICKO: So it would be kind of unique, and I'm not sure whether applicant would accept that condition. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: No, five years is good. Five years is fine, because I know getting congregation -- what I'm concerned with is the fact of turn around selling it to another church who then wants to come in for a larger church because it's already got a conditional use. MR. YOVANOVICH: But they'd be back here -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I know they would be back here, but there would be no -- MR. YOVANOVICH: Same process. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: But then that conditional use would then impede the owner next door. I'm just trying to be respectful. She already -- your neighbor is good. I like to keep -- they're good. Everything else is good. MS. ASHTON-CICKO: If you're trying to limit intensity, I did hear that the building's going to be one-story, and you could ask that it be one-story, both the fellowship and -- MR. YOVANOVICH: I assumed that, since I offered that up, that that was going to Page 22 of 48 Page 26 of 1180 November 20, 2025 become a condition, just like the other condition about connecting to sewer. I assumed whatever motion, whether they specifically mentioned that or not, those would be conditions. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: And, Commissioner Shea, did I not clear you out, or do you have a question? COMMISSIONER SHEA: I think we -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Covered that. COMMISSIONER SHEA: -- cleared that. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: All right. So if there is a motion to approve, then obviously, those conditions will be one -- tied to the one-story buildings. It's tied to the septic converting to sewer at the point of time whenever that is available. Is there any other further conditions that -- MR. YOVANOVICH: And those two conditions go in the conditional use. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Into the conditional use, correct. MR. YOVANOVICH: And we also modified -- MS. ASHTON-CICKO: It was also the -- all lighting 15 feet and 3,000 K. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: 3,000 K. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: 3,000 Kelvin. MS. ASHTON-CICKO: And then I don't know if you accepted the no separate outside events activity in fellowship hall during church service. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I had that note down as well. No outside activity other than the church at the time of service. So have we got a motion? Do you want to summarize that and make a motion to approve -- go ahead, Commissioner Colucci. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Here's the motion. I'll probably bungle it, but -- the motion is to recommend an amendment to the Growth Management Plan to allow the project to move forward on a conditional -use basis. What did I miss? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: That will include 15-foot lighting. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Well, that's -- that's other conditions. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: But it has to go in your motion. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Well, finish it, then. I don't know -- I understand -- COMMISSIONER McLEOD: I'll try it. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: -- but I don't know how to finish it. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Okay, Commissioner McLeod. Amend the motion to include -- COMMISSIONER McLEOD: To include five additional conditions, one being tapping into sewer when that's available to the area; limiting the structure to a one-story; limiting the height to no more than 15 feet; limiting the light fixtures to 3,000 Ks or Kelvins; and no -- the fifth additional condition is no outside activities during worship service. Was that it? MR. BOSI: No outside groups. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Oh, no outside groups. MR. YOVANOVICH: Using the fellowship hall. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Using the fellowship hall during -- MR. BOSI: During church services. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: -- during church services. MR. BOSI: Yes. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: One minor correction if I may add is that both buildings are limited to single -story. MR. YOVANOVICH: Correct. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Yep. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I will second. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: I'll second. Page 23 of 48 Page 27 of 1180 November 20, 2025 CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: All in favor? COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: (No verbal response.) COMMISSIONER SHEA: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Aye. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Aye. So PL20230012851, along with its companion, PL20230010505, passed unanimously. MR. YOVANOVICH: So all those conditions were related to the conditional -use petition, correct? I just want to make sure that's on the record. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Yes, sir. MR. YOVANOVICH: So your motion was for both, correct? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Correct. MR. YOVANOVICH: Thank you. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: The original, the amended, and the amended, yes. MR. YOVANOVICH: Got it. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. It's 10:25. How about we take a 15-minute break before we get into this next one; does that sound good? So we'll restart at 10:40. (A recess was had from 10:25 a.m. to 10:40 a.m.) MR. BOSI: Chair, you have a live mic. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. All right. ***Next item is PL20240013798 and its companion item, PL20240012938, for the Growth Management Plan Amendment and conditional use for the northwest corner of Shady Hollow East Immokalee Road. All those wishing to testify or speak on the matter, please stand to be sworn in. THE COURT REPORTER: Do you swear or affirm the testimony you will give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Did you do the disclosures on this item? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: That's what I was just going to go into. MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Okay. I'm sorry. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Disclosures. MS. LOCKHART: Staff materials only. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Staff materials only. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Staff materials and site visit. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Staff materials only. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Staff materials only. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Staff materials, a site visit, and a correspondence with Mr. Trebilcock. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Gosh. Okay. Staff materials, spoke with Mike Bosi, spoke with Norm Trebilcock. That's it. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Excellent. Good morning, sir. I open the floor to you. MR. DuBOIS: Good morning. Thank you for seeing us today, Planning Commission. My name's Richard DuBois. I'm here on behalf of the applicant, the Orangetree Bible Church, and I'm here with RDA Consulting Engineers. Thank you for your time today. We're here to discuss the Orangetree Bible Church project that we are here for a GMPA and a conditional use. Our project team consists of myself; Mike Delate; Jim Banks is our transportation consultant; and Marco Espinar is our environmental consultant. Quite similar to the Page 24 of 48 Page 28 of 1180 November 20, 2025 previous project that you guys just listened to. The Orangetree Bible Church was established approximately two years ago, and they currently have about 100 churchgoers. They are currently meeting at the church at Paul -- or I'm sorry -- at the Palmetto High School right around the corner to the east of the property that we are looking at today. And the reason that we're here and the reason that we're looking at this parcel is it's centered within their churchgoers' community. They have a lot of people that attend this church that live in this community. And there aren't many parcels available in this area specifically that would allow for a church use by right. They're all very similar to the previous project you saw where Estates -zoned properties will allow for the church with a conditional, and this property also would require the GMPA to modify the future land use and create the subdistrict allowing the church. So -- next one. With what we're looking at today and what we're looking at proposing for this church, the intention is to integrate into the community. The intention is to be a member of the community. And we've already, ourselves, and then also with discussion with staff, come in and put in some conditions of approval that would limit the uses of the church on this property. For example, services are being proposed only on Wednesdays and on Sundays. In addition, they are capping the church at less than 300 seats and with a gross floor area of 12,000 square feet or less. As part of this, throughout the process, we've -- through talking with staff, through talking with the neighbors and hearing some of the concerns, we're looking at proposing some enhanced buffer material along all four sides of the property, not just along the road frontages, but also to the neighbors to the north and to the west, and then to discuss the stormwater management. Any and all stormwater management systems for this property will adhere to the South Florida Water Management District rules and County rules at time of SDP. One other thing to bring up, too, is the 50-foot way -- right-of-way reservation along Immokalee Road that we would be dedicating to Collier County with this project's approval for any future right-of-way improvements. Based on discussions we have had with staff during the permitting process, we understand that eventually Immokalee Road would likely upsize in this area. So in order to be a good neighbor, we're already offering that as something to the County with this application. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Let me ask a question of the attorney real quick. Would that right-of-way -- is that already implied for an increase, or would they have -- would the County have to purchase that land from the owner? MS. ASHTON-CICKO: It is provided in the resolution that the County pays the fair market value of the date before the conditional use is approved. So the value of the property today is what would apply, not the value after conditional use is approved. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Not later on. So either way, the property, it's not like they're dedicating that to the County and not being compensated for it. MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Correct. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: They're just basically selling it to the County at current market price versus whenever the County decides to expand, correct? MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yes. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. I'm sorry. Go ahead. MR. DuBOIS: So just to summarize the location that was selected for this property that the church identified, the main -- the main selling factor for this property for the church was the location off Immokalee Road. It's an easily accessible road and a highly trafficked road, and this parcel is right off the Immokalee Road. Now, we proposed our site access off of Shady Hollow Boulevard after discussions with staff. The County has no desire to have another property be accessed off of Immokalee Road. So we are -- we are proposing a single access with a turn lane off of Shady Hollow Boulevard to help minimize any impacts to that street. Page 25 of 48 Page 29 of 1180 November 20, 2025 Just to give you guys a quick summary of the property, I'm sure you've all seen it, but here is the property on the corner of Immokalee Road and Shady Hollow Boulevard East. To the north and the parcel immediately to the west, they are both currently vacant properties, and the closest property is after the vacant property to the west. And that corner of that home would be approximately 394 feet, 395 feet from where we're proposing that church building, but it would be about 165 feet away from any proposed site improvements besides buffer material with that being parking. So just to give you a summary of how far away this proposed improvement is from the adjacent neighbors. To summarize the site plan, as you can see, there's the proposed 50-foot-wide right-of-way reservation, and then in addition we're proposing the 25-foot landscape buffers to the south, to the east. As this is in the Estates, we're providing 75 feet of native vegetation to the west and to the north and also supplementing that with some additional buffer planting materials as well to provide that full, I believe, it's a Type B buffer material to that, to those adjacent properties. We would be looking at putting in a preserve -- or dedicating a preserve along with this project. The intention of the church would be to put in grass parking for a substantial amount of their parking on the property, and then there would be a small playground use for children either during church services or directly after, but obviously, within the hours of operation with the -- that our -- that our client, the applicant, is proposing with this application. Just to give everyone an idea of what we're looking at proposing, this is a conceptual elevation of that building. Nothing has really been finalized or set in stone yet, but this is the type of construction that the church is looking to build. It will be a nice finished product that -- their desire is to fit within the community and be a part of the community, not stand out like a sore thumb. And to go with that conceptual elevation, here's a conceptual floor plan of what they're looking to do at this location for this church to continue to provide a home for their churchgoers and to provide a place in the community that's their own building instead of utilizing space from a school. Just to summarize the traffic quickly, it has been an item that's come up as a concern, which is why we added the turn lane to help address some of the concerns. With the current churchgoer count of approximately 100 people, if we assume there's two and a half people per vehicle per household, that would be around 40 vehicles with the current congregation. Most people leave within 30 minutes after a service is over, and that would be about 1.3 to 2 cars per minute exiting onto Shady Hollow, just to give you guys an idea what that may look like. Even with looking at the capped future churchgoer seat number of 299 seats, that would still only increase to about four or five cars per minute exiting out onto Shady Hollow with this project. One of the other conditions that we've placed on this project if there is still concerns about traffic -- traffic after that point is that, if necessary, the church would coordinate with the Collier County Sheriffs Department to ensure that someone's out there directing traffic should that need arise and should that become a concern, similar to many other churches here in the area. Coming into today, as you guys have in your staff report, there's the conditions that we've already agreed to and the conditions that we've already worked through with staff. Coming into this meeting today, here are three other conditions that we would like to discuss and offer with this project. The first one regarding landscape buffers. This is essentially stating that we would be planting larger plant material at the time of planting and some additional tree material as well. As it relates to No. 2 with the parking and site lighting, this is similar to what you just heard with the previous church project that we would be committed to doing Dark Sky compliant light fixtures with pole heights not greater than 15 feet. So, you know, the goal here -- really, the goal is to build a community church and to fit in with the community. We don't want to be the sore thumb. We want to be a place in the community for people to come and to, you know, worship Page 26 of 48 Page 30 of 1180 November 20, 2025 God. And then the No. 3, the proposed right -turn lane into the site on Shady Hollow Boulevard, we would just request that we would not -- we would not need to provide compensating right-of-way along that right-of-way for that turn lane, as that right-of-way width is already sufficient to accommodate a turn lane. And then that's our presentation today. I'm sure there will be questions. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: There is. Let's start with Commissioner Shea first, and then we'll go to Mike. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Mine's an easy one. Is the petitioner here? MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Excuse me just a second. Has staff reviewed and approved the conditions that were put on the visualizer? MR. BOSI: The condition -- the additional conditions that were just proffered today, we have not reviewed them, so we would -- MS. ASHTON-CICKO: And I do see, like, a deviation from our Land Development Code that requires compensating right-of-way. So I am a little bit concerned about, you know, his deviation that he's putting up there, whether staff is in agreement that it's not required, so I just needed to put that on the record. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. That was on my question log for you on that, especially the conditions. Go ahead, Commissioner Shea. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Yeah. The only question I had is is the petitioner here? MR. DuBOIS: Yeah, the petitioner is here. Pastor Dennis and his wife. They are here as well, so... COMMISSIONER SHEA: Oh, okay. Usually you sit over there. No, you don't have to. I just -- I just wanted to make sure you were here. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Petscher, Commissioner Petscher. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Yeah. You said there's no institutional availability in the area. Right across the street on Immokalee Road that's not on a public residential street, there is an available parcel for sale. And it looks like you purchased this last year, and I know that parcel was for sale last year. So why didn't you guys go with this rather than -- or go with this one rather than one that's already zoned for institutional? MR. DuBOIS: Is the zoning Estates on that as well? COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: No. It's zoned institution already. MR. DuBOIS: Is it? COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: I could look it up on Collier Appraiser and tell you that. But it's literally across the street. It's 200 feet away. MR. DuBOIS: Sure. So at the time of purchase, you know, we talked with the church, and this is the property that they identified as the property they'd like to move forward with. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Pricing issues? MR. DuBOIS: They've looked at pricing, wetlands, access, all those kinds of items. MR. HUSTEDT: I'm happy to -- sir, we did look at that property. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I'm sorry. What's your name, sir, for the record? MR. HUSTEDT: Sorry. I'm sorry. Denny Hu -- Dennis Hustedt, pastor of Orangetree Bible. We did look at this property. We looked at a number of properties all over the area. We were looking, searching, hunting. That one is quite swampy. In fact, we had a hard time even locating anyone who was selling it. We discovered it was John R. Wood, but they didn't have it on the records. It had been off the records for so long. But when we did investigate and look at it, very wet. The land we're looking at here that we're seeking approval for is -- has been designated by the County as upland. It's all upland, which -- and, in fact, our environmental expert who we paid Page 27 of 48 Page 31 of 1180 November 20, 2025 to have a look at the place said he's not seen that in years where the County actually gave upfront approval to upland. Massive, of course, cost difference, as I know you would be aware. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Thank you. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Okay. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Those were my only two questions. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Okay. So with that, I'm going to turn it over to staff. MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. As mentioned by the County Attorney on the newly proposed requested supplemental conditions of approval, reviewed 1 through 2, and I don't have any issues with those. Three, I don't understand what value that had -- there's no -- that, I believe, should be stricken. Staff would not support a condition that says the proposed right -turn lane into the site at the Shady Hollow Boulevard estates -- East will not require compensated right-of-way given that -- I'm not sure that they made that determination. That would be a determination that staff -- or staff would make during the site planning to see if that was required. So I wouldn't want to tie any hands as to making the declaration as to whether there was going to be a compensated right-of-way needed or not needed. It's not an appropriate condition for the conditional use. MR. DuBOIS: And we have no issue with withdrawing that if staff doesn't find it acceptable. MR. BOSI: And there is another issue that the applicant has not addressed, and I've got a display that -- again, Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. The recommendations that were contained within your staff reports for the conditional and the GMP was recommendations of support with additional conditions, and staff still recommends the conditions. An issue was brought to our attention late last week, and it's on us and it was on the staff -- or it's on the applicant for both missing this. Within the -- within the screen, you see you have a 75-foot setback indicated here between the front of where they would be proposing the facility and the end of the right-of-way. And then you have the 50-foot right-of-way reservation, but that occupies 50 feet of that 75 feet. So when the road is expanded, Immokalee Road is expanded to its final condition, the church and the playground would find themselves 25 feet away from the road. Staff has asked the applicant to move the facility back an additional 50 feet to be in compliance with the 75-foot front -yard setback required within -- customary within the Estates when the condition -- when the road is expanded. They have not agreed to that. Now, I understand that their basis for their application was what they put forward on their conceptual plan. It is a conceptual site plan. It's not a site plan that's been engineered. It's a site plan that is put forward for the conditional -use process. Staff feels if you're asking for a Growth Management Plan Amendment and you're an applicant -- and I get it. It's the late hour. Staff assumes responsibility. They assume responsibility for missing it. But now that we know that there's -- there's another 50-foot reservation that's going to cut into their 75-foot front -yard setback, at the end of the day when that road construction is finalized, you're going to have a playground and a church that's 25 feet from the roadway when there's a 75-foot requirement for -- within the Estates zoning district. So staff is not recommending denial of the GMP and the conditional use. We are asking for an additional condition that they set back their building an additional 50 feet to the west to be able to accommodate the 75-foot setback at the -- at the final condition of the Immokalee Road expansion. That is the issue that staff has with the proposal. Other than that, the modifications, the two additional conditions that have been proffered staff supports. We think it's a project that fits within the -- within the land -use arrangement, but it's only the -- it's the additional 50 feet, and we understand the applicant's position. We're asking the Planning Commission to recognize that this is a -- it's a conceptual site plan, and we found -- and the issue's been identified well before any site planning or the specifics of a building permit has been even requested. Page 28 of 48 Page 32 of 1180 November 20, 2025 And based upon that, we think it's appropriate for that additional 50-foot, and staff would support that recommendation. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Hold that thought. MR. BOSI: And any questions? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Yes, Commissioner Colucci. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: I guess where I'll start is 25 -- an eventually 25-feet space between the buildings and the road is, to me, pretty much a nonstarter. MR. DuBOIS: Yeah, it's -- COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: That's not enough. Hold on. MR. DuBOIS: Go ahead. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: If the petitioner is reluctant to move it back, why? MR. DuBOIS: Wonderful question. So we found out about this very late, late afternoon Tuesday. So we've had time to discuss it and work through it now with ourselves internally and with the applicant. We have no objection to shifting that setback measurement from the right-of-way reservation line instead of the current property line. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Well, that solves that problem. MR. BOSI: Staff would agree. That is in -- I was working off -- under incorrect information, or maybe their position has changed somewhat compared to our conversation we had on Tuesday. Regardless, with that, staff would -- is recommending approval of both the conditional use and the GMP. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Okay. MS. ASHTON-CICKO: And the Board will see a slightly different site plan with the 75-foot back from the right-of-way reservation than what you're seeing today. MR. DuBOIS: Correct. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Any other questions? No? Public comment? Thank you. MR. SABO: Mr. Chairman, we have several speakers. The first is Peter Rasmussen. He was ceded time by Michele Dyer. Is Michele Dyer here? (Raises hand.) MR. SABO: All right. That's 10 minutes for Mr. Peter Rasmussen. We're setting up the visualizer for him. MR. RASMUSSEN: Hello. I apologize ahead of time for not knowing acronyms and sources and -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: No worries. MR. RASMUSSEN: -- everything, but some of my comments are based on something we received from somebody in the Planning Commission discussing goals and objectives and policies of land -use, public facility design. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Would you mind spelling your last name for me, please. MR. RASMUSSEN: R-a-s-m-u-s-s-e-n. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. MR. RASMUSSEN: Something that hasn't been talked much about -- how do I move around here? Can we -- I need to find the area. Oh, there it is. Okay. So you can see the church site right where the arrow is. Well, let me back up. So the goals, there are certain goals that are listed that are going to be problematic. Natural resource concerns, safety, quality of life of the local residents, preserving rural character. There's a legitimate traffic concern which will affect the quality of the local residents. The entry to the church -- and I'll come back to this later -- is not from an arterial or collector roadway but from a two-lane residential road that is adjacent to the interconnection of a major arterial roadway. Page 29 of 48 Page 33 of 1180 November 20, 2025 This narrow residential road provides -- also provides access to the CREW Bird Rookery which is further west on Shady Hollow Boulevard. It dead ends down in the CREW Bird Rookery, which makes this road a little bit different than other residential roads because of weekend traffic to the -- to the Bird Rookery. I've got some numbers. The Bird Rookery attendance on Sunday during high season is between 165 and 389 -- I've got these numbers I can hand to you after if you need that -- with an average of 266 on any given Sunday. Currently there are 41 homes that use Shady Hollow Boulevard to access. We have 96 -- or 92 additional lots that could be built out, and currently we're seeing about three or four houses per year being built that would be accessed on Shady Hollow Boulevard. Further up on Immokalee Road, north of Immokalee Road, there's also a 2,000-home subdivision that's going to be built which will obviously increase the traffic on Immokalee Road. And I'm bringing this all to a close because the traffic that they talked about I don't think identified the real problem. The church, as he showed on his slide, expects a maximum of 120 vehicles, and they spread that over -- spread that out over 30 minutes after the service, and they came up with four cars per minute. That was his number. Anybody going to church, I think the real number is before church starts. People arrive -- you know, after church they -- they spread out, but arriving I'd say the majority of them are going to arrive within a 15-minute time frame. And if you do that, that gives you 6.7 cars per minute, and obviously, that wouldn't be spread out evenly over the 15 minutes, so I think you could double that at points, which gives you basically one car every five seconds is going to be turning off of Immokalee onto this road. There is a turn lane. It is a single lane. As you can see -- MR. BOSI: Point to the -- yeah, touch the screen. MR. RASMUSSEN: I can just touch it? This one? MR. BOSI: Point to something. MR. RASMUSSEN: As you can see, Immokalee Road is a single road at this point, a single -lane road. There is a turn lane. Up -- just further up, it goes from a 45- to a 55-mile-an-hour. As you know -- you've driven these roads -- people start at acceleration well beyond. So, it -- Immokalee went from a two-lane shortly before this, very shortly before this, to a single lane, and now it's accelerating. So there is significant traffic there. If we're trying to get five cars per second [sic] into that turn lane onto Shady Hollow Boulevard, there's going to be times it's going to block that road. It's going to block a major artery -- a single -lane major artery road. I'll come back to that, but that's probably my biggest concern is the safety issue related to this traffic coming into this small two-lane road. Overflow parking on special occasions, Christmas, Easter, the only option is to park along the side of this two-lane road. There's no shoulder. It's just a -- literally you can't do a U-turn. You have to do a three-point turn. It's going to be in the grass. After the church is over, there's no way to turn around. They're going to have to go up the road, do three-point turns, or use people's driveways to turn around to get back out, not unlike the church parking where they can do a left turn to get back to Immokalee. Similar to the previous thing, I don't know that they have any daycare. You know, all their traffic is based on a Sunday meeting and a weekday meeting, but I think we need to limit daily -- a future daycare option. Many churches opt for that. I don't know if that's in their plan or not, but I think it's something we need to talk about. The next thing I wanted to talk about is a little more subjective, and it deals with the natural resource concerns and the rural character. We share our neighborhood with all kinds of wildlife. We've got bears. We've got panthers. We've got bobcats. Many of the lots -- most of the lots are half nature. I would venture to say many residents have never been to the back side of their lot. So it's a -- one of the things we love about living where we do is coexisting with nature. Page 30 of 48 Page 34 of 1180 November 20, 2025 There's no way that the wildlife would be able to do the same thing on that property. That would just eliminate that much more area where the wildlife could do that. Many of our lots provide shelter, food, and a home for the animals. I agree with the Dark Sky lighting, if they do that 15-foot Dark Sky 3,000 Kelvin. Just a personal thing, when I'm going home at night, it's a -- I don't know if the petitioner's ever even done this. When I go home at night, I turn off Immokalee, their streetlights. Instantly, it's peace. It's quiet. It's dark. It's one of the favorite things -- every time -- every time I do that, I love living there just because the feeling I get when I turn off that road, and all of a sudden it's -- my blood pressure goes down. I'm sorry. Back on this, what is it, the conditions. As I understand it, there are four sets -- or four criteria that must be met in order for you to even grant this. Provide essential services, I guess if it comes to that -- well, I guess only one of these has to be met. I'm not sure that a church is actually an essential service. And again, I don't -- I'm not opposed to the church. I go to a church where we met in a schoolhouse and then we built in the Estates, but we met at least one of these criteria. It must be near a neighborhood center. This is not. It must be adjacent to an existing nonresidential use. This is not. And it must be on or oriented toward an arterial or collector roadway, and this is not. If they figured out a way to access it off Immokalee Road, many of my concerns would be moot. But to try and access off this little two-lane residential area where, unlike most other roads, we are busiest on weekends. It's -- it is not like Golden Gate where they said, "Oh, it's a Sunday. It's not busy." That is our busiest time on this road, because of the Rookery, because people are out on their four-bys and their motorcycles, and it's a -- I can't come up with a number, but it's probably five times as busy on a weekend as it is during the week. You got a taste of this, but the petitioner, in a meeting on August I Ith, stated the main reason -- the main reason they wanted to build on this lot was because of the cost. You know, we talked about this other lot. It's available across the street. You can build a church. It's going to cost him more. He's going to have to bring in the fill. So -- and my thing, it's not your job, it's not your duty, and it shouldn't even be your concern about saving him money. They can build what they want, meet all the criteria on this place across the street. And then in closing -- and I don't -- please don't take this as a -- I don't even want to say -- it's a concern. If somebody gets killed on that intersection, it's going to come to light that the concern was brought up in this meeting, and it's something for the petitioner as well. I don't know that they would want that on their head. I think it's something that they -- that intersection, trying to turn left on there, is just dangerous, and I don't think that's been properly addressed with any type of a traffic survey. So any questions? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Go ahead, Commissioner McLeod. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Mr. Rasmussen, where do you live on the street? MR. RASMUSSEN: We're further down. In fact, I should have mentioned that. I'm the president of a small HOA this lives further west, just straight west on Shady Hollow after you cross -- in fact -- yeah. Can I zoom out? Okay. You see the lake? COMMISSIONER McLEOD: So it's past Wilson Boulevard, then? MR. RASMUSSEN: Yeah, just past Wilson there's a lake. Our HOA consists of the lots along the southern shore of that lake. And then you can see where the Bird Rookery trail is out here. So our subdivision is right along here -- our HOA I should say. When I did the lots, I considered, you know, this road as well because that's how they would access it, rather than doing a U-turn and coming in. You know, they'd have to do a U-turn and come back in this way. So I considered all lots along either side of Shady Hollow Boulevard to get my numbers. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay. Thank you. Page 31 of 48 Page 35 of 1180 November 20, 2025 CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Any other questions? (No response.) CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you, sir. MR. RASMUSSEN: And I'll just give those to you. They have the numbers that I used. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Perfect. MR. RASMUSSEN: Thank you. MR. SABO: Mr. Chairman, your next speaker is Colleen Araujo. MS. ARAUJO: Hello. I'm Colleen Araujo. I'm the resident right next door to this. So I don't want to make this an emotional thing, but I want you to know that I waited 23 years to move away from people to the country so I could live with nature, I could have a garden, I could have my dogs in the yard and not have people all around just, you know, all the time. So happy when I moved to this house, so happy. Love my home. Love the nature, and there is a lot of nature. I have bears that come through my yard that go through the next yard to go to the next yard to go to the sanctuary. We have animals everywhere. My concern is I didn't want to move next to a commercial building, and even though it's a church, it's still commercial. There are people coming and going. There will be parking lots. There will be traffic coming right in and out next to my house. Every time a car door closes, my dogs are going to bark. This is a personal disruption for a resident that lives so close to a facility like this. I work really hard out in my yard. I'm very proud of my home. I take very big pride in my home. The last thing I want next to me is a commercial building. I don't want lights. I don't want a big building. I don't want people coming and going all the time. I don't like the fact that there will be kids running around making noise all the time. Kind of defeats the purpose of moving to the country. I feel like owning a home there, I wasn't expecting a commercial building to be put up next to me, which is what is trying to happen now. So in my defense, I just want to say if any of you waited that long to buy a home in your perfect area that you wanted to live in thinking it's going to be nothing but people living next to you, families and homes with dogs and people -- come to find out that there's going to be a commercial building right next to you, which will also stop all of the nature that travels through, which will stop everything that goes on now, the peace. They say it's on Sundays and Wednesdays. Well, I'm right next door. It doesn't matter what day it is. Cars coming and going. The driveway's right next to me. Now, they have to move the structure back further west away from Immokalee Road. That puts it closer to me. It's just not acceptable. It's not comfortable. I'm not -- I don't approve of it. It wouldn't matter if it was a church. It wouldn't matter what building -- what commercial it was. It really wouldn't matter. It doesn't matter to me one single bit. What matters to me is that it's a commercial building. It's going to have commercial traffic. It's going to add umpteen amounts of traffic to -- to our road. Our road is a small, little two-lane road. It's very quiet. People are quiet there. It's just -- it's a nature -loving road. I am going to be affected the most. It's very disheartening to me to have property that you think is going to be safe from something like that only to find out that somebody else is petitioning to build a big structure on it. I just have to say if any of you were in this position, how would you feel yourself? It's -- it's just disheartening. I don't want it there. I don't want anything there but another home maybe. That's fine. But I don't think it should be allowed to be a big facility, and I don't think it should be allowed to be a commercial facility. That's all I have to say. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Ms. Araujo, can I ask you a question? MS. ARAUJO: Yes. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: How often do you hear gunshots out there? MS. ARAUJO: A lot. Page 32 of 48 Page 36 of 1180 November 20, 2025 CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Are they coming from, like, the street over and on your street as well? MS. ARAUJO: They come over from the street over. I don't rarely see -- hear anything on my street. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Your street. MS. ARAUJO: The street -- next street over, I do hear some guns, but I do understand from somebody there's some range -- gun range over there. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Yeah. Collier County, anything over -- anything over an acre and, like, a quarter you can put in your own shooting berm, and as long as your expelled ammunition does not leave your property, you're more than legally welcome to shoot. MS. ARAUJO: I mean, it's not like it's every minute of every day. I mean -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: So you do hear it? MS. ARAUJO: Well, you do hear it. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Okay. MS. ARAUJO: If you lived in the Estates and didn't hear gunshots, you've got to be deaf. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I do live in the Estates. MS. ARAUJO: You know. You know how it is. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I do. And I appreciate the comments. Thank you. MS. ARAUJO: Thank you. Anything else? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Anything else? No. Great. Next speaker. MR. SABO: Mr. Chairman, the next speaker is William Dyer. MR. DYER: Good morning. I'm William Dyer. I am a Shady Hollow resident, along with my wife Michele, and we have been there since 2016. We live further down by where Pete lives, but we access, obviously, Immokalee Road every day, numerous times every day. So we're here. Pete covered a lot of what I was going to say, but I do have some points I want to bring up. Number 1, it's not a Collier County, it's a State of Florida thing about shooting on more than an acre, which is -- nothing you can do about it. And you're right, the Collier County Government can't even control that so, yeah, there are a lot of gunshots out in Collier, but it's very rural. We moved out there from Marco because we wanted private, quiet, you know, peaceful environment. With that said, the lot across the street that they're talking about it's right next to the -- pretty much right next to the Collier County Sheriffs Office and next to the EMS building there. All right. Maybe a little down. Very usable land. Maybe a little wet at the time. But it's very usable, right? So, No. 2 I'm concerned about is that in lane, the left -turn lane there coming onto our road, and then they're going to have to make a right -turn lane going in, well, I'm a little concerned about that. First of all, the traffic north and south is tremendous, even Sunday. Fifty thousand people go to that bird CREW park a year is what I'm told. That's a lot of cars, okay. They know one way in and one way out. Sure, you've got Wilson Road and other things, but they don't know that, along with all the residents there. Now, it's not overly built, but it is very concerning to us. If -- I know the County has already denied access to Collier. I would deny access to Shady Hollow because of the traffic, the concern. It's all right there at that intersection coming out making a right on Collier is difficult -- I'm sorry -- Immokalee, it's harder to make a left. So if all their parishioners live in the area and they've got to turn left, you've got cars coming down -- and it's very difficult to make a left-hand turn going north on Immokalee Road. So we're concerned. I would rather see it exit, especially after they put the widening road in -- all six lanes is what I'm understanding. It's going to go six lanes further north, I believe. You know, three and three, plus the turn lane. Well, it would be a whole lot easier to get out on Immokalee Road, in my opinion. Obviously they didn't like that idea, but we don't like the idea, quite frankly, coming out on Shady Hollow. You know, it's a small, two-lane rural road, but it's very busy with the park Page 33 of 48 Page 37 of 1180 November 20, 2025 down there. So with that said, that's our -- one of our concerns. Okay. A lot of people bike and ride, families are walking up and down on the sidewalk there and down the roads. We have no sidewalks on Shady Hollow. There is -- it's a swale. And I'll tell you, right in that area, and you can ask the speaker that just spoke, it floods in the summertime in the heavy rain. It's just -- water just sits right there. So there really is no parking on the berms if that parking lot overfills. You know, if he gets up to 300, you know, parishioners, that's a lot of cars, a lot of people. I saw a little playground or preserve in the back, assuming where the kids are going to go play, right next to residents' houses and stuff like that. So our concern is -- we're not against a church, but there's options there where they don't have to be on a residential property on a small private little -- not private, but it's very a heavily used little rural road is what it is. And if that wasn't the option going over there, then I wouldn't approve it coming on Shady. Let them go out on Immokalee and deal with that there. I don't know if that's any better or worse. But it definitely will affect our lifestyle. It will definitely affect the wildlife, everything that goes on. And that road is extremely -- like I said, 50,000 people a year, all right. Holidays, weekends, it's crazy, it really is, up and down the road. Just come down. You live -- you live in the Estates. Have you ever been down to Bird Rookery? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: (Nods head.) MR. DYER: Yeah. Pretty packed. I mean, they're talking about having to expand their parking lot down there and make it bigger. I mean, it's crazy. And we hate -- we love the people coming down, you know. We enjoy the park ourselves. There's 50,000 acres of preserve back there; however, with that said, we don't need extra problems to deal with that we have to deal with. So that is my concern with the church going in there. You know, we don't have a -- we're not opposed to a church going in there. It's more opposed to, like, the other -- the last speaker said, putting any commercial buildings there, you know, especially when there was approval across the street. So that's all I really wanted to put out there are some of our concerns. And as a neighborhood, you know, we just feel like we have a right to let you know how we feel. So there it is. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. MR. DYER: Does anybody have any questions? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Any questions? (No response.) CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: No. MR. DYER: No. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. MR. DYER: All right. Thank you very much. MR. SABO: Our next speaker is Mike Pyles. MR. PYLES: Good morning. My name is Mike Pyles. I live on Shady Hollow Boulevard West. I'm last house on the end of the road before you enter the Rookery. And I'd like to reinforce mostly what Bill and Pete talked about regarding traffic in the intersection at Shady Hollow and Immokalee Road. One thing, though, you've heard some numbers today. These numbers aren't static. When I bought my lot in late 2014, there was an article shortly after that in the Naples news that the Bird Rookery was getting 35,000 visitors a year. Last news article I saw in the Naples news on the Bird Rookery was that that number had grown to 50,000. Likelihood, it's going to keep growing. As Bill mentioned, there are already plans to expand the parking lot, something that I understand the CREW preserve people resisted because they thought the traffic was already putting too much stress on the animal environment, but it's a growth area. You've seen the Google map of the intersection. You've seen the numbers about the cars. Page 34 of 48 Page 38 of 1180 November 20, 2025 The church is presented as maybe passing through. I'd like to just talk about what the reality is like of turning at that intersection onto Immokalee Road. It's an odd intersection. It's the point at which a two-lane road suddenly expands into a three -lane road and then shortly further along into a four -lane road. Traffic coming east off Immokalee Road tends to accelerate as they move into what they perceive is a larger highway. The County, in fact, calls it a highway now. It's been designated recently a memorial highway, and that's what it is. If you come in the other direction, they've already discussed the turn lane that's there now. The traffic is fast on that road. I know what the speed limits are, but when I turn onto that road, I have to get up to 60 miles an hour as quickly as I can to keep from impeding the flow of traffic. And when traffic is passing at that speed, you can't turn into small gaps between cars. You have to wait for very large gaps to open up. That doesn't often happen because there are no nearby traffic lights that stall traffic for a while and create open spaces and traffic you can turn into. It's a steady stream of cars at high speed proceeding with gaps that are very difficult to turn into. There's another dimension to it, too. The next road south of Shady Hollow Boulevard is 41 st Avenue, and people -- and that road has more residents on it than our road does. You can't turn left onto that road from Immokalee Road because there's a median still there. The median only disappears up near our road. So people accessing that road come up to this intersection to make a U-turn onto Immokalee Road to get a block down to the road they live on. And I think you -all know what the experience is like with U-turns in Naples. Most people don't realize that U-turns have right-of-way. People using U-turns know they have the right-of-way, and I can't tell you how many times I've come close to watching an accident at that intersection as there's confusion between a U-turner and someone trying to turn right onto that road. It's quite often -- we often go left heading toward Immokalee. We've had to sit, with us being the only car at the intersection, a couple minutes, three minutes to be able to make a turn to the left because you have to wait for traffic to clear in both lanes. And I mentioned earlier the issue with having to wait for gaps the way traffic is flowing. I can't imagine what it would be like when church lets out and you have only 30 or 40, and later, larger number of cars lining up to try to make that turn. You're going to have traffic jams at that intersection, and you're not going to relieve a lot of it with an extra turn lane because they're going to be confronting the same issues. So maps look one thing; numbers tell you something else. Sitting at that intersection, it looks very different. And it is not the right location to have any high volume of traffic pass through over the space of a short few minutes. And I'm also sort of generally perplexed if what the purpose of the land -use restrictions are, if they're so easily waived for the convenience of someone who didn't have the budget to buy a lot that would work that is zoned properly for the use. So those are my considerations, thank you. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you, sir. Thank you. Next speaker. MR. SABO: Last speaker, Lisa Rasmussen. MS. RASMUSSEN: Hi. I'm Lisa Rasmussen. My husband is Peter Rasmussen, and we live on Shady Hollow down across the canal. As we've all stated, our street is not your typical residential street. We have a public entity at the end of our street that we do face extra traffic on our road that other residential roads do not deal with. I have stated in a previous preliminary meeting that they had that I am strongly opposed to these changes. The residential property was purchased with the intent to make these changes before we, the residents on that street, were given any recourse. Statistics show that once -- the big white board that goes up on the property, once it goes Page 35 of 48 Page 39 of 1180 November 20, 2025 up, our chances of making any change to that is 10 percent -- 10 to 15 percent even though we raise our voices against it. It was stated that the reason for building the Orangetree Bible Church at this location is because of the cost of buying the property. It was so affordable, and it would be a convenience for the patrons. I think to purchase residential property knowing full well the intent was to make substantial changes to a residential property against the standards of a residential property is deceptive business practice. There are rumors circulating that there will be an intent to establish a daycare in the future as part of -- as part of that property. I know they would have to come back and get approved for that, but they'd probably get it, and that would increase the traffic even more. It gives me little faith in the limited conditional -use proposal that it will remain as stated or that we, the residents of Shady Hollow Boulevard, can restrain, reduce, or stop these proposals. We already have increased public traffic on this street due to the CREW Bird Rookery, and as remaining residential lots are purchased and built on, the traffic will only increase. What is to keep -- someone else with another affordable lot trying to build a business venture on a residential lot in residential areas. What will keep them from doing so if you set a precedent? There are appropriate building lots in the same general area that fit the standard for this proposal without having to change to the conditional use. Yes, it may cost them more money to build what they want to build, but it will cost far less for all of the residents on Shady Hollow Boulevard in ways that are more valuable than money and cannot be replaced, such as old -growth trees, wildlife nesting birds, dark sky, peace and quiet. And the next I thing I see is a traffic light because the traffic will be so bad at that intersection. So thank you for listening to my emotional proposal, but that's how I feel. I strongly oppose a conditional use, not a church. I don't have anything against a church, but this is not the place for it. So thank you for listening to me. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. MS. RASMUSSEN: Any questions? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: No, okay. MR. SABO: That was the last speaker. No further speakers. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Rebuttal? MR. DuBOIS: All right. For the record, Richard DuBois with RDA Consulting Engineers. Just to address some of the concerns that were brought up, specifically -- mainly traffic, right? That's the main concern that we've heard throughout this process. And we're working towards being a good neighbor. We originally proposed two entrances for this property off Shady Hollow. Originally our goal was to provide access off Immokalee Road. Based on coordination with county staff, that was not an option so, therefore, we changed access to Shady Hollow. Originally two entrances for fire ingress and egress to the property, and then we moved it down to one to provide even less of an impact to the street. In addition, the concern with traffic coming into church at a faster rate. To help address any potential concerns on Shady Hollow, we proposed a turn lane into the site. Based on the limited amount of traffic that's being generated for this church -- less-than-300-seat church. The turn lane is something that we're -- that we're proposing to do to help with traffic. That's not necessarily something that would be required for the project. So in addition, regarding the buffering for the project, we came in here today proposing and happily offering additional buffer material to help ensure that we are fitting into the community as best we can. You know, the church's goal here is to come in and be a member of the community, as they have been the last two years they've operated, and they're looking to build this location as a home for their community and help improve the community with also improving that corner which is right off of Immokalee Road. We are property right on Immokalee Road, which is Page 36 of 48 Page 40 of 1180 November 20, 2025 currently being expanded potentially to a six -lane highway. So one, you know, as we were discussing it, you know, Wilson being there came up. And we understand if we were here today talking about something maybe further down the street on the corner of Wilson and Shady Hollow, we understand that that would be a lot to ask. However, with this being right off Immokalee Road, with the expansions that are currently occurring to Immokalee Road, you know, one of our thoughts is that this does fit within the growing community and within the growing area, and it fits -- it fills a need for this area that does have a lack of churches. Other than that, we have -- the church has proposed limiting themselves to only Wednesday operation and to only Sunday operation for limited hours. They're trying their best to fit within the community here and be a member of the community, not a nuisance to the community. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Commissioner McLeod. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Yeah. I think I have -- I have question -- not "I think." I have questions with regard to transportation, traffic. I was hoping Mike could come up to the podium. MR. DELATE: Good morning, Commissioner. It may be best that Jim Banks, our traffic consultant -- oh, I'm sorry, the other Mike. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Oh, yes, yes. Sorry. No, no, no. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: No, no. No, no. The other Mike. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Mike Sawyer. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: We've got a lot of Mikes around here. No, no, sir. You can have a seat. Thank you. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Every Mike came up. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Every Mike's up here. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Later? May we ask a question later? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Well, we've closed the public comment, but I may call you back up. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Okay, thank you. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Hello. MR. SAWYER: Good morning. For the record, Mike Sawyer. COMMMISSIONER McLEOD: Thank you, Mike. I have three questions for you. When is Immokalee scheduled to be a six -lane highway? MR. SAWYER: Okay. In this particular case, right now it is listed as a critical need in our LRTP both in -- the existing 2045 as well as the upcoming 2050. It is currently looked at going from two- to a four -lane separated facility in this location. COMMMISSIONER McLEOD: At what time, I'm sorry; the scheduled time? MR. SAWYER: Right now it isn't -- we don't have a date as far as when the improvement is actually going to occur. What it is, it's on our LRTP, the Long -Range Transportation Plan, as a need currently and that it is going to be going from a two-lane to a four -Lane separated facility. MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi. And I can help out a little bit as well. When Mike says, "The project's on the Long -Range Transportation Plan," it means it's outside of your Capital Improvement Element, your five- and your 10-year program. So it is beyond 10 years. The early -- I mean, it's -- it's definitely beyond 10 years before this road is going to be contemplated or constructed. So there is at least 10 years before the road would be anticipated. And based upon funding, funding availability could dictate that it could be even longer before the project gets started. COMMMISSIONER McLEOD: And you're saying even from a two- to a four -lane, or to the maximum six? MR. BOSI: Expansion beyond what it is today, to a four -lane. Page 37 of 48 Page 41 of 1180 November 20, 2025 COMMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay. And then, Mike, there was a concern about that island that happens before -- on -- COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: 41st. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Is it 41 st? Wait. Here's my map. Okay. Yeah, 41 st. So you have that island in front of there and you have to go all the way up to Shady Hollow and then turn around to do. Why is that? MR. SAWYER: Oftentimes when we've got a divided facility that -- you know, such as the one south where Immokalee is divided, you know, two lanes on both sides, what we try and do is we try and condense the number or reduce the number of median openings just so we can continue having traffic flow in both directions and keep capacity on those roadways as long as we possibly can. The idea is, yes, we do encourage the use of U-turns at those locations as far as getting people in and out of the residential streets. COMMMISSIONER McLEOD: But would that change once we develop that area? MR. SAWYER: It certainly could change. Right now we just got through revising our access management and adopting FDOT standards as far as median openings, and we are now fully compliant with those standards. We also do have the potential of having deviations from those because we just introduced that deviation process. But generally speaking, we try and keep -- we try and keep those medians and those separations as far as we possibly can just so that those -- we get the most out of those roadways. I guess that's what I'm trying to say. We're trying to keep the capacity as far as we possibly can out into the future. Whenever we have the -- have more median openings, more separation, more conflict points, those are the times when your capacity on your roadways comes down. So we look at -- when we look at the capacity on a roadway, we look at the number of lanes, certainly, the configuration, is it separated or not, the number of traffic signals, and the median openings, and at that all goes into a formula that says, okay, in this particular length, from this point to this point, all of those things add up to this particular capacity, and you'll see that in the AUIR. All of the roadways there have a capacity, and it is based on that formula. And what we try and do is we try and keep as much of that capacity as we possibly can, because we keep eating it up, quite honestly. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Right. Yeah. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Is that capacity based on peak hour? MR. SAWYER: Yes, and peak direction, and peak direction. You've got to remember we have directions on all of our roadways. It's generally north and east in the p.m. COMMMISSIONER McLEOD: And, Mike, my last question is, so staff is recommending that there not be access on Immokalee. Can you -- MR. SAWYER: Correct. The reason -- COMMMISSIONER McLEOD: -- explain the thinking behind that? MR. SAWYER: Yeah. The reason for that is that, again, it's the same type of thing: We don't have to have as -- we want to have as few conflict points on Immokalee, and having the access on the side street enables us to control that traffic better. Instead of having additional traffic coming directly onto Immokalee, we can control it better at the intersection. COMMMISSIONER McLEOD: It's just in my mind I'm thinking Immokalee's going to be this six -lane roadway, and it will eventually in my eyes have commercial up and down it. Is there an example here in the county where we did try to redirect traffic down a less trafficked roadway or less traveled roadway to avoid a commercial access from a major highway? MR. SAWYER: That's generally what we try and do in all cases. We try and get as much of the traffic onto secondary roadways instead of the primary whenever possible. COMMMISSIONER McLEOD: Do you have an example here in town where we -- where that's working well? MR. SAWYER: You can look at Livingston where you have eliminated access all up and Page 38 of 48 Page 42 of 1180 November 20, 2025 down Livingston. COMMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: 951 as well. MR. SAWYER: As opposed to Pine Ridge. If you look at the number of conflict points that we've got on Pine Ridge -- it's an older roadway. It's still six lanes. But if you compare that to Livingston, you'll experience a much different condition, much safer, and still retaining as much of that capacity on that potential roadway as possible. COMMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay. That's very interesting. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Mike, what staff reviewed, was there any -- was there any consideration for the Audubon park at the end, the traffic that's generated from that? MR. SAWYER: At this point, no. What we look at when we look at these requests is the trips that are generated by this particular use, and we look at what the capacity is on the adjacent roadways, on the ones that we track -- not the public road -- or the secondary roadways. What we look at is the primaries that we all keep track of that are the ones that are real critical for everybody. When it comes to the SDP, then it's a much deeper dive into the actual trips that the use is actually generating and how those are going to operate on those roadways. So if there are needs for additional turn lanes, if there is a need to extend an existing turn lane, those will all come out with the SDP. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Commissioner Shea. COMMISSIONER SHEA: This is a tough one for me. I was out there, and I'm very concerned. First of all, your traffic studies are done on peak hour. This particular application presents a totally different issue to me, which was with the Rookery. So we have two nonpeak-hour peak uses happening potentially at the same time. I'm very worried about any traffic calming getting out onto Immokalee for just the residents, much less having, you know, the church services and the Rookery happening at the same time. I'm looking for some comfort. Because you keep saying you've studied it -- and we do study it. We study it for the good of the whole, but we're not studying it for the good of the residents, because we're not looking at what is the true busiest time and the most -- probably most unsafe condition where you have a lot of cars leaving at the same time. So I'm -- I'm kind of confused in my mind which way to go with that. I'm very worried about what they're worried about. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Can I jump in and throw a little math into this? COMMISSIONER SHEA: Absolutely. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: The Rookery has roughly 50,000 visitors a year. That's a thousand a week. It's about 140, 150 a day. This church is proposing about 140, 150, once they get built out, during that short, call it, two-hour time frame for maybe the early morning mass and another two-hour time frame at maybe an 11 o'clock mass, whatever their schedule is actually going to be. The Rookery at the end, if it's, easy numbers, 150 people for the day, I don't think all that 150 are going to take place within those first few hours. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. But we do have a concentration of traffic use on a Sunday morning. Wednesday evening I'm not too worried about because probably traffic for the Rookery will be diminished by the time the 6 o'clock mass takes place, so that's not bad. And the other comment, a couple of years ago, 10 years ago, whatever it was, Rookery was at 35,000 in a year which, obviously, is roughly 80 cars a day coming to visit it. And I don't want this to be a negative comment against the Rookery and the nature. But at what point would you tell them you can't allow any more visitors because we don't want any more traffic on the road? It's just something to think of for concentration of traffic and where you're allowing the traffic to be the origination from, the church or people coming and going to the Sanctuary, Rookery. It's a tough call, but this is concentrated within a couple of hours maybe twice a day on Page 39 of 48 Page 43 of 1180 November 20, 2025 Sunday, and a couple hours one -- on Wednesday evenings which will probably not affect it at all, or very minimal. It almost sounds to me that residents on Shady Hollow are more concerned with people going to the Sanctuary than the church because that continues to increase. And what can be done about that? MR. RASMUSSEN: No, it's the intersection. It's the intersection. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Right. And the only way to get there is off of Immokalee down Shady Holly. MR. RASMUSSEN: It's the intersection -- COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay. So just simple math, we're talking about 150 cars for the two-, three-, four-hour period on a Sunday morning. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Trying to get on Immokalee -- trying to get on Immokalee Road. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: I would say 50 percent of that weekly -- that weekly traffic is going to be on Saturday and Sunday, and then I'd say 75 percent of that is going to be between 7 and 12 in the morning because it's just -- it's too hot to -- I go there every weekend. So it's just too hot to walk after 12 o'clock. So I see the traffic. I know -- I live -- live on Rookery Lane, so I border the Rookery, so -- COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: -- everything they're saying is pretty valid. I think -- I like churches. Churches are great. I think this is the wrong location for a good project. I think the -- there's other locations out there. There's one across the street. I just -- this is a residential street -- we're just putting a church on a residential street, and to increase the traffic on a residential street is not fair, in my opinion, to the existing neighbors. I felt -- you know, I felt sad when -- I mean, when Ms. Rasmussen -- I'm butchering your name -- said that the only 10 percent -- there's only a 10 percent chance of change once that white sign goes up. I -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I was once voted -- I voted no more than I voted yes, so don't worry, I don't think that's really all there. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: But no, I'm just --I can't support this project because it's just not the right location for the right -- for the right -- I support the project, but just not for this location. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Are we in discussion now? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: We're in discussion. And to be honest with you, there's a ton of projects -- that stat might be correct with the Board, but what statistic that's not out there is how many projects don't come to Planning Commission because staff interacts and is able to talk about them and tell them it's not going to work here and go through why. So, Mike, go ahead. MR. BOSI: And just to provide -- I'm not sure how that number was derived upon, but I can tell you that the majority of petitions that go to the Planning Commission leave the Planning Commission with additional conditions of approval, whether it be in the PUD or whether it be in the conditional use. So that 10 percent really maybe is about get ultimately denied, but in terms of what modified, every -- the majority of petitions that come before you will leave with additional conditions imposed within the PUD or additional conditions imposed within the conditions of approval based upon the testimony that you hear at the hearing from the individuals who are being affected by it. So take comfort in that. I think it was about denial compared to improvements to the project based upon the concerns that have been expressed by individuals who live in closer proximity. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I'm going to go to Commissioner Shea next, but I just wanted to ask you real quick, Golden Gate Estates residential, you develop a lot and put up a home, you can only clear 40 percent and retain 60 as wooded, roughly, approximately? Page 40 of 48 Page 44 of 1180 November 20, 2025 MR. BOSI: As open space, yes. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Yes, okay. Forty for your home, and then 60 is natural. That's kind of -- okay. Go ahead, Commissioner Shea. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Since we're in discussion, I just want to support Mike's opinion. I think -- I just don't feel right about this. I think this has more of a negative effect on -- I always try to balance community benefit versus neighborhood effect. I think the neighborhood effect caused mainly because it's on the street where the Rookery is, I think -- and the -- and some of the highway improvements on Immokalee could be 10, 20 years out, because you have plenty of capacity on Immokalee. I'm worried about the safety of getting on and off Immokalee. So for that reason, I think there are better locations as well. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Commissioner Colucci. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: While traffic is an issue, that's not my issue, that's not my big issue. My big issue is we're continually asked to balance between development and rural preservation. On this one, I'm sorry, I just come down in favor of preserving what we have when I think there are other places this church could be located. That's all I have to say. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Well, I think -- I think if we -- you know, there was a comment, is it essential service, I do think churches are essential. That's a given. Is it for a neighborhood center? You could -- you could argue that it's close to the new Publix and everything that's going in, which could be -- THE COURT REPORTER: Chair, can you get on your mic. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I'm sorry. I apologize. And then adjacent to -- you know, was it nonresidential use? I mean, there's a lot of points you could argue here. The issue that I have is if it was going to fit with the rural character, then 60 percent of this lot would stay woods. If it was connected to Immokalee Road versus a residential street, I also think that it would be a considerable use. But when you look at what the residents -- and I always go back to what the residents bought into. You bought into a single-family lot on a rural street, and that was the intention. It was never the intention -- if so, it would have been -- you would have had commercial out front. I did want to ask Mike, on that -- the future land use that went in, is it conditional use along Immokalee Road on that now, or is it still just Estates? MR. BOSI: No, it's still Estates, and part of -- we are going to engage within the -- an update to the Rural Golden Gate Estates Master Plan starting sometime in 2026 at the direction of the Board of County Commissioners, and part of that discussion is going to be identifying appropriate locations, expansions of existing neighborhood centers, maybe new neighborhood centers, but also the aspect of opening the Golden Gate Estates potentially and asking the residents what their perspective is related to allowing for conditional uses when you're on a collector or an arterial road, because if you look at the southern portion of Immokalee Road from this parcel, you see a transition of Randall -- or you see the 47 acres -- the curb. You see some of recent commercialization being added to these areas. And I think that's an improvement in bringing goods and services in closer proximity to some of the residents, but it most certainly is an area of transition. And at six lanes -- at six lanes, is it appropriate to have a single-family -- to have a single-family home that has access points to Immokalee Road, access on Immokalee Road? That doesn't -- you know, there are some folks that may feel they're comfortable living in those conditions. Other folks would feel that maybe a nonresidential use would be more appropriate, whether it be commercial or institutional, such as a church or other areas. We need to engage the community in those conversations because there is a transition happening within this area. If you also recall, the school bus barn that was for the school district, that's just a couple -- or that's no more than a quarter of a mile to the north of this facility that we're talking about. But I do recognize the issue of the Rookery facility at the end adding additional trips to this Page 41 of 48 Page 45 of 1180 November 20, 2025 local road that normally would not be part of the equation. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I mean, even the houses abutting Collier Boulevard are on a six -lane, and they turn out of their driveway onto Collier Boulevard, everything south from Vanderbilt all the way down to Golden Gate Parkway. So it's doable, and that's just how it's been. I mean, before that was expanded, it was a larger dirt road back to their homes. But anyway. Commissioner McLeod. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Yeah. I just wanted to make a point. It was noted that perhaps there's a better site for this church down the road on Immokalee, and that was not convincing to me. So you're moving it from one lot to another but along Immokalee. What has convinced me, though, is the conflicts with the timing of the church and the visits to the Sanctuary. So I had the same concerns as Mike and Paul, then, with this site location. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Well, I also have -- I also have safety concerns when people have shooting berms in their backyard. You know, we've got a charter school that's force -placing themselves in the middle of a residential shooting zone right now, and every house around that charter school have shooting berms. So that's why I was asking if you can hear gunfire, because I guarantee you that other people are shooting. Yes, they're responsible. Their ammunition is not expelled and going through the trees, but at the same time, that's not something I even want to question. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Quick question, if I can, for Mike. Why is this lot so much bigger, or am I not understanding it correctly? This is, what, 4.8 acres, something like that, and the other lots on the road are two and a quarter? MR. BOSI: For the most part, it is about two and a quarter. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Yeah. Was this lot intended to go more commercial, or it just happens to be a larger -- MR. BOSI: It just happens to be a lot that was never subdivided to the minimum two and a quarter acres that is required -- or that's the minimum lot size within the Estates. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay. MR. BOSI: There's no -- there was no directive or guidance within the Growth Management -- or Golden Gate Area Master Plan or the LDC that required these lots to be larger and not be subdivided. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Gotcha. And when the general maps are written for entrances on the lots, this particular large lot would never have had it going onto Immokalee. It would have always come onto Shady Hollow, correct? MR. BOSI: This lot, with the access -- with a local access road, would have -- even a residential property would gain access to a local road, but the lot above it, the lot above that, those two lots that are kind of sandwiched in, on the -- on the west side, they have to gain access to Immokalee Road. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: To Immokalee, because there is no other exit? MR. BOSI: There is the only -- that's the only access to the transportation system is the -- COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Right. They're landlocked. MR. BOSI: Yes. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Okay. All right. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. So we'll close discussion. So if anyone would like to make a motion on PL20240013798 and its companion, PL20240012938, please do so. COMMISSIONER SHEA: I'll make a motion that we reject both of them on the grounds of the discussion that you've heard previously. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: I'll second that. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: All in favor? COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Aye. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Aye. Page 42 of 48 Page 46 of 1180 November 20, 2025 CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Aye. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Motion carries. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Against? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Against, PL -- carries against. COMMISSIONER SHEA: No, I'm confused. Did we vote unanimously? COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Yes. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Oh, okay. MR. BOSI: And that was the clarification, was it unanimous with unanimous recommendation of denial? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Yes. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Correct. MR. BOSI: Thank you. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: All right. Moving on, so we have PL20 -- Terri, keep going? THE COURT REPORTER: (Nods head.) CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: This is going to be a quick one. Terri's saying you can keep going. She's running the show. I'm just here. ***PL20240008204, the Milestone Tower conditional -use southwest corner of Everglades Boulevard North and 58th Avenue Northeast. Sorry. Start with disclosures, if I may, first. MS. LOCKHART: Staff materials only. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Staff materials only. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Staff materials only. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Staff materials only. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Staff materials. Oh, I'm sorry. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Punch bug. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Patience. Staff materials only. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: We'll ask Commissioner Colucci when he comes back. All those wishing to speak on the matter or public comment, please raise -- stand, raise your hand, and be sworn in. THE COURT REPORTER: Do you swear or affirm the testimony you will give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated in the affirmative.) CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Good afternoon. MS. SOLIK: Good afternoon. Mary Solik, 121 South Orange Avenue, Suite 1500, Orlando, Florida. I am legal counsel for Milestone Towers. This is a proposal for a monopole tower in the Estates district. And Milestone Towers is a Virginia -based cell tower developer. I like to say that companies like Milestone are the developers of vertical real estate. They build wireless towers and then lease the space on the towers to the licensed carriers in the marketplace. This is 160-foot monopole tower. Verizon is the anchor tenant, but we also have T-Mobile committed to install on this tower. It's a little bit unusual to get two carriers out of the gate on a tower, and that is a strong indication of the need in the community for expanded wireless service. This is the -- that was a really cool arrow thing I saw before. Does that work -- MR. BOSI: Touch anywhere. MS. SOLIK: Okay. This technology is new to me. Right here is our tower location. We're on the southwest corner of 58th Avenue Northeast Page 43 of 48 Page 47 of 1180 November 20, 2025 and Everglades Boulevard. It's on a 2.65-acre parcel. This is Everglades Boulevard here running north and south. These are the Verizon existing proposed and proposed without propagation maps that we were required to submit as part of our application. Unfortunately, we did not -- we weren't able to get a Verizon rep here today. We will have a Verizon rep at the BOCC hearing. But I've been doing cell tower zoning work for 30 years, and I play an RF engineer on TV quite often, so I'll walk you through this. The blue -- the blue dot is the proposed location. The green dot -- the green areas that surround yellow dots are locations where Verizon has existing sites on air. The yellow dots are proposed Verizon sites that are coming on air. There's a new tower up here, there's a new tower that's been approved down here, and then Verizon is proposing a small cell installation that's in permitting right now, I believe, along Oil Well Road. So this map here shows the existing coverage when you put all of those other proposed Verizon facilities on air. And we still have red areas. Green area -- green is good; that's reliable coverage. Red area is unreliable coverage. So our blue dot here is right in the center of this area that has unreliable coverage, and this third slide is the addition of the proposed tower, and the red goes to green. This is the T-Mobile Verizon -- T-Mobile propagation maps, and Olga Maffeo is here with me today. She is the T-Mobile RF engineer. So I'd her to come up and walk you through this. I should also have introduced Matt Forkas. He's sitting over there. He's with Milestone. He's the project engineer. He flew down from D.C. for this particular hearing. So, Olga, if you want to come up and walk them through what you've got going on out there. MS. MAFFEO: Good morning. I'm Olga Maffeo. I work for T-Mobile, live in Boca Raton, Florida. So the existing coverage in this area is very poor, as Mary explained, not only for Verizon but also for T-Mobile customers. So at this point we're trying to deploy or trying to work with other tower companies to provide service -- reliable service to this area, and this is one of the towers we are trying to support and make sure that we are collocated as a second carrier. So blue is no service. We do a little more explanation. We have different levels. We put more than Verizon does. But no service, and then we have poor, moderate, and reliable. The idea is to have really reliable coverage for all customers in the different areas that only provides in -building and outdoor coverage at the same time. Right now the in -building coverage is basically not in this -- in this areas of about a mile and a half, and that's what the tower is going to provide reliable coverage for. And the second -- the second map shows the coverage with this particular tower, and we also have other -- other plan, and the third map shows the other towers that we're trying to collocate with, too, so, you know, to make the whole area more reliable for every customer that we have. MS. SOLIK: And, Olga, is this -- is this down here -- this is the one that's south of Oil Well Road that's been approved, the same one that Verizon's going to be -- it's preparing to install on. MS. MAFFEO: That's correct. MS. SOLIK: So that's one that's already in the works. So this is the proposed tower location up here. Here is our site design. This is a 2.65-acre parcel. It has been subdivided from a five -acre parcel. Our landlord is also the owner of the property to the west, and that is the remainder of the five acres, and I believe he plans to build a struc -- a residential home on the western property that's not shown in this map. So our site's 2.65 acres, meets the minimum of 2.25 acres for Estates and the minimum in Estates to put a cell tower on. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: So are you leasing this, or are you purchasing this lot? MS. SOLIK: We lease the tower site. Page 44 of 48 Page 48 of 1180 November 20, 2025 CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: But you own the property? MS. SOLIK: No. Our landlord owns -- Evo Builders -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Oh, so the five acres is five acres. It's not subdivided? MS. SOLIK: Evo Builders has subdivided what -- you see here -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I'm just talking about from, like, a property tax position, like -- it's not two owners. Is it still one owner of the lot? MS. SOLIK: It's one owner of the lot. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: All right. That's fine. Thank you. MS. SOLIK: But your Property Appraiser will carve out -- once this is done, the Property Appraiser will carve out a little square on here because that will be taxed differently, and Milestone is responsible for that different taxation. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Got it. MS. SOLIK: So it's a 160-foot tower that code required that we be our tower height away from the property lines. We meet the setbacks all directions: 161 to the north -- or 161 to the east, 160 to the north, 161.7 to the south, and 181 to the west. This is our -- this area here is our native vegetation preservation area required under the code, 10 percent of the lot. The lot's heavily treed, and all of that other vegetation around here is all scheduled to remain. Like I said, the landowner owns the property, the 2.6 -- 2.25 acres to the west, and that's where he intends to build his home. The tower goes right in the center. The four carriers' ground equipment is located in here. It's proposed for an 8-foot fence that meets the code, and the 10-foot-wide Schedule D landscape buffer around the base of the tower. We meet all of the code requirements for the performance criteria for towers. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: If I may ask just another question. I saw in the packet there will be no light on this tower. MS. SOLIK: Correct. Anything under 200 feet does not -- doesn't need a light. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Does not need a light, okay. Thank you. COMMISSIONER SHEA: So this tower doesn't collapse on itself because you have a -- MS. SOLIK: It does. Well, it has -- it has -- it will be designed to have a 25-foot-fall-zone radius, which is all within the compound. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Oh, okay. MS. SOLIK: And the -- they buckle -- exactly. They buckle over on themselves. And the engineering support letter for that determination was in your package. This is the design. It is a monopole. It's 160 feet to the top of the steel. It has a 4-foot lightning rod on the top. And then these are the proposed Verizon antennas at -- mounted at 155. The T-Mobile antennas will be at a center line of 145, and the tower will be capable of supporting two additional users, here and here. And here's our stone wall at the bottom, and that is a code requirement that you allow for collocation on the towers. I think we're only required to have three users, but it will be designed for four. And it will meet the needs of all of the licensed carriers in your marketplace. Community benefits, enhanced public safety. We're seeing numbers up close to 90 percent across Florida in terms of how many 911 s calls come into your sheriff s departments for 911 service. It's approaching 90 percent come in from wireless phones. Increased economic activity, you know, benefits all of the user -- you know, all the devices the users want to use in their homes. It will add choices for connectivity out of the gate. We'll have two users that will be using the towers, so there will be enhanced service and consumer choice. And then once we -- once we get that tower in the air, I think you'll see the other carriers on there as soon as their budgets allow. And you heard a lot about Golden Gate Estates rural GMP policies today. Your county did adopt an amendment in 2019 to allow for communication towers in Golden Gate Estates. That is why you're seeing so many of these applications come in. We weren't allowed to get into this Page 45 of 48 Page 49 of 1180 November 20, 2025 community to provide service prior to this Comp Plan amendment. And I took this language here right from the staff report for the LDC amendment that was done to implement the Comp Plan change. And this -- that amendment apparently originated from the majority of residents surveyed, really requesting and needing enhanced service. So that's the end of my presentation. I have to say to you I was in Charlotte County yesterday, and I packed the house. And ironically, it was a cell tower on a church property. And we were the last item on the agenda, like today, and we got an approval, and the county security staff made the board members and our application team stay in the room for a while, and then they escorted all of us to our cars. So you should very much appreciate that I have not brought you an angry mob today. We sent out over 1,100 letters for our community meeting. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Did it pass? MS. SOLIK: With that, we would ask for the approval. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Did you win? MS. SOLIK: Yes, 3-1, 3-1. Yes. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Wow. MS. SOLIK: So we would ask for your recommendation today to the Board. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: So -- COMMISSIONER SHEA: Staff? CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Staff report. MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. As contained in the staff report, staff is recommending approval. We've got a couple conditions, minor. The applicant, I believe, has agreed to those conditions. I would agree with them this is the reason why we amended the Golden Gate Area Master Plan to lift the conditional -use prohibitions specifically for communication towers. It's all the reasons why the applicant has indicated, emergency service connectivity. You know, it's just -- there was an inability to provide reliable service to the Estates. Now that we've allowed cell towers to be located within -- if you're adjacent to a collector or arterial road, we're seeing more and more towers, and you're seeing more and more coverage being propagated. And I will say, having two towers -- or two carriers on deck before the tower is even submitted does indicate that this tower will be of value to the community and will provide the increased communication ability and reliability, and staff is fully in support of it, and can answer any questions that you may have. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I'm not seeing any questions. Oh, go ahead. I'm sorry. Oh, you're right, I'm sorry. Commissioner McLeod. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: I've been waiting. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I apologize. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: It's Mary, right? MS. SOLIK: Yes. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Mary, can you -- just out of curiosity, how do these types of projects get put together? Like, I see that Evo Builders is the owner of the land. Like, did you seek him out or -- MS. SOLIK: That's a very good question. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: -- do you partner together to come up with something like this? MS. SOLIK: That's a very good question. And I will tell you that we've probably been in this process for a year and a half, Matt, before we yet to hear. It takes a lot of -- there's a lot of runway before we get to a board hearing. We -- companies like Milestone start with the request from their client, their customer, Verizon, and Verizon says, "I need a tower, and I need it in this little quarter -mile search ring. I need it in this tiny little area. Go find me -- go build me a tower in that location." So we take that location, and then we look at your code, first of all, to see where we can do it, and then we start Page 46 of 48 Page 50 of 1180 November 20, 2025 approaching property owners. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay. MS. SOLIK: Now, in this particular instance, we have to be on 2.25 acres, and we have to be on an arterial or collector road, and that limited us to properties that fronted on Everglades Boulevard. So we start looking around, and then we start approaching landlords. And I've -- I told you I've been doing this for 30 years. We have an acronym that I kind of developed. Buildable -- BLZ, buildable, leasable, zonable. So we find a site that's not all wetlands, that's got access, that doesn't have an eagle's nest on it or something else that would prohibit us from putting a tower on it, and then we have to find a willing landlord. And this landlord has given us the dead center of his property. That's unusual, you know, because, really, we've taken the utility out of his property, and then we have to find something that's zonable. So we have a lot of different layers that overlay the starting point, which is the technology. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: And then there's been three or four different tower requests that have come before us in this last year, and there's a different agent for each of these requests. MS. SOLIK: Different company? COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Yeah. MS. SOLIK: Yeah. When I started this, all of the carriers built their own towers. I must have done 300 towers for T-Mobile all over the state of Florida. And then the tower companies -- or the wireless carriers decided that -- that infrastructure was not their core business, and a lot of them sold their portfolios, and then a new industry sprung up, and that is the -- like I said, the vertical real estate guys, the companies like Milestone. So they're out there trying to find -- you know, partnering with the carriers to do what's really kind of become a build -to -suit industry. So that's why you see different -- the carriers are all the same, but the companies are different. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Right. Okay. Great. Thank you. I guess I'll make a motion to approve. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Public comment? Any public comment? MS. SOLIK: Look at this. Whoa. MR. SABO: No -- CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: No public comment? MR. SABO: No public comment or angry mob. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: I think I got -- I think somebody's calling me from Charlotte County right now. Hold on. All right. So there's no -- we close. Now, for Board discussion, I'm just going to make a motion to approve as presented. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: I'll second. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Unless there's any -- there's a second. Is there any discussion? COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Michelle, any comments? COMMISSIONER McLEOD: No. Thank you for covering for me. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: All in favor? COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Aye. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER SPARRAZZA: Aye. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: It passes unanimously. MS. SOLIK: Thank you, all. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: Thank you. Page 47 of 48 Page 51 of 1180 November 20, 2025 All right. Great meeting, everybody. I'm going to go to church tonight and pray. Yeah, I don't think she needs security to get out. Mike will walk her out. All right. With that being said, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving, and we'll see you back here right before Christmas. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: December 4th. CHAIRMAN SCHUMACHER: December 4th. Meeting adjourned. Have a great day. There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was adjourned by order of the Chair at 12:24 p.m. COLLIER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION JOE SCHMITT, CHAIRMAN These minutes approved by the Board on , as presented or as corrected TRANSCRIPT PREPARED ON BEHALF OF VERITEXT BY TERRI L.

McLeod Charles "Chap" Colucci ABSENT: Randy Sparrazza Amy Lockhart, Collier County School Board Representative ALSO PRESENT: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning Director Eric Johnson, Planner Manager Heidi Ashton-Cicko, Managing Assistant County Attorney Courtney DeSilva, County Attorney's Office Ailyn Padron, Management Analyst I James Sabo, Planner III Page 1 of 17 Page 54 of 1180 December 4, 2025 PROCEEDINGS MR. BOSI: Chair, you have a live mic. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Thank you. And good morning, everyone, and welcome to the December 4th, 2025, Collier County Planning Commission. I ask that we please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. (The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison.) CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: All right. Commissioner Shea, if -- I ask if you take roll, please. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Chairman Schmitt? CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I'm here. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Vice Chair Schumacher? COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Here. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Secretary Shea is here. Commissioner Sparrazza is not here. Commissioner Colucci? COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Here. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Commissioner McLeod? COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Here. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Commissioner Petscher? COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Here. COMMISSIONER SHEA: And Ms. Lockhart is not here. So we have a quorum, sir. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Excellent. We have a quorum, so we'll -- are there any addendum to the agenda? MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. No, no agenda changes. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: No agenda changes, okay. Please note our next meeting scheduled for December 18th, 2025, has been canceled, and our meeting that was -- typically would be scheduled two weeks later is January 1 st, and that being a holiday, we will not meet on January 1 st unless you -all decide you want to come in and meet on January 1 st. I see no hands raised, so we won't do that. So our next scheduled meeting is actually January 15th, 2026. MR. BOSI: And right now we have five petitions. So hopefully we can get a quorum for that meeting. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: All right. Is anybody projected to be absent from that meeting? (No response.) CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: It looks like we'll have a quorum. Excellent. And, Mike, do you have any BCC report? MR. BOSI: The BCC has not met since the last time that the Planning Commission has met. They'll be meeting next Tuesday, because they only had one meeting in November. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: When's the Greenway Fritchey -- MR. BOSI: Greenway Fritchey is -- right now is scheduled for summary agenda on the -- Tuesday the 9th, but I'm not sure if it's going to remain on summary. We did have the one individual who spoke against it at your -- at transmittal. They did not show up to the Planning Commission at adoption when the PUD was -- was brought back. So our assumption was that their issues were satisfied. I'm not sure if they're going to pull -- if they're going to show up to pull it, so it may be discussed next Tuesday. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Well, I guarantee it's going to be pulled, because Fiddler's Creek is going to come in and ask for a -- what do you call it? A fair -share proportionate contribution. So that -- you'll probably see that letter come in. If not today, it will be Monday. But it's probably tomorrow. I mean today. Today or tomorrow you'll see that letter come from -- Tony Pires is preparing a letter. He's the representative for both CDDs. Page 2 of 17 Page 55 of 1180 December 4, 2025 All right. Well -- and next item, then, is approval of minutes. In your agenda, November 6th, 2025, CCPC meeting minutes. Are there any addendum -- or addenda to the minutes? (No response.) COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Motion to approve. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: And do I hear a second? COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Second. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: All in favor, say aye. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: (No verbal response.) COMMISSIONER SHEA: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Aye. COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Any opposed, like sign. (No response.) CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: None, so it passes unanimously. Excellent. And with that, Chairman's report, nothing, and nothing on the consent agenda. And the next items are public hearing. These with -- both items are legislative in nature, so there's no disclosures required. * "And with that, there's no need for anybody wishing to speak to be sworn in since they're legislative in nature, so we'll proceed with the first item on the agenda, and that item is an amendment. I'm not going to read the whole thing, but this is an amendment. It's PL20250010243. It's the development order process and timeline LDCA, an ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners amending Ordinance No. 04-41, as amended, the Collier County Land Development Code, which includes the comprehensive land regulations for the unincorporated area of Collier County, Florida. Specifically it's to revise time frames for processing applications for approval of development permits and development orders. So with that -- I'm not going to read the rest of it, but, Richard, you can proceed with that item, if you would. MR. HENDERLONG: Good morning, Chairman and members. Is this on? Good morning, Mr. Chairman and Commissioners. This is a request that is to establish compliance with new state law that was passed in July -- or October 1 of 2025. More specifically, it's Florida Statute 125.022 and Florida Statute 166.033. It revises the time frame as mentioned for processing the applications for the approval of development permits or development orders by local governments. The terms "development permit" and "order" do not apply to the processing time frames for building permits. The reason is because the building permit processing times are regulated separately by the Florida Building Code, Section 553.792. Exhibit C, which I have on your visualizer, illustrates the GM/CD portal intake process leading up to when an application is deemed complete. I'll go over the key elements of the application and process. First, the law requires that the application such as zoning/rezone subdivision approvals, certifications, special exceptions, and variances, additional information to be available to the applicant. Also, to revise the time frames for processing these applications and to provide for refund parameter when the county or a municipality fails to make certain time frames except when the applicant waives that time frame. So the County may not request -- one of the key -- other elements is that the County may not request additional information from the applicant limited no more than three times unless the applicant waives that limitation in writing. And before a third request for the additional information, the applicant must be offered a meeting to attempt to resolve any outstanding issues. So when the application is deemed complete, that's when it's ready for review of the County to either approve, approve with Page 3 of 17 Page 56 of 1180 December 4, 2025 condition, or deny the application within 120 days for non -quasi-judicial hearing applications or 180 days for quasi-judicial hearing applications. Also, there is a provision that during a public hearing or meeting, the applicant and the County can agree to an additional extension of the time period between the 120 or the 180 days. So on this visualizer, if you look at the top, it shows the website requirement there, and then below it is the intake process with the arrow. And that process is currently being implemented by the department. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Richard, in a nutshell, you have first request, second request, third request. MR. HENDERLONG: Right. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Typically -- now I'll withdraw the word "typically." It's been my experience, when I was in the Community Development at the time with the Growth Management, it seems that applications would come in, they would be deemed sufficient, they'd go through review, and then they'd get comments, comments based on requirements in the LDC or whether in the -- whether in the -- well, primarily LDC requirements -- MR. HENDERLONG: Correct. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: -- that define what needs to be required as far as any type of submittal. And oftentimes, the County review process was, frankly, used as almost a -- let's get the comments from the County and see what we have to correct as sort of a quality control measure rather than a complete submittal. Based on those comments, how does this law impact that? MR. HENDERLONG: Very differently. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I submit an application. I get comments back. The clock starts over again? MR. HENDERLONG: No, not exactly. How it works is we have a pre -application meeting -- and let's just talk rezones for the moment -- CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Yeah. MR. HENDERLONG: -- rather than an SDP or Site Development permit. There's a pre -application meeting. It is during that meeting that the planners go over the issues that they're going to want to get questions to -- or I mean answers to their questions so that when they make the formal application, that's when this system on the intake begins to apply, okay, and that's when it would start. So at that first -- once the application -- they pay their fee and that application is initiated, intake is working up on the front to make sure that it's been notified. Our CityView system is preprogrammed to deal with tracking these time moments just for everyone's awareness. And the wonderful thing about CityView is that the respondents -- the reviewers have that 10-day period to provide answers to those questions. Once they get it back, the applicant gets it back, he has a time clock, 30 days to respond or raise additional questions, okay, or he can say he's fine with it, all right? That's Step 1. The second step comes along when he says he's got more questions as a follow-up. So every time you go to a second review for comments, that's where that 30-day time clock period comes in, and that's where the first request, the applicant submits that response within 30 days on that first line, and the County is obligated to permit a letter, and it goes electronically by email back to the applicant. We have four or five draft letters. They're actually implementing these letters already to the applicant so they're getting them by right. The second request, if there is a second request, that -- we have to follow that. That letter comes out sooner, within 10 days as opposed to 30 days. So before the third request, the applicant has to be offered a meeting to resolve any outstanding issues. So at the third request, that comes back within 30 days. It says the information must be deemed complete or proceed to process the application for approval or denial unless they waive the time limits. Each one of the letters has a provision for an option. The County can't request the time limit waiver, but it does have a check box in all of these applications to waive that time limit in anticipation that it's going Page 4 of 17 Page 57 of 1180 December 4, 2025 to take more time. Some of these, as you know, for, like, SAs [sic], SRAs, they're going to be exhaustive. They can run for a while, correct, and this allows the ability for a time waiver limit to be introduced. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: But what I don't -- I do not believe that the County should be penalized for making comments that are legitimate and then the applicant being -- saying, well, you're not reviewing my application in a timely manner when, in fact, the County is. It's just that it was a poor submittal. MR. HENDERLONG: No. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: And with many errors or not in compliance with the LDC. And I don't think the County staff should be held responsible for -- I don't -- I'll use the word -- the incompetence of a poor application. MR. HENDERLONG: Well, keep in mind that if they don't respond within that 30 days, the County's going to be forced to -- it's going to deny that application because it's insufficient or it's deemed incomplete. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Well, in fact, that's what should happen is deny it. MR. HENDERLONG: Right. And that's what they're going to do. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I mean, this whole -- the whole state legislature and the law was dependent upon the fact that it's a complete and substantial application and it's in compliance with the local laws and requirements. If it's deemed not to be, then the County should not be held responsible. The onus should be on the applicant. MR. HENDERLONG: Again, the difference is the word -- the operative word is "complete." CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Okay. MR. HENDERLONG: When is the application deemed complete? And that doesn't occur till after the intake when you look at the -- let me bring this down. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Mike, go ahead. Then I've got Michelle. MR. BOSI: Chair, and what -- there's two separate processes we're talking about here. The time frame really starts after they've passed the sufficiency. So sufficiency is we get an application in. There's a number of things that are checked off at the pre -application meeting that need to be there. The intake team will review that application for sufficiency to make sure everything that's required has to -- is there. If that is -- if that is complete, then they send that -- they'll send that application to the reviewers, and that starts the substantive review. That's when the time clock starts for the 120 days or the 180 days is when the actual substantive review's going on. The back and forth that happens during the sufficiency -- there are time frames that Richard was talking about, but you're right, that's just making sure the application is complete for review, because if we have that 120- or 180-day time clock, we want to make sure that everything's there -- is there so we can -- we can make sure we -- we are attending to those time frames. And one of the keys is is we always give the option for the application to waive their -- waive the time limits if they want, because say a rezone application, a rezone application will hardly ever be heard before the Board of County Commissioners within 180 days of that -- of that application being sent to staff for their first review. There is neighborhood information meetings. There's the staff review. There's the Planning Commission. There's advertising days for that. So we have checks -- we have -- we have the ability for the applicant to say, "Oh, we'll waive that because we know that we're probably not going to get through in 180 days or 120 days." If they don't waive that and we hit that 179 or 119, we automatically deny that application, and then they have to go back in and resubmit and start the whole process over again. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Okay. MR. BOSI: So that's really the overview of what the State was saying. And this is just another instance of the state statute, I think, being -- I think being influenced by developers who have experienced elongated delays within a county or a jurisdiction, and there's -- and they're saying to the legislature, "We can't get our projects out." They're stuck in permitting for so long. So the State is mandating how long we have. So we respect that. We're changing our code to mirror what those requirements are, but we're Page 5 of 17 Page 58 of 1180 December 4, 2025 giving the applicant an out, and we are encouraging -- especially for land -use petitions, we are encouraging our applicants, "In the best interest of your client, it's probably best that you're going sign this waiver." Their agents are on top of us all the time, because if it's sitting in review and it's a 30-day review and we're at day 29, they want to know where the review is. And that -- so we're not taking longer than what we're supposed to. It's just the state legislature has felt it was in the best interest to interject to every locality that this is the time frame you're going to be working at. So we're kind of -- we're working within that system, but we have an automatic out for the applicants, and we encourage those applicants, for the best interest of your clients, you probably want to sign this waiver. We're not going to be sitting on applications. That's not how we, you know, do our business. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Well, yeah, I mean, I understand the real purpose is not -- for an application to come in and not just sit there and not be reviewed. MR. BOSI: Yeah. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: That's the purpose of the law. MR. BOSI: Yeah. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: But the law doesn't mean you should automatically approve it -- MR. JOHNSON: No. MR. HENDERLONG: No. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: -- within that time frame, because there are -- subject to the -- conforming with the LDC requirements and meeting all the other stipulations as far as land development. Michelle, go ahead. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Yeah, I like the part about where it -- after it's rejected so many times, then the County is required to set up a meeting with the applicant to review what the problem is, because sometimes there's a code that's been changed and the applicant doesn't know it, and so it's this endless cycle of submittals and rejections. MR. HENDERLONG: Good point. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: And so I really like that. But the only -- my only concern is do we have the workforce to accommodate all of these meetings that we're going to have to do now to help them? MR. BOSI: And, Mike Bosi, again, Zoning director. We do. I mean, we are always on a -- it seems like a minimal or short -- you know, staffing. But even before this law came into effect, after a review is provided to the applicant, we always invite the applicant, "Would you like to have a post review meeting with county staff so that you can specifically talk about" -- COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Right. MR. BOSI: Because you get the written documentation of a four- or five -page re -submittal letter. Sometimes there's -- the specifics get lost in the verbiage, and a verbal communication can help, you know, address some of these issues quickly. So we always -- as a matter of practice, we have set this up -- for years we've had these post -review meetings that if an applicant wants to, if they're willing to sit down with the county staff, we'll tell them exactly what we're looking for; what needs to be addressed, so -- COMMISSIONER McLEOD: That's awesome. MR. BOSI: -- yeah, it does place a little extra pressure upon staff. But I think we have -- we have the manpower to be able to maintain it and still provide the level of service, you know, to the other applications that are there. MR. HENDERLONG: We just want to add to that that we're actually doing that now already. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Yeah. MR. HENDERLONG: And that's the beauty of our CityView system, that we're able to track it, follow it, because the -- if you fail on this, for some reason if the County failed on the site, there's a 10, 20, 30 percent, depending upon where that is in the process, refundable fees. The County has no intention of refunding any fees, and they don't see that happening. And that was also talked about at the DSAC Page 6 of 17 Page 59 of 1180 December 4, 2025 meeting. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: And in my experience in the federal government side as well in the permitting side, oftentimes the AE firms, okay, will use the excuse, "I can't get my permit." Well, you can't get your permit because you didn't submit it properly or it was not in compliance or many other reasons. But the County always becomes the -- almost a fall guy saying, yeah, yeah, I can blame it on the county I can't get my permit. The commissioners hear that all the time. But never self -- in a self -reflection mode and say, "Well, I didn't get the permit because it was not a very good application." Go ahead. MR. BOSI: And I would add, Mr. French, who will not -- who has advised us that we're not providing refunds, so we're going to make sure that we're within the confines of what the law says. It reminds us that CityView is extremely transactional, and it documents the transaction. So when we get those complaints, you know, that the County is taking a lot of time, we'll get the owner. Not the applicant, but it's the owner that the applicant's representing will call in or come in, and we'll show them how much that it's with us compared to how much with the applicant. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Right. MR. BOSI: And the majority of the time, we meet our 30- or a 15-day, whatever the review period is. It's the applicant that's taking a little bit of extra time. And that's fine, but we won't accept the responsibility of why it's taking extra time because of our delay. It's because of their delay. MR. JOHNSON: Right. We don't want to take the blame. MR. HENDERLONG: So I've got -- I'm just going to tell you the five letters -- email letters that go out, okay, regardless of whether it's a rezone, the first one is if the application is totally complete, that starts the process. The next one has another letter that goes out. Incomplete letters that are deficient. The other one is a review comment dealing with rejections. The third is a notice before the County intends to deny it, and then the actual denial. But just so you know, those are already uploading and being implemented through the CityView transactional process. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Okay. Well, I don't -- I mean, the LDC amendment is pretty straightforward. I was just trying to -- MR. HENDERLONG: Clarify. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: -- enlighten some of my colleagues up here on the process, and often who -- the County is -- easily can become the fall guy when, in fact, many times it's not -- they're not -- they're not the problem. But any of the commissioners see any problems with the LDC amendment? It's pretty straightforward. (No response.) CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Richard, do you have any anything else? MR. HENDERLONG: No, sir, just to make everyone aware this applies throughout the whole state of Florida. It applies also to the cities and those communities that do not have a system -- electronic system set up like Collier County. They're going to be at risk in having to deal more readily with these refund fees. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Do I hear a motion to approve the LDC as written? COMMISSIONER McLEOD: So moved. COMMISSIONER SHEA: So moved. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Second? COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Second. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: All in favor, say aye. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: (No verbal response.) COMMISSIONER SHEA: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Aye. COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Aye. Page 7 of 17 Page 60 of 1180 December 4, 2025 COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Any opposed, like sign. (No response.) CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: And it passes. Yeah. I just want to make sure folks understand that the County pretty much leans forward, and they have in the past. I can tell you on the federal government side, oftentimes it's really a staffing issue, especially when you're dealing with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Those applications can take 15, 18 months under the review of the 404 process, which is mainly because of staffing. ***Anyways, next item, and this is under old business. We heard this in the past, and I'll read it. This is 10A, PL20250000235. These are floating solar facilities. Part of an LDC. It's an ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners amending the Ordinance No. 04-41, as amended, the Collier County Land Development Code, and then we're going to address floating solar panels. I will not read the rest of it because it's in the public advertising. But, Richard, please go ahead. MR. HENDERLONG: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This -- as you know, you had seen this before in May of 2025. On June 20th, '24 [sic], during staff s request to waive a nighttime hearing and hold two regularly scheduled Board daytime meetings, the Board approved the request to waive the hearing but further agreed to continue a discussion on what are the appropriate land -use categories for floating solar facilities. The Board gave staff at that time some direction on moving forward with the amendment and provided guidance that we are to protect neighborhoods, allow them at least in public use areas and in an other areas -- and in an other -use request, whether it be a principal or an accessory use to require a conditional use but not allow them in the Estates, travel trailer/recreational vehicle campground, and residential zoning districts. The Board further agreed to continue a discussion on whether agricultural and commercial areas are appropriate land uses once the staff would bring this amendment back. So as a follow-up to their direction, you have before you additional text being presented that are highlighted in yellow, and in particular on environmental impacts as they relate to floating solar facilities. These impacts have been and continue to be assessed by other Florida solar facility projects such as Miami -Dade planning, engineering, and environmental departments of the Collier County's Water Pollution Control. In addition to the amendment, there is a draft Administrative Code which you have not seen before. It's being introduced, which the Board will consider after the amendment has been approved and adopted by the Board. So I don't have my PowerPoint. I'm going to go -- read to you the PowerPoint on this. We're not -- apparently having a problem setting that up. MR. JOHNSON: And, Mr. Chair, while Rich is looking for that, this is Eric Johnson, planning manager. To just remind everyone that we're doing this amendment to comply with the Florida Statutes. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Yes. MR. JOHNSON: We're also wanting to be consistent with the Board's direction for staff, and that was to -- we're going to -- we're going to allow floating solar facilities as a conditional use in the "A" zoning district; the rural agricultural zoning district, conditional use in the C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, and C-5 districts. MR. HENDERLONG: That's on the PowerPoint slide, Eric. MR. JOHNSON: And a conditional use in the industrial zoning district as well as the business park district. It would be permitted by right in the "P," the public use district. So I just wanted to -- remember we talked about, you know, permitted by right versus conditional. We're proposing to allow it conditionally in those zoning districts that I just mentioned and then permitted by right in the "P" zoning district. Rich also had provided in the section of the code that's specific to floating solar facilities a lot of highlighted yellow text. That would have been -- that represents the change that occurred since the last Page 8 of 17 Page 61 of 1180 December 4, 2025 time you reviewed this earlier this year. Does that make sense? MR. HENDERLONG: I'll go over those elements for you -- or provisions for you. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Commissioner Shea. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Something we were talking about earlier, what do we do about land -based solar? Are we silent on that? MR. JOHNSON: And that's a good question that you ask that, because -- COMMISSIONER SHEA: Well, Richard told me that question, so... MR. JOHNSON: Sorry to interrupt. I was just excited. We had talked to you guys earlier this year, and I think that you kind of gave us a direction that we would move forward with land -based solar facilities, and we actually kind of wanted to memorialize that in a vote today, you know, if you're in favor of that, that we want to proceed with creating regulations for land -based or ground -based solar facilities. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Why wouldn't we be in favor? MR. JOHNSON: Well, I didn't want to be presumptuous. (Simultaneous crosstalk.) MR. JOHNSON: I'm thinking that you'd be in favor of it. MR. BOSI: And I could add a little bit more depth to that in the sense that the Florida Statutes require that we permit land -based solar in the agricultural zoning district. We are allowed to provide for adequate buffering. Very -- they've got some strict limitations as to how we can and can't treat them, but one of the things they do allow us is how -- how we are going to buffer them from, say, the right-of-way. So we want to be able to move forward and have an LDC amendment that's going to address, you know, how we're going to deal with land -based solar so we can make sure that they're not going to -- they're not going to provide for, you know, a visual impairment in terms of adjoining properties and right-of-way. Because I'm not sure if you've ever -- if you've ever driven past a solar field, they're not the most pleasant -looking facilities, and we think some adequate -- some softening of the edges with buffering, which the State does allow us, is what we're going to be working on with the LDC amendment team looking at some of the best practices that have been adopted already by some other Florida counties. So that's what we're really asking for in that regard. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Yeah, one question, Michelle, before. I'm just trying to think of the -- are there federal requirements? I can't think of any in regards to permitting of this as well. I don't think it -- does it involve the Clean Water Act or Endangered Species Act? I don't think so. I just don't know. MR. HENDERLONG: It does at the time when it comes to the location and the review of the plan. It goes along with any other permit to the extent that -- and I'll talk about that as we move forward with this on the elements and the changes, why we've introduced some new ideas like a water -quality control program, which is not required, but pollution control wants that because these floating -- I'm talking about floating solar now, not ground. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: My question is -- because I don't want to duplicate what the federal government's already going to do. MR. HENDERLONG: No. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: And I'm just thinking of my past experience, whether there are federal requirements. It could be deemed a Clean Water Act issue and an Endangered Species Act issue in regards to setting up these solar panels that -- but I'm not sure. I've never encountered it in my experience on the federal side, so I don't know. MR. HENDERLONG: And to the extent that the County Water Pollution Control -- and that's part of the slide here we'll talk about -- is that the water coverage surface area, we're limiting them to a certain percentage and putting a max on it based upon what other Florida communities are doing and also environmental in order to protect the aquatic life, marine life, littoral shelves. We want that all maintained, but the primary concern is where the runoff, after that facility's been operating during three, five years, how does the water quality get affected? That's why we're asking -- requiring a baseline water -quality survey be established before they go out and start implementing putting the solar -- floating solar on water. Page 9 of 17 Page 62 of 1180 December 4, 2025 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Yeah. Michelle. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: I was just trying to think of some examples of land solar panels in our community, and there's -- at the zoo in the parking lot, they have their solar panels there, and that looks really nice. Like, are there other examples of where we're using land solar panels already? MR. HENDERLONG: Some of them are on top of buildings, multifamily. I'll let Jaime mention that. MR. JOHNSON: But remember that we're talking about floating solars now. We can discuss -- COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Well, we have time, right? COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: We've got all the time in the world today. COMMISSIONER SHEA: We already missed the record. COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Yeah, that record's shattered. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I wanted to make sure his record stayed. COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: I appreciate that, Joe. MS. COOK: Jaime Cook, your director of Development Review. I don't know, mine's 13 minutes from now, so we're good. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay, good. MS. COOK: As far as land -based solar, we have two large -- two large sites out in Immokalee that are former ag fields. One is at the corner of 29 and 82, and the other is on 82. They're both old orange groves that have been converted into solar fields by FPL specifically. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Yeah, those are FPL sites. MS. COOK: Yes. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Are they attractive? Because that was brought up that -- COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: You don't really see them. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: I don't want to get into telling people what they can and can't do with their land as far as being attractive or not, but buffering sounds like a great idea. MS. COOK: Sir, that's exactly what I was going to say. They are still required to follow buffer requirements. So the one on 82 is still under construction, but the one that's at 29 and 82, they do have buffering. So unless you're looking for it, you're probably not going to notice that it's there. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Okay. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I mean -- and the more I'm thinking about it, I know -- I'm pretty sure these have to go through federal requirements for the Endangered Species Act. MR. HENDERLONG: They do. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: And these floating solar panels are going to certainly impact the temperature of the water in some manner or form that would have to be addressed as well. MR. HENDERLONG: It is. And the interesting part about the floating solar is they tend to cool. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Really? MR. HENDERLONG: They have 15 to 20 percent more efficiency than ground mounting because of the cooling of the water, the effect on it. The data shows that. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Again, I have no concerns with the LDC amendment. I mean, it's just -- MR. HENDERLONG: Okay. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I think -- I think the requirements, as Paul stated, we probably have to address some issues in regards to the land base. And another requirement we talked about briefly, which we're probably going to see sometime here, are the small nuclear power plants. What do you call it, package plants that can be set up to power -- MR. HENDERLONG: Renewable energy. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: -- data centers and those kind of things that are happening now. So those are just some future things that you might want to look at. I mean, they are extensive in the review process from the federal side, but from the local side, we're going to have to address compatibility, location, all the other kind of things associated with it. We're going to see it. We're going to see it. Other Page 10 of 17 Page 63 of 1180 December 4, 2025 communities in the country are dealing with these large data centers and small now what I call package nuclear plants. Go ahead, Mike. MR. BOSI: I was just going to say from a commentary standpoint, I think Florida will be one of the last states to have, really, locations for data centers just because of the temperature wise. The cooling aspect of the data centers is one of the most critical aspects in terms of the energy consumption. And what we're -- what the trend has been, some of the -- the South Dakotas, the North Dakotas, the cooler climates are where those -- where they're being located at. But at some point in time, we're going to have to deal with it, you're right, in one form or fashion or another. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Commissioner Shea. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Just a question on the water -quality part of it. I mean, putting it over a freshwater pond is one thing. Putting it over a wastewater treatment pond is another thing. Is that the designer's responsibility to deal with any corrosive environments that might be in the water body below it? MR. HENDERLONG: The code exempts the water -quality control and study for wastewater treatment ponds because of the nature of what they are themselves. They're exempted in this, and that's part of the elements. If I can cover the elements here, and then if you'd ask the questions then, I could get through this, all right? CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Go ahead, please. MR. HENDERLONG: All right. Thank you. So the first element being introduced today, or aspect provision, is the new -- definition for solar facility. This is required by the statute, as cited on your board, 163.305. And that include -- that's included because Florida Power & Light's private initiative, solar facility, and electric LDC amendment has been withdrawn indefinitely. The amendment also addresses the -- specifically the placement, the water surface coverage area, and the setback requirements. It is prohibited -- being prohibited over wellfield, Risk Management Special Treatment Overlay. This is a requirement that exists actually in Miami -Dade, and our Pollution and Control department staff have agreed that, let's take a baby step and let's don't put it over -- put at risk, potentially, on a public water -use location so our wellfields are protected. Next, limit the water coverage to no greater than 60 percent of the water body area. That was agreed to and in heavy discussion with the environmental team over at Miami -Dade, which was part of the County's -- they were part of the County -- the County had comments to the state legislature in crafting this statute, so that's why we reached out as a team to get their input on it. Next, clarify that the ecological function of freshwater bodies relative to the presence of -- and modify the littoral zones to be at least 30 percent or more in an area. That's submergent and emergent aquatic vegetation. This is in alignment with the County's mandate to protect environmental habitat as well as aquatic vegetation. And lastly, to provide water -quality control survey. Next -- next slide. So at a minimum, the requirements will be that the water depth be at six feet, a minimum. A littoral shelf area of 30 percent or more and a maximum water surface area to be no greater than 60 percent of the water body. It also requires a site -specific assessment report, ecological, biological, physical impacts when the water surface area exceeds 30 and up to 60 percent of the water body; otherwise, they're allowed by right. Thirdly, a baseline predevelopment water -quality survey and a long-term water -quality monitoring program except when located on wastewater treatment ponds. Provide the -- make sure that the anchoring of the system is solid and it conformed with the manufacturer's and the system's integrity and prohibit the water from becoming energized. Next, there is -- in the first -year inspection report to be delivered on the maintenance, repairs, and servicing of the floating solar facility system and thereafter, to be submitted tri-annually. And, again, the lifespans of these systems run from 15 to 20 years. Page 11 of 17 Page 64 of 1180 December 4, 2025 And lastly, clarify that the building permits shall be attained for the construction of structures and improvements to the extent they are required by the Florida Building Code. So we are seeking a recommendation of your approval with approval -- or approval with conditions for PL20250000235 to modify the text changes and the requirements for the location, placement, and siting of Florida solar facilities. And then lastly, as a separate vote, we ask that Planning Commission make a recommendation to the Board directing staff to prepare and vet an amendment for ground -mounted solar facilities as a permitted use in compliance with 163.302(3), which states, "A solar facility shall be a permitted use in all agricultural land -use categories in a local government comprehensive plan and all agricultural zoning districts within an unincorporated area." So floating solars as proposed, as Eric pointed out earlier, for agricultural districts would be a conditional with the exception all of them -- the only place where it is permitted is in the "P" district currently as we propose unless the Commission sees that there's another district or two that they want to add to that. Now, staff did go ahead and take a look at how many parcels were zoned P and how many parcels were zoned C-4. And I'll briefly give you an outline of the results of that. MR. JOHNSON: Mr. Chair, Eric Johnson. While Rich is looking for that, I misspoke before. I didn't -- I failed to mention that we would allow it conditionally also in the CF zoning district; CF, community facilities. So we have prepared for you the proposed districts where it would be allowed conditionally, where it would be allowed permitted by right, and then also the changes that are highlighted in yellow as respect to water quality and, you know, building permits and the permanent location coverage area and setbacks. I didn't know if you had any -- had any questions specifically about this or if you wanted to -- CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I don't. MR. JOHNSON: -- go into further -- CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I don't, Eric. But, Paul, go ahead. You were next. COMMISSIONER SHEA: No. I -- CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Next -- okay, Michelle. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Oh. So my concern is that these panels are going to obstruct the natural beauty of these waterways, and I just wonder are their conditions that we can recommend to avoid the taking away of the natural beauty? Are there perhaps some design review requirements that we could attach to this? MR. HENDERLONG: They are in the amendment as it relates to landscaping and buffering. That's on Page -- they're to comply with, specifically -- and I'll draw your attention to that on Page -- it's on Page 14, or 116 in your packet, "Landscape buffers shall apply pursuant to 4.02.03, 4.06.02, and 4.06.05." Buffering -- "and they shall be in conformance with the underlying zoning district." So once they look at the site location, they're going to present us with a site plan, and they will put the facilities in there. We will look for those impacts as it relates to landscaping. Staff did talk about putting fences up and landscape, because if wildlife tried to walk in to walk onto the panels and so forth, that would be determined as a result of the -- if there's any habitat that has a particular type of species, say panthers, raccoons, whatever was out there, then we would talk about -- address that as a review comment and put that in as a condition. MR. JOHNSON: And then as you remember, if these are allowed conditionally, staff has the ability to ensure that the extra requirements are put in place to ensure compatibility, because compatibility is a review component of the conditional -use process. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: I just think, you know, driving through the Midwest you see all of those windmills, and it's just -- I mean, you just lose the whole natural beauty of the landscape. MR. BOSI: And I could offer a comment. One of the reasons why we're not going to -- wouldn't even -- we're suggesting that it would not be appropriate conditionally or permitted within the residential zoning district is you're not going to be able to dress these things up. When these are on a lake, it's going Page 12 of 17 Page 65 of 1180 December 4, 2025 to give an industrial feel to that lake. Now, it's got a utilitarian purpose, we understand that, but that's why we will require that there is -- buffering be allocated, because most people would rather have an unobstructed view of that lake. The buffering's going to help soften the lake because of the presence of these floating solars. And that's why, I think, the Board, in their wisdom said, "Let's make this permitted only in public where we control the majority of the land uses and own the majority of the parcels that are zoned public." For all the other ones, they're going to be conditional uses so we can have that compatibility analysis, as Eric was describing as part of it. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: But the public -- the by -right ability, that's the land that we all enjoy. We go to parks. We see the lakes. And now we're going to see all these solar panels. MR. BOSI: That would be if the Board of County Commissioners thought it was in our best interest to put solar panels within our -- within our park system. I'm not sure if they've made that determination. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: From what I'm seeing, this is like conditional use for private lakes. So -- am I -- you know what I'm saying? Am I right on that? MR. BOSI: Yes. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Yeah. So I don't want to get into, like, the government telling people how their place needs to look. I mean, yeah, absolutely, there needs to be proper buffering, but if someone wants to paint their house pink, they could paint their house pink. I'm just saying, this is their lake. We can't -- if they want something in their lake, we can't -- they could permit for it, but they -- we can't really tell them how it can look. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: I'm not so much concerned about private lakes, because the people who live around there have to live with that, but it's the public at -right ability is what concerns me. But, I mean, I'm sure that we as a county don't want to see these solar panels -- COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Oh, 1100 percent agree with you on that. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: -- in our beautiful parks. MR. BOSI: And remember, the Board of County Commissioners, we had a much more permissive approach that we took to them, and they directed us back to the Planning Commission because they said we only want these on a very limited basis. So they've indicated that they're not -- there's no intention at every one of our parks that you're going to see the lake system covered with solar panels. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Right. MR. HENDERLONG: And we also looked at the parcels, 51 parcels that are currently zoned "P" today, and out of that, about 24 are improved. The rest are vacant. The majority are governmental institution and, ironically, about 80 percent of them are owned by Collier County. So that message will be carried forward to the Board let them know that if they implement to stay with just the "P" district, that's the limitation they'll be imposing on the applicant. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Is this -- oh, sorry. Does this impact -- I'm thinking about PUDs. A lot of the stormwater retention areas in the PUDs, does this open it up now -- let's say a PUD wanted solar panels to power -- provide additional power for one of their clubhouses or something, does this -- MR. HENDERLONG: Yes, they would. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: -- cover that criteria? MR. HENDERLONG: They'd have to amend the PUD, come back and -- (Simultaneous crosstalk.) CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: They have to amend the PUD. That's my question then. So they would amend the PUD to allow the use. MR. JOHNSON: And that would require a public hearing. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Therefore, that opens the public -hearing process. MR. HENDERLONG: Yes. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Thank you. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: I want to follow up on something you were talking about, Melissa [sic]. What is a public at -right? What is that? Page 13 of 17 Page 66 of 1180 December 4, 2025 MR. BOSI: What she was referring to, the parcels that are zoned "public" as this is proposed, would be able to move forward with the floating solar as a matter of right and not a conditional use. What she was saying is, so -- because it's a matter of right, she's concerned about would we see solar panels in all of our public parks, potentially. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Mike, what I don't understand is give me an example of a "public at right." CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: "At right" means there's no zoning limitation. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: I understand that. But what is a "public at right"? MR. BOSI: The zoning of the parcel is public, and because it's public -- because it's a public zoning district, they are -- floating solars are a use that's permitted by right. So it was just -- it was a shortening of -- it was a shortening -- a public zoning district is now going to be allowed to have a -- public zoning district is allowed to have a floating solar as a permitted use, as a matter of right. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: So it wouldn't have to come in for any type of hearing. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: I totally -- I totally understand the issue. I just can't get my head around an example of a "public at right" situation. COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: I can think of an example. If you have -- let's say you've got a mid -rise condo complex with carports and you want to add solar to those carports to help power some common -area things, you would have to come back because that's not an at -right. You would have to come back and amend your PUD -- COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Right. COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: -- for that allowance. If we take North Naples Regional Park, they have carports there, and there's is solar on top of those carports already. So that's a public at -right where they wouldn't have to come -- because it's public, it's owned by the County, they wouldn't have to come to the Planning Commission and amend their PUD because it's already County property. So it's allowed within that use. MR. HENDERLONG: If it helps you, let's take a look at this table that I have up on the visualizer and explain to you how these communities took it through the process to the extent that these existing facilities have been developed and they're currently operating. This is Exhibit C in your packet, but I've added in some highlighting here. And I'll talk about that in a minute. There are 13 projects, of which nine operate on a not -for -profit basis. That's important to understand. Because this suggests that their electric power purpose is consumption on site. It's not going off into the grid to be sold for profit. Keep that in mind. We also researched their zoning approval and found that two are zoned heavy commercial, two industrial, and all the other nine are in special districts such as a transit utility CDD, an airport support district, a Central Florida expressway, and Orlando Utility Commission District Water Reclamation. We spoke to Bartow's planning director, because that is up there on your fourth item there, the Hines Energy Complex by Duke, and found that they didn't do it through any zoning. They did it by right through the process, and that's how they structure -- they don't have a specific code that allows that. So it's an example of public use. Altamonte Springs is 100 percent offsite electricity for the wastewater treatment plant. That's a public use. You can see that Central Florida, which is a very interesting one because they're doing a 4.5-mile expressway that is going to be energized through the power of the solar energy system, and it's going to put WiFi underneath the roadway, that expressway and basically allow the electric cars that go through the 4.5-mile to get energized, and they're also putting it in for -- that's why it's called a micro grid, and it has an emergency digital sign, and it's also going to support the tollbooths that go in there. So those are on -site -- examples of on -site consumption, and that's typically where we would think we would find these. But Orlando's been the leader, as you can see by the table, for most of the -- going forward with this type of new technology. MR. JOHNSON: Rich, may I interrupt for a second? Commissioner Colucci, I just wanted to address your question from before, because I know that it seemed to me that maybe we didn't answer it well. We have a zoning district called the public -use Page 14 of 17 Page 67 of 1180 December 4, 2025 district. The acronym for it is "P." So sometimes we just use "public" as a way to describe the district, but the actual district name is "public -use district." We're proposing the floating solar facilities as a permitted by -right use in that zoning district and in that zoning district only, which means it won't require a public hearing. It will not require a public hearing, as would solar -- floating solar facilities in the other zoning districts that we've identified. Does that make any sense? COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: I'm going to -- maybe it's just me, Melissa [sic]. I don't know. Let me give you a made-up example. The North Naples Regional Park, let's say there's a pond out there now. COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: There is. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Is it -- COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Let's not just say it. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Is it permitted by right that they can do anything they want with that pond? MR. BOSI: It's a solar facility. If the government decided, if Collier County, if the Board of County Commissioners said we want a solar -- "we want a floating solar facility at North Naples Park," they would have the right if it was zoned "P." Unfortunately, that's zoned ag, and there's a conditional use that -- MR. HENDERLONG: Correct. MR. BOSI: -- that is -- that entitled the park. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Melissa [sic], if you're happy, I'm happy. MR. BOSI: So it doesn't apply to that specifically. COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: It doesn't apply to that specifically. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: If you're happy, I'm happy, Melissa [sic]. COMMISSIONER SHEA: Michelle. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Michelle, I'm sorry. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: No worries. MR. JOHNSON: So the bottom line is -- MR. HENDERLONG: Of those 51 parcels, I only found Veterans Park -- there's a portion of the Veterans Park next to the regional wastewater treatment plant that has "P" zoning on it. That's the only place that I could find. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: Okay. I'm done. COMMISSIONER SHEA: They wore you down. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: All right. Any other comments from commissioners? (No response.) CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Anything else from staff? MR. BOSI: No, other than we're -- as shown on the visualizer, we're just seeking a recommendation of approval. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: All right. Any public comments? MR. SABO: No public comment. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Got it. I didn't ask on the last one because nobody said there were any public comments. With that, do I hear any proposals from commissioners on this LDC? COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Motion to approve. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Do I hear a second? COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Second. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: All in favor, say aye. COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: (No verbal response.) COMMISSIONER SHEA: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Aye. COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Aye. Page 15 of 17 Page 68 of 1180 December 4, 2025 COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Any opposed, like sign. (No response.) CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: It passes unanimously. It goes off to the Board of County Commissioners. Eric? MR. JOHNSON: Mr. Chair, would you like us to move forward with an amendment dealing with ground -based solar panels? CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: It's -- I would say it's the consensus of the Board, yes, as discussed. So -- I don't think we need a motion for that. It would just be the consensus of the Board, and I see all sorts of nods "yes" so that we should move forward with ground -based as well. And with that, any other issues? MR. BOSI: None from staff. MR. HENDERLONG: Thank you. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: And you say there are five items for January? MR. BOSI: January 15th, there's five petitions scheduled. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Is the -- what do you call it lakes up there, Imperial Lakes, is that on there? I'm just curious if that one's on there. I may have to -- may have a conflict on that one. I just don't know. MS. ASHTON-CICKO: It's still under review. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Go ahead, please. MS. ASHTON-CICKO: It's still under review. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Still under review? All right. MR. BOSI: No. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Okay. With that, motion to approve -- or motion to adjourn. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: So moved. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: All right. All in favor? COMMISSIONER COLUCCI: (No verbal response.) COMMISSIONER SHEA: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Aye. COMMISSIONER SCHUMACHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER PETSCHER: Aye. COMMISSIONER McLEOD: Aye. CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: We are adjourned. Thank you. MR. HENDERLONG: Thank you.

LDC amendments are reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners (Board), Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC), Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC), and the Land Development Review Subcommittee of the DSAC (DSAC-LDR Subcommittee). LDC SECTION TO BE AMENDED 1.08.02 Definitions ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS DSAC-LDR DSAC CCPC Approval Approval TBD BACKGROUND On April 9, 2024, the Board was asked to review and approve staffs administrative application process for projects intending to utilize the provisions of Florida Statutes section 125.01055(7)(a) through (e), commonly known as SB 102 or the Live Local Act. The Live Local Act preempts local government from regulating specific development standards for certain projects providing affordable housing. One topic that the Board discussed, is the requirement for the County to consider a reduction of parking requirements for a proposed development located within one-half mile of a "major transit stop." The Live Local Act specifically stated: "A county must consider reducing parking requirements for a proposed development authorized under this subsection if the development is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop, as defined in the county's land development code, and the major transit stop is accessible from the development." During the Board's discussion, concern was raised with this requirement because the County's LDC does not currently define "major transit stop" and therefore, the application of this provision has been left to staffs interpretation. Staffs initial interpretation of a "major transit stop" included all bus stops along Collier Area Transit (CAT) bus routes that include a covered bench structure. However, after discussing the matter at the meeting and disagreeing with staffs interpretation, the Board unanimously voted to define "major transit stop" as a public transit stop that would be represented by three existing CAT transfer stations located at: 1) Government Center Transfer Station (3355 East Tamiami Trail, Naples); 2) Radio Road Transfer Station (CAT Headquarters) (8300 Radio Road, Naples); and 3) Florida Department of Health Immokalee Office (419 N I' Street, Immokalee). These three transfer stations include public transportation services for four or more bus routes and G:\LDC Amendments\Advisory Boards and Public Hearings\CCPC\2026\01-15\Materials\PL20240005299 Major Transporation Hub - LDCA (12-30-2025).docx Page 78 of 1180 Collier County include public parking facilities for passengers to utilize. While staff was drafting the proposed definition for "major transit stop," SB 328 was approved by the Florida Senate and the Florida House of Representatives. SB 328 is an amendment to the Live Local Act and revises several sections of the Act. One revision includes removal of "major" from "major transit stop", and incorporation of a new term "major transportation hub" which is defined in the bill text as: "Any transit station, whether bus, train, or light rail, which is served by public transit with a mix of other transportation options." SB 328 was signed by the Governor on May 16, 2024. Due to the revisions of the Live Local Act through SB 328, staff prepared a definition for "transit stop" and "major transportation hub." DSAC-LDR Subcommittee Recommendation: On May 21, 2024, the DSAC-LDR Subcommittee recommended that staff change the requested definition from "major transit stop" to "transit stop" and "major transportation hub" and recommended the following: 1. Provide a definition for "transit stop" that includes a reference to "publicly funded transportation agency" as opposed to naming CAT specifically.

The proposed amended text and map change is depicted in Ordinance Exhibit A. EXISTING CONDITIONS: Subject Property: The ±5.62-acre subject site is in the Agricultural (A) zoning district as demonstrated on the Collier County Official Zoning Atlas. According to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), the subject property is designated as the Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict of the Urban Mixed -Use District, which is also classified as an Urban Designation. The site, in its current designation, is eligible to develop low -density residential and low -intensity agricultural uses. The Urban Mixed -Use District is intended to accommodate both residential and non-residential land uses, in which certain commercial and industrial uses are allowed subject to criteria. The purpose of the Urban Residential Subdistrict is to provide for developments of higher density with few natural resource constraints, where existing and planned public facilities are concentrated. SurroundingLands: ands: North: Future Land Use Designation: Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict of the Urban Mixed -Use District. Zoned; Agricultural. Land Use: Vacant. East: Future Land Use Designation: Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict of the Urban Mixed -Use District. Zoned: SR 951 Right -of -Way; Silver Lakes Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD). Land Use: ROW; Residential. South: Future Land Use Designation: Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict of the Urban Mixed -Use District. Zoned: Agricultural. Land Use: 110' FPL Easement, FPL Capri Substation. West: Future Land Use Designation: Conservation. Zoned: Agricultural. Land Use: Vacant. Surrounding land uses include vacant land to the north, designated within the Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict of the Urban Mixed -Use District and zoned Agricultural. To the east, properties within the same Urban Coastal Fringe designation include the SR 951 right-of-way and the Silver Lakes Mixed Use Planned Unit Development, which are developed with transportation right-of-way and residential uses. Properties to the south are zoned Agricultural and include a 110-foot FPL Page 88 of 1180 easement and the FPL Capri Substation, beyond which exist a LCEC Electrical Substation and two self -storage facilities: the existing Midgard Self Storage and the approved 951 Vehicle Suites CPUD. Lands to the west are designated Conservation, zoned Agricultural, and are currently vacant. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The subject site is located within the Urban, Urban Mixed -Use District, Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict. The Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict is comprised of the Urban areas located south of US 41, east of the City of Naples, and west of the Rural Fringe Mixed Use Neutral Lands, seaward of the Coastal High Hazard Area Boundary. The Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict provides for transitional densities between the Conservation designated areas located south of the Subdistrict and the remaining Urban designated area located north of the Subdistrict. The subdistrict comprises approximately 11,354 acres and 10% of the Urban Mixed Use District. The properties immediately surrounding the subject site reflect a mix of vacant land, infrastructure, and residential uses. In proximity to the subject site, there are three Planned Unit Developments: Silver Lakes MPUD, a mixed -use development incorporating park/travel trailer recreational vehicle residential development with recreational amenities; Pelican Lake PUD, a recreational vehicle park with associated facilities including a clubhouse and recreational amenities; and 951 Vehicle Suites CPUD, a development of 135,000 square feet of gross floor area of indoor air-conditioned vehicle storage including automobiles, recreational vehicles, swamp buggies, four wheelers, and boats. A variety of commercial uses exist beyond the immediately surrounding areas. The nearest commercial uses in proximity to the subject site include the Naples Outlet Collection, a retail shopping center located approximately 1/3 of a mile north of the property on the east frontage of Collier Boulevard, and the Coral Isle Golf Center, a driving range with an accessory golf retail shop located approximately 1/3 of a mile south of the property on the east frontage of Collier Boulevard. The Future Land Use Element (FLUE) establishes guiding policies for directing land use patterns within Urban designated areas. According to the FLUE, commercial development should be directed to Mixed Use Activity Centers, which are intended to support commercial developments in walkable, accessible environments. This strategic approach is designed to minimize the impact of commercial developments on surrounding residential areas. The FLUE encourages a gradual transition in development intensity as land uses move away from the core of a Mixed Use Activity Center. This policy aims to protect residential areas from being directly adjacent to high -intensity commercial or industrial uses. The development proposed on the subject property is considered infill development and will provide for a transitional use between the existing electrical substation to the south and future uses of the vacant surrounding properties. The petition includes a conceptual site plan and visual renderings depicting the warehouse buildings. The conceptual site plan offers landscape buffering and a ±0.68-acre preserve area to reduce the impacts of the proposed vehicle storage facility on adjacent land uses. The proposed maximum building height is 35 feet, consistent with the development standards of the surrounding Agricultural zoning districts. The location of the property should have minimal to no visual impact on the existing residential uses to the east, as the development is accessed by a drive aisle that is approximately 600 feet of distance from its access point at Collier Boulevard. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system, mini -warehousing falls under SIC 4225: General Warehousing and Storage. The Collier County Land Development Code (LDC) allows this SIC code by right in the Business Park (BP), Industrial (I), and Heavy Commercial (C-5) base zoning districts. The LDC implements this use to be located in intensively developed or industrialized areas. The proposed South Naples Toy Storage Commercial Subdistrict and companion Planned Unit Development Page 89 of 1180 Rezone will effectively blend its proposed use of vehicle storage in a manner that is compatible with the surrounding land use context. Traffic Capacity/Traffic Circulation Impacts: A Transportation Impact Statement (TIS) prepared by Davidson Engineering, Inc. on February 1, 2024 was submitted as part of this petition. Transportation Planning staff reviewed the TIS and the petition for consistency with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan using the current 2024 AUIR. Staff finds the TIS to be sufficient and have no objections to the Transmittal of this GMPA petition. Environmental Planning Impacts: The subject property is 5.62 acres. The Environmental Services Staff verified the acreage of native vegetation on site during the review of the PUD PL20230012017 for the project. The subject property is currently zoned Agriculture. The property contains 3.68 acres of native vegetation, which will require 0.55 acres to be placed in preservation. The proposed GMP amendment has no effect on the requirements of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) regarding the protection of native vegetation; the preservation requirement is 0.55 acres (15% of 3.68 acres). Native vegetation on -site will be retained as required by the standards established by CCME Policy 6.1.2 and section 3.05.07 of the LDC. Environmental Services staff recommends approval of the proposed petition. Public Utilities Impacts: The project lies within the regional potable water service area and the south wastewater service area of the Collier County Water -Sewer District (CCWSD). Water and wastewater services are available via existing infrastructure within the adjacent right-of-way. Sufficient water and wastewater treatment capacities are available. Any improvements to the CCWSD's water or wastewater systems necessary to provide sufficient capacity to serve the project will be the responsibility of the owner/developer and will be conveyed to the CCWSD at no cost to the County at the time of utilities acceptance.

The table below summarizes the existing future land use designations, zoning, and uses in the vicinity and surrounding the subject property: NORTH Urban Coastal Fringe Agricultural Vacant SOUTH Urban Coastal Fringe Agricultural / C-5 FPL substation / self -storage EAST Urban Coastal Fringe Agricultural FPL substation WEST Conservation District Conservation Rookery Bay Preserve The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the GMP to create a new subdistrict (South Naples Toy Storage Commercial Subdistrict) within the Urban — Commercial District. This new subdistrict will permit the development of up to 60,000 square feet of indoor recreational vehicle storage (mini- and self -storage warehousing) intended for luxury vehicles. The proposed sub -district and companion CPUD for luxury vehicle storage represents an ideal, complementary, and compatible development, in a logical location that will allow a viable economic use of the subject property. The following supplemental narrative, combined with the attached market analysis (Exhibit 03), provides justification for the proposed project and consistency with the Growth Management Plan (GMP).

Proposed Use The intent of the proposed use is to provide indoor, climate -controlled, hurricane -rated storage for luxury vehicles including cars, boats, and RVs. This type of storage use is low impact in terms of traffic and its ability to coexist with surrounding uses and will not have a negative effect on neighboring properties in relation to noise, glare, economic impact, or odor. The proposed facility represents a low intensity, passive commercial use that generates minimal traffic, as supported by the Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) included with this application. Existing Conditions As demonstrated previously, the subject property is bounded to the north by a vacant Agricultural zoned parcel and to the south by two electric substations and a C-5 zoned property with an existing self -storage facility. To the west lies the Rookery Bay Preserve, which is zoned Conservation. The proposed development is less intensive than the existing C-5 uses, as it limits permitted uses to indoor storage and accessory services and does not propose outdoor storage of vehicles. Additionally, the proposed use is less intense from an environmental perspective than many agricultural uses which would be permitted by right under the Agricultural zoning district. An on -site preserve will provide a significant buffer to the adjacent conservation area. Across Collier Boulevard to the east, are several residential developments zoned PUD, some of which may benefit directly from the services provided by this facility, as the nearby residential development is currently marketed as an RV resort. Location and Compatibility The subject property represents an infill area effectively cut off from the surrounding uses as a result of the intense FPL facilities to the south and east, a major arterial to the east, and Rookery Bay to the west. According to available records, FPL has owned the abutting substation property since 1965. As noted in LDC Section 2.01.03, electrical substations are considered essential services and are permitted uses in all zoning districts. Substations, electrical transmission and distribution lines, and other utilities such as water and sewer lines are needed public infrastructure that should indeed be considered "essential' and allowed in all zoning district. However, not all Essential Services are created alike. While many are low impact and sometimes underground, electrical substations create numerous impacts — visual, sound, and social. Locating a low impact commercial use such as the proposed luxury vehicle storage helps to create a transition from the more industrial substations to the surrounding Agricultural zoned properties. The proposed development will be carefully designed to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses. Through the use of setbacks, buffering, and site design, the proposed subdistrict will internalize all activity, will create appropriate separation from residential properties across Collier Boulevard, and will ensure that there are no impacts to surrounding properties.

The amount of land required to accommodate anticipated growth. The South Naples Toy Storage project is intended to meet the increasing demand for indoor recreational vehicle storage (see Market Study) by both current and future residents of the area. b. The projected permanent and seasonal population of the area. The Market Study submitted with this application provides population projections for both permanent and seasonal residents within the market area. c. The character of undeveloped land. The character of the undeveloped subject property is documented in the Environmental Data and Survey. The land cover is classified as Acacia auriculiformis (8%), Melaleuca quinquenervia (35%), Schinus terebinthifolia(30%), across the whole property. Exotics are scattered throughout the site. The property as a whole has an exotic density of E3 (50-75%). The least amount of exotics are in the rear of the site, adjacent to the wetlands off site. Additionally, there are urban services available to the site, which represents an infill opportunity in an urban designated area of the FLUM. d. The availability of water supplies, public facilities, and services. The project will be served by Collier County Public Utilities for both water and sewer. Adequate public facilities and infrastructure are currently in place to support the proposed use. The subject property is located within Collier County's potable water, sanitary sewer, and solid waste service areas. Level of Service (LOS) standards for these utilities are based on residential population. As a non-residential project, the proposed development will not impact LOS thresholds within the 5-year planning horizon. Public safety services are readily available in the area. Greater Naples Fire Rescue Station #23 is located less than one mile from the site, and the Collier County Sheriff's Office — District 5 is located within two miles. Refer to the enclosed Public Services Facility Map for additional details. e. The need for redevelopment, including the renewal of blighted areas and the elimination of nonconforming uses which are inconsistent with the character of the community. There are no blighted conditions or nonconforming uses present on the subject property or in the surrounding area. f. The compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to or closely proximate to military installations. There are no military installations located near the subject property.

The compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to an airport as defined in s. 330.35 and consistent with s. 333.02. The subject property is not adjacent to any airports and is not affected by airport -related land use restrictions. h. The discouragement of urban sprawl. The subject property within the Urban Mixed Use District, Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict of the FLUE. It is bound to the north by a vacant parcel zoned Agricultural, and to the south by two electric substations and a C-5 zoned property with existing self -storage facility featuring indoor and outdoor storage. The property is also bordered by the Rookery Bay Preserve to the west and several PUD- zoned residential developments across Collier Boulevard to the east. These existing and planned developments support infill development, which does not contribute to urban sprawl. Section 163.3187(1). Florida Statutes 1. A small scale development amendment maybe adopted under the following conditions: a. The proposed amendment involves a use of 50 acres or fewer and; The proposed amendment is limited to two parcels that total ±5.62 acres. b. The proposed amendment does not involve a text change to the goals, policies, and objectives of the local government's comprehensive plan, but only proposes a land use change to the future land use map for a site -specific small scale development activity. However, text changes that relate directly to, and are adopted simultaneously with, the small scale future land use map amendment shall be permissible under this section. The amendment proposes a new subdistrict to the Urban — Commercial District of the FLUE to allow development of the subject property with a low -intensity commercial use. c. The property that is the subject of the proposed amendment is not located within an area of critical state concern, unless the project subject to the proposed amendment involves the construction of affordable housing units meeting the criteria S.420.0004(3) and is located within an area of critical state concern designated by S. 380.0552 or by the Administration Commission pursuant to S. 380.05(1). The subject property is not located within an area of critical concern. Consistency with the Growth Management Plan Future Land Use Element Policy 5.5: Discourage unacceptable levels of urban sprawl in order to minimize the cost of community facilities by: confining urban intensity development to areas designated as Urban .... The subject property within the Urban Mixed Use District, Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict of the FLUE. It is bound to the north by a vacant parcel zoned Agricultural, and to the south by two electric substations and a C-5 zoned property with existing self -storage facility featuring indoor and outdoor storage. The property is also bordered by the Rookery Bay Preserve to the west and several PUD-zoned residential developments South Naples Toy Storage Subdistrict Page 4 of 6 Submittal #6 10/09/2025 5618 Whispering WillowWay, FortMyers, FL 33908 1 239-398-2016 www.theneighborhood.company Page 124 of 1180 across Collier Boulevard to the east. These existing and planned developments support infill development, which does not contribute to urban sprawl. Policy 5.6: New developments shall be compatible with, and complementary to, the surrounding land uses, as set forth in the Land Development Code (Ordinance 04-41, adopted June 22, 2004 and effective October 18, 2004, as amended). The proposed South Naples Toy Storage Subdistrict is appropriately situated along a major arterial roadway (Collier Boulevard), making it easily accessible to the target market. The project addresses a demonstrated need for indoor vehicle storage, as shown in the accompanying Market Demand Analysis (Exhibit 03) submitted with this application. The proposed development is less intensive than the adjacent C-5 uses, as it limits permitted uses to indoor storage and accessory services. An on -site preserve area provides a significant buffer to the adjacent conservation area. Unlike potential agricultural uses permitted by right, the proposed use will be less environmentally impactful to the surrounding properties. Across Collier Boulevard to the east are several residential developments zoned PUD, some of which may benefit directly from the services provided by this facility, as the nearby residential development is currently marketed as an RV resort. Policy 7.1: The County shall encourage developers and property owners to connect their properties to fronting collector and arterial roads, except where no such connection can be made without violating intersection spacing requirements of the Land Development Code. South Naples Toy Storage project proposes access from Collier Boulevard, a designated arterial roadway. This access is consistent with County policy and ensures efficient connectivity to the regional transportation network without violating spacing requirements. As mentioned previously, the TIS has concluded that the proposed storage use will not negatively impact the levels of service on Collier Boulevard. Policy 7.2: The County shall encourage internal accesses or loop roads in an effort to help reduce vehicle congestion on nearby collector and arterial roads and minimize the need for traffic signals. Naples Toy Storage project proposes a single access point from Collier Boulevard, with internal circulation designed to support efficient vehicle movement within the site. Policy 7.3: All new and existing developments shall be encouraged to connect their local streets and/or interconnection points with adjoining neighborhoods or other developments regardless of land use type. The most direct and practical access to the South Naples Toy Storage site is from Collier Boulevard via a paved driveway. Interconnection with the adjacent electric substations to the east and south is not feasible or desired due to safety and security concerns for both the public and the utility provider. Policy 7.4: The County shall encourage new developments to provide walkable communities with a blend of densities, common open spaces, civic facilities and a range of housing prices and types. The South Naples Toy Storage project is a non-residential use and does not include a residential component; therefore, this policy does not apply.

To best manage and address the Gopher Tortoise listed species occupying the subject property, an FWC Authorized Agent will submit a Conservation Relocation Permit application to FWC for the relocation of the potentially occupied gopher tortoise burrows located within the subject property, either to a more ideal on -site location or to a recipient site (located off -site). Mitigation fees will be paid to FWC for the Gopher tortoise relocation permit and relocation efforts. Both the subject property and the area directly adjacent to the property will be re -surveyed prior to the relocation efforts and following the relocation efforts to ensure that all listed species have been accounted for within the proposed impacted area. At the request of the county, a siltation fence can be installed at a depth of 8" inches to prevent any additional Gopher tortoises from occupying the subject property after the relocation efforts have been made. If any listed species are observed following the relocation efforts, all impaction activities will cease. Tropical Environmental Consultants will be contacted as well as the FWC Regional biologist to address the situation moving forward. TEC will leave the permit open until all clearing activities have been completed for the proposed construction within the subject property. Florida Bonneted Bat (Eumops floridanus) Zero (0) rooting locations for the Bonneted Bat were identified on site. Following the Florida Bonneted Bat Consultation Guideline (October 2019), the property is larger than 5 acres and is located within the Consultation area for the Florida Bonneted Bat, a Roost Survey and Full Acoustic survey must be completed if roosting habitat will be lost or modified within 250 ft of the potential roost sites. Red -cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis) Federally listed as "endangered" by USFWS The Red -cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) is a woodpecker endemic to the southeastern United States. These woodpeckers are about the size of the common cardinal, with a its black cap and nape that encircle large white cheek patches being the most distinguishing feature. Historically, RCWs inhabited long leaf pine ecosystems throughout North America. Habitat loss is the main threat to this species, and it has been listed as endangered since October of 1970. Although the subject site falls within the USFWS Red -cockaded Woodpecker consultation area, no Red - cockaded Woodpeckers were observed and no suitable habitat for this species exists within the project boundaries. No further action should be required pertaining to Red -cockaded Woodpeckers. Page 130 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon couperi) Federally Listed as "Threatened" by USFWS The Eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon couperi) is listed as Threatened by USFWS, based on dramatic population declines caused by over -collecting for the domestic and international pet trade as well as mortalities caused by rattlesnake collectors who gassed gopher tortoise burrows to collect snakes. Since its listing, habitat loss and fragmentation by residential and commercial expansion have become much more significant threats to the eastern indigo snake. This species is widely distributed throughout central and south Florida; in northern Florida and southern Georgia, it primarily occurs in sandhill habitats. For the majority of smaller projects, simple execution of an FWC gopher tortoise relocation permit would effectively clear all potential refugia for the Eastern Indigo Snake within the development footprint. None identified on site. Wood Stork (Mycteria americana) Federally Listed as "Threatened" by USFWS The subject site is shown to be located within a Wood Stork Nesting Colony Core Foraging Area. Wood Storks typically nest colonially in medium to tall trees that occur in stands located either in swamps or on islands surrounded by relatively broad expanses of open water. Because of their specialized feeding behavior, Wood Storks forage most effectively in shallow -water areas with highly concentrated prey. Good foraging conditions are characterized by water that is relatively calm, open, and having water depths between 5 and 15 inches (5 and 38 cm). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has identified core foraging area (CFA) around all known Wood Stork nesting colonies that is important for reproductive success. In Florida, CFAs include suitable foraging habitat (SFH) within a 15-mile radius of the nest colony. The Service believes loss of suitable foraging wetlands within these CFAs may reduce foraging opportunities for the Wood Stork. Based on our review of available databases, there is no record of a Wood Stork rookery on the project site or within near proximity. However, documented Wood Stork Nesting Colonies exist within 10 miles of the subject site and within predetermined forage buffer limits. The USFWS and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers require that any impacts to on -site ditches and/or wetlands, which would eliminate a portion of the Wood Stork foraging habitat, be either mitigated through the purchase of mitigation credits or recreated elsewhere on -site so that there would be no net loss of Wood Stork foraging habitat. No Wood Storks were observed within the subject site and potential mitigation for Wood Stork habitat will be addressed during the permitting process if required. not listed but likely. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 131 of 1180 Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea) - *no species or evidence identified on site. The little blue heron is a small wading bird species that can reach a length of up to 29 inches (74 centimeters), with a wingspan of 41 inches (104 centimeters) and a weight of 14 ounces (397 grams). Little blue herons have a grayish -blue body and a dark red head during breeding, and a purplish head and neck during non -breeding periods (Rodgers et al. 1995). Behavior The diet of the little blue heron primarily consists of fish, insects, shrimp, and amphibians. Little blue herons feed alone, usually along freshwater systems and on floating vegetation. The little blue heron nests in colonies, often with other species of long-legged waders. Nests of sticks are placed in trees and shrubs on islands, thickets near water, or emergent vegetation over water. Little blue herons will lay three to five blue-green eggs that hatch in 20 to 24 days. The young are able to leave the nest and fly (fledge) at 28 days of age. Tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor) - *no species or evidence identified on site. The tricolored heron is a midsized member of the genus Egretta. This species can reach a length between 24-26 inches (61-66 centimeters) with a wingspan of approximately 36 inches (91 centimeters). The tricolored heron is named for its distinct coloration. It has a dark slate - blue colored head and upper body, a purple chest, and white underparts. This species also has a long, slender neck and bill, and is the only dark heron with light underparts. The diet of the tricolored heron primarily consists of fish. Tricolored herons breed in colonies between the months of February and August. Females construct nests out of sticks and vegetation collected by the males. Nests are found in trees or shrubs on salt marsh islands or standing water. Females lay between three to five eggs and both parents share incubation duties. Eggs hatch approximately 21-25 days after being laid (LaLonde 2003). The young remain in the nest until they are approximately 35 days old. Florida Black Bear (Ursus americanus) - *no species or evidence identified on site. Black bears are the only species of bear found in Florida. FWC biologists estimate that there are approximately 4,050 black bears in Florida. Adult male black bears usually weigh between 250 to 350 lbs. The largest adult male black bear in Florida weighed 760 lbs. Adult female black bears are smaller than males, usually weighing between 130 and 180 lbs. The largest adult female black bear in Florida weighed 460 lbs. Adult male black bears usually live within a 60 square mile area, whereas females usually live within a 15 square mile area. Female bears have their first litter at about 3 1/2 years old and generally have a litter every other year. In Florida, the breeding season runs from June to August and cubs are born around late January or early February. Bears are excellent climbers and often climb trees when they are frightened. About 80 percent of a black bear's diet comes from plants (e.g., fruits, nuts, berries), 15 percent from insects (e.g., termites, ants, yellow jackets) and 5 percent from meat (e.g., opossums, armadillos, carrion. Page 132 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Florida Panther (Puma concolor coryi) U.S. Status: Endangered FL Status: Endangered Description: A large (70 - 150 lbs. = 32 - 68 kg) cat with a long tail. Fur is dark buff to tawny above and light buff to white below; muzzle and tip of tail are black. The head is broad, and ears are round. Typical track shows four clawless toe pads around a three -lobed heel pad. Defining characteristics of the subspecies are a dorsal hair whorl, a crook in the tail, and white flecking on the neck and shoulders. Habitat: Requires extensive blocks of mostly forested communities. Large wetlands that are generally inaccessible to humans are important for diurnal refuge. Will tolerate improved areas in a mosaic of natural communities. Seasonal Occurrence: Year-round resident. Florida Distribution: Collier, Glades, and Lee counties are the stronghold for the Florida panther; Miami -Dade and Monroe counties are also important. Dispersing individuals may range well north in the peninsula searching for new territories. No occurrences noted. Big Cypress Fox Squirrel (Sciurus niger avicennia) Description: A large (22 - 26 in. = 550 - 660 mm) tree squirrel with variable dorsal fur color. The most common color phase has a black head and dorsal fur with buff sides and belly, white nose and ears, and buff and black tail (see photograph). Other forms may be nearly all black with white muzzle and ears. Few individuals are black and silver. Tail is long, nearly the length of the head and torso. Habitat: A variety of forested habitats with open to moderately dense understory and shrub cover. A mosaic of pine flatwoods, cypress swamps, and hardwood hammocks is ideal to provide year-round food and cover. Seasonal Occurrence: Active year-round. Florida Distribution: South of the Caloosahatchee River. No occurrences noted. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 133 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Florida Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) Zero 0 burrows for the Burrowing Owl were identified on site. Take of burrowing owls can be either incidental or intentional. Incidental take refers to take that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity. This type of take is prohibited without an incidental take permit or other authorization. Impacts to burrows in the act of building a house is an example of incidental take. Intentional take is not incidental to an otherwise lawful activity and is prohibited without a scientific collecting permit or unless the take is authorized under certain circumstances involving risks to property or human safety. Capturing and handling burrowing owls for research is an example of intentional take. Take of burrowing owls includes any of the following: 1. Causing injury or death of burrowing owl adults, eggs, or young. 2. Collapsing a Potentially Occupied burrow or blocking the entrance of a Potentially Occupied burrow in a manner that prevents an owl from entering or exiting the burrow. 3. Disturbances within 10 feet of a Potentially Occupied burrow entrance at any time of year are expected to cause take, unless outlined below in Examples of activities not expected to cause take. Given this species' year-round use of burrows, impacts to burrows result in significant disruption of breeding and sheltering activities. Examples of this form of take include, but are not limited to, inserting objects or liquids into a burrow, impeding a burrowing owl's ability to take shelter in a burrow, or blocking visibility around the Potentially Occupied burrow by erecting structures or planting vegetation greater than 8 inches in height within 10 feet of the burrow. 4. Disturbances within 33 feet of a Potentially Occupied burrow entrance during the breeding season (February 15-July 10) are expected to cause take (Millsap and Bear 2000), unless they are included below in Examples of activities not expected to cause take. 5. Intentionally and repeatedly forcing burrowing owls to fly or to exhibit signs of stress (e.g., giving alarm calls, producing snapping sounds with their bill, bobbing up and down, crouching and weaving back and forth, remaining vigilant toward the intruder) is considered take via harassment. This clause applies to instances when this is the purpose of the activity rather than incidental to an otherwise lawful activity. 6. Capturing, handling, and collecting burrowing owls or eggs constitute take, as do banding, collecting, attaching auxiliary markers to, and drawing blood or other biological samples from burrowing owls. 7. Use of a burrow scope within a Potentially Occupied burrow is expected to cause take. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 134 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan 8. Significant habitat modification -- An activity that results in the loss of greater than 50% of the total foraging habitat within a 1,970-foot radius circle around a Potentially Occupied burrow may result in significant habitat modification by impairing the essential behavior of foraging (unless authorized under Florida Forestry Wildlife BMP's and Florida Agricultural Wildlife BMP's or Other authorizations for take). FWC staff will evaluate activities that meet this criterion on a case by case basis to determine if significant habitat modification is likely to occur. When conducting this evaluation, FWC staff will consider Potentially Occupied burrows that are either on site or within 33 feet of the project boundary. Activities that may cause significant habitat modification include, but are not limited to, clearing, grading, paving, bulldozing, digging, building construction, and site preparation for development. FWC Recommended Conservation Practices Recommendations are general measures that could benefit the species but are not required. No FWC permit is required to conduct these activities. • Avoid the use of pesticides, rodenticides, insecticides, fungicides and/or herbicides immediately around the burrow entrance. Reduce or avoid the use of pesticides, rodenticides, insecticides, fungicides and/or herbicides in burrowing owl foraging habitat to the extent practicable, especially during the nesting season. Use these products according to label instructions. Pesticides can contaminate or possibly limit the amount of food available for owls. Raptors can become sick and even die from eating prey that have consumed certain rodenticides (Murray 2017). Short -tailed Hawk (Buteo brachyurus) The large stick nest is built in a tree, at a height ranging from 2.5 to 30 in (8.2 to 98.4 ft). In Florida, the bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) is a popular nesting tree of the short -tailed hawk. The nest is bulky, measuring 60-70 cm (24-28 in) wide and 30 cm (12 in) deep. Its 1- 3 eggs per clutch are white, usually with dark spots and blotches. The nesting season is January through June in Florida and is possibly similar in the tropics. Incubation occurs over 34 days with no known details of their fledgling period.[4] In Florida, American crows have been known to consume eggs of this species. Short -tailed hawks breed in the tropical and subtropical Americas from southeastern Brazil and northern Argentina north through Central America to the mountains of the Mexico -Arizona border area, as well as in southern Florida, United States; it is also found on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Utilizing both FWC and Audubon's Nest Finder data, TEC conducted a review for any recorded Bald Eagle nests (through the 2021-2022 nesting season) on or within the vicinity of the project site. This review revealed that there are zero 0 recorded Bald Eagle nests within 660 feet of the subject boundaries. The nearest recorded nests; CO004, is approximately 1.48 miles to the south & CO062 & 62a is 1.1 miles to the north. Please keep in mind that nest locations have not been updated or status reconfirmed following Hurricane Ian in late 2022. Being well outside the required 660-foot buffer, no further action should be required with respect to Bald Eagle nests. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 135 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method U1 UNT W'etland Location & Landscape 'Water Community stiucrare 631E1 - Preserve 9 9 8 631E3 6 3 619E3 5 - 4 640E3 4 6 4 619E1 4 4 5 The UMAM score at the proposed preserve location is the highest scoring location on site which is why it was chosen for the preserve, also the fact that the location chosen for the preserve is adjacent to wetlands which are connected downstream and are part of a larger wetland system. The lower quality wetlands on site will be impacted during construction (mitigation & preservation will offset impacts). The wetlands to be impacted are of lower quality and are inundated with exotic vegetation. Also, the water environment in the lower quality wetlands is not as significant. Impacting lower quality wetlands (in the middle of the site) for the construction of a storage unit facility rather than impacting the high -quality wetlands in the back of the property, which possesses a higher UMAM score and will serve as a vital preserve for protected species and vegetation. The preserves higher UMAM score and its location adjacent to a large, connected wetland system make it crucial corridor for safeguarding protected species, while minimizing impacts to the high -quality wetland. *If any protected vegetation or species are found they will be relocated to preserve* *The preserve will be 15% of the property* - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 136 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Exotic Evaluation Exotic species present include Acacia auriculiformis (8%), Melaleuca quinquenervia (35%), Schinus terebinthifolia(30%), across the whole property. Exotics are present but they do not reflect the majority of the property. Exotics are scattered throughout the site. There is native vegetation throughout the site as well. The property as a whole exotic density E3 (50-75%). The least amount of exotics are in the rear of the site, adjacent to the wetlands off site. Conservation Coastal Management Element (CCME) OBJECTIVE 6.1: Protect native vegetative communities through the application of minimum preservation requirements. Project Consistency with CCME Objective 6.1: In accordance with site preservation and native vegetation retention requirements established in CCME Policy 6.1.1 and LDC 3.05.07 B.1, the required preserve is to be 15% of the native vegetation prior to clearing, not including easement area *Response to Objective 6 & Policy 6.1- Wetland and surface waters will abide by state and federal guidelines in reference to the development of 5767 Collier Blvd Naples Florida 34113. (3.68 ac. native vegetation prior to clearing x 15% = 0.55 ac. preserve required). OBJECTIVE 7.1: Direct incompatible land uses away from listed animal species and their habitats. *Response to Objective 7.1- There have been no documented observations or records of these species within the property or its immediate vicinity, further indicating the unlikelihood of their presence. In conclusion, based on the habitat characteristics, geographical range, and ecological requirements of the listed species in the FNAI Biomatrix and Section 3.04.03, it is reasonable to conclude that none of these species are anticipated to be present on the subject property at 5767 Collier Blvd Naples Florida 34113, PID 00734160009. This assessment suggests that the proposed project is not expected to adversely affect threatened and endangered species in this area. Final consultation may be reviewed by FWS following our assessment. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 137 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Analysis Assessment After a thorough evaluation of the subject property at 5767 Collier Blvd Naples Florida 34113, PID 00734160009, the listed species as per the FNAI Biomatrix, and 3.04.03 - Requirements for Protected Plants, specifically the Rare and Less Rare plants, it is evident that none of the listed species are present or anticipated to be present on the property. The following factors contribute to this conclusion; Habitat Suitability: The property's habitat does not align with the requirements of the listed species indicated on the FNAI Biomatrix. For instance, species need open to forage and nest and not areas which are dense with exotic vegetation species. Ecological Significance: The property is within the known range or habitat of the Florida Panther or Eastern Indigo Snake, and the presence of these species is possible given the ecological characteristics of the property. Which is what the preserve on site will enhance. Absence of Suitable Features: The subject property lacks key features required by various species. For instance, woodpeckers, such as the Red -cockaded Woodpecker, rely on mature long -leaf pine trees for nesting, and these are not found on the property. Additionally, the absence of necessary conditions like wooded scrub habitats for certain species, such as the florida panther and black bear, further supports the conclusion that these species are not likely to be present. Geographical Range: Species like the Wood Stork, while present in the broader region, are not typically found in this specific location, as it has only minimal required aquatic and wetland habitats for these birds. No Known Observations: There have been no documented observations or records of these species within the property or its immediate vicinity(except black bear), further indicating the unlikelihood of their presence. In conclusion, based on the habitat characteristics, geographical range, and ecological requirements of the listed species in the FNAI Biomatrix and 3.04.03 - Requirements for Protected Plants, specifically the Rare and Less Rare plants, it is reasonable to conclude that none of these species are anticipated to be present on the subject property at 5767Collier Blvd Naples Florida 34113. This assessment suggests that the proposed project is not expected to adversely affect threatened and endangered species in this area. Final consultation may be reviewed by FWS following our assessment. *If any protected vegetation or species are found they will be relocated to preserve* *The preserve will be 15% of the property* *A listed species survey was conducted and a scope of CT1 showed inactivity, no other listed or protected species were identified on site. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 138 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Assessment & Management Plan FLORIDA PANTHER Panther Assessment The following items (A-B) should be addressed prior to any site plans and before any development is commenced on the property.

The Subject Property is zoned Acreage not Zoned Agriculture. The parcel is located within the Urban Residential Subdistrict (URS) future land use designation. The Subject Property is currently vacant. The Applicant is proposing the development of 35 vehicle condominiums of various sizes within the proposed 60,000 square feet of space. The Applicant is submitting a Collier County Comprehensive Plan ("Comprehensive Plan") designation change for the property from its current Urban Residential Subdistrict, Mixed Use District, Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict and Coastal High Hazard Area to a commercial subdistrict that allows for luxury indoor motorcoach, vehicle and indoor boat storage ("Project"). The intent of this GMPA request is to allow for the creation of a subdistrict in the GMPA to permit up to 60,000 square feet of indoor luxury motorcoach (Recreational Vehicles or "RVs"), vehicle and indoor boat storage located at 5767 Collier Boulevard, Parcel ID# 00734160009. A concurrent PUD rezone is submitted, PL20230012017. Real Estate Econometrics, Inc. ("Consultant") has been asked to prepare a luxury vehicle self -storage needs analysis for the Project that will be submitted with the Comprehensive Plan change application being prepared by the Applicant. The luxury vehicle self -storage needs analysis study is comprised of four parts; the site assessment, the demand component, the supply component and the supply/demand comparison analysis. 2.0 SITE ASSESSMENT The Subject Property is located on the west side of South Collier Boulevard (State Road 951) approximately a third of a mile north of Championship Drive and about a mile and three quarters south of U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail East). The Subject Property is in Section 15, Township 51 South, Range 26 East in Collier County, Florida. Page 150 of 1180 A portion of the Subject Property fronts South Collier Boulevard and allows for easy inbound and outbound access to the main boulevard. South Collier Boulevard is a major 4-lane north — south thoroughfare that connects Tamiami Trail East (U.S. 41) to the north with Marco Island to the south. The property is bounded to the north and west by TIITF State of Florida -owned conservation lands and to the south and southeast by two electrical sub stations — Florida Power and Light plus Lee County Electrical Cooperative. The Subject Property is across Collier Boulevard from the Pelican Lake Motor Coach Resort. The Subject Property's proposed use as a luxury vehicle storage facility is a low - impact commercial use that generates an extremely low volume of traffic and will have limited impact on the surrounding properties. Figure 2.1 below shows the geographical location of the Subject Property in relation to its surrounding area.

There are a number of luxury RV resorts and motorcoach communities located throughout the state of Florida. The state supports a significant number of retirees migrating to the state and the annual influx of snowbirds, some of which visit with the luxury RVs during the winter months. Many store their luxury RVs while away during the summer months and are finding it more difficult to find enclosed and protected spaces to house their luxury RVs while away during the summer. Florida is one of the top 3 U.S. states for RV registrations. Motor coach ownership is increasing among high -income households The most popular Florida destinations for luxury RV owners are Naples, Tampa, Orlando, Fort Myers and Destin.(12). As noted earlier in this section, there is a high prevalence of snowbird and retiree populations with significant disposable income and seasonal travel behavior. Luxury RV ownership trends high among retirees and part-time residents. There is tremendous growth in high -value residential communities in the previously identified popular RV destinations with HOA restrictions against large vehicle parking (e.g., Isles of Collier Preserve, Fiddler's Creek) which increases the demand for enclosed Luxury RV storage units. Page 155 of 1180 Naples area RV resorts often operate at high occupancy, leading to spillover storage demand primarily during the off-season when winter residents retreat back up north and are looking for a place to store their RV while away(12). 3.4. Local Demand Calculation There are a number of items to consider in preparation for determining the local demand for Luxury RV vehicle storage. There are storage needs, local market indicators and land use constraints. Those items are as follows: 1. Storage Needs Luxury RV owners seek the following storage needs when considering a safe storage unit for their vehicle: Require covered or enclosed storage. Typical length: 35-45 ft. • High value: secure storage, 24/7 access, electric hookups are often preferred. 2. Local Market Indicators Local market indicators that need to be considered when reviewing the supply are as follows: • Nearby motor coach and RV resorts (e.g., Silver Lakes, Naples Motorcoach Resort, Pelican Lakes Motorcoach Resort) report off- season overflow and waiting lists. • Lack of secured covered storage options for Class A motor coaches, especially south of 1-75 as shown in this report. • Nearby facilities (e.g., Elite RV & Boat Storage, Collier RV Storage) have limited availability and/or long waitlists during off season due to the number of storage units already committed from seasonal residents that leave for the summer months. Page 156 of 1180 3. Land Use Constraints There are land use constraints to identify when considering the availability of luxury RV storage units. • Residential zoning and HOA covenants prohibit RV parking in driveways or lots in many newer communities. • Vacant or underutilized commercial parcels like 5825 Collier Blvd are ideal for buffered, gated storage solutions. The Subject Property also shares the same type of use as the neighboring Midgard Self Storage and the recently approved 4.0 Demand Calculation Assumptions need to be made in order to determine the total demand for luxury RV vehicle storage. The assumptions in Table 4.2 below include: Table 4.1 Subject Property 10-Mile Market Area Assumptions Percentage/Value Households with RV ownership (nationalave rage):' 8.50% RV ownership rate among households in HOA restricted communities:2 15% Percentage of RV owners requiring off -site storage :3 30% Number of HOA-restricted communities within 10 miles:4 7 Sources ' RV Industry Association (RVIA) Fact Sheet, 2023 2 Adjusted for Collier County (U.S. Census - Household Income related to national) 3 Estimate based on income distribution that can afford a luxury RV 4 Collier County GIS & local real estate analysis There are three steps the to calculate the demand for luxury RV vehicles. Step 1. Determine the number of households in the 10-mile market area in high value private residential communities that have homeowner association ("HOK) restrictions on vehicle storage from 2025 Community Survey Census data. Page 157 of 1180 There are seven (7) high value private residential communities with HOA restrictions on RV storage within HOA boundaries and within the Subject Property's 10-mile market area. Figure 4.1 High Value Private Residential Communities with HOAs Source: ESRI, Collier County Property Appraiser and the Consultant Table 4.2 on the next page identifies the seven communities and the number of households in each community. Page 158 of 1180 Table 4.2 Private Communities with HOA Restrictions within 10-miles Map Identity Community Milesfrom Subject Site ESRI Households (See Appendix A) 1 Fiddler's Creek 1.31 1,833 2 Lely Resort 2.50 5,767 3 Winding Cypress 2.90 546 4 Verona Walk 3.75 1,428 5 Naples Reserve 4.45 236 6 Treviso Bay 4.82 885 7 Isles of Collier Preserve 5.70 800 11,495 Source: ESRI, Collier County Property Appraiser and the Consultant Step 2. Calculate the number of RV owners in the high value private residential communities based off of a percentage of RV owners nationwide and adjusted for the increased number of RV owners in Southwest Florida compared to the national average. The next calculation step is to determine the number of RV owners in each of the identified private communities in the Subject Property's Market Area. The RV owner percentage comes from the ratio of affluent people in the nation (8%) to the affluent people in the seven high value private residential communities (15%). Table 4.3 below shows the 1,724 estimated RV owners calculation. Table 4.3 Calculation of RV Owners within Private Communities Map ESRI Households RV Owner Estimated RV Identity Community (See Appendix A) Percent Owners 1 Fiddler's Creek 1,833 15.00% 275 2 Lely Resort 5,767 15.00% 865 3 Winding Cypress 546 15.00% 82 4 Verona Walk 1,428 15.00% 214 5 Naples Reserve 236 15.00% 35 6 Treviso Bay 885 15.00% 133 7 Isles of Collier Preserve 800 15.00% 120 11,495 1,724 Source: ESRI, U.S. Census Community Survey, and the Consultant Step 3. The final step calculates the demand for RV storage units from the number of RV owners identified in the high value private residential communities. Page 159 of 1180 The final step in calculating the demand for luxury RV vehicle storage space is to multiply the estimated RV owners determined in Table 4.3 on the previous page by the approximately 30% of the households that could afford luxury RV vehicles. Table 4.4 RV Storage Demand from Private Communities Map ESRI Households Estimated RV Demand Storage Identity Community (See Appendix A) Owners Percent Demand 1 Fiddler's Creek 1,833 275 30.00% 82 2 Lely Resort 5,767 865 30.00% 260 3 Winding Cypress 546 82 30.00% 25 4 Verona Walk 1,428 214 30.00% 64 5 Naples Reserve 236 35 30.00% 11 6 Treviso Bay 885 133 30.00% 40 7 Isles of Collier Preserve 800 120 30.00% 36 11,495 1,724 517 Source: ESRI, U.S. Census Community Survey, and the Consultant The final calculations in Table 4.4 show that there is a demand for approximately 517 luxury RV vehicle storage units in the Subject Property's 10-mile market area. Demand Summary The demand for Luxury RV storage space currently stands at 517 units in the Subject Property's 10-mile market area. The demand is coming primarily from seven (7) identified high value private residential communities. The reasons for the strong latent and seasonal demand for motor coach storage at the Subject Property is due to the following: Restrictions in adjacent residential developments Rising RV and motor coach ownership • Undersupply of premium storage options south of 1-75 • Strategic access and available land make the Subject Property an optimal location There is a total of 478 RV Class A lots located nearby that will supply significant amount of demand for the enclosed RV storage units. The Applicant has a number of these RV lot owners on a waiting list to secure the proposed units. Page 160 of 1180 5.0 SUPPLY Premium covered/enclosed storage for Class A motor coaches is in short supply in the Subject Property's 10-mile market area. The determining factor for luxury RV vehicle storage is for the units to be totally self-contained in order to provide protection from the harsh summer elements. There are a few self -storage complexes that offer covered storage but that only provide protection from the sun but does not provide protection from the heat, humidity or the severe tropical weather that frequents the Southwest Florida environment. In addition, the luxury RV vehicle requires a minimum of 35 to 45 feet of depth, which severely limits the availability of enclosed units for such vehicles. The Consultant has included self -storage complexes with covered but not enclosed units but the primary supply focus is on the enclosed units provided in storage complexes both within 10 miles of the Subject Property and those complexes with 45' minimum depth units outside of the market area that specifically cater to the RV storage market. Figure 4.2 Self -Storage Complexes that cater to the RV Storage Market Source: ESRI, Collier County Property Appraiser and the Consultant Page 161 of 1180 Table 5.1 below shows the 10 self -storage complexes that cater to the RV storage market. The table depicts that there are 170 available existing and planned RV storage units. Adding the Subject Property to the unit count ups the total to 205 existing and planned RV storage units.

Florida, particularly Southwest Florida, presents strong demand and undersupply of secure, covered storage. Table 6.1 Demand/Supply Calculation Units Demand (Table 4.4) 517 Supply Existing Available Units (Table 5.1) 31 Planning (Approved) Units 140 Proposed Project 35 206 Luxury RV Unit Surplus/(Defecit) (311) Source: Consultant Page 162 of 1180 The existing supply does not adequately meet peak -season demand for either boat or luxury RV storage. With over 500+ RVs needing off -site storage, and minimal available capacity (especially for enclosed/covered options), there is a clear and growing market gap. The capacity includes the Subject Properties proposed 35 units. 7.0 C-5 and CPUD Parcels within 3-miles of the Subject Property The Consultant used a combination of Collier County Property Appraiser data and the Collier County Growth Management Division zoning shapefile to identify potential parcels that are zoned for C-5 Use or CPUD Use and could accommodate an exotic car storage facility. All but one (1) of these parcels are already developed. Figure 8.1 on the next page shows the location of those parcels. C-5 zoning allows for the development of self -storage uses. All of the C-5 zoned properties identified in Figure 8.1 and Table 8.1 are built out therefore there is no competition for Luxury Vehicle Storage within three (3) miles. FIGURE 7.1. Potential C-5 and CPUD parcels within 3-Miles of Subject Property Source: Collier County Planning and Zoning, Collier County Master PUD List and ESRI Page 163 of 1180 The Consultant took a closer look at the seven (7) highlighted parcels within a three (3)-mile radius from the Subject Property. The parcels are numbered in Figure 7.1 and the related parcel information is shown in Table 7.1.

Midgard is a residential and commercial storage facility with unit sizes ranging from 5x5 to 12x40, and standard drive -up or climate controlled units. They are not set up for luxury vehicle storage that is proposed for the Subject Property and therefore are not competition. The only parcel that is zoned to accommodate a luxury vehicle storage facility is the Torres Family Trust parcel located just over a mile southeast of Collier Boulevard and is shown in Figure 8.2 below. FIGURE 7.2. Torres Family Trust site.

Page 181 of 1180 DE DAVIDSON CELEBRATING YEARS EXH I BIT 4 PUBLIC FACILITIES LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) ANALYSIS The proposed self storage (automobile and recreational vehicle) and recreational vehicle sales project is comprised of a ±5.61 acre parcel that is located at 5767 Collier Boulevard, Naples, FL 34113. The purpose of this Subdistrict is to remove the property from the Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict and allow for commercial uses including recreational vehicle storage and sales. For this comparative analysis, the site will be conceptually developed to the maximum standards using the proposed zoning. Summary for Existing Use: The existing project site is vacant. Summary for Proposed Change in Use: Allow for the development of an indoor vehicle storage and sales facility comparable to mini/self storage. The Capital Improvement Element of the Growth Management Plan establishes Levels of Service for the following: Arterial and Collector Roads Surface Water Management Systems Potable Water Systems Sanitary Sewer Systems Solid Waste Disposal Facilities Parks and Recreation Facilities Public School Facilities Each of the areas will be examined for the development in this summary report. Arterial and Collector Roads See included Traffic Impact Statement. The level of service is not anticipated to be significantly or adversely impacted by the proposed development. The maximum total daily trip generation for the site shall not exceed 20 two-way PM peak hour net trips based on the use codes and trip generation rates in the ITE Trip Generation Manual in effect at the time of SDP/SDPA application approval. 5767 Collier Boulevard GMPA - PL20230012845 April 23, 2025 www.davidsonengineering.com Page 182 of 1180 DE DAVIDSON E N G I N E E R I N G OLEBRAT NG : r- YEARS Surface Water Management Systems The proposed development will be a self -storage facility that is comprised of two 1-story buildings, a paved access driveway from Collier Boulevard, parking spaces, landscaping, and associated infrastructure. The proposed design of the onsite stormwater management system will meet design and permitting standards from Collier County and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), as applicable. Storm water runoff will be collected through stormwater inlet structures and open drainage swales and discharged to an onsite retention/ dry detention system. The stormwater runoff will be stored until water quality and attenuation requirements are met and then will discharge to on -site wetlands or adjacent water bodies. Ultimately treated stormwater runoff will discharge into Rockery Bay. The development is located within FEMA zone AE with a base flood elevation (BFE) of 6-ft NAVD, according to the current FEMA mapping dated 5/16/2012. The preliminary FEMA maps that are set to be effective on 2/8/2024 were also analyzed and the property is proposed to be located in a FEMA flood zone AE with a BFE of 8-ft NAVD. The finished floor elevation that the future development will need to be set from modeling the 100-year storm elevation as determined through the SFWMD or at least one -foot above the FEMA BFE, whichever is higher. Potable Water The property is located within the Collier County potable water service area. The LOS for potable water is based on residential population; therefore, the proposed project will not cause any LOS issues in the 5- year planning horizon. Sanitary Sewer The property is located within the Collier County sanitary sewer service area. The LOS for sanitary sewer is based on residential population; therefore, the proposed project will not cause any LOS issues in the 5- year planning horizon." Solid Waste Disposal Facilities The property is located within the Collier County solid waste service area. The LOS for solid waste is based on residential population; therefore, the proposed project will not cause any LOS issues in the 5-year planning horizon. Parks and Recreation Facilities The proposed development will not have any residential component, so no impact to parks and recreation facilities are anticipated. 5767 Collier Boulevard GMPA - PL20230012845 April 23, 2025 www.davidsonengineering.com Page 183 of 1180 DE DAVIDSON E N G I N E E R I N G OLEBRAT NG : r- YEARS Public School Facilities There is no residential component to this development, so there is no anticipated impact on the public - school facilities.

The property is on the west side of Collier Boulevard, approximately 1..8 miles south of Tamiami Trail. The property is currently vacant. The Growth Management Plan (GMP) Future Land Use designates the property as Mixed -Use District, Urban Residential Subdistrict, Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict, and Coastal High Hazard Area. The applicant proposes a Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) to create a subdistrict to allow the requested. The applicant should provide a detailed description of the uses proposed on the property, along with the associated SIC Codes. The petitioner must provide data and analysis that includes the need for the use, as well as the appropriateness ❑f the use at the proposed location. A detailed market analysis/needs analysis will be required to demonstrate that the proposed uses are needed and appropriate at this location. Please include a defined market area with data and analysis to support the location and each of the proposed uses. This study should also include an inventory of all approved storage facilities within the defined market area. There are currently several storage facilities currently under review at the County for GMPA and rezoning. Address the availability of public and/or private infrastructure to serve the use, and impacts, if any, on environmental and cultural resources. Growth Management Plan Amendments require the applicant to address and demonstrate consistency with the following policies: ■ Please address Collier County Growth Management Plan Policy 5.6 regarding compatibility and policies 7.1-7.4. regarding smart growth policies specific to interconnection and access issues.

Per the current Fee Schedule (Resolution 2021-193), the non-refundable pre -application meeting fee is $500.00; it is credited towards the petition fee if the petition is submitted within nine months. The petition fee is $16,700.00 for a large-scale petition ($9,000.00 for a small-scale petition), which is non-refundable, plus a proportionate share of the legal advertising costs. For small-scale petitions, there are only two hearings -- one each before the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPCy and Board of County Commissioners (BCC); one legal ad is placed in the Naples Daily News prior to CCPC hearing, and one prior to BCC hearing. For all other amendment petitions, a total of four public hearings are held — Transmittal hearing before CCPC and BCC, and Adoption hearing before CCPC and BCC. The estimated legal advertising costs will be provided to each petitioner and payment will be required prior to advertising for any hearings; any refund due the petitioner after hearings will be provided at that time. In addition to the petition fee and legal ad costs noted above, payment must also be made for a Traffic Impact Study Review Fee. This fee should be submitted directly to the Transportation Planning Section. Please see their website and/or contact them for more details. There is cost to advertise for and conduct a Neighborhood Information Meeting, and to post a public hearing notice(s) (sign(s)). Chapter 10 of the Land Development Code (LDC) and requires the petitioner of a site -specific GMP amendment to hold a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM); this would occur after a finding of sufficiency of the petition submittal but prior to the first public hearing. The LDC also requires the petitioner of a site -specific GMP amendment to post a notice(s) of the public hearings on the property, for both Transmittal and Adoption hearings. A small-scale amendment is limited to a parcel <50 acres and is limited to a map amendment only and any directly -related text; the map amendment cannot result in a conflict between the map and text — there can be no internal inconsistency in the GMP, Note: Notwithstanding the significant changes made in 2011 (HB7207) to Ch. 163, Florida Statutes, Collier continues to consider demonstration of need and reduction in greenhouse gas in evaluating GMP amendments. For the most part, there is no guidancelcriterialstandards provided in the GMP by which to review amendments for consistency; an exception is for significant impacts upon public facilities as provided for in Policy 1.1.2 of the CIE. However, Chapter 163, F.S., does provide guidance, Note particularly the requirement to provide appropriate data and analysis. Generally, staff reviews for, and an applicant should adequately address in the submittal: Appropriateness of uses/compatibility with surrounding area. Impact upon surrounding properties — will it make them less developable under their present FLUM designation? Will it create a domino effect leading to future designation changes on the surrounding properties? Need for the designation change -- data and analysis, e.g. market demand study for commercial uses, to demonstrate the change is warranted, that more inventory of the requested uses is needed. Too often, the data only demonstrates the petition site is viable for the proposed uses ("build it & they will come") rather than demonstrate there is a need for a new or expanded GMP provision to provide for the proposed uses, and that the need is at the subject location, The data should be specific to the proposed land uses, proposed PlK.�8. f a�e 189 of 1 80 dune 2023 trade service area, persons per household in subject area, etc. as applicable. It is recognized there is more than one acceptable methodology, e.g. radial distance from site (ULI standards for neighborhood/community/regional commercial centers), drive time, etc. Regardless of methodology, the raw data needs to be submitted to allow staff to review it for completeness and accuracy (sometimes parcels are omitted, double counted, included when shouldn't be, etc.). Also, as with all submitted documents, maps of trade service area need to be legible and include adequate identification features, e.g. major roads, Section -Township -Range. ■ Whether there is a specific or general community vision that the amendment addresses, e.g, a redevelopment area. • The proposed amendment should correlate to the results of the needs analysis. Too often a need is demonstrated for one set of uses but the amendment is for other uses or goes beyond those uses for which a need is demonstrated (e.g., need is for rental apartments, but amendment allows multifamily uses generally). ■ LOSS (level of service standards) impacts upon public facilities — roads, potable water, sanitary sewer, drainage, solid waste, parks 8. recreation facilities, etc. • Within the above is consideration of site -specific impacts, e.g. impact upon wetlands and listed species habitats on -site and nearby; and, traffic impacts (operational/safety) from the traffic volume generated/attracted and/or the ingress/egress points — turning movements, median openings, traffic signals, etc. Included within this would be a comparison between impacts that would be expected under the existing zoning and/or F L U M designation vs. that which could be expected under the proposed amendment. ■ Consistency/conformity/harmony with other Goals, Objectives, Policies (GOPs) and provisions in the Element being amended and any other Element of the GMP relevant to the petition, as well as any other applicable regulations (e.g. Manatee Protection Plan, specific LDC provisions). ■ Furtherance of existing GOPs relevant to the petition. ■ Furtherance of any other plans or designations that is applicable or relevant to the petition (e.g. a redevelopment plan, Area of Critical State Concern, Rural Area of Opportunity). • Energy efficiency and conservation, reduction of greenhouse gases, reduction of vehicle miles travelled, etc., as [previously] required in HB 697 (2008). • GMP amendment provisions/requirements for a comprehensive plan and plan amendment in Ch. 163.3177(1)(f), and 163.3177(6)(a)2. and 8., Florida Statutes. It is important to carefully organize the amendment package; be sure all exhibits are consistently labeled, are in the proper order, and are correctly referenced on the pages of the application. For site -specific amendments, be sure to clearly identify the subject site, include North arrow and scale, and source. A petition narrative is often helpful.

The development proposes to construct ±60,000 SF of self -storage units along with a ±5,000 sf office in the undeveloped ±5.62-acre property. The subject site is located at 5767 Collier Boulevard, Naples FL, 34114. The site is zoned Agricultural (A). Refer to Figure 1 below for the project location and Appendix A for a proposed concept plan. The 5767 Collier Blvd. development will conduct a "Small Scale Study" TIS as it adheres to all the criteria in the Collier County Guidelines for such. The analysis is based on the available Land Use categories provided in the 11th Edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual and provides the highest and best use scenario with respect to the project's proposed trip generation. Background traffic is extracted from the 2022 Collier County's historical Annual Update and Inventory Reports (AUIR). Figure 1: Project Location 1 Page 221 of 1180 DAVIDSON Proposed Improvements Upon clearing the subject property, the Collier Blvd. (5767) development proposes to construct ±60,000 SF of self - storage space comprised of 48 units, a ±5,000 sf office, associated parking, stormwater management system, and utilities. Table 1 details the land use code and units for the proposed development.

The site will utilize and expand the existing right -in to service the site. The projected operational year is 2024. Trip Generation Trip generation rates are per the Institute of Transportation Engineers publication, Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition. Table 2 illustrates a summary of the trips generated by the proposed use and their entering/exiting breakdown per the percentages provided by the ITE Trip Generation Manual.

Peak Hour (Adjacent) 20 8 (40%) 12 (60%) Trip Distribution and Assignment The traffic generated by the proposed development is assigned to the nearest local roadway and concurrency links using basic knowledge of the surrounding area and the 2022 Collier County AUIR data. Per Coillier County TIS guidelines, significantly impacted roadways are identified based on the proposed projects highest peak hour trip generation of the adjacent street traffic. Per 2022 Collier County AUIR, the peak direction along Collier Boulevard (Link 37.0) is northbound. The total trips accounted for are representative of the worst case scenario PM peak hour trip generation for the proposed development. The site generated trip distribution is shown in Table 3 and is graphically depicted in Appendix B.

Background Traffic The background traffic is conservatively evaluated, the historical growth rate shows the following over the last five years: Per the Growth Rate Calculations provided by Collier County in the AUIR a minimum average growth rate of 2.00% is used to determine the projects expected traffic two years after the 2024 build -out; refer to Table 4.

The 2026 roadway conditions are based on the current Collier County Growth Management Division Five Year Work Program. Based on the roadway's current level of service (LOS) and remaining capacity, the LOS is anticipated to remain the same through 2026. The existing and future roadway conditions are illustrated in Table 5. Table 5: Existing and Future Roadway Conditions Exist. Peak Dir, Roadway Link Roadway Link Location Exist.

Based on the TIS criterion, this project does not create any significant or adverse impacts to the area's roadway network. Significance Test As shown below in Table 7 the adjacent concurrency link is not found to be significantly impacted on Collier Blvd. during the PM Peak Hour traffic. The traffic generated by the proposed development will have a maximum of only a 0.36% PM Peak Directional (North bound) impact on Collier Boulevard. As such, additional concurrency segments do not require analysis under the 2%-2%-3% review criteria.

Therefore, no additional concurrency analysis is required. Operational and Turn Lane Analysis The Collier Blvd. (5767) development is proposing a driveway connection to Collier Boulevard, a multi -lane divided roadway. According to Collier County Transportation Planning Development Guidebook, the criterion for left- and right-hand turn lanes on multi -lane divided roadways are as follows: • ".., only when the projected traffic volume at the proposed opening (two-way total) averages 150 vph..." • "Right turn lanes shall always be provided for existing multi -lane divided roadways...". The site has an existing right turn lane access along Collier Blvd. which the development proposes to extend further north (see Appendix A). During the operational analysis, the entering & exiting PM peak hour trips generated by the proposed development (8 PM Trips, exiting governs) do not exceed the requirements for a left turn lane above, therefore, no left turn lane is proposed along Collier Boulevard. Left turn -in entering traffic will access the site via the median split just north of the property. Conclusion The proposed development creates an increase in the AM/PM peak hour trips due to the proposed use; however, this project will cause de minimis effects to the surrounding roadway network. The development proposes to extend the existing right turn lane adjacent to the site, in compliance with Collier County and FDOT standards.

Aerial Photo (Property Appraiser GIS) PUDZ-PL20230012017 South Naples Toy Storage CPUD Page 3 of 13 Revised: December 23, 2025 Page 239 of 1180 GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) CONSISTENCY: Future Land Use Element (FLUE): The subject property is located within the Urban Designation, Urban Mixed -Use District, Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict as identified on the countywide Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). Due to the rezoning request for increased intensity, and a use that is not currently allowed within the subdistrict, the proposed petition is required to attain consistency with the adopted GMP. This has resulted in the submittal of a companion Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) for consideration which, if approved, would allow a maximum of 60,000 square feet of indoor vehicle storage. The proposed CPUD may be deemed consistent with the Future Land Use Element if the companion GMPA is adopted and goes into effect. The PUD Ordinance should provide for the effective date consistent with the effective date of the companion GMPA petition. (See Attachment B — FLUE Consistency Memorandum) Transportation Element: In evaluating this project, staff reviewed the applicant's February 1, 2024 Traffic Impact Statement for consistency with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan (GMP) using the 2024 Annual Update and Inventory Reports (AUIR). Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the GMP states; "The County Commission shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation applications, conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity of permissible development, with consideration of their impact on the overall County transportation system, and shall not approve any petition or application that would directly access a deficient roadway segment as identified in the current AUIR or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment that is deficient as identified in the current AUIR, or which significantly impacts a roadway segment or adjacent roadway segment that is currently operating and/or is projected to operate below an adopted Level of Service Standard within the five year AUIR planning period, unless specific mitigating stipulations are also approved. A petition or application has significant impacts if the traffic impact statement reveals that any of the following occur: a. For links (roadway segments) directly accessed by the project where project traffic is equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; b. For links adjacent to links directly accessed by the project where project traffic is equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; and c. For all other links the project traffic is considered to be significant up to the point where it is equal to or exceeds 3% of the adopted LOS standard service volume. Mitigating stipulations shall be based upon a mitigation plan prepared by the applicant and submitted as part of the traffic impact statement that addresses the projece's significant impacts on all roadways. " Staff findings: According to the TIS provided with this petition the proposed South Naples Toy Storage development will generate a projected total of +/- 20 PM peak hour trips on the adjacent PUDZ-PL20230012017 South Naples Toy Storage CPUD Page 4 of 13 Revised: December 23, 2025 Page 240 of 1180 roadway Collier Boulevard. The trips generated will occur on the following adjacent roadway network links: Roadway/Link Link Current Peak Projected P.M 2024 Level 2024 Hour Peak Peak of Service Remaining Direction Hour/Peak (LOS) Capacity Volume/Peak Direction Direction Project Traffic 1 Collier Manatee Rd 2,200/NB 8/NB D 299 Boulevard/ to Mainsail 37.0 Dr ' Source for P.M. Peak Hour/Peak Direction Project Traffic is February 1, 2024; Traffic Impact Statement provided by the petitioner. 2. Expected Deficiency 2032 due to Trip Bank, not caused by this development. Roadway is the Jurisdiction of FDOT. Based on the TIS provided by the applicant, the 2024 AUIR, the subject PUD can be found consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan. Transportation Planning staff finds this petition consistent with the GMP. The proposed development represents a 0.36% (de minimis, less than 1%) peak hour, peak direction impact on the adjacent Collier Boulevard roadway. Conservation and Coastal Management Element (COME): Environmental review staff has found this project to be consistent with the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME). The project site consists of 3.68 acres of native vegetation. A minimum of 0.55 acres (15%) of native vegetation is required to be preserved. GMP Conclusion: The proposed PUD is inconsistent with the GMP, unless the Board approves the companion GMPA first or concurrent with the PUD and the uses and intensities align. STAFF ANALYSIS: Staff has completed a comprehensive evaluation of this land use petition, including the criteria upon which a recommendation must be based, specifically noted in LDC Section 10.02.13.B.5, Planning Commission Recommendation (commonly referred to as the "PUD Findings"), and Section 10.02.08.F, Nature of Requirements of Planning Commission Report (referred to as "Rezone Findings"), which establish the legal basis to support the CCPC's recommendation. The CCPC uses the aforementioned criteria as the basis for its recommendation to the Board, who in turn use the criteria to support their action on the rezoning or amendment request. In addition, staff offers the following analyses: Environmental Review: Environmental Planning staff has reviewed the petition to address environmental concerns. The required preserve is 0.55 acres (15% of 3.68 acres); the Master Concept Plan provides for a 0.68-acre preserve onsite. The environmental data indicates the PUDZ-PL20230012017 South Naples Toy Storage CPUD Page 5 of 13 Revised: December 23, 2025 Page 241 of 1180 proposed project is in an area that has the potential to contain a variety of protected animal species; however, none were observed on -site. The proposed project is located within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) consultation area for Bonneted Bats (Eumops floridanus). However, no evidence was found indicating the trees were being utilized by Bonneted Bats. The only listed species observed onsite was two Little Blue Herons (Egretta caerulea). This species is transient; therefore, follow-up evaluations will need to occur to ensure appropriate protection. The Environmental Data indicates the property is located outside the Panther Zone for Florida Panther (Felis concolor coryi). There were no direct observations of panthers onsite. However, because of the properties' close proximity to panther zones, the future users of the storage units should be provided with information to minimize human -wildlife conflicts. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) wildlife data indicates the presence of Black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) in the area. A black bear management plan must be included in PPL or SDP review. Additionally, the property contains potential habitat for Eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon corais couperi). Consultation with the US Federal Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) regarding guidelines and permitting requirements will be required before construction. This information will be included in the required listed species management and reviewed during the SDP/PPL review. Transportation Review: Transportation Planning staff has reviewed the petition for compliance with the GMP and the LDC and recommends approval. Utilities Review: The project lies within the regional potable water service area and the south wastewater service area of the Collier County Water -Sewer District (CCWSD). Water and wastewater services are available via existing infrastructure within the adjacent right-of-way. Sufficient water and wastewater treatment capacities are available. Any improvements to the CCWSD's water or wastewater systems necessary to provide sufficient capacity to serve the project will be the responsibility of the owner/developer and will be conveyed to the CCWSD at no cost to the County at the time of utilities acceptance. Landscape Review: The landscape buffers on the master plan are consistent with LDC requirements Stormwater Review: Stormwater staff has reviewed the petition for compliance with the GMP and the LDC and recommends approval of this project. Zoning Services Review: Staff has evaluated the uses proposed and their intensities and the development standards such as building heights, setbacks, and landscape buffers. Staff also evaluated the building mass, building location and orientation, the amount and type of open space and its location, and traffic generation/attraction of the proposed uses. After this review, staff has determined that the proposed uses are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. PUDZ-PL20230012017 South Naples Toy Storage CPUD Page 6 of 13 Revised: December 23, 2025 Page 242 of 1180 The proposed CPUD requests a maximum gross area of 60,000 square feet of commercial uses for indoor vehicle storage (SIC code 4225, mini -and -self -storage warehousing only). The proposed CPUD also includes several accessory uses, including: 1. Administrative Offices within the same structures as principal uses. 2. Outside storage or display of merchandise associated with recreational vehicle and boat sales subject to LDC Section 4.02.12. 3. Customary accessory uses and structure that are incidental to the list of permitted principal uses. The CPUD further requests a preserve with principal uses that include: 1. Preservation of natural vegetation 2. Pervious and impervious pathways and boardwalks, subject to criteria identified in LDC 3.05.07.H. l .h.i 3. Benches for seating The preserve will include preserve accessory uses as the following: 1. Stormwater management structures and facilities, subject to criteria identified in LDC 3.05.07.H. l .h.ii The proposed CPUD includes a maximum building height of 35 feet zoned and 40 feet actual for principal and accessory uses. The properties to the north and west are undeveloped, which are zoned Agriculture (A) with a maximum height of 35 feet. The properties to the south are zoned Agriculture (A) with a maximum height of 35 feet and Heavy Commercial (C-5) zoning district with a maximum height of 35 feet. To the east, across from Collier Blvd, is the Silver Lakes MPUD with a maximum height of 15 feet for the recreational residences and travel trailer vehicles and 35 feet for the commons/recreational areas. The proposed CPUD will be required to meet the architectural and site design standards in the LDC at the time of site plan approval. The proposed CPUD includes a 25 ft-front yard setback, 15 ft- front and side yard setback, and a 25 ft preserve setback. Additionally, 30 percent of the property will be designated as open space. The Master Plan proposes a 10-foot wide "Type A" landscape buffer along the eastern, southern, and northern perimeters of the PUD. The western perimeter of the PUD will consist of a preserve with a 25 ft preserve setback. These buffers are consistent with the required buffers of the surrounding properties. The locations of buildings, setbacks, and open space contribute to the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. Transportation review staff has determined that the proposed CPUD will not exceed Level of Service Standards on Collier Boulevard. PUD FINDINGS: LDC Section 10.02.13.13.5 states that, "In support of its recommendation, the CCPC shall make findings as to the PUD Master Plan's compliance with the following criteria in addition to the findings in LDC Section 10.02.08": 1. The suitability of the area for the type and pattern of development proposed in PUDZ-PL20230012017 South Naples Toy Storage CPUD Page 7 of 13 Revised: December 23, 2025 Page 243 of 1180 relation to physical characteristics of the land, surrounding areas, traffic and access, drainage, sewer, water, and other utilities. Water and wastewater mains are available along Collier Blvd. There are adequate water and wastewater treatment capacities to serve the project. Any improvements to the CCWSD's water or wastewater systems necessary to provide sufficient capacity to serve the project will be the responsibility of the owner/developer and will be conveyed to the CCWSD at no cost to the County at the time of utilities acceptance. The site isn't currently covered by a South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Environmental Resource Permit (ERP). However this permit will be required prior to any proposed change in land use or development. That process will ensure consistency with all applicable state standards for stormwater systems. Currently, the site includes no formal stormwater system and drainage is presumably influenced by a shallow surface ditch which leads westwards through the property; ultimate discharge is into the Gulf via Rookery Bay. 2. Adequacy of evidence of unified control and suitability of any proposed agreements, contracts, or other instruments or for amendments in those proposed, particularly as they may relate to arrangements or provisions to be made for the continuing operation and maintenance of such areas and facilities that are not to be provided or maintained at public expense. Documents submitted with the application, which were reviewed by the County Attorney's Office, demonstrate unified control of the property. 3. Conformity of the proposed Planned Unit Development with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). Comprehensive Planning staff finds that the proposed PUD will only be consistent with the GMP upon adoption of the companion GMPA-PL20230012845. 4. The internal and external compatibility of proposed uses, which conditions may include restrictions on location of improvements, restrictions on design, and buffering and screening requirements. As described in the Staff Analysis section of this staff report subsection Landscape Review, staff is of the opinion that the proposed project will be compatible with the surrounding area. The Master Plan proposes the appropriate perimeter landscape buffers. 5. The adequacy of usable open space areas in existence and as proposed to serve the development. For Commercial PUDs, 30% of the gross area shall be devoted to usable open space according to LDC 4.07.02.G.2. The PUD Master Plan indicates compliance with this standard, with 30% to be provided as open space. 6. The timing or sequence of development for the purpose of ensuring the adequacy of PUDZ-PL20230012017 South Naples Toy Storage CPUD Page 8 of 13 Revised: December 23, 2025 Page 244 of 1180 available improvements and facilities, both public and private. Water and wastewater mains are available along Collier Blvd. There are adequate water and wastewater treatment capacities to serve the project. Any improvements to the CCWSD's water or wastewater systems necessary to provide sufficient capacity to serve the project will be the responsibility of the owner/developer and will be conveyed to the CCWSD at no cost to the County at the time of utilities acceptance. As noted above, Transportation Planning staff finds this petition consistent with the GMP. Operational impacts will be addressed at time of first development order (SDP or Plat), at which time a new TIS will be required to demonstrate turning movements for all site access points. Finally, the project's development must comply with all other applicable concurrency management regulations when development approvals, including but not limited to any plats and or site development plans, are sought. 7. The ability of the subject property and of surrounding areas to accommodate expansion. Water and wastewater mains are available along Collier Blvd. There are adequate water and wastewater treatment capacities to serve the project. Any improvements to the CCWSD's water or wastewater systems necessary to provide sufficient capacity to serve the project will be the responsibility of the owner/developer and will be conveyed to the CCWSD at no cost to the County at the time of utilities acceptance. 8. Conformity with PUD regulations or desirable modifications of such regulations in the particular case based on the determination that such modifications are justified as meeting public purposes to a degree at least equivalent to the literal application of such regulations. No deviations are proposed in connection with this request to rezone to CPUD. Rezone Findings: LDC Subsection 10.02.08.F states, "When pertaining to the rezoning of land, the report and recommendations to the planning commission to the Board of County Commissioners... shall show that the planning commission has studied and considered the proposed change in relation to the following when applicable": 1. Whether the proposed change will be consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Future Land Use Map and the elements of the Growth Management Plan. The proposed PUD is inconsistent with the GMP, unless the Board approves the companion GMPA first or concurrent with the PUD and the uses and intensities align. 2. The existing land use pattern. The surrounding land uses are described in the Surrounding Land Use and Zoning section on page 4 of this staff report. PUDZ-PL20230012017 South Naples Toy Storage CPUD Page 9 of 13 Revised: December 23, 2025 Page 245 of 1180 3. The possible creation of an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts. The subject parcel is of sufficient size and therefore will not result in an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts. It is also comparable with expected land uses by virtue of its consistency with the FLUE of the GMP, if the companion GMPA is approved. 4. Whether existing district boundaries are illogically drawn in relation to existing conditions on the property proposed for change. The CPUD boundary follows the boundaries of the existing parcels. 5. Whether changed or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed rezoning necessary. The proposed change is not necessary but is being requested in compliance with the LDC provisions to seek such changes. The petitioner believes the rezoning is necessary for the purpose of constructing a commercial development. 6. Whether the proposed change will adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood. The neighborhood and living conditions are characterized by the rural and natural lands in vicinity of the site. The proposed development is more intense than the nearby undeveloped agricultural areas to the west and north. The proposed change will not adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood. The development standards proposed ensure compatibility with neighboring properties. 7. Whether the proposed change will create or excessively increase traffic congestion or create types of traffic deemed incompatible with surrounding land uses because of peak volumes or projected types of vehicular traffic, including activity during construction phases of the development, or otherwise affect public safety. As noted above, Transportation Planning staff finds this petition consistent with the GMP. Operational impacts will be addressed at time of first development order (SDP or Plat). Additionally, the project's development must comply with all other applicable concurrency management regulations when development approvals are sought. 8. Whether the proposed change will create a drainage problem. The proposed CPUD request is not anticipated to create a stormwater management problem for the area. Although records indicate a pending application, the site is not currently covered by a South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Environmental Resource Permit (ERP). This permit will need to be secured prior to any proposed change in land use or development. That process will ensure consistency with all applicable state standards for stormwater systems. In addition, site development approval (SDP) will be required from Collier County, to ensure that local development standards are maintained and that proposed stormwater system(s) are designed consistent with relevant LDC and PUDZ-PL20230012017 South Naples Toy Storage CPUD Page 10 of 13 Revised: December 23, 2025 Page 246 of 1180 County Ordinances for water quality and water quantity, during both the interim construction phase and final implementation. Best management practices, treatment, and storage will be addressed through ERP with the SFWMD. Staff will evaluate the stormwater management system and design criteria at the time of SDP. 9. Whether the proposed change will seriously reduce light and air to adjacent areas. It is not anticipated this CPUD will reduce light or air to the adjacent areas. Development of the site will need to meet the site design standards as set forth in the LDC. 10. Whether the proposed change will adversely affect property values in the adjacent areas. This is a subjective determination based upon anticipated results, which may be internal or external to the subject property. Property valuation is affected by a host of factors, including zoning; however, zoning by itself may or may not affect values since value determination is driven by market forces. 11. Whether the proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations. The approval of the CPUD rezone request is not likely to deter development activity of the surrounding properties. 12. Whether the proposed change will constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner, contrasting with the public welfare. If the proposed development complies with the GMP, then that constitutes a public policy statement supporting zoning actions when they are consistent with said Comprehensive Plan. Should approval of the proposed GMP Amendment be granted, the proposed change would not constitute a grant of special privilege. Consistency with the FLUE is determined to be a public welfare relationship because actions consistent with the County's comprehensive plan are in the public interest. 13. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance with existing zoning. The subject property can be used in accordance with existing zoning to develop agriculture uses, single family dwellings, and schools; however, the proposed uses and intensities cannot be achieved without this PUD rezoning action. 14. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the County. It is staff s opinion the proposed uses and associated development standards and developer commitments will ensure that the project is not out of scale with the needs of the PUDZ-PL20230012017 South Naples Toy Storage CPUD Page 11 of 13 Revised: December 23, 2025 Page 247 of 1180 community. 15. Whether is it impossible to find other adequate sites in the County for the proposed use in districts already permitting such use. The petition was reviewed based on the location and proposed use of the subject site, and staff does not specifically review other sites in conjunction with a specific petition. 16. The physical characteristics of the property and the degree of site alteration, which would be required to make the property usable for any of the range of potential uses under the proposed zoning classification. Any development anticipated by the PUD Document would require considerable site alteration, and this project will undergo extensive evaluation relative to all federal, state, and local development regulations during the SDP and/or platting processes, and again later as part of the building permit process 17. The impact of development on the availability of adequate public facilities and services consistent with the levels of service adopted in the Collier County Growth Management Plan and as defined and implemented through the Collier County Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance, as amended. The development will have to meet all applicable criteria set forth in the LDC regarding Adequate Public Facilities. The project must also be consistent with all applicable goals and objectives of the GMP regarding adequate public facilities. This petition has been reviewed by county staff that is responsible for jurisdictional elements of the GMP as part of the rezoning process, and staff has concluded that the developer has provided appropriate commitments so that the impacts to the Level of Service (LOS) will be minimized. 18. Such other factors, standards, or criteria as the Board of County Commissioners shall deem important in protecting the public health, safety, and welfare. To be determined by the Board during its advertised public hearing.

PagPSOV257 of 1180 EXHIBIT F LIST OF DEVELOPER COMMITMENTS South Naples Toy Storage CPUD A Commercial Planned Unit Development The purpose of this Section is to set forth the development commitments for the development of this project. GENERAL: A. One entity (hereinafter the Managing Entity) shall be responsible for PUD monitoring until close- out of the PUD, and this entity shall also be responsible for satisfying all PUD commitments until close-out of the PUD. At the time of this PUD approval, the Managing Entity is Timmer Partners LLC. Should the Managing Entity desire to transfer the monitoring and commitments to a successor entity, then it must provide a copy of a legally binding document that needs to be approved for legal sufficiency by the County Attorney. After such approval, the Managing Entity will be released of its obligations upon written approval of the transfer by County staff, and the successor entity shall become the Managing Entity. As Owner and Developer sell off tracts, the Managing Entity shall provide written notice to County that includes an acknowledgement of the commitments required by the PUD by the new owner and the new owner's agreement to comply with the Commitments through the Managing Entity, but the Managing Entity shall not be relieved of its responsibility under this Section. When the PUD is closed -out, then the Managing Entity is no longer responsible for the monitoring and fulfillment of PUD commitments. B. Issuance of a development permit by a county does not in any way create any rights on the part of the applicant to obtain a permit from a state or federal agency and does not create any liability on the part of the county for issuance of the permit if the applicant fails to obtain requisite approvals or fulfill the obligations imposed by a state or federal agency or undertakes actions that result in a violation of state or federal law. (Section 125.022, FS) C. All other applicable state or federal permits must be obtained before commencement of the development. 2. TRANSPORTATION: A. The maximum total daily trip generation for the PUD shall not exceed 20 two-way PM peak hour net trips based on the use codes and trip generation rates in the ITE Trip Generation Manual in effect at the time of application for SDP/SDPA or subdivision plat approval. 3. LANDSCAPING: A. The PUD shall provide landscape buffering as provided on the master plan in accordance with the Land Development Code. B. Preserves may be used to satisfy the landscape buffer requirements after exotic vegetation removal in accordance with LDC sections 4.06.02 and 4.06.05.E.1. Supplemental plantings with native plant materials shall be in accordance with 3.05.07. Owner will plant additional landscape material in the buffer to achieve the opacity requirement no later than one year from the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. PagPAOP258 of 1180 4. ENVIRONMENTAL: A. The Project has 3.68 acres of native vegetation. The Project will preserve a minimum of 15 percent of the site's native vegetation as shown on the Master Plan. The minimum required preserve for the PUD is 0.552 ± acres. However, the Project will provide at least 0.68± acres of preservation, and disturbed wetlands will be mitigated. B. At time of development review, a Black Bear Management Plan, Florida Panther Management Plan, Wading Birds Management Plan, Human -Panther Co -existence Plan, and List Plan Species Protection Precautions will be provided, if necessary, as determined by the County Manager or designee. 5. PUBLIC UTILITIES: A. At the time of application for Site Development Plan (SDP) approval, as the case may be, offsite improvements and/or upgrades to the water distribution/transmission system and wastewater collection/transmission system may be required to adequately handle the total estimated peak hour flow from the project. Whether or not such improvements are necessary, and if so, the exact nature of such improvements and/or upgrades shall be determined by the County Manager or designee at time of SDP review. Such improvement and/or upgrades as may be necessary shall be permitted and installed at the owner's sole cost and expense and may be required to be in place prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any portion or phase of the development that triggers the need for such improvements and/or upgrades at the determination of the County Manager or their designee. Pagp99P259 of 1180 it Collier County CONSISTENCY MEMORANDUM TO: Tim Finn, Planner III, Zoning Services FROM: Jessica Constantinescu, Planner II, Comprehensive Planning Growth Management Community Development Department DATE: December 16, 2025 SUBJECT: South Naples Toy Storage CPUD (PUDZ) [PL20230012017] PETITION NUMBER: PUDZ- PL20230012017 PETITION NAME: South Naples Toy Storage (CPUD) REQUEST: To rezone ±5.62 acres from Rural Agricultural (A) to South Naples Toy Storage Commercial Planned Unit Development (CPUD) to allow a maximum of 60,000 square feet of gross leasable area of indoor air-conditioned vehicle storage. A Small -Scale Growth Management Plan Amendment (SSGMPA), PL20230012845, is a companion petition to amend the GMP to create the South Naples Toy Storage Commercial Subdistrict. LOCATION: The subject property, a ± 5.62-acre parcel, is located on the west side of Collier Boulevard (SR 951), approximately 1.8 miles south of Tamiami Trail East (US 41) in Section 10, Township 51 South, Range 26 East. COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING COMMENTS: The subject property is located within the Urban Designation, Urban Mixed -Use District, Urban Coastal Fringe Subdistrict as identified on the countywide Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). Due to the rezoning request for increased intensity, and a use that is not currently allowed within the subdistrict, the proposed petition is required to attain consistency with the adopted GMP. This has resulted in the submittal of a companion Growth Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) for consideration which, if approved, would allow a maximum of 60,000 square feet of indoor vehicle storage. Relevant FLUE Objectives and policies are stated below (in italics); each policy is followed by staff analysis [in bold]. FLUE Policy 5.6: Growth Management Community Development • Planning & Zoning 2800 North Horseshoe Drive • Naples, FL 34104. 239-252-2400 • www.collier.gov/ Page 260 of 1180 New developments shall be compatible with, and complementary to, the surrounding land uses, as set forth in the Land Development Code (Ordinance 04-41, adopted June 22, 2004 and effective October 18, 2004, as amended). [Comprehensive Planning staff leaves this determination to Zoning staff as part of their review of the petition in its entirety to perform the compatibility analysis. However, staff would note that in reviewing the appropriateness of the requested uses/intensities on the subject site, the compatibility analysis might include a review of both the subject proposal and surrounding or nearby properties as to allowed use intensities and densities, development standards (building heights, setbacks, landscape buffers, etc.), building mass, building location, traffic generation/attraction, etc.] FLUE Objective 7 and Relevant Policies Policy 7.1: The County shall encourage developers and property owners to connect their properties to fronting connector and arterial roads, except where no such connection can be made without violating intersection spacing requirement of the Land Development Code. [The proposed CPUD includes access onto Collier Boulevard (SR 951).] Policy 7.2: The County shall encourage internal accesses or loop roads in an effort to help reduce vehicle congestion on nearby collector and arterial roads and minimize the need for traffic signals. [The proposed development is not of a feasible scale, nor does it feature an intensity that will result in increased vehicle congestion to warrant the need for internal accesses and loop roads.] Policy 7.3: All new and existing developments shall be encouraged to connect their local streets and/or interconnection points with adjoining neighborhoods or other developments regardless of land use type. The interconnection of local streets between developments is also addressed in Policy 9.3 of the Transportation Element. [Interconnection to the existing adjacent electrical sub -station is identified as a potential hazard. As such, an access at this boundary is not considered. Future development to the north may be considered for an interconnection point on the north property boundary, at the time of its development.] Policy 7.4: The County shall encourage new developments to provide walkable communities with a blend of densities, common open spaces, civic facilities and a range of housing prices and types. [The proposed development is not residential in nature and could not be purposed as a civic facility or common open space. As such, analysis of this policy is not applicable.] CONCLUSION: The proposed CPUD may be deemed consistent with the Future Land Use Element if the companion GMPA is adopted and goes into effect. The PUD Ordinance should provide for the effective date consistent with the effective date of the companion GMPA petition.

A concurrent GMPA is submitted, PL20230012845. The following document is a narrative of the PUD Rezone and how it is consistent with the standards for approval, LDC sections 10.02.13 B and 10.02.08 F, as well as the Growth Management Plan. LDC 10.02.13. B PUD Rezone Criteria a. The suitability of the area for the type and pattern of development proposed in relation to physical characteristics of the land, surrounding areas, traffic and access, drainage, sewer, water, and other utilities. The location of this site is compatible with the proposed use due to the location of an electrical substation to the South and East of the site. This industrial type of use makes the land unsuitable for the intended agricultural or residential use of the existing zoning. Further, the site is not directly adjacent to any residential developments and abuts a natural preserve of Rookery Bay to the West and North, ensuring that no development will occur along any side of the subject property. Directly to the south is also property zoned C-5, showing the area is compatible with this type of commercial use. Regarding traffic, please see the included TIS which shows that the proposed use has minimal impact to the adjacent roadways, as primary access is to be off Collier Blvd. The project proposes to connect to public utilities. Adequate drainage and storm water facilities shall be provided per code. b. Adequacy of evidence of unified control and suitability of any proposed agreements, contract, or other instruments, or for amendments in those proposed, particularly as they may relate to arrangements or provisions to be made for the continuing operation and maintenance of such areas and facilities that are not to be provided or maintained at public expense. Findings and recommendations of this type shall be made only after consultation with the county attorney. Please see the included Covenant of Unified Control. Timmer Partners LLC will own, develop, and operate the facility and will be responsible for the continuing operation and maintenance of the facility. 4365 Radio Road • Suite 201 • Naples, FL 34104 • P: 239.434.6060 • www.davidsonengineering.com Page 274 of 1180 DE DAVIDSON E N G I N E E R 1114 G c. Conformity of the proposed PUD with the goals, objectives and policies of the Growth Management Plan. (This is to include identifying what Sub -district, policy or other provision allows the requested uses/density, and fully explaining/addressing all criteria or conditions of that Sub -district, policy or other provision.) The CPUD Rezone application is a companion piece to a GMPA which aims to create a new subdistrict to permit the commercial type uses identified in this application in the location. The provisions of this CPUD will conform with those of the companion subdistrict. Per the included market study, there is a need for this type of business in the subject area. d. The internal and external compatibility of proposed uses, which conditions may include restrictions on location of improvements, restrictions on design, and buffering and screening requirements. The use will be located away from Collier Boulevard due to the shape of the parcel, with a thin portion reaching the road and the developable area further West. Landscape buffering shall be provided in accordance with the included PUD exhibits as appropriate and determined by the LDC. e. The adequacy of usable open space areas in existence and as proposed to serve the development. A preserve is to be provided per the LDC requirements as well as required landscape buffers per the included master site plan. As this is a commercial development, there is a 30% open space requirement which shall be met through the aforementioned green spaces. f. The timing or sequence of development for the purpose of assuring the adequacy of available improvements and facilities, both public and private. Adequate facilities will be provided to support this low intensity commercial development, the project proposes to connect to public utilities. g. The ability of the subject property and of surrounding areas to accommodate expansion. The site is currently vacant and sited adjacent to industrial and heavy commercial type uses. The site is not under a conservation Future Land Use and would be a complimentary development to the neighboring developed uses while not causing a nuisance to any nearby residential as it will not be highly visible from the street and appropriate buffering shall be provided. h. Conformity with PUD regulations, or as to desirable modifications of such regulations in the particular case, based on determination that such modifications of justified as meeting public purposes to a degree at least equivalent to literal application of such regulations. The regulations outlined within the PUD documents will be followed for any development made on the property. Page 275 of 1180 DE DAVIDSON ENGINEERING LDC 10.02.08 F Rezone Criteria 1. Whether the proposed change will be consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies and future land use map and the elements of the Growth Management Plan. A companion GMPA is pursued to ensure compatibility with the GMP. 2. The existing land use pattern. We believe that the proposed commercial uses of recreational vehicle storage and sales is compatible with the surrounding uses which include C-5 heavy commercial, electrical sub stations, and Collier Boulevard. An on -site preserve will buffer the site from the adjacent Rookery Bay Conservation areas to the West. 3. The possible creation of an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts. The site abuts industrial style uses so while this would be a sub district it matches the neighboring pattern of development. 4. Whether existing district boundaries are illogically drawn in relation to existing conditions on the property proposed for change. There currently exists isolated C-5 zoning to the south of this site, and then the electrical stations were permitted without altering the Agricultural zoning. This petition proposes to expand this area of existing heavy commercial and industrial style uses in a direction that will not adversely impact residential neighbors across Collier Boulevard. 5. Whether changed or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed amendment necessary. Please see the included market study to see the demand for this use in this specific area. 6. Whether the proposed change will adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood. Appropriate buffering will be implemented so as to not produce negative impacts to neighbors. 7. Whether the proposed change will create or excessively increase traffic congestion or create types of traffic deemed incompatible with surrounding land uses, because of peak volumes or projected types of vehicular traffic, including activity during construction phases of the development, or otherwise affect public safety. See included Traffic Impact Statement. The level of service is not anticipated to be significantly or adversely impacted by the proposed development. The maximum total daily trip generation for the site shall not exceed 20 two-way PM peak hour net trips based on the use codes and trip generation rates in the ITE Trip Generation Manual in effect at the time of SDP/SDPA application approval. 8. Whether the proposed change will create a drainage problem. The proposed design of the on -site stormwater management system will meet design and permitting standards from Collier County and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), as applicable. Stormwater runoff will be collected through both open drainage swales and/or stormwater inlet structures and discharged to on -site dry detention / retention systems where the required stormwater treatment and attenuation will be provided. Stormwater will ultimately discharge to on -site wetlands or adjacent off -site water bodies. 9. Whether the proposed change will seriously reduce light and air to adjacent areas. Page 276 of 1180 DE DAVIDSON EN GIN EE R INC, The development standards limit the height to 35' zoned and restrict the use to a gross floor area of 60,000 square feet. These limits will ensure that light and air will not be restricted to adjacent areas. 10. Whether the proposed change will adversely affect property values in the adjacent area. We do not anticipate the proposed development and rezone to adversely impact the property value of adjacent parcels. 11. Whether the proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations. This will not be a deterrent to developing the surrounding property via the existing regulations as the surrounding property is either already developed as industrial type electrical sub stations or a Rookery Bay Conservation area. 12. Whether the proposed change will constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. The proposed change does not propose a negative impact to the public welfare. The site is located adjacent to industrial type uses and is thus not appropriate for the zoned Agricultural or residential uses. 13. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance with existing zoning. Per the LDC, a residential or agricultural use could be pursued on this site. Due to the site's small size, it is more likely that a residential use would be more appropriate. The neighboring conservation lands would make it difficult to aggregate a large site for an agricultural endeavor. Further, the neighboring power substation makes this site virtually unusable as a residential use due to the associated noise and industrial nature of this use. A commercial use, such as the low intensity vehicle storage proposed, would be a better fit on the site, and better serve the neighboring residents of nearby motorcoach communities. 14. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the county. There is a documented need in Collier County for recreational vehicle storage and nearby residential developments could utilize this, particularly the residents of motor coach communities. 15. Whether it is impossible to find other adequate sites in the county for the proposed use in districts already permitting such use. The majority of heavy commercial zoned lots in Collier County have been developed, and many locations do not permit storage uses easily. This location was selected due to the existing heavy commercial development and lack of immediate adjacent residential development. 16.The physical characteristics of the property and the degree of site alteration which would be required to make the property usable for any of the range of potential uses under the proposed zoning classification. Please see included site plan for proposed site alteration. Page 277 of 1180 DE DAVIDSON E N G I N E E R 1114 G 17.The impact of development on the availability of adequate public facilities and services consistent with the levels of service adopted in the Collier County Growth Management Plan and as defined and implemented through the Collier County Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance [Code ch. 106, art. II], as amended. This development is not anticipated to significantly or adversely impact the level of service of public facilities and services. Please see included Level of Service exhibit for further analysis. 18.Such other factors, standards, or criteria that the Board of County Commissioners shall deem important in the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare. The proposed project does not create any public health or safety concerns, no hazardous or noxious uses are proposed. Future Land Use Element Provisions Policy 5.6 New developments shall be compatible with, and complementary to, the surrounding land uses, as set forth in the Land Development Code (Ordinance 04-41, adopted June 22, 2004 and effective October 18, 2004, as amended). We believe that the proposed commercial uses of recreational vehicle storage and sales is compatible with the surrounding uses which include C-5 heavy commercial, electrical sub stations, and Collier Boulevard. An on -site preserve will buffer the site from the adjacent Rookery Bay Conservation areas to the West. Policy 7.3 All new and existing developments shall be encouraged to connect their local streets and their interconnection points with adjoining neighborhoods or other developments regardless of land use type. The most direct access to this site is off Collier Boulevard and a paced drive shall be provided. Interconnection to the electrical sub -stations to the East and South is impractical and could present a safety or security hazard to both the general public and the power provider. Conservation Coastal Management Element Policy 6.1 For the County's Urban Designated Area, Estates Designated Area, Conservation Designated Area, and Agricultural/Rural Mixed Use District, Rural -Industrial District and Rural -Settlement Area District as designated on the FLUM, native vegetation shall be preserved through the application of the following minimum preservation and vegetation retention standards and criteria, unless the development occurs within the Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC) where the ACSC standards referenced in the Future Land Use Element shall apply. Notwithstanding the ACSC requirements, this Policy shall apply to all non- agricultural development except for single-family dwelling units situated on individual parcels that are not located within a watershed management conservation area identified in a Watershed Management Plan developed pursuant to Policies supporting Objective 2.1 of this Element. For property in Golden Gate Estates and designated Residential Estates in the Golden Gate Area Master Plan, the subdivision of parcels up to 13 acres in size into single family lots shall be treated as single family dwelling units under the preceding sentence. For properties not previously within the Coastal High Hazard Area but now within the Coastal High Hazard Area due to adoption of a revised Coastal High Hazard Area boundary in 2013, the native vegetation preservation and retention standards of the Non -Coastal High Hazard Area shall Page 278 of 1180 DE DAVIDSON E N G I N E E R 1114 G continue to apply. (Reference the Coastal High Hazard Area Comparison Map in the Future Land Use Element.) Acknowledged. As this site is within the Coastal High Hazard area and over 5 acres in size, a minimum of 15% of the site's native vegetation will be set aside as a preserve. An enhanced preserve is proposed per the Developer Commitments to increase compatibility with land to the West. Objective 7.1 Direct incompatible land uses away from listed animal species and their habitats. (The County relies on the listing process of State and Federal agencies to identify species that require special protection because of their endangered, threatened, or species of special concern status. Listed animal species are those species that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has designated as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern, in accordance with Rules 68A-27.003, 68A-27.004, and 68A- 27.005, F.A.C. and those species designated by various federal agencies as Endangered and Threatened species published in 50 CFR 17.) Acknowledged. Please see included listed species survey and species management plan. At time of development review, a Black Bear Management Plan, Florida Panther Management Plan, Wading Birds Management Plan, Human -Panther Co -existence Plan, and List Plan Species Protection Precautions will be provided, if necessary.

This authority includes, but is not limited to, the hiring and authorization of agents to assist in the preparation of applications, plans, surveys, and studies necessary to obtain zoning approval on the site. These representatives will remain the only entity to authorize development activity on the property until such time as a new or amended covenant of unified control is deliveredto Collier County. The undersigned recognize the following and will be guided accordingly in the pursuit of development of the project: 1. The property will be developed and used in conformity with the approved master plan including all conditions placed on the development and all commitments agreed to by the applicant in connection with the planned unit development rezoning. 2. The legal representative identified herein is responsible for compliance with all terms, conditions, safeguards, and stipulations made at the time of approval of the master plan, even if the property is subsequently sold in whole or in part, unless and until a new or amended covenant of unified control is delivered to and recorded by Collier County. 3. A departure from the provisions of the approved plans or a failure to comply with any requirements, conditions, or safeguards provided for in the planned unit development process will constitute a violation of the Land Development Code. 4. All terms and conditions of the planned unit development approval will be incorporated into covenants and restrictions which run with the land so as to provide notice to subsequent owners that all development activity within the planned unit development must be consistent with those terms and conditions. S. So long as this covenant is in force, Collier County can, upon the discovery of noncompliance with the terms, safeguards, and conditions of the planned unit development, seek equitable relief as necessary to compel compliance. The County will not issue permits, certificates, or licenses to occupy or use any part of the planned unit development and the County may stop ongoing construction activity until the project is brought into compliance with all terms, conditions and sa eguards of the planned unit development. i to ner Signature of Owner Printed Name of Owner Printed Name of Owner STATE OF FLORIDA, COUNTY OF COLLIER The foregoing instrument was acknowledged before me by means of Ophysical presence or ®online registration this2,0 day of + CX , 201' , by_ TOdd }AMPS who is ® personally known to me or ❑has produced as identification.

The development proposes to construct ±60,000 SF of self -storage units along with a ±5,000 sf office in the undeveloped ±5.62-acre property. The subject site is located at 5767 Collier Boulevard, Naples FL, 34114. The site is zoned Agricultural (A). Refer to Figure 1 below for the project location and Appendix A for a proposed concept plan. The 5767 Collier Blvd. development will conduct a "Small Scale Study" TIS as it adheres to all the criteria in the Collier County Guidelines for such. The analysis is based on the available Land Use categories provided in the 11th Edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual and provides the highest and best use scenario with respect to the project's proposed trip generation. Background traffic is extracted from the 2022 Collier County's historical Annual Update and Inventory Reports (AUIR). Figure 1: Project Location 1 Page 304 of 1180 E DAVIDSON Proposed Improvements Upon clearing the subject property, the Collier Blvd. (5767) development proposes to construct ±60,000 SF of self - storage space comprised of 48 units, a ±5,000 sf office, associated parking, stormwater management system, and utilities. Table 1 details the land use code and units for the proposed development.

The site will utilize and expand the existing right -in to service the site. The projected operational year is 2024. Trip Generation Trip generation rates are per the Institute of Transportation Engineers publication, Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition. Table 2 illustrates a summary of the trips generated by the proposed use and their entering/exiting breakdown per the percentages provided by the ITE Trip Generation Manual.

Peak Hour (Adjacent) 20 8 (40%) 12 (60%) Trip Distribution and Assignment The traffic generated by the proposed development is assigned to the nearest local roadway and concurrency links using basic knowledge of the surrounding area and the 2022 Collier County AUIR data. Per Coillier County TIS guidelines, significantly impacted roadways are identified based on the proposed projects highest peak hour trip generation of the adjacent street traffic. Per 2022 Collier County AUIR, the peak direction along Collier Boulevard (Link 37.0) is northbound. The total trips accounted for are representative of the worst case scenario PM peak hour trip generation for the proposed development. The site generated trip distribution is shown in Table 3 and is graphically depicted in Appendix B.

Background Traffic The background traffic is conservatively evaluated, the historical growth rate shows the following over the last five years: Per the Growth Rate Calculations provided by Collier County in the AUIR a minimum average growth rate of 2.00% is used to determine the projects expected traffic two years after the 2024 build -out; refer to Table 4.

The 2026 roadway conditions are based on the current Collier County Growth Management Division Five Year Work Program. Based on the roadway's current level of service (LOS) and remaining capacity, the LOS is anticipated to remain the same through 2026. The existing and future roadway conditions are illustrated in Table 5. Table 5: Existing and Future Roadway Conditions Exist. Peak Dir, Roadway Link Roadway Link Location Exist.

Based on the TIS criterion, this project does not create any significant or adverse impacts to the area's roadway network. Significance Test As shown below in Table 7 the adjacent concurrency link is not found to be significantly impacted on Collier Blvd. during the PM Peak Hour traffic. The traffic generated by the proposed development will have a maximum of only a 0.36% PM Peak Directional (North bound) impact on Collier Boulevard. As such, additional concurrency segments do not require analysis under the 2%-2%-3% review criteria.

Therefore, no additional concurrency analysis is required. Operational and Turn Lane Analysis The Collier Blvd. (5767) development is proposing a driveway connection to Collier Boulevard, a multi -lane divided roadway. According to Collier County Transportation Planning Development Guidebook, the criterion for left- and right-hand turn lanes on multi -lane divided roadways are as follows: • ".., only when the projected traffic volume at the proposed opening (two-way total) averages 150 vph..." • "Right turn lanes shall always be provided for existing multi -lane divided roadways...". The site has an existing right turn lane access along Collier Blvd. which the development proposes to extend further north (see Appendix A). During the operational analysis, the entering & exiting PM peak hour trips generated by the proposed development (8 PM Trips, exiting governs) do not exceed the requirements for a left turn lane above, therefore, no left turn lane is proposed along Collier Boulevard. Left turn -in entering traffic will access the site via the median split just north of the property. Conclusion The proposed development creates an increase in the AM/PM peak hour trips due to the proposed use; however, this project will cause de minimis effects to the surrounding roadway network. The development proposes to extend the existing right turn lane adjacent to the site, in compliance with Collier County and FDOT standards.

PID 00734160009. The property is currently undeveloped and is zoned Acreage not zoned agricultural, the legal address for the property is 10 5126 COMM SW CNR SEC 10, N 110.03FT TO POB, CONT N 330.11FT, E 673.67FT, S 330.18FT, W 670.96FT TO POB, + N 40FT OF ELY 660FT OF THE. A listed species survey was conducted on the property. Upon surveying the property TEC Biologist observed no evidence of the Gopher Tortoise, Burrowing Owl, Florida Bonneted Bat, Florida Black Bear, Listed Wading Birds, Florida Panther or any other listed species in the FNAI. Zero (0) Potentially Occupied (PO) Gopher Tortoise burrows and zero (0) Abandoned burrow (Ab) were observed within the subject properties' boundaries. Additionally, One (1) Cavity Tree (CT) was observed containing cavities. The species survey was conducted following FWC surveying guidelines in which biologist walked straight-line and meandering transects throughout the property boundaries. The cavity was scoped and it was found to be inactive. *original survey June 10, 2022. survey updated October 10, 2023. *Preserves may be used to satisfy the landscape buffer requirements after exotic vegetation removal in accordance with LDC sections 4.06.02 and 4.06.05.E.1. Supplemental plantings with native plant materials shall be in accordance with 3.05.07. In order to provide the required (insert Type B or Q buffer, a minimum 6-foot wide landscape buffer easement located outside the preserve will be conveyed by owner to a homeowners' association or condominium association at time of SDP or plat approval. Owner will plant additional landscape material in the buffer easement to achieve the opacity requirement no later than one year from the issuances of the first residential certificate of occupancy. 0.26Acres is proposed to be designated as an Easement for the SFWMD. *5767 Collier Blvd, Naples Florida 34113 is referring to the Collier County Parcel ID Number 00734160009.

As per the regulatory guidelines, the identified habitat does not contain any of the listed protected plant species requiring relocation or preservation. Should any protected plant species listed in Section 3.04.03 be observed within the designated development area prior to any construction or development activities, a comprehensive relocation plan will be implemented. These observed protected plant species will be promptly relocated to the designated on -site preserve area, adhering to the regulatory guidelines and ensuring the preservation and protection of these identified plant species. Based on the initial survey conducted, there were no observed protected plant species listed above or in FNAI Biomatrix 40899 on the subject site. It is our assessment that no further action should be required at this time. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 316 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan SPECIES MANAGEMENT PLAN Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) If any gopher Tortoises were to inhabit the property all construction or impactful activities will have to be 25'+ from any burrow, if any activity needs to occur within the 25' ft buffer area surrounding Gopher tortoise burrows an FWC Conservation Relocation permit will have to be obtained to develop within the site. To best manage and address the Gopher Tortoise listed species occupying the subject property, an FWC Authorized Agent will submit a Conservation Relocation Permit application to FWC for the relocation of the potentially occupied gopher tortoise burrows located within the subject property, either to a more ideal on -site location or to a recipient site (located off -site). Mitigation fees will be paid to FWC for the Gopher tortoise relocation permit and relocation efforts. Both the subject property and the area directly adjacent to the property will be re -surveyed prior to the relocation efforts and following the relocation efforts to ensure that all listed species have been accounted for within the proposed impacted area. At the request of the county, a siltation fence can be installed at a depth of 8" inches to prevent any additional Gopher tortoises from occupying the subject property after the relocation efforts have been made. If any listed species are observed following the relocation efforts, all impaction activities will cease. Tropical Environmental Consultants will be contacted as well as the FWC Regional biologist to address the situation moving forward. TEC will leave the permit open until all clearing activities have been completed for the proposed construction within the subject property. Florida Bonneted Bat (Eumops floridanus) Zero (0) rooting locations for the Bonneted Bat were identified on site. Following the Florida Bonneted Bat Consultation Guideline (October 2019), the property is larger than 5 acres and is located within the Consultation area for the Florida Bonneted Bat, a Roost Survey and Full Acoustic survey must be completed if roosting habitat will be lost or modified within 250 ft of the potential roost sites. Red -cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis) Federally listed as "endangered" by USFWS The Red -cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) is a woodpecker endemic to the southeastern United States. These woodpeckers are about the size of the common cardinal, with a its black cap and nape that encircle large white cheek patches being the most distinguishing feature. Historically, RCWs inhabited long leaf pine ecosystems throughout North America. Habitat loss is the main threat to this species, and it has been listed as endangered since October of 1970. Although the subject site falls within the USFWS Red -cockaded Woodpecker consultation area, no Red - cockaded Woodpeckers were observed and no suitable habitat for this species exists within the project boundaries. No further action should be required pertaining to Red -cockaded Woodpeckers. Page 317 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon couperi) Federally Listed as "Threatened" by USFWS The Eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon couperi) is listed as Threatened by USFWS, based on dramatic population declines caused by over -collecting for the domestic and international pet trade as well as mortalities caused by rattlesnake collectors who gassed gopher tortoise burrows to collect snakes. Since its listing, habitat loss and fragmentation by residential and commercial expansion have become much more significant threats to the eastern indigo snake. This species is widely distributed throughout central and south Florida; in northern Florida and southern Georgia, it primarily occurs in sandhill habitats. For the majority of smaller projects, simple execution of an FWC gopher tortoise relocation permit would effectively clear all potential refugia for the Eastern Indigo Snake within the development footprint. None identified on site. Wood Stork (Mycteria americana) Federally Listed as "Threatened" by USFWS The subject site is shown to be located within a Wood Stork Nesting Colony Core Foraging Area. Wood Storks typically nest colonially in medium to tall trees that occur in stands located either in swamps or on islands surrounded by relatively broad expanses of open water. Because of their specialized feeding behavior, Wood Storks forage most effectively in shallow -water areas with highly concentrated prey. Good foraging conditions are characterized by water that is relatively calm, open, and having water depths between 5 and 15 inches (5 and 38 cm). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has identified core foraging area (CFA) around all known Wood Stork nesting colonies that is important for reproductive success. In Florida, CFAs include suitable foraging habitat (SFH) within a 15-mile radius of the nest colony. The Service believes loss of suitable foraging wetlands within these CFAs may reduce foraging opportunities for the Wood Stork. Based on our review of available databases, there is no record of a Wood Stork rookery on the project site or within near proximity. However, documented Wood Stork Nesting Colonies exist within 10 miles of the subject site and within predetermined forage buffer limits. The USFWS and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers require that any impacts to on -site ditches and/or wetlands, which would eliminate a portion of the Wood Stork foraging habitat, be either mitigated through the purchase of mitigation credits or recreated elsewhere on -site so that there would be no net loss of Wood Stork foraging habitat. No Wood Storks were observed within the subject site and potential mitigation for Wood Stork habitat will be addressed during the permitting process if required. not listed but likely. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 318 of 1180 Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea) - *no species or evidence identified on site. The little blue heron is a small wading bird species that can reach a length of up to 29 inches (74 centimeters), with a wingspan of 41 inches (104 centimeters) and a weight of 14 ounces (397 grams). Little blue herons have a grayish -blue body and a dark red head during breeding, and a purplish head and neck during non -breeding periods (Rodgers et al. 1995). Behavior The diet of the little blue heron primarily consists of fish, insects, shrimp, and amphibians. Little blue herons feed alone, usually along freshwater systems and on floating vegetation. The little blue heron nests in colonies, often with other species of long-legged waders. Nests of sticks are placed in trees and shrubs on islands, thickets near water, or emergent vegetation over water. Little blue herons will lay three to five blue-green eggs that hatch in 20 to 24 days. The young are able to leave the nest and fly (fledge) at 28 days of age. Tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor) - *no species or evidence identified on site. The tricolored heron is a midsized member of the genus Egretta. This species can reach a length between 24-26 inches (61-66 centimeters) with a wingspan of approximately 36 inches (91 centimeters). The tricolored heron is named for its distinct coloration. It has a dark slate - blue colored head and upper body, a purple chest, and white underparts. This species also has a long, slender neck and bill, and is the only dark heron with light underparts. The diet of the tricolored heron primarily consists of fish. Tricolored herons breed in colonies between the months of February and August. Females construct nests out of sticks and vegetation collected by the males. Nests are found in trees or shrubs on salt marsh islands or standing water. Females lay between three to five eggs and both parents share incubation duties. Eggs hatch approximately 21-25 days after being laid (LaLonde 2003). The young remain in the nest until they are approximately 35 days old. Florida Black Bear (Ursus americanus) - *no species or evidence identified on site. Black bears are the only species of bear found in Florida. FWC biologists estimate that there are approximately 4,050 black bears in Florida. Adult male black bears usually weigh between 250 to 350 lbs. The largest adult male black bear in Florida weighed 760 lbs. Adult female black bears are smaller than males, usually weighing between 130 and 180 lbs. The largest adult female black bear in Florida weighed 460 lbs. Adult male black bears usually live within a 60 square mile area, whereas females usually live within a 15 square mile area. Female bears have their first litter at about 3 1/2 years old and generally have a litter every other year. In Florida, the breeding season runs from June to August and cubs are born around late January or early February. Bears are excellent climbers and often climb trees when they are frightened. About 80 percent of a black bear's diet comes from plants (e.g., fruits, nuts, berries), 15 percent from insects (e.g., termites, ants, yellow jackets) and 5 percent from meat (e.g., opossums, armadillos, carrion. Page 319 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Florida Panther (Puma concolor coryi) U.S. Status: Endangered FL Status: Endangered Description: A large (70 - 150 lbs. = 32 - 68 kg) cat with a long tail. Fur is dark buff to tawny above and light buff to white below; muzzle and tip of tail are black. The head is broad, and ears are round. Typical track shows four clawless toe pads around a three -lobed heel pad. Defining characteristics of the subspecies are a dorsal hair whorl, a crook in the tail, and white flecking on the neck and shoulders. Habitat: Requires extensive blocks of mostly forested communities. Large wetlands that are generally inaccessible to humans are important for diurnal refuge. Will tolerate improved areas in a mosaic of natural communities. Seasonal Occurrence: Year-round resident. Florida Distribution: Collier, Glades, and Lee counties are the stronghold for the Florida panther; Miami -Dade and Monroe counties are also important. Dispersing individuals may range well north in the peninsula searching for new territories. No occurrences noted. Big Cypress Fox Squirrel (Sciurus niger avicennia) Description: A large (22 - 26 in. = 550 - 660 mm) tree squirrel with variable dorsal fur color. The most common color phase has a black head and dorsal fur with buff sides and belly, white nose and ears, and buff and black tail (see photograph). Other forms may be nearly all black with white muzzle and ears. Few individuals are black and silver. Tail is long, nearly the length of the head and torso. Habitat: A variety of forested habitats with open to moderately dense understory and shrub cover. A mosaic of pine flatwoods, cypress swamps, and hardwood hammocks is ideal to provide year-round food and cover. Seasonal Occurrence: Active year-round. Florida Distribution: South of the Caloosahatchee River. No occurrences noted. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 320 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Florida Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) Zero 0 burrows for the Burrowing Owl were identified on site. Take of burrowing owls can be either incidental or intentional. Incidental take refers to take that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity. This type of take is prohibited without an incidental take permit or other authorization. Impacts to burrows in the act of building a house is an example of incidental take. Intentional take is not incidental to an otherwise lawful activity and is prohibited without a scientific collecting permit or unless the take is authorized under certain circumstances involving risks to property or human safety. Capturing and handling burrowing owls for research is an example of intentional take. Take of burrowing owls includes any of the following: 1. Causing injury or death of burrowing owl adults, eggs, or young. 2. Collapsing a Potentially Occupied burrow or blocking the entrance of a Potentially Occupied burrow in a manner that prevents an owl from entering or exiting the burrow. 3. Disturbances within 10 feet of a Potentially Occupied burrow entrance at any time of year are expected to cause take, unless outlined below in Examples of activities not expected to cause take. Given this species' year-round use of burrows, impacts to burrows result in significant disruption of breeding and sheltering activities. Examples of this form of take include, but are not limited to, inserting objects or liquids into a burrow, impeding a burrowing owl's ability to take shelter in a burrow, or blocking visibility around the Potentially Occupied burrow by erecting structures or planting vegetation greater than 8 inches in height within 10 feet of the burrow. 4. Disturbances within 33 feet of a Potentially Occupied burrow entrance during the breeding season (February 15-July 10) are expected to cause take (Millsap and Bear 2000), unless they are included below in Examples of activities not expected to cause take. 5. Intentionally and repeatedly forcing burrowing owls to fly or to exhibit signs of stress (e.g., giving alarm calls, producing snapping sounds with their bill, bobbing up and down, crouching and weaving back and forth, remaining vigilant toward the intruder) is considered take via harassment. This clause applies to instances when this is the purpose of the activity rather than incidental to an otherwise lawful activity. 6. Capturing, handling, and collecting burrowing owls or eggs constitute take, as do banding, collecting, attaching auxiliary markers to, and drawing blood or other biological samples from burrowing owls. 7. Use of a burrow scope within a Potentially Occupied burrow is expected to cause take. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 321 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan 8. Significant habitat modification -- An activity that results in the loss of greater than 50% of the total foraging habitat within a 1,970-foot radius circle around a Potentially Occupied burrow may result in significant habitat modification by impairing the essential behavior of foraging (unless authorized under Florida Forestry Wildlife BMP's and Florida Agricultural Wildlife BMP's or Other authorizations for take). FWC staff will evaluate activities that meet this criterion on a case by case basis to determine if significant habitat modification is likely to occur. When conducting this evaluation, FWC staff will consider Potentially Occupied burrows that are either on site or within 33 feet of the project boundary. Activities that may cause significant habitat modification include, but are not limited to, clearing, grading, paving, bulldozing, digging, building construction, and site preparation for development. FWC Recommended Conservation Practices Recommendations are general measures that could benefit the species but are not required. No FWC permit is required to conduct these activities. • Avoid the use of pesticides, rodenticides, insecticides, fungicides and/or herbicides immediately around the burrow entrance. Reduce or avoid the use of pesticides, rodenticides, insecticides, fungicides and/or herbicides in burrowing owl foraging habitat to the extent practicable, especially during the nesting season. Use these products according to label instructions. Pesticides can contaminate or possibly limit the amount of food available for owls. Raptors can become sick and even die from eating prey that have consumed certain rodenticides (Murray 2017). Short -tailed Hawk (Buteo brachyurus) The large stick nest is built in a tree, at a height ranging from 2.5 to 30 in (8.2 to 98.4 ft). In Florida, the bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) is a popular nesting tree of the short -tailed hawk. The nest is bulky, measuring 60-70 cm (24-28 in) wide and 30 cm (12 in) deep. Its 1- 3 eggs per clutch are white, usually with dark spots and blotches. The nesting season is January through June in Florida and is possibly similar in the tropics. Incubation occurs over 34 days with no known details of their fledgling period.[4] In Florida, American crows have been known to consume eggs of this species. Short -tailed hawks breed in the tropical and subtropical Americas from southeastern Brazil and northern Argentina north through Central America to the mountains of the Mexico -Arizona border area, as well as in southern Florida, United States; it is also found on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Utilizing both FWC and Audubon's Nest Finder data, TEC conducted a review for any recorded Bald Eagle nests (through the 2021-2022 nesting season) on or within the vicinity of the project site. This review revealed that there are zero 0 recorded Bald Eagle nests within 660 feet of the subject boundaries. The nearest recorded nests; CO004, is approximately 1.48 miles to the south & CO062 & 62a is 1.1 miles to the north. Please keep in mind that nest locations have not been updated or status reconfirmed following Hurricane Ian in late 2022. Being well outside the required 660-foot buffer, no further action should be required with respect to Bald Eagle nests. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 322 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method U1 UNT W'etland Location & Landscape 'Water Community stiucrare 631E1 - Preserve 9 9 8 631E3 6 3 619E3 5 - 4 640E3 4 6 4 619E1 4 4 5 The UMAM score at the proposed preserve location is the highest scoring location on site which is why it was chosen for the preserve, also the fact that the location chosen for the preserve is adjacent to wetlands which are connected downstream and are part of a larger wetland system. The lower quality wetlands on site will be impacted during construction (mitigation & preservation will offset impacts). The wetlands to be impacted are of lower quality and are inundated with exotic vegetation. Also, the water environment in the lower quality wetlands is not as significant. Impacting lower quality wetlands (in the middle of the site) for the construction of a storage unit facility rather than impacting the high -quality wetlands in the back of the property, which possesses a higher UMAM score and will serve as a vital preserve for protected species and vegetation. The preserves higher UMAM score and its location adjacent to a large, connected wetland system make it crucial corridor for safeguarding protected species, while minimizing impacts to the high -quality wetland. *If any protected vegetation or species are found they will be relocated to preserve* *The preserve will be 15% of the property* - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 323 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Exotic Evaluation Exotic species present include Acacia auriculiformis (8%), Melaleuca quinquenervia (35%), Schinus terebinthifolia(30%), across the whole property. Exotics are present but they do not reflect the majority of the property. Exotics are scattered throughout the site. There is native vegetation throughout the site as well. The property as a whole exotic density E3 (50-75%). The least amount of exotics are in the rear of the site, adjacent to the wetlands off site. Conservation Coastal Management Element (CCME) OBJECTIVE 6.1: Protect native vegetative communities through the application of minimum preservation requirements. Project Consistency with CCME Objective 6.1: In accordance with site preservation and native vegetation retention requirements established in CCME Policy 6.1.1 and LDC 3.05.07 B.1, the required preserve is to be 15% of the native vegetation prior to clearing, not including easement area *Response to Objective 6 & Policy 6.1- Wetland and surface waters will abide by state and federal guidelines in reference to the development of 5767 Collier Blvd Naples Florida 34113. (3.68 ac. native vegetation prior to clearing x 15% = 0.55 ac. greserve required). OBJECTIVE 7.1: Direct incompatible land uses away from listed animal species and their habitats. *Response to Objective 7.1- There have been no documented observations or records of these species within the property or its immediate vicinity, further indicating the unlikelihood of their presence. In conclusion, based on the habitat characteristics, geographical range, and ecological requirements of the listed species in the FNAI Biomatrix and Section 3.04.03, it is reasonable to conclude that none of these species are anticipated to be present on the subject property at 5767 Collier Blvd Naples Florida 34113, PID 00734160009. This assessment suggests that the proposed project is not expected to adversely affect threatened and endangered species in this area. Final consultation may be reviewed by FWS following our assessment. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 324 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Analysis Assessment After a thorough evaluation of the subject property at 5767 Collier Blvd Naples Florida 34113, PID 00734160009, the listed species as per the FNAI Biomatrix, and 3.04.03 - Requirements for Protected Plants, specifically the Rare and Less Rare plants, it is evident that none of the listed species are present or anticipated to be present on the property. The following factors contribute to this conclusion; Habitat Suitability: The property's habitat does not align with the requirements of the listed species indicated on the FNAI Biomatrix. For instance, species need open to forage and nest and not areas which are dense with exotic vegetation species. Ecological Significance: The property is within the known range or habitat of the Florida Panther or Eastern Indigo Snake, and the presence of these species is possible given the ecological characteristics of the property. Which is what the preserve on site will enhance. Absence of Suitable Features: The subject property lacks key features required by various species. For instance, woodpeckers, such as the Red -cockaded Woodpecker, rely on mature long -leaf pine trees for nesting, and these are not found on the property. Additionally, the absence of necessary conditions like wooded scrub habitats for certain species, such as the florida panther and black bear, further supports the conclusion that these species are not likely to be present. Geographical Range: Species like the Wood Stork, while present in the broader region, are not typically found in this specific location, as it has only minimal required aquatic and wetland habitats for these birds. No Known Observations: There have been no documented observations or records of these species within the property or its immediate vicinity(except black bear), further indicating the unlikelihood of their presence. In conclusion, based on the habitat characteristics, geographical range, and ecological requirements of the listed species in the FNAI Biomatrix and 3.04.03 - Requirements for Protected Plants, specifically the Rare and Less Rare plants, it is reasonable to conclude that none of these species are anticipated to be present on the subject property at 5767Collier Blvd Naples Florida 34113. This assessment suggests that the proposed project is not expected to adversely affect threatened and endangered species in this area. Final consultation may be reviewed by FWS following our assessment. *If any protected vegetation or species are found they will be relocated to preserve* *The preserve will be 15% of the property* *A listed species survey was conducted and a scope of CT1 showed inactivity, no other listed or protected species were identified on site. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 325 of 1180 PID 00734160009; Tmmer Listed Species Management Plan Assessment & Management Plan FLORIDA PANTHER Panther Assessment The following items (A-B) should be addressed prior to any site plans and before any development is commenced on the property.

The site is zoned "Acreage not zoned agricultural" and is currently undeveloped (Figures 1 & 2). Survey findings are mapped in Figure 3. The vacant property contains FLUCCS code areas 411e1, 422e3, 619e2, 625e1, 631e1, and 640e1. Additional photographs of any potential listed species are included in Exhibit 1. The site is located within the Consultation area for the Florida bonneted bat (Eumops floridanus- Endangered) and the Consultation area for the red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), as well as potentially providing habitat to additional state/federal listed species. Purpose 2.0 The following survey was conducted to determine whether federal/state listed species, or evidence thereof, are present within the subject property as requested by the client. The project site is located in the Matrix Unit 40899 of the Florida Natural Areas Inventory Biodiversity Matrix. Biology 3.0- The Florida bonneted bat (Eumops. loridanus—F.B.B) is federally listed as Endangered and is endemic to South Florida. Potential roost structures include tree cavities, caves, rock crevices, artificial structures including buildings, bridges, and bat houses constructed specifically to attract roosting bats (Draft Protocol for Florida Bonneted Bat Roosting Surveys- FWS, August 2014). The bat is approximately 6.5 inches in length with a wingspan of 20 inches and is the largest free -tailed bat species in Florida. Colony size is generally small, totaling several individuals. The FBB is known to reproduce during the fall and spring and may be capable of reproducing year-round. Page 337 of 1180 • The red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis- R.C. W.) is federally listed as Endangered and is found in mature pine -forests of the Southeastern United States, nesting and roosting exclusively in cavities excavated by the species within living pine trees. The bird is approximately 7 inches long, with a wingspan of about 15 inches, with a unique barred white and black back, with a black "cap" with white cheeks. Colony size may range from 1 or more cavities on 3 to 60 acres, with a foraging range averaging 125-200 acres. • The gopher tortoise (Gopherus Polyphemus) is listed as State Threatened and is the only tortoise in the Southeast and can easily be distinguished from Florida's only other fully terrestrial turtle, the box turtle (Terrapene carolina bauri) by its large size and rigid unhinged plastron. Adult gopher tortoises are large 9-15 in and are tan or brown above with a yellowish plastron. The juveniles can be yellowish and brightly patterned. Males have a concave plastron and longer tail than females. a.PA , �' '•yy�, y 3 Page 338 of 1180 The Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) is listed as federally endangered. The adults are tan in color and weigh between 50-160 lbs depending on sex and age. The vast majority of the current population is located within Collier County and the Everglades National Park. The diet of the Florida panther includes a variety of local mammals such as white tail deer, wild hogs, rabbits and raccoons. The burrowing owl is one of the smallest owls in Florida. It can reach a length of nine inches (22.9 centimeters) with a wingspan of 21 inches (53.3 centimeters). Burrowing owls have brown dorsal (back) feathers with patches of white spots, and a white underside with brown bar -shaped spots. The body color pattern helps them blend in with the vegetation in their habitat and avoid predation (Millsap 1996). They also have large yellow eyes and a white chin. • Florida has one of the densest concentrations of nesting bald eagles in the lower 48 states, with an estimated 1,500 nesting pairs. Concentrations of nesting territories are clustered around several significant lake, river, and coastal systems throughout the state. CI Page 339 of 1180 The Florida scrub jay is a blue and gray bird about the size of a blue jay. Scrub - jays have blue wings, head, and tail, and gray back and underparts, and a whitish forehead and neck. Unlike blue jays, this species does not have black markings or a crest. Scrub Jay habitat can be classified as: Type I — any upland plant community in which percent cover of the substrate by scrub oak species is 15 percent or more. Type II — any plant community, not meeting the definition of type I habitat, in which one or more scrub oak species is represented. Type III — any upland or seasonally dry wetland within 400 m (0.25 mi) of any area designated as Type I or II habitats.

As per the regulatory guidelines, the identified habitat does not contain any of the listed protected plant species requiring relocation or preservation. Should any protected plant species listed in Section 3.04.03 be observed within the designated development area prior to any construction or development activities, a comprehensive relocation plan will be implemented. These observed protected plant species will be promptly relocated to the designated on -site preserve area, adhering to the regulatory guidelines and ensuring the preservation and protection of these identified plant species. Based on the initial survey conducted, there were no observed protected plant species listed above or in FNAI Biomatrix 40899 on the subject site. It is our assessment that no further action should be required at this time. - Tropical Environmental Consultants - 3900 Mannix Drive #118 Naples, Florida 34114 239-455-6232 Page 341 of 1180 Methodology 4.0 On June loth, 2022 from approximately 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM biologists conducted straight line transects for ground inspection on the property ensuring 100 percent visual coverage of the site. Transects were spaced approximately 25' apart. Potential occurrences of listed species use were recorded, GPS coordinates obtained, locations flagged onsite, and further investigated. Both subject property as well as the area immediately adjacent to the property line was inspected. Photos were taken of any potential listed species evidence were taken and shown in Exhibit 1 along with the resulting professional assessment. Summary of Findings and Observations 5.0 A single cavity tree was observed and the cavity scoped during the site visit (CT1). The scoped cavity did not produce evidence of the Florida Bonneted Bat occupying the cavity as a potential roosting site. The property is located outside of the buffer surround the nearest known Eagle nest, according to the Audubon Eagle Watch Program database. Moving Forward: The scoping of CTI resulted in an initial assessment status of inactive for protected species. Future ERP permitting for proposed wetland impacts will address any additional Wildlife utilitime 0 Page 342 of 1180 Exhibit 1 Observed Occurrences Cavity Tree I (CTI) Page 343 of 1180 Observed FLUCCS Codes: 411e1 (0-25% exotics) - Pine Flatwoods These forests are quite common throughout much of Northern and Central Florida.

As Owner and Developer sell off tracts, the Managing Entity shall provide written notice to County that includes an acknowledgement of the commitments required by the PUD by the new owner and the new owner's agreement to comply with the Commitments through the Managing Entity, but the Managing Entity shall not be relieved of its responsibility under this Section. When the PUD is closed -out, then the Managing Entity is no longer responsible for the monitoring and fulfillment of PUD commitments. B. Issuance of a development permit by a county does not in any way create any rights on the part of the applicant to obtain a permit from a state or federal agency and does not create any liability on the part of the county for issuance of the permit if the applicant fails to obtain requisite approvals or fulfill the obligations imposed by a state or federal agency or undertakes actions that result in a violation of state or federal law. (Section 125.022, FS) C. All other applicable state or federal permits must be obtained before commencement of the development. 2. TRANSPORTATION: A. The maximum total daily trip generation for the PUD shall not exceed 20 two-way PM peak hour net trips based on the use codes and trip generation rates in the ITE Trip Generation Manual in effect at the time of application for SDP/SDPA or subdivision plat approval. 3. LANDSCAPING: A. The PUD shall provide landscape buffering as provided on the master plan in accordance with the Land Development Code. B. Preserves may be used to satisfy the landscape buffer requirements after exotic vegetation removal in accordance with LDC sections 4.06.02 and 4.06.05.E.1.

The purpose of this Conditional Use (CU) request is to expand the excavation area previously approved by Resolution 2010-224 (see Attachment B). The prior approval allowed for 589.3 acres to be excavated, and this request is to expand excavation to the northeast direction by an additional 91 acres in areas previously approved as preserve land and wildlife corridor, for a total excavation area of 680.3 acres. The site is zoned Rural Agricultural with Mobile Home Overlay and Rural Land Stewardship Area Overlay (A-MHO-RLSAO). "Extraction or earthmining, and related processing and production" is listed as a Conditional Use in the Rural Agricultural zoning district per LDC Section 2.03.0I.A.1.c.1., and is an allowable Conditional Use per the baseline standards of the RLSAO per LDC Section 4.08.05. At the time that the original Conditional Use was approved in 2010, the life of the mine operation was estimated to be 35 years (through 2045), and ten conditions of approval applied to the project. Since the time of approval, planned improvements to State Road 82 are now underway by the Florida Department of Transportation. The current request recognizes this, includes modifications to prior conditions, and adds new conditions related to wildlife, blasting, and landscape buffers. See the Draft Resolution (Attachment A) for proposed Conditions of CU-PL20240012171, IMMOKALEE SAND MINE EXPANSION Page 2 of 10 December 23. 2025 Page 375 of 1180 Approval. The proposed phasing plan included with the Draft Resolution shows operations for an estimated 36 years, or through 2062. The existing driveway along State Road 82 will remain the sole access to the mine. An existing ingress/egress easement along the eastern property line (OR Book 804, Page 765) will continue to provide access from SR 82 to the residential property located beyond the northeast corner of the project.

See Attachment C for the FLUE Consistency Memo, which concludes the proposed Conditional Use may be deemed consistent with the FLUE of the GMP. Transportation Element: In evaluating this project, staff reviewed the applicants' June 9, 2025 Traffic Impact Statement for consistency with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan (GMP) using the 2024 Annual Update and Inventory Reports (AUIR). Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the GMP states; "The County Commission shall review all rezone petitions, SRA designation applications, conditional use petitions, and proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) affecting the overall countywide density or intensity ofpermissible development, with consideration of their impact on the overall County transportation system, and shall not approve any petition or application that would directly access a deficient roadway segment as identified in the current AUIR or if it impacts an adjacent roadway segment that is deficient as identified in the current AUIR, or which significantly impacts a roadway segment or adjacent roadway segment that is currently operating and/or is projected to operate below an adopted Level of Service Standard within the five year AUIR planning period, unless specific mitigating stipulations are also approved. A petition or application has significant impacts if the traffic impact statement reveals that any of the following occur: a. For links (roadway segments) directly accessed by the project where project traffic is equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; b. For links adjacent to links directly accessed by the project where project traffic is equal to or exceeds 2% of the adopted LOS standard service volume; and c. For all other links the project traffic is considered to be significant up to the point where it is equal to or exceeds 3% of the adopted LOS standard service volume. Mitigating stipulations shall be based upon a mitigation plan prepared by the applicant and submitted as part of the traffic impact statement that addresses the project's significant impacts on all roadways. " Staff findings: According to the TIS provided with this petition the proposed mining operation will generate a projected total of +/- 26 PM peak hour, 2-way trips on the adjacent roadway segments of State Road 82, which is the same number of trips currently generated by this operation. Therefore, there are no additional new trips proposed with this request. The trips generated by this development will occur on the following adjacent roadway link: Roadway/Link Link State Road Lee County Line to 82/88.0 State Rd 29 Project Peak Hour Peak Direction No Additional I 2024 AUIR Current Peak LOS Hour Peak Direction Volume/Peak Direction No Additional 800/SB lmnacts 2024 Remaining Capacity No Additional CU-PL20240012171, IMMOKALEE SAND MINE EXPANSION December 23. 2025 Page 5 of 10 Page 378 of 1180 Based on the TIS and the 2024 AUIR, the subject Conditional Use can be found consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan. The proposed operations do not result in additional new traffic impacts on the adjacent roadway network. All the projected trips generated by this use already exist on the road network and are part of the current AUIR trip counts and the 5-year planning period. Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME): Environmental review staff has found this project to be consistent with the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME). The project site is 896.7 acres and includes an existing mine operation, former citrus groves, row crops and cattle grazing uses. The subject property consists of 13.3 acres of native vegetation onsite. A minimum of 5.3 acres preservation is required; however, a 9.9-acre preserve has been provided and dedicated to Collier County. Transportation Review: Transportation Planning staff has reviewed the petition for compliance with the GMP and the LDC and recommends approval. Stormwater Review: The proposed conditional use expansion request is not anticipated to create drainage problems or adverse stormwater management impacts to surrounding properties. The site mining operations are currently covered by an Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Environmental Resource Permit (ERP), Cemex Immokalee Sand Mine # 0297420-010, however any proposed change in land use or future changes to site impervious coverage will require approval through the ERP process with the FDEP as well as the Collier County site development plan process to ensure consistency with the County's LDC. Additionally, the same Best Management Practices, Erosion Control Measures, and Pollution Prevention Plan associated with the current permitted operation will continue to be used for the proposed expansion. Landscape Review: The buffers labeled on the Conceptual Site Plan are consistent with the LDC and the companion Variance application (PL20240012172), which staff supports. Environmental Review: Environmental Services staff have reviewed the conditional use petition to address environmental concerns. The property is located with Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSAO). The minimum required preserve is 5.3 acres (40% of 13.3 acres). The applicant has provided 9.9 acres of preservation which has been recorded (Official Record Book 6069, Page 1960). The preservation area (9.9 acres) will meet all the standards established by LDC Section 3.07.05 H. Le. This mining expansion (91 acres) was left out of the original permit request to accommodate a potential Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) wildlife corridor that was under consideration. The FWC finalized the study of the area and concluded that the wildlife corridor be located to the north and west of the subject property. The proposed mining expansion will not impact the wildlife corridor. The environmental data indicates the proposed project is in an area that has the potential to contain a variety of protected animal species. Several alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) were observed onsite. Consultation with the FWC will be conducted to reduce and minimize any impact on the alligators. The property contains habitat commonly occupied by caracaras CU-PL20240012171, IMMOKALEE SAND MINE EXPANSION Page 6 of 10 December 23. 2025 Page 379 of 1180 (Caracara cheriway) however; no documented nest was found onsite. Consultation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and FWC regarding guidelines and permitting requirements may be required prior to construction. The Environmental Data indicates the subject property falls within USFWS Secondary Florida Panther (Felis concolor coryi) habitat. There were no observations of panthers onsite, and the telemetry data indicates Florida panthers are not abundant within the boundary of the proposed project. However, consultation with USFWS to obtain panther mitigation is likely. Panther Habitat Unit (PHU) credits are what will be needed to offset proposed impacts. Available FWC wildlife data indicates the presence of Black Bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) in the area. A black bear management plan will need to be included in PPL or SDP review. Additionally, the property contains potential habitat for Eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon corais couperi). Consultation with the USFWS and the FWC regarding guidelines and permitting requirements will be required before construction. Additionally, the subject property is located within core foraging ranges for three Wood stork (Mycteria americana) colonies. However, consultation with the USFWS for mitigation is unlikely since the wetland found onsite doesn't appear to contain wood stork high quality foraging habitat. Consultation with USFWS and FWC regarding guidelines and permitting requirements will be required prior to construction. Condition #8 included with the attached Draft Resolution provides that evidence of USFWS and FWC accepted mitigation for impacts to panthers, woodstorks, Florida black bear, and other listed species for the excavation expansion will be required prior to the pre -construction meeting with Staff, as applicable. Historic Preservation Review: Per County GIS, the subject site is not within historical/ archaeological probability areas. The applicant's submittal includes a Cultural Resource Assessment Survey dated March 2016 for the subject property, which concludes project development/mining of the property will have no impact on any significant cultural resources, including those properties listed, determined eligible, or considered potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. STAFF ANALYSIS: When considering a Conditional Use petition, the CCPC must make findings that: 1) approval of the Conditional Use will not adversely affect the public interest and will not adversely affect other property of uses in the same district of neighborhood; and 2) all specific requirements for the individual Conditional Use will be met; and 3) satisfactory provisions have been made concerning the following matters, where applicable: 1. Section 2.03.01.A.1.c.1, of the LDC permits conditional uses in the Rural Agricultural - Mobile Home Overlay -Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (A-MHO-RLSAO): The requested use for an earthmining facility is allowed as conditional uses in the Rural Agricultural -Mobile Home Overlay (A -MHO) and Rural Agricultural -Mobile Home Overlay -Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (A-MHO-RLSAO), subject to the standards and procedures established in section 10.08.00, conditional uses procedures, of the LDC. CU-PL20240012171, IMMOKALEE SAND MINE EXPANSION December 23. 2025 Page 7 of 10 Page 380 of 1180 2. Consistency with the Land Development Code (LDC) and the Growth Management Plan (GMP). This request is consistent with the GMP and, with the conditions proposed by staff, this project will be in compliance with the applicable provisions of the LDC, with variances to the extent authorized as a result of the review and determination by the BZA for the companion variance (VA-PL20240012172). 3. Ingress and egress to the property and proposed structures thereon, with particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe. Ingress and egress for the mining operation will continue to be limited to the existing single access point on SR 82, and haul trucks are not permitted to park or stage along the SR 82 right-of-way per Condition #12 included in the attached Draft Resolution. The existing ingress/egress easement along the eastern property line (OR Book 804, Page 765) will continue to provide access from SR 82 to the residential property located beyond the northeast corner of the project. Based on the TIS provided by the applicant, the 2024 AUIR, the subject Conditional Use can be found consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan. All the projected trips generated by this use already exist on the road network and are part of the current AUIR trip counts and the 5-year planning period. Operational impacts will be addressed at time of first development order (SDP or Plat), at which time a new TIS will be required to demonstrate turning movements for all site access points. 4. The effect the Conditional Use would have on neighboring properties in relation to noise, glare, economic or odor effects. The surrounding uses are agricultural, with exception of a residential home located beyond the northeast corner of the site. The material processing plant is located at a distance from the one residential home. The dredge generates noise at start-up as mentioned during the Neighborhood Information Meeting (see the meeting summary on the following page). The petitioner indicates that the dredge is electric, and it operates below allowable noise levels per the Collier County Noise Ordinance. The petitioner indicates site lighting is installed at the processing plant/equipment area; no additional site lighting will be installed with the proposed expansion. The electric dredge has lights which are angled towards the water/bank and are at water level, which the petitioner indicates is below the perimeter berm level. Hours of operation are proposed to continue to be limited to 6:30 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Saturday for trucking, and 24 hours Monday through Sunday for excavation and processing, as set forth in Condition #7 included with the Draft Resolution. CU-PL20240012171, IMMOKALEE SAND MINE EXPANSION December 23. 2025 Page 8 of 10 Page 381 of 1180 Condition #11 in the Draft Resolution provides that a tire wash system is installed to wash dust from the wheels and underbody of all haul trucks exiting the facility. The petitioner reserves the right to have the ability to blast in the future. Condition #9 included with the Draft Resolution provides that the petitioner will file an Application for Blasting and the Use of Explosives in Collier County should blasting be requested, and the following conditions will apply: pre -blast inspections are to be conducted on structures within 1,500 feet of where blasting will occur; a twenty-four (24) hour notice shall be provided to residents within 1,500 feet of where blasting will occur; and all blasts are to be recorded by a seismograph. As conditioned, the excavation operation is not anticipated to have negative effects on neighboring properties in relation to noise, glare, economic impact or odor. Mining activities have been designed to provide significant setbacks from all property boundaries. The property is adjacent to undeveloped land and/or lands used for agricultural purposes along most boundaries. Excavation setbacks are at least 50 feet from all right-of-way lines/easements and property lines, and 100 feet from residential property. The setbacks and proposed vegetation and buffers will provide screening from neighboring properties. 5. Compatibility with adjacent properties and other property in the district. If the proposed Conditions of Approval are adopted, the proposed earthmining facility can be found compatible with adjacent properties and other properties in the immediate area. ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (EAC) REVIEW: This project does require the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) review, as this project does meet the EAC scope of land development project reviews as identified in Section 2-1193 of the Collier County Codes of Laws and Ordinances. Specifically, Section 2-1193(m)(4) a conditional use of a commercial mine requires EAC approval. Environmental Planning staff recommends approval. NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM): The petitioner conducted a duly noticed and advertised NIM on August 20, 2025 at Immokalee Community Park, located at 321 N 1 st Street in Immokalee. An option for remote attendance was also offered. The agent began the presentation at 5:30 p.m. Three members of the public attended. Audience members inquired about the buffering around the property, and the agent described that existing vegetation is proposed to remain in lieu of planting trees along the north property line, which is the Hendry County line. An audience member inquired about a sound like a bearing going out on the property, and a representative from Cemex answered that the sound is from the dredge starting up. An audience member referenced the access easement running across the property, and the Cemex representative answered that the road in the easement is not used for mining. Audience members asked about the timeframe for mining in the expansion CU-PL20240012171, IMMOKALEE SAND MINE EXPANSION Page 9 of 10 December 23. 2025 Page 382 of 1180 area, and the Cemex representative indicated the area wouldn't be impacted for 10 years, noting that mining areas would be fenced off from areas use for cows. See Attachment E for NIM Documentation. COUNTY ATTORNEY OFFICE REVIEW: The County Attorney's Office reviewed the staff report on December 23, 2025. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) recommend approval of Petition CU-PL20240012171, subject to the conditions of approval included with the Draft Resolution.

Excavation uses within the Immokalee Sand Mine facility shall be limited to that which is depicted on the six -page site plan set, identified as the "Conceptual Conditional Use Plans for Immokalee Sand Mine" dated May 2008, with revisions on May 14, 2009, prepared by RWA, Inc. The site plan noted is conceptual in nature for Conditional Use approval. The final design must be in compliance with all applicable federal, state and county laws and regulations; and 2. Land Development Services Director may approve minor changes in the location, siting, or height of buildings, structures, and improvements authorized by this conditional use as well as all applicable development standards; and 3. Expansion of uses identified and approved within this Conditional Use approval, or major changes to the approved plan, shall require the submittal of a new conditional use application in compliance with all applicable County ordinances in effect at the time of submittal, including Chapter 10,02.03, of the Collier County Land Development Code, Ordinance 04-41, as amended; and 4. Prior to any vehicular use of the site, the owner shall post two (2) signs along the entry drive, clearly visible to vehicles entering and leaving the site, providing information regarding potential panther presence and notifying drivers of the need to use caution. Sign wording, placement and size will be subject to review and approval by Collier County Environmental staff.

Hours of operation shall be limited to 6:30 am to 7:00 pm Monday thru Saturday for trucking, and 24 hours Monday through Sunday for excavation and processing; and 8. Transportation Conditions: Revised 1017110 EXHIBIT C Pagel of 3 Page 407 of 1180 CONDITIONS OFAPPROVAL Immokalee Sand Mine CU-2008 AR-I4078 a. LDC Section 6.06.02 addresses the construction of sidewalks adjacent to property frontage on county or state roads. Also, applicant (or owner) may be required to reserve, dedicate, or convey portions of the property adjoining the SR-82 right-of- way to FDOT in connection with the widening of SR-82. The following stipulations shall apply to address these related issues: (1) The owner(s), his successors in title, or assign agree to reserve thirty-five feet (35') of right-of-way along the Northerly side of SR-82 for approximately 1,190 feet along the property's frontage. The boundaries of this reservation shall coincide with the preferred alignment show in Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) current Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) Study. The owner(s), its successors or assigns, agree to cooperate with FDOT during the design process for SR-82, endeavoring to eliminate the need for the additional 35 feet by allowing conveyance of off -site stormwater run-off, which may be accomplished via dedication of an easement within this project, at no cost to the County or State, if needed. If the need for additional right-of-way cannot be reasonably eliminated (as determined by FDOT), then the owner(s), its successors or assigns, agree to dedicate up to 35 feet of right-of-way along the North side of SR-82 to the State of Florida at no cost. The applicant shall provide compensating right-of-way at no cost of up to twelve feet (12') width and up to 460 feet in length (including taper), for a westbound right -turn lane at the Project Entrance; and (2) The applicant's responsibility for construction of sidewalks (or providing payment in lieu) LDC Section 6.06.02 is limited to those portions of the property that are directly adjacent the SR 82 right-of-way when the project SDP/SIP is approved or when a certificate of occupancy for the first project building permit is issued, whichever occurs first. In the event portions of the property that are presently adjacent to SR 82 are hereafter reserved, dedicated, or conveyed to Collier County or the State of Florida in connection with the widening of SR-82 (including dedications, conveyances, or reservations for water management) — as described in Paragraph La., above, such reserved, dedicated, or conveyed portions of the property shall not be subject to the sidewalk construction obligation under LDC Section 6.06.02, and shall not be considered part of the SR 82 road right-of-way for purposes of calculating applicant's sidewalk obligations for the remaining portions of the property (i.e., the dedicated, conveyed, and reserved portions of the property shall not be deemed as "adjacent" right-of-way with respect to the balance of the property for purposes of calculating applicant's sidewalk obligations). Given that the actual right-of-way reservation and/or dedication needs for the widening of SR-82 are not known at this point, calculation of the payment in lieu option for sidewalks shall be deferred until SIP approval or prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the first building Revised 10/7/10 Exhibit C Page 2 of 3 Page 408 of 1180 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Immokalee Sand Mine CU-2008 AR-14078 permit, whichever comes first. The applicant shall also have the option of constructing a sidewalk or sidewalks at another location in Collier County as may be agreed to by Collier County Transportation staff, provided the cost of construction of said sidewalk or sidewalks is at least equal to the amount of the payment in lieu option for the Immokalee Sand Mine Conditional Use (as adjusted to account for any dedications, conveyances, or reservations of the property in connection with the SR-82 expansion); and b. During the life of the mine, the applicant shall reimburse the County annually the expense actually incurred by the County for maintaining roadway pavement for those segments of State Roads 82 and 29 within a two-mile radius of the project entrance. The purpose of this stipulation is to ensure that the County does not incur out-of-pocket pavement maintenance expenses associated with the use of said segments of State Roads 82 and 29 by applicant's haul trucks. Alternatively and in lieu of the foregoing, should the County adopt a maintenance fee that is uniformly applied to previously approved and pending mining projects to compensate for impacts to roadway pavement caused by mine truck traffic, applicant agrees that this project will be subject to such fee. In the event of a dispute regarding the amount of maintenance reimbursement expense claimed by or paid to the County, the parties shall first use the County's then -current Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedure before filing any action in any court. c. Applicant shall be fully responsible for designing, permitting, and constructing a westbound acceleration lane at the project entrance on SR 82 for vehicles leaving the project. The west -bound acceleration lane will be up to twelve feet (12') in width and up to one thousand, six hundred and seventy feet (1,670') in length (including taper) and otherwise comply with FDOT standards; and 9. A tire wash system will be installed to wash dust from the wheels and underbody of all haul trucks exiting the facility. This system will direct water under pressure at the wheels and the underside of each vehicle as it passes through; and 10. Haul trucks will not be permitted to park or stage along the SR 82 right-of-way. Applicant may allow haul trucks to stage or park on the project's internal roadway prior to 6:30 a.m. Revised 14/7/10 Exhibit C Page 3 of 3 Page 409 of 1180 YEAR 15 YEAR 10 YEAR 30+ II DqD i R.W.A., INC.

The subject property is in the A, Rural Agricultural zoning district and also within the Mobile Home Overlay (MHO). LOCATION: The subject property encompasses portions of Sections 6 and 7, Township 46 South, Range 29 East, and lies north of SR 82, approximately 1.2 miles west of its intersection with SR 29. COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING COMMENTS: The subject property is designated Agricultural/Rural (Agricultural/Rural Mixed Use District) and is within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) Overlay, all as identified on the Future Land Use Map of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). RLSA Policy 1.5, below, provides for Baseline Standards, and RLSA Policy 1.4 provides that property for which the owner chooses not to participate in the Stewardship Program will remain eligible for those Baseline Standards uses. RLSA Policy 1.5: As referred to in these Overlay policies, Baseline Standards are the permitted uses, density, intensity and other land development regulations assigned to land in the RLSA by the GMP, Collier County Land Development Regulations and Collier County Zoning Regulations in effect prior to the adoption of Interim Amendments and Interim Development Provisions referenced in Final Order AC-99-002. The Baseline Standards will remain in effect for all land not subject to the transfer or receipt of Stewardship Credits, except as provided for in Group 5 Policies. No part of the Stewardship Credit System shall be imposed upon a property owner without that owners consent. Relevant to this petition, The Agricultural/Rural Land Use Designation is for those areas that are remote from the existing development pattern, lack public facilities and services, are environmentally sensitive, or are in agricultural production. Urbanization is not promoted, therefore most allowable land uses are of low intensity in an effort to maintain and promote the rural character of these lands. The proposed earthmining and related processing is listed as an allowable use in this designation in the FLUE. Growth Management Community Development • Planning & Zoning 2800 North Horseshoe Drive • Naples, FL 34104 • 239-252-2400 • www.colliercountyll_gov/ Page 412 of 1180 The applicant has not elected to participate in the Stewardship Program for the subject property, thus is subject to the Baseline Standards. The Agricultural/Rural designation allows for earth mining activities. The Collier County Land Development Code lists earth mining as a permitted Conditional Use in the "A" zoning district. Even though the applicant has elected not to participate in the Stewardship Program, the applicant is still responsible for addressing RLSA Policy 5.5 and 5.6. Comprehensive Planning Staff defers to Environmental Review Staff to review for consistency with those policies. In reviewing Policies 5.6 and 7.1 - 7.4 (shown below) of the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) staff provides the following analysis in [bracketed bold text.] FLUE Policy 5.6 requires development to be compatible with, and complementary to, surrounding land uses, as set forth in the Land Development Code. Comprehensive Planning leaves these reviews for, and determinations for making further recommendations on, compatibility and complementary matters to the Zoning Services staff as part of their review of the petition in its entirety. Policy 7.1: The County shall encourage developers and property owners to connect their properties to fronting collector and arterial roads, except where no such connection can be made without violating intersection spacing requirements of the Land Development Code. [The subject property fronts on SR 82 a principal arterial roadway.] Policy 7.2: The County shall encourage internal accesses or loop roads in an effort to help reduce vehicle congestion on nearby collector and arterial roads and minimize the need for traffic signals. [The conceptual site plan shows an internal accessway designed to provide adequate vehicular circulation and movement. Given the site and the use proposed as an excavation of a single development project, no road has been proposed. Additionally, staff finds it unnecessary to provide a loop road due to the nature of the proposed use.] Policy 7.3: All new and existing developments shall be encouraged to connect their local streets and/or interconnection points with adjoining neighborhoods or other developments regardless of land use type. The interconnection of local streets between developments is also addressed in Policy 9.3 of the Transportation Element. [The applicant's "Narrative & Evaluation Criteria" states, "Interconnections with adjoining neighborhoods, or other developments, is not feasible due to the proposed use and adjacent zoning/land uses. Staff believes interconnections to adjacent land sites may not be appropriate or beneficial.] Policy 7.4: The County shall encourage new developments to provide walkable communities with a blend of densities, common open spaces, civic facilities and a range of housing prices and types. [This Policy addresses development characteristics mostly not applicable to the commercial excavation operation being proposed. The site will not be open to the public. Sidewalks/pathways will be provided only as necessary for employees within the site.] Based upon the above analysis, the proposed Conditional Use may be deemed consistent with the Future Land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan.

The project involves two (2) parcels, collectively consisting of 896.7 acres, located in Immokalee within portions of Sections 6 and 7, Township 46 South and Range 29 East, (the "property") and more specifically, at 3625 SR 82. Refer to the Location Map prepared by Peninsula Engineering. The Immokalee Sand Mine conditional use was approved in 2010 (Resolution 2010-224) and satisfies the requirements of LDC Section 10.08.00. The proposed ±91-acre expansion will continue to comply with provisions of the LDC and does not adversely affect the public, and satisfactory provisions and arrangements have been made for the following: • Consistency with the Land Development Code • Consistency with the Growth Management Plan • Ingress and egress to the property, with particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe. • Effects on neighboring properties in relation to noise, glare, economic or odor effects • Compatibility with adjacent properties The existing conditional use permits a ±589.3-acre excavation area on the subject site. This conditional use requests a ±91-acre expansion to the excavation area, for an overall mining area of±680.02 acres. Ingress and egress to the site exist from SR 82. All required roadway improvements, warranted by the project, have been completed. The requested expansion to the approved mine will not impact the existing traffic volume to the site. There is no transportation impacts associated with this conditional use application; please refer to the Traffic Waiver Memo. Zoning & Future Land Use: The property is within the Rural Agricultural Zoning District, Mobile Home Overlay, and Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (A-MHO-RLSAO). Refer to the Zoning and Future Land Use Maps, prepared by Peninsula Engineering. The site is adjacent to SR 82 along the south and is surrounded by agricultural zoning/agricultural activities.

Describe how the project is consistent with the Collier County Land Development Code and Growth Management Plan. Include information on how the request is consistent with the applicable section or portions of the Future Land Use Element. Response: The subject property is within the Rural Agricultural Zoning District, Mobile Home Overlay, and Rural Lands Stewardship Overlay and designated as Open Lands; refer to the Zoning and RLSAO Maps prepared by Peninsula Engineering. The site is developed with an existing mine, which is important in terms of consistency. This use is already occurring on the property. Per LDC Section 2.03.01.A.1.c.1, earthmining is a permitted conditional use within the Rural Agricultural Zoning District, and pursuant to LDC Section 4.08.05, Baseline Standards of the RLSAO are applied since the property is not an SSA or SRA. The request to expand the existing earthmining operation is consistent with the LDC. The County's Growth Management Plan does not limit what is allowed per the current zoning; therefore, the request is consistent with the Future Land Use Element of the GMP. The conceptual site plan and application materials identify all required elements fora conditional use, as required by the LDC and Growth Management Plan. Describe the existing or planned means of ingress and egress to the property and proposed structure thereon with particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe.

This existing access location will remain unchanged. Internal accessways have been designed to provide sufficient vehicular circulation and to also allow for sufficient stacking and staging of haul trucks on - site, which eliminates truck staging within the public right-of-way. c. Describe the effect the conditional use will have on neighboring properties in relation to noise, glare, economic impact, and odor. Response: The 91-acre expansion will have no negative impacts on neighboring properties related to noise, glare, economics, or odor. Proposed setbacks, the perimeter berm, landscape buffers, and existing vegetation will sufficiently screen the proposed development from neighboring properties and mitigate any potential impacts. Most adjacent lands are undeveloped and/or are being used for agricultural purposes, except for one single-family home along the northwest corner, which will be shielded by a 20' Type 'C' buffer. The processing plant is not being relocated with the proposed expansion, which is located roughly a mile from the existing single-family home. Only excavation activities will occur 24 hours a day within the expansion area if there is a demand in the market. The excavation activities include dredging with an electric dredge, which emits minimal noise and will operate well below the allowable noise levels per the Collier County Noise Ordinance. Site lighting is installed at the processing plant/equipment area; no additional site lighting will be installed with the proposed expansion. The electric dredge has lights which are angled towards the water/bank, and are at water level; therefore, below ground/below the perimeter berm. The dredge lights will have no negative impact on surrounding properties. A blasting analysis has been conducted by GeoSonics, and their report concludes that blasting activities with not have any detrimental effects on structures or wells of adjacent properties. Any proposed blasting will be in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Office of the Florida State Fire Marshall. This has been added as Condition #9 of the "Conditions of Approval" document. d. Describe the site's and the proposed use's compatibility with adjacent properties and other properties in the district. Response: The existing mining operation has been in operation since circa 2020 and has been designed to be compatible with surrounding properties. Most immediately surrounding lands are undeveloped and/or are being used for agricultural purposes, except for one single-family home along the northwest corner. Proposed setbacks, the perimeter berm, landscape buffers, and existing vegetation will sufficiently screen the proposed development from neighboring properties and mitigate any potential impacts. Earth mining will follow the hours of operation outlined in the Conditions of Approval. The site is also limited to a maximum total daily trip generation, also outlined in the Conditions of Approval. Earth mining has no negative impacts on agricultural uses.

Response: The existing mining operation has been in operation since circa 2020. The natural resources that are extracted are vital to the construction industry in a fast-growing area. Proximity to surrounding uses, setbacks, existing/proposed vegetation, and conditions of approval address compatibility with the surrounding area. FUTURE LAND USE POLICIES Policy 5.6 New developments shall be compatible with, and complementary to, the surrounding land uses, as set forth in the Land Development Code (Ordinance 04-41, adopted June 22, 2004 and effective October 18, 2004, as amended). Response: The proposed development will be compatible and complementary to surrounding land uses. The development will comply with design standards established for the Agricultural Zoning District. The subject property has historically been used for agricultural purposes. The proposed use is compatible with surrounding uses. Proposed mining activities have been strategically located to eliminate potential impacts on surrounding land uses and rights -of -way. Sufficient setbacks, existing native vegetation, proposed buffers, and conditions of approval address compatibility with adjacent uses. Policy 7.1 The County shall encourage developers and property owners to connect their properties to fronting collector and arterial roads, except where no such connection can be made without violating intersection spacing requirements of the Land Development Code. Response: The existing mining operation has one direct access connection to State Road 82 which will remain.

Response: The internal accessway has been designed to provide adequate vehicular circulation and movement. In addition, the site has been designed to allow for staging/stacking of haul trucks on -site to prevent congestion along SR 82. Policy 7.3 All new and existing developments shall be encouraged to connect their local streets and their interconnection points with adjoining neighborhoods or other developments regardless of land use type. Response: Interconnections with adjoining neighborhoods or other developments are not feasible due to the proposed use and adjacent zoning/land uses. Policy 7.4 The County shall encourage new developments to provide walkable communities with a blend of densities, common open spaces, civic facilities and a range of housing prices and types. Response: Not applicable. The request is for an expansion to an existing excavation mining operation.

These wetlands will be protected based upon the wetland functionality assessment described below, and the final permitting requirements of the South Florida Water Management District. a. The County shall apply the vegetation retention, open space and site preservation requirements specified within this Overlay to preserve an appropriate amount of native vegetation on site. Wetlands shall be preserved as part of this vegetation requirement according to the following criteria: The acreage requirements specified within this Overlay shall be met by preserving wetlands with the highest wetland functionality scores. Wetland functionality assessment scores shall be those described in paragraph (b) of this Policy. The vegetative preservation requirements imposed by Policies 5.3 and 5.5 shall first be met through preservation of wetlands having a functionality assessment score of 0.65 or a Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method score of 0.7, or greater. The County shall apply specific criteria in the LDC to be used to determine those instances in which wetlands with a WRAP functionality assessment score of 0.65 or a Uniform Wetland Mitigation Assessment Method score of 0.7, or greater must be preserved in excess of the preservation required by Policy 5.3. Response: Acknowledged. A conservation easement has been recorded over the site's required preserve area. The minimum preservation requirement has been exceeded on -site. Please refer to the Conceptual Site Plan and Environmental Supplement. Wetlands and contiguous upland buffers that are utilized by listed species or SSLC or serving as corridors for the movement of listed species or SSLC shall be preserved on site. Wetland flowway functions through the project shall be maintained. Response: Acknowledged. iii. Proposed development shall demonstrate that ground water table drawdowns or diversions will not adversely change the hydroperiod of preserved wetlands on or offsite.

The subject property is approximately 898 acres in size. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has jurisdiction over SR 82. Refer to Figure 1— Project Location Map and Appendix A: Project Master Site Plan. Figure 1— Project Location Map Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 14 Page 510 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 The project site is a sand mine. A Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) dated September 3, 2015, was prepared for the Immokalee Sand Mine SDP. The SDP was reviewed and approved for permit issuance by Collier County on February 14, 2019. This CUR does not propose any changes to the operations that would impact the trip generation of the facility detailed in the September 3, 2015, TIS. This CUR proposes to expand the excavation area into (and eliminating) the wildlife corridor and former FDEP preserve area to the north and east. If the CUR is approved, the mine will be operational for approximately 36 years. The development program is illustrated in the Table 1. Table 1 Development Program ITE Land Use Planning Horizon Code P A&L N/A* 898 Acres 2030 Note(s): *N/A = Not Available. Trip generation determination is based on a comparable sand mine. The project's access connection to the surrounding roadway network is a full access connection onto SR 82. A methodology meeting was held with the Collier County Transportation Planning staff on May 23, 2025, via email (ref. Appendix B: Initial Meeting Checklist (Methodology Meeting)). Trip Generation As identified in the September 3, 2015, TIS, the Source of Trip Generation Rates is Cemex Time -in -Plant data sheets for a comparable sand mine, as approved for the Immokalee Sand Mine Conditional Use Traffic Study (revised May 27, 2009) and 2nd Sufficiency Response (October 15, 2009). No reductions for internal capture or pass -by trips have been considered in this TIS. A summary of the project trip generation calculations for the approved SDP and the proposed CUR is illustrated in Table 2, below. Detailed calculations can be found in Appendix C — Trip Generation Calculations. Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 15 Page 511 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 Table 2 Proposed Project Trip Generation — Average Weekday 1283 64 64 1283 64 64 0 0 0 Total Enter Exit Total 102_. 128 72 72 144 13 13 26 128 72 72 144 13 13 26 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 In agreement with the Collier County TIS guidelines, significantly impacted roadways are identified based on the proposed project highest peak hour trip generation (net new total trips) and consistent with the peak hour of the adjacent street traffic. Based on the information contained in Collier County 2024 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR), the peak hour for the adjacent roadway network is PM peak hour and the peak direction for SR 82 is southbound. Trip Distribution and Assignment The traffic generated by the proposed project is assigned to the adjacent roadways using the knowledge of the area and engineering judgement. The site -generated trip distribution is shown in Table 3 and it is graphically depicted in Figure 2 — Project Distribution by Percentage and by PM Peak Hour. Table 3 Proposed CUR —Traffic Distribution for PM Peak Hour ' Enter Exit 88.0 Lee County Line to 65% SB — 0 NB-0 Project 88.0 Project to SR 29 35% NB-0 SB — 0 Note(s): *Peak hour, peak direction traffic volumes are underlined and bold to be used in Roadway Link Level of Service calculations. Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 16 Page 512 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 Figure 2 — Project Distribution by Percentage and by PM Peak Hour Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 17 Page 513 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 Background Traffic Average background traffic growth rates are estimated for the segments of the roadway network in the study area using the Collier County Transportation Planning Staff guidance of a minimum 2% growth rate, or the historical growth rate from peak hour peak direction volume (estimated from 2008 through 2024), whichever is greater. Another way to derive the background traffic is to use the 2024 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) volume plus the trip bank volume. The higher of the two determinations is to be used in the Roadway Link Level of Service analysis. Table 4, Background Traffic without Project illustrates the application of projected growth rates to generate the projected background (without project) peak hour peak direction traffic volume for the planning horizon year 2030. Table 4 Background Traffic without Project (2024 - 2030) ® 88.0 Lee County Line 890 2.0% 1.1262 1,002 67 957 to Project 88.0 Project to SR 29 890 2.0% 1.1262 1,002 67 957 Note(s): *Annual Growth Rate — based on peak hour, peak direction volume (from 2008 through 2024), or 2% minimum. **Growth Factor = (1 + Annual Growth Rate )6. 2030 Projected Volume = 2024 AUIR Volume x Growth Factor. ***2030 Projected Volume = 2024 AUIR Volume +Trip Bank. The projected 2030 Peak Hour — Peak Direction Background Traffic is the greater of the Growth Factor or Trip Bank calculation, which is underlined and bold as applicable. Existing and Future Roadway Network The existing roadway conditions are extracted from the Collier County 2024 AUIR, and the project roadway conditions are based on the FDOT Work Program. Roadway improvements that are currently under construction or are scheduled to be constructed within the five-year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) or Capital Improvement program (CIP) are considered to be committed improvements. SR 82 was expanded as a four -lane divided roadway a few years ago. As such, the evaluated roadways have committed improvements. The existing and future roadway conditions are illustrated in Table 5, Existing and Future Roadway Conditions. Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 18 Page 514 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 Table 5 Existing and Future Roadway Conditions Note(s): 2U = 2-lane undivided roadway; 4D, 6D, 8D = 4-lane, 6-lane, 8-lane divided roadway, respectively; LOS = Level of Service. Project Impacts to Area Roadway Network -Link Analysis The Collier County Transportation Planning Services developed Level of Service (LOS) volumes for the roadway links impacted by the project, which are evaluated to determine the project impacts to the area roadway network in the future horizon year 2030. The Collier County Transportation Planning Services guidelines have determined that a project will be considered to have a significant and adverse impact if both the percentage volume capacity exceeds 2% of the capacity for the link directly accessed by the project and for the link adjacent to the link directly accessed by the project; 3% for other subsequent links and if the roadway is projected to operate below the adopted LOS standard. Based on these criteria, this project does not create any significant impacts to the area roadway network. The analyzed link is not projected to exceed the adopted LOS standard with or without the project at 2030 build -out conditions. Table 6, Roadway Link Level of Service illustrates the LOS traffic impacts of the project to the area roadway network. The analyzed roadway segment is not located within the Collier County's Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA). In addition, the proposed development is not situated within the County's designated Transportation Concurrency Management Area (TCMA). The TCEA's and TCMA's designations are provided in Policy 5.4 and 5.6 of the Transportation Element — Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP). Table 6 Roadway Link Level of Service (LOS) — With Project in the Year 2030 Note(s): *Refer to Table 3 from this report. **2030 Projected Volume = 2030 background (refer to Table 4) + Project Volume added. Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 19 Page 515 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 As illustrated in Collier County LDC Chapter 6.02.02 — M. 2, once traffic from a development has been shown to be less than significant on any segment using Collier County TIS significance criterion, the development's impacts are not required to be analyzed further on any additional segments. Site Access Turn Lane Analysis Access to the project site is as follows: one full access opening from SR 82. The SR 82 Right -of -Way improvements are based on the existing complete conditions. SR 82 is a 4-lane divided other principal arterial under FDOT jurisdiction and has a posted legal speed of 60 mph and design speed of 65 mph in the vicinity of the project. Based on FDOT FDM Exhibit 212-1 (01/01/2025), for a design speed of 65 mph, the minimum turn lane length is 460 feet (which includes a 50-foot taper) plus required queue. For the left turn lane, it has a length of 660 feet including a 50-foot taper. Based on the mid -morning (peak hour of generator) traffic volume making the left turn, a queue length of 90 feet is required for a total turn lane length of 550 feet, which is less than the planned 660 feet. Refer to Table 7: Turn Lane Queue Lengths. For the right turn lane, it has a length of 460 feet including a 50-foot taper. Because the right turn is free flowing, no storage is required. The planned 460 feet for the right turn lane is adequate. Refer to Table 7: Turn Lane Queue Lengths. Table 7 Turn Lane Queue Lengths Note(s): Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) Factor = 1.5. The right turn is free flowing so no storage is required. Improvement Analysis Based on the results illustrated within this traffic analysis, the proposed project is not a significant and adverse traffic generator for the roadway network at this location. For recently improved 4-lane divided SR 82, there is adequate and sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate the proposed development generated trips without adversely affecting adjacent roadway network level of service. Based upon the results of the turn lane analysis, the existing Left and right turn lane improvements on SR 82 are adequate to support the project. The maximum total daily trip generation for the CU-CUR shall not exceed 26 two-way PM peak hour net trips based on the trip generation rates in effect at the time of application for SDP/SDPA approval.

INTRODUCTION Immokalee Sand LLC seeks to amend the mining footprint of an existing sand mine with associated sorting and processing facilities just north and west of the town of Immokalee. The mine project is referred to as the Immokalee Sand Mine (Mine) and encompasses approximately 896.70 acres situated in portions of Sections 6 and 7, Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Collier County, Florida. The Sand Mine is located immediately north of State Road 82 and about 1 mile west of the intersection of State Road 29 and State Road 82. A general location map is provided as Figure 1. The original permitting showed the project area as 897.9 acres, but subsequent survey revisions have amended the overall acreage to 896.7 acres. The project is located on existing agricultural lands. Citrus groves originally composed approximately half of the property while row crop and pasture comprised the other half. The citrus trees on the property were removed in 2013 and the land not currently being mined is maintained as cattle pasture through periodic mowing. Citrus, row crop, and cattle grazing operations surround the property for several miles in all directions. Another sand mine is located approximately 1.5 miles to the south of this project. The proposed expansion to the Mine project will add approximately 109.6 acres to the currently permitted footprint. This expansion area had been left out of the original permitting to allow for a potential wildlife corridor that was under consideration. The wildlife corridor was eventually located further north and west of the project site, so the proposed expansion area is no longer needed for any wildlife corridor. Approximately 6.6 acres of the expansion area are isolated man made wetland. Mitigation for these wetland impacts will be via purchase of mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank. This report frequently refers to lands within the Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary as the "Mine property" or "Mine site" while lands within the boundaries of the on -site preserve area are referred to as the "conservation area" or "preservation area". Taken together, the lands contained within the Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary are typically referred to herein as the "project lands". The preserve area associated with the project was established during the original permitting for the project. Appendix D outlines the enhancement and protection activities proposed within the on -site preserve area that were established during this earlier permitting. No additional preserve lands are proposed or required in association with this expansion. The preserve management plan also outlines the monitoring efforts that will be done to track and document the success of the enhancement efforts. It should be noted though that this area is not being used as mitigation for the proposed impacts. Impacts will be mitigated for by purchase of credits from an approved mitigation bank. This document provides information concerning the proposed Immokalee Sand Mine expansion project as it relates to natural resources and environmental issues. It was written to support applications submitted Collier County for a Conditional Use zoning determination and to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) seeking a modification to the current Environmental Resource Permit (Permit No. MMR-0297420-009) that has been issued for the project.

The description below lists each of the existing major land use categories and their extent as mapped on the Mine property while Appendix B contains a table listing all the unique FLUCFCS map units present on the Mine property and their extent. Of the total 896.70 acres contained within the mine property boundary, 95.8% classify as uplands (858.8 ac.), 2.6% classify as other surface waters (23.6 ac.; ponds and drainage ditches), and 1.6% classify as wetlands (14.3 ac.). The majority of the property (46%) consists of cattle pasture that is currently maintained by mowing while another 40% is currently dedicated to the mining operations. 2.2 NATIVE HABITAT Of the total 896.70 acres contained within the mine property boundary, The breakdown of habitats at the time of the original approval was; 94.7% classified as uplands (849.6 ac.), 3.6% classified as other surface waters (32.7 ac.; ponds and drainage ditches), and 1.7% classified as wetlands (15.6 ac.). The majority of the property (55%) consisted of citrus grove while another 31 % was actively farmed row crop fields. These acreages have been amended with the current application due to the mining activities that are currently underway. For the purpose of establishing the required native preserve, the original acreages are utilized. There were a total of 13.3 acres of habitats (i.e. vegetation associations or FLUCFCS categories) on the Mine property that were classified as native vegetation when the project was originally approved. The proposed project expansion will impact some (approximately 44%) of the existing native vegetation areas on the Mine property. The wetland areas that will be impacted are shown in Figure 6 while Appendix A Table 5 provides a listing of the total extent of the proposed impacts to the wetlands. The original project included establishment of a single on -site preserve (the "Preserve" or "native vegetation preserve") in the southwest corner of the site. This preserve contains a total of approximately 9.9 acres and was identified as the location where existing on -site native vegetation will be preserved. The Preserve is shown in Figures 5 and 6. Figure 7 illustrates the existing native vegetation habitats (FLUCFCS mapping units) that will be preserved on the Mine property within the native vegetation preserve. Table 6 lists the existing habitat types, for both native and non-native vegetation, contained within the boundaries of the proposed Preserve along with the total extent of each preserved habitat (FLUCFCS) type. Native vegetation preservation requirements applicable to the Mine property are addressed in Policy 6.1.3 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) of the County's Growth Management Plan (GMP) and in Policy 5.5.2.a.iii of Section D, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay or RLSA, of the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the GMP. These requirements are echoed in Section 4.08.05.J.2 of the County's Land Development Code (LDC), which indicates that if listed species are observed on the project site then a minimum of 40% of the native vegetation on site must be retained. The proposed on -site Preserve will preserve and protect a total of 7.4 acres of the existing vegetation present on the Mine property. This equates to preservation of 56 % of the total existing native vegetation on -site. The on -site Preserve has been protected by placing it into a conservation easement pursuant to Page 4 of 36 Page 536 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 LDC 3.05.07.H.1.d (i.e. in a conservation easement dedicated to the County). Both Category 1 and 2 invasive exotics identified in the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's (EPPC) "List of Invasive Species" will be eradicated and controlled throughout the Preserve, in accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.g.ii. Following completion of the initial exotic eradication efforts, shrubs, and ground cover species as appropriate to the wetland and upland prairie habitat will be planted as necessary within the Preserve areas that do not presently constitute native vegetation habitats to restore these areas to native. Supplemental plantings will be conducted in general accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.f. Through the restoration of current non- native vegetation areas, the entire 9.9-acre Preserve will be comprised of native vegetation associations. The post-restoration/enhancement communities are anticipated to be a mixture of FLUCFCS 310 (dry prairie) and FLUCFCS 643 (wetland prairie). A review of historic aerial photographs for the region indicated that by 1973, agricultural clearing and development had encompassed the entire area currently under consideration. Sometime after 1973, the row crop field area previously occupying the western half of the site was converted to citrus trees. The original approvals for the site identified a 25.9 acre area in the northeast corner of the property for preservation in conjunction with a potential wildlife corridor along the northern property boundary. Since the actual wildlife corridor accepted by FWC is located further north and west of the project site, the mine is proposed to be expanded into the area no longer required for the corridor. As a result, the proposed County preserve and native habitat retention has been located in the south west corner of the site contiguous to wetlands and a small native habitat area on the adjacent property to the west. 2.3 EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY & DRAINAGE PATTERNS Figure 3 illustrates the pre -mining topography and general surface water drainage patterns. The majority of the mine property consists of actively managed agricultural operations. The pasture areas are graded to drain into internal field ditches and/or into perimeter rim ditches surrounding groups of fields. The larger fields are bordered by large perimeter containment berms. Because of these perimeter berms, no runoff naturally drains from the property. All water from the site is diverted through the perimeter ditches to the eastern side of the property where it outfalls into another pump controlled ditch. When these pumps are operating, water is thrown off site to the east where it enters another ditch and eventually spreads out into more natural sheet flow conditions. The water table (water levels) within the crop fields is strictly managed and controlled. Wells with in -pumps in conjunction with throwout pumps at various locations (see Figure 3) are the primary means of regulating water levels within the fields. There are no significant off -site flows entering the site since the entire proposed excavation site is largely isolated from off site flows by the existing farming berms and associated agricultural operations. The site is surrounded by agricultural lands in active production which are also managed by similar agricultural water management systems. 2.4 WETLANDS AND OTHER SURFACE WATERS Qualified Turrell, Hall & Associates, Inc. environmental staff inspected the project lands for the purpose of delineating wetlands and other surface waters. The wetland delineation Page 5 of 36 Page 537 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 methodologies and criteria set forth by the state (in Chapter 62-340, FAC, Delineation of the Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual) were followed in determining whether an area classified as a wetland or other surface water and in delineating the limits (boundaries) of potential jurisdictional wetlands and other surface waters. Turrell, Hall & Associates ecologists flagged the boundaries of those areas which classified as wetlands according to state and federal guidelines. There were very few cases where it appeared wetland lines established based on the state methodology would differ from those established based on the federal (USACE) methodology. Where this did occur, the feature boundary was flagged based on the landward -most extent of the two methods - in other words, the methodology that produced the greatest extent of wetlands was used to flag the wetland line (the "safe uplands line" approach). The wetland boundaries flagged (marked) by staff ecologists were subsequently survey -located. Figure 2 depicts wetlands present on the project lands and immediately adjacent areas. Within the Mine property there are 3 isolated wetlands that encompass a total of 14.3 acres or about 1.6% of the Mine property. These "on -site" wetlands are identified as hatched areas on Figure 2.. Table 3 of Appendix A provides a listing of the various existing FLUCFCS types mapped in the on -site wetlands as depicted in Figure 2. Refer to Appendix B for a description of the various FLUCFCS categories. The following paragraphs provide a general description of each of the three on -site wetlands. Wetland 643 (7.7 acres; in southwest corner of mine property) This wetland is located in the southwest corner of the property. The wetland is adjacent to wetland areas to the west and small areas within the road right-of-way. Overall, this wetland and the adjacent wetland areas are isolated by the existing road and agricultural operations. Based on a review of historic aerial photos and field observations, it appears this has always been a depressional wetland area. Wetland 643 is primarily a wet prairie not dominated by any single vegetation but instead composed of a wide mixture of ruderal and grassy vegetation including dog fennel, beak rush, maidencane, soft rush, flat sedges, primrose willow, red root, crinum lily, and several other mixed species. Exotic species such as para grass and torpedo grass are also present. Active mowing has kept woody types of vegetation out of this area. It appears to have been used for staging and storage activities in the past. Approximately 6 to 8 inches of standing water can be present for short periods when the area water table is allowed to remain high. This area has been identified and set aside as preserve area to meet local (Collier County) preservation requirements. It is not being used as mitigation for any wetland impacts. Wetland 618 (5.6 acres; in east central portion of the property) This wetland is completely surrounded and isolated by agricultural berms, disturbed lands, and drainage ditches. Indications are that the central portion of the wetland, an area dominated by willows, was historically a wetland but that the surrounding portions to the north and east were once uplands. Today, these outer portions of the wetland consist of areas of dense Brazilian pepper, and a scrub/shrub community composed of various shrubby species such as primrose willows and Brazilian pepper. The entire wetland can be inundated for significant periods when the water table in the surrounding fields is allowed to remain high. This wetland is being proposed to be impacted under the current expansion modification request. Page 6 of 36 Page 538 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 Wetland 640 (1.0 acre; in the northeastern portion of the property) This small wetland is entirely man-made. It was created from historic upland areas when the area was used as cattle pasture. The depressional areas appear to have originally been dug as watering holes that were later incorporated into the water retention area for the fields. The wetland hydroperiods are completely dictated by the active manipulation of water levels in the adjacent drainage ditches and pasture fields. This area will be impacted under the current expansion request. 2.4.1 WETLAND SEASONAL HIGH WATER TABLE AND HYDROPERIOD Ecologists attempted to estimate the existing seasonal high water table (SHWT) elevation in each of the wetlands on the Mine property. Because of the historical and ongoing water level manipulation estimation of SHWT was difficult. The types of wetlands present and the heavy hydrological manipulation associated with the agricultural operations resulted in few reliable indicators that could be used. The physical and biological indicators used in the determination included water stains, drift lines, tussocks, adventitious rooting, buttressed tree trunks, lichen lines, etc. The estimated SHWT elevations appear to be split between the northeastern portion of the property and the majority (remainder) of the site. Wetland 643 SHWT appeared to be about 36.0 to 36.5 feet NGVD (34.8 to 35.3 NAVD) while wetlands 618, and 640 appear to have a SHWT ranging from 34 feet to 35 feet NGVD (32.8 to 33.8 NAVD). Former historic SHWT elevations were essentially impossible to gage in the wetlands present on project lands. The hydroperiods in these wetlands have been altered by farming activities for so long that signs of the historic high water levels have vanished or are so faint and/or variable that they could not be estimated with sufficient certainty. One must remember that the existing SHWT elevations determined for wetlands on the Mine property do not necessarily reflect a "natural' hydroperiod. The water levels in these wetlands are governed by how the area water table is regulated in the surrounding agricultural fields. Using off -site wetlands to judge historical water levels will not work for this property because all of the surrounding lands have been exposed to the same types of hydrological manipulations as have occurred on this property. 2.4.2 OTHER SURFACE WATERS All the other surface waters (OSWs) on the Mine property are man-made agricultural drainage ditches and ponds that are an active part of the current agricultural surface water management system. Characteristics of these ditches are highly variable. Some are largely devoid of vegetation while others have patchy cover by native and exotic herbaceous species along side slopes and ditch bottoms. Nuisance, exotic, and native woody species can also be present. Maintenance excavation is performed in these ditches and ponds as is occasional applications of herbicides, thereby altering vegetative cover following such events. Although "separate" ditches are mapped on the Mine property, most are hydraulically connected to one or more other ditch segments via pipes. There are also two on -site OSW ponds that have been mapped. One of these (SW-3) has a direct hydrologic connection to the on -site ditches. This pond has limited shoreline vegetation, mostly consisting of Brazilian pepper and other exotic species. The small pond in the north east portion of the site (SW-2) appears to be the by-product of past agricultural pumping activities and was also used as a cattle watering hole. This pond is very shallow and will dry down to the point that wetland marsh vegetation frequently fills in the pond when water levels are low. Page 7 of 36 Page 539 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 2.4.3 JURISDICTIONAL STATUS OF WETLANDS AND OTHER SURFACE WATERS All of the wetlands and OSWs (drainage ditches and ponds) now present on the project lands were assumed to be FDEP jurisdictional. Wetland areas 640 is an isolated wetland surrounded by upland crop fields and berms, and there are no ditches bordering or in close proximity to this wetland that has any hydrologic connection with off -site wetlands or navigable Waters of the United States. This on -site wetland was assumed to not be USACE jurisdictional because of these factors. Wetland 643 has a direct connection to off -site wetlands but the total wetland area (on - site and off -site) is isolated by agricultural activities and the road right-of-way. Due to the lack of connectivity, this wetland was also assumed to not be USACE jurisdictional. Wetland 618 is a natural wetland connected to a small pond and also immediately adjacent to a ditch that has a direct connection to off -site ditches. This wetland (618) was judged to be USACE jurisdictional. 2.5 LISTED PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES A thorough survey for listed animal and plant species was originally conducted on the project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates biologists in 2008. Subsequent survey efforts have been conducted in 2012, 2019, 2020, and 2024. This listed species survey and its results are discussed in Appendix B. The listed animal species observed on project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates included American alligator, wood stork, snowy egret, tricolored heron, white ibis, sandhill crane, and crested caracara. A caracara nest was assumed to be located on the property in 2016 as a result of surveys done in conjunction with the SR 82 road widening. No caracara nesting has been observed in subsequent monitoring during nesting seasons. A sandhill crane nest was observed in SW-2 during the 2020 survey efforts. No other nesting or denning of listed species has been observed on the project site. No listed plant species were found on the project lands. Subsequent to the original field surveys in 2008, nesting surveys of the Mine property for crested caracaras and their nests have been conducted during the 2017-2018, 2019-2020, and is ongoing in the current 2024/25 nesting seasons. No caracara nests were located though caracaras were observed foraging on the Mine property. The methodology and results of this survey are also discussed in Appendix B. A few listed animal species, in addition to those documented on the project lands, have the potential to occurring in certain habitats present on project lands. These species are further discussed in Appendix B and include; indigo snake, gopher tortoise, gopher frog, roseate spoonbill, limpkin, burrowing owl, listed wading birds, peregrine falcon, Southeastern American kestrel, bald eagle, and Florida panther. The probability of these animals utilizing suitable habitats in project lands ranges from high to low depending upon the particular species (see discussion in Appendix B). It is improbable that any of these species currently reside or nest on the project lands. It is highly unlikely that any listed plant species could be present on the project lands. 2.6 HISTORICAii/ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES During the initial permitting for this site, a letter was submitted to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (DHR) requesting DHR to examine the Florida Master Site File for any previously recorded archaeological/historical resources documented on the project lands. DHR responded in a letter dated 9/25/08 that the Florida Master Site File listed no previously recorded cultural resources on the subject property. A Cultural Resources Survey of the site was conducted in 2016 which did not find any evidence of cultural or archaeological resources on the property. A copy of the Survey is provided as Appendix E. Page 8 of 36 Page 540 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 The Collier County Long Range Planning Department's "Index Map of Historical/Archaeological Probability of Collier County, Florida", published on 5/5/01 was also reviewed. These maps did not show any historic structures, archaeological sites, or historic districts on the project lands. Based on a review of historic aerial photos, this area has existed as actively maintained agricultural lands for at least the past 40 years or more. Given the above, it does not appear that development of the Immokalee Sand Mine property will impact any historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places or otherwise of historical, architectural, or archaeological value. If a suspected archaeological or historical artifact is discovered during the course of site development activities (construction, mining, clearing, etc.), the development activities at the specific site will be immediately halted and the appropriate agency notified. Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to enable the County or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action. 2.7 SOILS Based on the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) "Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida" (NRCS, 1998) there are 7 different soil types (soil map units) present on the project lands. Figure 4 provides a soils map for the project area as derived from the NRCS mapping. The following sub -sections provide a brief description of each soil map unit identified on the project lands. Information is provided about the soil's landscape position (i.e. its typical location in the landscape on a county -wide basis), the soil's profile (i.e. textural composition and thickness or depth range of the layers or horizons commonly present in the soil), and the soil's drainage and hydrologic characteristics. In addition, the hydrologic soil group is also identified for each soil. There are 4 groups that are used to estimate runoff from precipitation. Soils are grouped according to the rate of infiltration of water when the soils are thoroughly wet and are subject to precipitation from long -duration storms. The four groups range from A (soils with a high infiltration rate, low runoff potential, and a high rate of water transmission) to D (soils having a slow infiltration rate and very slow rate of water transmission). The soils occurring on project lands are as follows: Immokalee fine sand (Map Unit #7) Landscape position - Flatwoods. Soil profile - Surface layer is black fine sand about 6 inches thick. The subsurface is light gray fine sand to a depth of 35 inches. The subsoil is fine sand varying from reddish brown to dark brown and down to about 58 inches. Substratum is a pale brown fine sand to a depth of about 80 inches. Drainage/Hydrologic characteristics - Poorly drained. Permeability is moderate. The seasonal high water table (apparent) is at a depth of 6 to 18 inches for 1 to 6 months. Water table can recede to more than 40 inches during dry periods. Hydrologic group is B/D. Myakka fine sand (Map Unit #8) Landscape position - Flatwoods. Soil profile - Surface layer is dark gray fine sand and typically 7 inches thick. The subsurface is fine sand to a depth of 27 inches.

Below these layers the subsoil is fine sandy loam, sandy clay loam, or sandy loam. Limestone bedrock begins at a depth of 60 to 72 inches but may not begin within 80 inches of the surface in some pedons. Drainage/Hydrologic characteristics - Poorly drained. Permeability is slow or very slow. The seasonal high water table (apparent) is at a depth of 6 to 18 inches for 1 to 6 months. Hydrologic group is B/D. Basinger fine sand (Map Unit #17) Landscape position - Sloughs and poorly defined drainageways. Soil profile - All soil horizons present to a depth of 80 inches or more are comprised of fine sand. A weak spodic horizon occurs beginning at depths ranging from 12 to 38 inches. Drainage/Hydrologic characteristics - Poorly drained. Permeability is rapid. The seasonal high water table (apparent) is within 12 inches of the surface for 3 to 6 months. Shallow standing water is present for about 7 days following peak rainfall events during the wet season. Hydrologic group is B/D. This soil is classified as a hydric soil by the NRCS. Ft. Drum and Malabar, high, fine sands (Map Unit #20) Landscape position - On ridges along sloughs. Soil profile for Ft. Drum soil - The surface layer is typically a dark grayish brown fine sand about 5 inches thick. The subsoil is fine sand to a depth of about 20 inches. Soil profile for Malabar, high soil - The surface layer is typically dark gray fine sand about 2 inches thick. The subsurface layer is light brownish gray fine sand to a depth of about 15 inches. Drainage/Hydrologic characteristics - Poorly drained. Permeability is slow or very slow for Malabar soil and rapid for Ft. Drum soil. Under natural conditions, the seasonal high water table (apparent) is set at a depth of 6 to 18 inches for 1 to 6 months during most years. During the other months, the water table is below a depth of 18 inches, and it recedes to a depth of more than 40 inches during extended dry periods. Hydrologic group is C for Fort Drum soils and B/D for Malabar soils. Page 10 of 36 Page 542 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 Chobee, Winder, and Gator soils, depressional (Map Unit #22 Landscape position - Depressions and marshes. Soil profile for Chobee soil - Surface layer to a depth of 4 to 18 inches consists of black fine sandy loam. Subsurface layers to a depth of about 47 inches consist of sandy clay loam or fine sandy loam. The subsoil below these layers to a depth of 80 inches is dark greenish -gray and gray fine sandy loam. Soil profile for Winder soil - The surface layer to a depth of 3 to 6 inches is dark gray fine sand. The subsoil layers to a depth of 15 inches consist of light brownish gray fine sand. In the depth range of about 15 to 50 inches, subsoil layers consist of gray fine sandy loam transitioning to dark gray sandy clay loam. Below this to a depth of 80 inches is white fine sandy loam. Soil profile for Gator soil - The surface and subsurface layers to a depth of 16 to 51 inches consist of black muck. The subsoil horizons to a depth of 80 inches or more consist of dark gray, greenish gray and light gray fine sandy loam. Drainage/Hydrologic characteristics - Very poorly drained. Permeability is slow or very slow. Seasonal high water table (apparent) is up to 2 feet above the surface for 6 months or more typically. Hydrologic group is D. This map unit is classified as a hydric soil by the NRCS. Holopaw fine sand (Map Unit #27) Landscape position - Sloughs and poorly defined drainageways. Soil profile - Typically, the surface layer is dark gray fine sand about 5 inches thick. The subsurface layer is dark grayish brown fine sand to a depth of about 52 inches. The subsoil extends of a depth of about 62 inches and consists of fine sandy loam. Drainage/Hydrologic characteristics - Holopaw soils are very poorly drained. Permeability for Holopaw soils is moderate to moderately slow. The available water capacity is low. The seasonal high water table (apparent) is within a depth of 12 inches for 3 to 6 months during most years. During the other months, the water table is below a depth of 12 inches, and it recedes to a depth of more than 40 inches during extended dry periods. During periods of high rainfall, the soil is covered by shallow, slow moving water for about 7 days. Hydrologic group is B/D. Page 11 of 36 Page 543 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 3. PROPOSED CONDITIONS (POST -DEVELOPMENT) 3.1 PROPOSED PROJECT The Owners propose to expand the excavation footprint of the existing sand mine utilizing the related production and sorting facilities on the 896.7-acre Immokalee Sand Mine property, as illustrated in the conceptual site plan (see Figure 7). The area to be mined shown on Figure 6 is the "maximum excavation area". Mining will involve removal of any overburden using typical equipment such as bulldozers, front-end loaders, and dump trucks. Once the water table has been reached, other conventional excavation equipment such as draglines and excavators will be brought in to start the sand extraction. As the depth of the pit increases, a hydraulic dredge will be used. This hydraulic dredge will be used for the vast majority of the sand extraction activities. The total depth of excavation previously permitted by the FDEP is no more than 90 feet below the control elevation (-54.5 feet NAVD) or to the top of the confining layer, whichever is shallower. Any haul roads built within the mining area will utilize crushed limestone. The project will include the processing facilities proposed along the western side of the property where the excavated materials will be stockpiled and processed on - site. The majority of the sand mine will be excavated "in the wet" rather than dewatering an entire individual pit. However, some dewatering activities may initially be necessary in order to efficiently excavate down to the mine target sand deposit. This excavation will be done hydraulically in a single expanding cell and the water discharge will be recirculated into a perimeter ditch as it is dug. The vast majority of the mining will be accomplished by the utilization of the hydraulic dredge. The dredge allows for the material to be pumped to the central processing area where it can be sorted and graded. This also eliminates the need for all of the haul roads and on -site trucks and machinery that are common at rock quarries. The hydraulic dredge can be adjusted to reach differential depths and is the most efficient method of excavating deeper sand deposits. Limited blasting may be necessary as part of the mining operation. The soil borings indicate that the site does not contain a significant layer of rock. However, if small rock patches are encountered blasting may be necessary. Such blasting will occur only as needed and will be limited to no more than twice per week. The blasting will be conducted only in daylight hours. Depending on demand for the sand, the actual excavation (dredging) process may be conducted 24 hours per day. Modifications to this work schedule could result from discussions with FFWCC and FWS. The production schedule anticipates that between 10 and 15 acres will be mined per year, though this number will be greater initially then decrease as the sand is extracted at greater depths. Furthermore, market conditions and demand for sand will greatly affect the production schedule. The production schedule listed above is a maximum production schedule. The central portion of the mine property will contain various sorting and processing facilities and an initial tailings/drainage pond. This area will include the settling/tailings ponds, the plant for processing the excavated materials, and stockpiles of the processed product (graded sand). The processing plant will operate roughly 12 to 16 hours per day. The processing plant will use water pumped up as part of the dredging operations along with the sand to transport and wash the mined materials, assist in the sorting, and to remove undesirable fines (silts and clays). At the start of operations, a well may be needed to supply some water to the plant but this consumptive Page 12 of 36 Page 544 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 use will cease once the Mine pits are capable yielding a sufficient volume of water. Water in this pond can be recirculated to the processing plant as necessary. One well tapping the surficial aquifer will be constructed to supply the limited amount of water necessary to meet potable water needs. An on site septic system will be built to handle sanitary sewage generated. If necessary, a stormwater containment berm will be constructed around the outer perimeter of mining portions of the project (see Figure 6) so that the crest of this earthen berm will be high enough to contain all storm events up to and including the 25-year event. An additional two feet of freeboard will be designed into the containment berm system where needed. Thus, all runoff from the mining area will be contained on -site and will either percolate through the soil or flow into the pit. Once the mining has been completed, reclamation plans will include stormwater discharge to off -site wetlands via an outfall control structure on the eastern side of the lake only after the stormwater has received appropriate treatment and attenuation (i.e. treatment and attenuation that satisfies water quality and water quantity design standards specified in the SFWMD's Applicant's Handbook). It is important to understand that the existing cattle farming activities will continue during much of the total lifespan of the Mine project. Pasture fields will be retained in areas not being mined and will be gradually eliminated as the mining progresses across the property. The fields and agricultural drainage and irrigation ditches associated with these fields will be modified as necessary in advance of the mining to allow farming to continue in non -mined areas. The overall mining area will be reclaimed in accordance with reclamation requirements set forth in Chapter 62C-36, Florida Administrative Code (limestone reclamation requirements). Mine closure and reclamation will include removal of the processing plant. Reclamation of the overall Mine property will be completed following completion of all the mining operations. This will be done in accordance with criteria set forth in the state's applicable mine reclamation standards (i.e. Chap. 62C-36.008, FAC). Three isolated and degraded wetlands, totaling 14.3 acres, currently remain on the mine property. The mining operation will eliminate two of these wetlands for a combined total of 6.6 acres of impact. However, any functional values lost as a result will be fully compensated through the purchase of wetland credits from an approved wetland mitigation bank. In addition, approximately 9.9 acres have been retained in the southwest corner of the property. This area includes an isolated 7.7 acre wetland that has been preserved to meet local Collier County preservation requirements. Approximately 7.4 acres of this wetland are included within the conservation easement for the preserve area. the remaining 0.3 acre of wetland is along the perimeter of the property within utility or ROW easements so while it is being retained on the site, it is not included in the preserve calculations. Alligators currently reside within and/or utilize some of the larger agricultural ditches and the small man-made ponds on the mine property. Various listed wading birds forage within the ditches and wetlands on the mine property as well as along the banks of the ponds. Florida sandhill cranes and crested caracaras also occasionally forage in the property's pastures and crop fields. These listed species will be protected during project construction (see Appendix C). The lake created through the mining process will establish far more aquatic habitat for use by listed wading birds and alligators than presently exists on the property. The large mining pit lake, when completed, will provide much greater water storage on the property than exists currently and thus will be a source of groundwater recharge for the general region. The water table in the lakes will reflect the existing regional water table and so will not adversely affect natural hydroperiods or peak water table elevations in off -site wetlands. To the Page 13 of 36 Page 545 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 contrary, more water will be available to the wetlands through the surficial aquifer recharge effects of the lake. The on -site stormwater management system proposed is designed so that some stormwater from the pit lake will discharge following appropriate water quality treatment and attenuation. The overall water balance for the project site should be improved since groundwater withdrawals for crop field irrigation will be phased out as the mining operation progresses. Currently, agricultural practices on the property include the use of throwout pumps to discharge water from the crop fields into on -site uplands and wetland storage areas. This discharge seriously disrupts and adversely impacts the natural hydroperiod of affected wetlands and also lowers the water quality in the lands receiving water from the pumping. As mining progresses, the on -site farming activities including the use of throwout pumps will be eliminated. Surface water nutrient loadings generated by the existing farming operations can be substantial. When managed appropriately the impacts can be eliminated. However, the ultimate elimination of the throw out pumps as proposed will certainly eliminate any potential for adverse impacts. The proposed project stormwater management system will capture and treat on -site stormwater runoff in accordance with SFWMD/FDEP stormwater treatment and attenuation design criteria. The stormwater treatment capacity of the lake will be sufficient enough to gain a state water quality certification. Various acreage estimates for the proposed project are provided below. • Total area within Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary = 896.70 acres • Total area to be developed as part of the project = 886.3 acres • Portion of developed area to be mined = 680.3 acres • Portion of developed area to be disturbed but not mined = 206.0 acres • Total area within the property boundary to be preserved (on -site Preserve) = 9.9 acres Proposed Composition of Areas Developed on the Mine Property • Mine Lake (dug as excavation cells; area at control elevation) = 680.3 acres • Tailings pond (area at control elevation) =17.9 acres • Aggregate stockpile and processing area plus Offices/operational facilities area = 47.9 acres • Perimeter stormwater containment berms = 59.3 acres • Primary haul road = 83.9 acres • Total impervious areas = 14.1 acres 3.2 PROJECT CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE Figure 6 illustrates the conceptual site plan for the expanded Immokalee Sand Mine project. No construction of public facilities is proposed as part of the project. The property will be accessed directly from State Road 82 using the access determined in coordination with County and State DOT and traffic officials. The proposed project includes constructing new turn lanes (west -bound right turn lane and east -bound left turn lane) on State Road 82. The project construction activities commenced in 2019. The wetland mitigation purchase has already occurred for the previously impacted wetland areas. Mitigation for the proposed new wetland impacts will occur shortly after issuance of the necessary permits. Generally speaking, the Mine operations office and related facilities (parking lot, on -site entry road, etc.), processing plant and facilities, and the tailings pond will be constructed first along with the perimeter stormwater berms encompassing this area. Excavation of the mining pit will then commence and will be expanded over time. Mining of the overburden in the construction office and tailings Page 14 of 36 Page 546 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 pond area has already commenced. It is estimated that a maximum of roughly 40 to 50 acres may be mined per year, although initial mining will encompass more acreage, areal expansion will reduce as deeper depths are mined. Prior to starting excavation of a given excavation area; the perimeter stormwater containment berm will be constructed/expanded to encompass the new mining area. Final completion of mining activities is estimated to occur roughly 10 to 15 years after project construction is initiated but this could vary. The overall mining area ("developed area") will be reclaimed in accordance with reclamation requirements set forth in Chapter 62C-36.008, Florida Administrative Code (limestone reclamation requirements/standards). Mine closure and reclamation will include removal of the processing plant plus elimination (filling and subsequent revegetation) of the tailings pond. It is important to understand that the existing farming activities will continue during much of the total lifespan of the Mine project. Pasture fields will be retained in areas not being mined and will be gradually eliminated as the mining progresses across the property. The fields and agricultural drainage and irrigation ditches associated with these fields will be modified as necessary in advance of the mining to allow farming to continue in non -mined areas. 3.3 PROJECT IMPACTS TO WETLANDS The proposed expansion of the project will impact a total of 6.7 acres of isolated, degraded wetlands on the Mine property. Development of the proposed Mine project will impact two of the remaining three wetlands on the Mine property; hence one wetland area will be preserved on -site. one small wetland area was authorized to be impacted under the original permitting and no longer exists. The additional impacted wetlands proposed with this expansion total about 6.6 acres. Figure 6 illustrates the wetlands that will be impacted. Appendix A Table 4 provides the existing habitat types (FLUCFCS map units) occurring in the wetlands to be impacted. During the construction and mining process, appropriate construction best management practices will be employed to help protect water quality and minimize the discharge of sediments and/or turbid water from the project site. The specific erosion/sediment/turbidity control methods and devices used will generally conform to applicable standards and criteria set forth in the "FDER Florida Development Manual," Sections 6-301 through 6-500 (FDER.1988. "The Florida Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management," Chapter 6: "Storm Water and Erosion Control Best Management Practices for Developing Areas; Guidelines for Using Erosion and Sediment Control Practices," ES BMP1.01-1.67. Tallahassee, FL.). These methods will also typically conform to applicable standards and guidelines set forth in the "Florida Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspector's Manual" (FDEP, 2002). All runoff from the developed Mine area will be contained on -site while the Mine is active through construction of the perimeter stormwater containment berms. 3.3.1 DIRECT, PERMANENT IMPACTS Development of the proposed Mine expansion project will result in direct, permanent impacts to a total of 6.6 acres of FDEP jurisdictional wetlands and potentially USACE jurisdictional wetlands. As used herein, the term "direct, permanent impacts" refers to actions that will result in the complete elimination of jurisdictional areas (i.e. excavation and fill). The remainder of the existing on -site wetlands will be preserved. Table 4 lists the proposed permanent wetland impacts while Figure 6 illustrates these impacts. The wetlands proposed to be permanently impacted are all isolated and substantially degraded. UMAM scores for the existing functional values of these wetlands range from 0.27 to 0.33 (see Table 8). Page 15 of 36 Page 547 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 Wetland 643 is a small area in the southwest corner of the property that also extends off -site. None of this wetland will be impacted by the proposed mine and the off -site portions of this wetland will also remain intact. There are several jurisdictional other surface waters (OSWs) within the Mine property boundary which are all segments of man-made agricultural drainage ditches and small man- made ponds. Development of the Mine project will result in direct, permanent impacts to all these OSWs. The only OSW not to be directly impacted will be portions of the perimeter rim ditch that is located both on and off -site. Portions or "slivers" of this ditch located within the Mine property are not anticipated to be impacted by Mine development. 3.3.2 TEMPORARY IMPACTS Permitted wetland enhancement activities in wetland 643 required mechanized clearing and grading of portions of the wetland. These activities took place in disturbed areas that were dominated by exotics. This wetland is not USACE jurisdictional. The proposed enhancement program may require additional temporary impacts to a total of 7.4 acres of FDEP jurisdictional wetlands to maintain the area free from exotics. The effects of any needed future clearing and grading activities proposed should not be considered wetland "impacts" since they are necessary to carry out the wetland enhancement and will result in overall positive benefits to the affected wetland areas. 3.3.3 SECONDARY IMPACTS TO OFF -SITE WETLANDS AND WATER RESOURCES The proposed layout of the Mine project's development features will minimize potential secondary impacts to the only adjacent off -site wetlands by providing an appropriate buffer between the development features and these wetlands. The Mine pit, when completed, will provide much greater water storage on the Mine property than exists currently and thus will be a source of groundwater recharge for the general region. The water table in the lake will reflect the existing regional water table and thereby maintain ambient natural water table levels. In this manner, the proposed lake will not adversely affect natural hydroperiods or peak water table elevations around the project site. Indications are that the overall water budget (water balance) for the Mine property will be improved by development of the project, largely through the elimination of agricultural ground water usage. The pre -mining conditions likely produce a net deficit water balance due to losses from evapotranspiration/evaporation, surface runoff, and ground water pumping. The post -mining conditions should create a surplus water balance, primarily due to the elimination of agricultural ground water pumping and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in surface runoff. The proposed project will, over time, eliminate the agricultural ground water pumping, will reduce the net consumptive use of the surficial aquifer, and will somewhat decrease site runoff. Due to the proposed method of excavation (wet mining), groundwater resources will not be adversely affected by this project. The project site is not located in an area where Mine excavation activities might pose the threat of potential saltwater intrusion. Most of the Mine property prior to the original permitting was used to produce citrus and small vegetable crops and as such required irrigation. The supplemental irrigation is supplied by groundwater resources via wells tapping the surficial aquifer (water table aquifer). The proposed project will not require a net consumption of as great a volume of water as that Page 16 of 36 Page 548 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 demanded by the crop fields, therefore utilization of groundwater resources will be reduced. The project's proposed stormwater management system will be designed to comply with all applicable design standards and requirements set forth in SFWMD's Applicant's Handbook, including but not limited to those addressing water quality criteria, water quantity criteria, and water management design and construction criteria. Adherence to these criteria will help ensure that, following mine reclamation, discharges from the stormwater management system to off -site lands meets applicable state and federal surface water quality standards. While Mine operations are on -going (pre -reclamation) all runoff from developed areas will be contained on -site through use a perimeter stormwater containment berm. This runoff will flow into the project's lakes for proper attenuation and treatment. During the construction and mining process, appropriate best management practices will be employed to control and reduce soil erosion, sediment transport, and turbidity. Given these factors, the proposed project should not adversely impact water quality in off -site wetlands or surface waters. Currently agricultural practices on the Mine property also include the use of throwout pumps to discharge water from the crop fields into off -site uplands and wetlands. This discharge lowers the water quality in the wetlands receiving water from the pumping since the water receives minimal, if any, treatment prior to the pumping. As mining progresses, the on -site farming activities including the use of throwout pumps will be eliminated. Discontinuation of pumping will further benefit water quality in off -site wetlands and other surface waters. 3.4 PRESERVATION, ENHANCEMENT, RESTORATION, AND CREATION OF WETLANDS The proposed wetland impacts will be compensated by purchase of mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank. An assessment of the wetland impacts and mitigation was conducted using the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) set forth in Chapter 62-345, Florida Administrative Code. A summary of this assessment is provided in Table 8 of Appendix A, while the complete UMAM sheets are provided in Appendix E. The UMAM assessment indicates that the UMAM scores for the four remaining on -site wetlands range from 0.27 to 0.43 and that the total functional value of the 6.6 acres of wetlands to be impacted is 2.71. The applicant will purchase 2.71 mitigation bank credits from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank Expansion to offset the proposed project wetland impacts. This will fully compensate for the proposed project wetland impacts without the inclusion of the on -site enhancement activities proposed in the on -site preserve. The UMAM assessment indicates the Mine project will not result in any net loss of wetland functions. 3.5 PROJECT IMPACTS TO LISTED SPECIES An ongoing survey for listed animal and plant species has been conducted on the project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates ecologists. This listed species survey, and its results are discussed in Appendix B. The listed animal species observed on project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates included American alligator, wood stork, snowy egret, white ibis, tricolored heron, sandhill crane, and crested caracara. Other than alligators and sandhill crane, none of the observed listed animal species reside or nest on the project lands. No listed plant species were found on the project lands. Appendix C provides a protection plan (management plan) for the listed species that were documented utilizing the project lands as well as for some additional listed wading birds that were not observed but which could forage on the property. Page 17 of 36 Page 549 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 The following subsections provide an assessment of the proposed project's potential impacts to various listed animal species. The species addressed include those observed on or in close proximity to the Mine property as well as certain species that could potentially occur on the Mine property and/or on off -site lands close to the Mine site. Wood Storks ftcteria americans) No wood stork nests, rookeries, or roosting sites have been found on the project lands. The closest documented wood stork colony is located approximately 9.3 miles east of the Mine property in the Okaloacoochee Slough. The proximity of this rookery (colony) places the proposed project within the colony's 18.6- mile Core Foraging Area as defined by FWS. The property is also within the CFA of two other rookery sites. It is 13.5 miles from the Corkscrew rookery and 17.7 miles from the North Katherine Island rookery. Wood storks have been documented foraging in a few of the larger agricultural ditches on the Mine property. On -site wetlands do not provide suitable foraging habitat for wood storks for various reasons (water depths, density of shrub cover, inappropriate hydroperiod, minimal prey species, etc.). Though it is possible that wood storks could occasionally forage in limited portions of on -site wetland 643; however the quality of these habitats for foraging purposes is minimal. None of the on -site wetlands offer habitats suitable for establishment of wood stork rookeries. The proposed project will impact two of the remaining three small wetlands present on the Mine property. These impacts will not constitute a significant loss of suitable foraging habitat. The project will also eliminate (impact) essentially all of the existing other surface waters (OSWs) present on the Mine property (i.e. the existing man-made agricultural drainage ditches and ponds). Very few of the ditches to be impacted provide significant wood stork foraging opportunities. Most of the ditches are generally very shallow and contain limited prey species when water is present. The remaining larger ditches do provide suitable foraging habitat when conditions are favorable. The foraging opportunities provided can vary significantly during a given year due a wide array of factors that include, but are not limited to: water levels present (ditches can be too dry for several months; water depths can be too deep in larger ditches, particularly when fields are being irrigated); variable abundance of prey species; access of prey species to ditch segment (manipulation control structures such as flashboard risers can block or allow access); maintenance condition of ditch segment (ex. whether vegetation cover is dense or sparse, whether the ditch has been recently re -graded or not, etc.). The herbaceous wet prairie to be retained and enhanced will provide 7.4 acres of short hydroperiod wetlands to the project site. Upon completion of the mining operation and mine reclamation, the resultant lake will encompass a total of approximately 680 acres. The lake will provide a deep water refuge for fish as well as habitat for a diversity of other aquatic and semi -aquatic organisms. Vegetated littoral zones will form along the perimeters of the lake. These littoral zones will provide some foraging opportunities for wood storks, however the foraging value on a per acre basis will be limited compared to more favorable habitats such as the prairie areas in the preserve (due to factors such as water depth, dispersal of prey species, extended inundation vs. seasonal drying, etc.). During the initial construction phase of the Mine and as the areas to be mined expand over time; various measures will be taken to help ensure protection of wood storks. These measures are addressed in the enclosed "listed species protection plan" (see Appendix C). The proposed wetland mitigation activities will occur at a mitigation bank within the same wood stork Core Foraging Area in which the proposed wetland impacts will occur. This mitigation is in keeping with the Section 404(b)(1) guidelines and, in conjunction with the creation of the Mine, should Page 18 of 36 Page 550 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 adequately compensate for the loss of the existing low -quality wood stork foraging habitats that will be impacted by the Mine project. Given these considerations, it is concluded that the proposed Mine project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect wood storks. Various Listed WadingBirds irds Little blue herons (Egretta caerulea), snowy egrets (Egretta thula), tricolored herons (Egretta tricolor), and white ibis (Eudocimus alba) have been observed foraging in various agricultural drainage ditches and swales located on the Mine property. Little blue herons and snowy egrets have also been observed foraging in on -site wetlands. No nests of these species have been observed on the project lands. Besides these species, other listed wading birds that could theoretically frequent appropriate habitats within the project lands include roseate spoonbills (Ajaja ajaja), and limpkins (Aramus guarauna). Development of the Mine project will result in the loss of on -site drainage ditches and wetlands thereby reducing potential foraging habitats for the listed wading birds mentioned while the Mine lake shoreline will provide new potential foraging habitats. The listed species protection plan includes measures to help protect these species during project construction and operation. Overall, the proposed project will impact existing low -quality foraging habitats but should adequately compensate for these impacts and not threaten the continued existence of the cited listed wading birds. American Alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) Numerous alligators have been observed in the drainage ditches on the Mine property. No alligator nests have been documented on or in close proximity to the Mine property though nests could occur in the denser wetland areas and not be observed. The proposed project will affect alligators; however the anticipated impacts (primarily a combination of temporary and permanent displacement) should not substantially affect alligator populations in the general region. Measures are included in the listed species protection plan to help avoid and minimize direct impacts to individual alligators and alligator nests. Once the Mine is reclaimed, the lake will provide roughly 680 acres of viable alligator habitat, far more than exists presently. Florida Sandhill Cranes (Gros canadensis pratensis) A few Florida sandhill cranes have been observed on the Mine property foraging in row crop field areas. Cranes have also been observed in pastures and herbaceous wetlands near the property. A single crane nest was observed at the north end of SW-2 during the 2020 listed species survey effort. Development of the Mine property will eliminate certain on -site upland and wetland habitats that provide foraging opportunities for sandhill cranes. The wet prairie area in the southwest corner of the site will be protected and retained. Crane foraging can also continue to occur in the pasture areas as the mining operation expands. The gradual loss of the pasture lands as the mining footprint expands should not threaten the continued existence of sandhill cranes nor should it adversely impact sandhill crane populations. The listed species protection plan incorporates actions that will help ensure protection of sandhill crane nests in the unlikely event that such nests are established on -site. The FWC has expressed some concerns on other projects that blasting activities might adversely impact off -site sandhill Page 19 of 36 Page 551 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 crane nests. The listed species protection plan calls for conducting off -site surveys for sandhill crane nests should the first blasting events be scheduled to commence shortly before or during the crane nesting season. It also includes measures for protecting any nests encountered from the potential secondary impacts of blasting (ex. abandonment of nest). If the first blasting events will not coincide with the nesting season, it was assumed that sandhill cranes would not elect to establish nests in off -site lands that are in close enough proximity to the Mine that the cranes would feel threatened or disturbed by the on -going blasting activities. Eastern Indigo Snakes (DrNmarchon corais coy eri� No indigo snakes have been observed on the project lands and the majority of these lands do not provide particularly suitable habitats for indigo snakes. Considering their elusive nature, their large home range, and the wide array of habitats they may utilize, there remains a limited potential that indigo snakes could occasionally frequent portions of the project lands. The listed species protection plan adopted as part of the Mine project includes appropriate measures for helping ensure the protection of indigo snakes throughout the operational life of the Mine. The particulars of the protection plan for indigo snakes set forth in the Mine's listed species protection plan basically follow the FWS's prescribed "Standard Protection Measures for the Eastern Indigo Snake". There are no gopher tortoise burrows, and only a very few armadillo burrows, on the project lands where an indigo snake could be buried or trapped and injured during project activities. In consideration of these points and given the limited probability of any indigo snakes occurring on the project lands, it is anticipated that the Mine project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect this species. Florida Bonneted Bat (Eumops floridanus) No bats or bat roosts have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. Due to the agricultural activities there are no trees with cavities suitable for roosting. It is possible that bats might establish in some of the farm storage sheds or mine office buildings in the future either prior to initial mine construction activities or afterward as the Mine development/excavation progresses though the likelihood of this occurring is minimal at best. The proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to bonneted bats. Florida Panthers (Puma concolor cord) Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation overlays encompass the Mine property as discussed in Appendix C, although no Florida panthers have ever been documented on project lands. Development of the Mine will permanently impact 896.7 acres all of which is located in the Secondary Zone. The FWS has established panther Habitat Suitability Values (HSVs) for various types of habitats with scores (values) ranging from 0 (no value) to 9.5 (optimal value). When the acreage of a given habitat type (polygon) is multiplied by this habitat's HSV, the result is termed the Panther Habitat Unit value or PHU value. Based on the existing habitat types present, the total PHU value of the land encompassed by the proposed mine expansion property boundary is 422 Secondary zone or 291 Primary zone equivalent habitat units. Utilizing the 1.98 base ratio multiplier, the PHU requirement to off -set the proposed impacts associated with the expansion is 577 PHUs. Wetland mitigation credits purchased from the mitigation bank have associated PHU credits. Each wetland credit from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank expansion has 34.8 PHUs associated with it. The project will be purchasing 2.71 wetland credits which will also account for 94.31 Page 20 of 36 Page 552 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 PHUs. The applicant currently anticipates that the mitigation needed to compensate for the proposed panther habitat impacts will be achieved through preservation and management of off -site lands located within the Primary Zone panther habitat conservation overlay. The original review and authorization of this project preserved 764.1 acres of off -site lands which provided 6,628 PHUs. All of these off -site lands used for the project's panther mitigation program are lands that are currently owned by the owner of the Mine property. The FWS has previously approved this approach to mitigating development impacts to potential panther habitats for the original permitting on this project. There is still a value of 4,156 PHUs associated with the off -site preserve lands which could be used to offset the remaining PHU requirement for the proposed expansion of the mine footprint. The applicant will enter into consultation with the FWS to address the Mine project's expansion impacts to Florida panthers and their potential habitats. The specifics of the location of the off -site lands to be preserved and protected as part of the project's panther mitigation program have been provided by the applicant as part of the previous permitting process. The applicant will ensure that the compensation value of these off -site lands combined with the compensation value of the on -site Preserve will be at least equal to if not greater than the current PHU value of Mine lands proposed for development (e.g. PHU value of off -site lands plus wetland mitigation purchase will be equal to or greater than the PHU value of the area to be developed multiplied by the requisite base ratio and applicable landscape compensation multipliers). Any other measures deemed necessary by the FWS to ensure adequate protection of panthers will also be addressed by the applicant during the Section 7 consultation process during which time the applicant will also coordinate panther issues with the FWC. Given this approach, it is anticipated that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, the Florida panther. Crested Caracaras (Caracara cheriway� Intensive surveys of the project lands found no caracara nests on the project lands. Caracara foraging was observed on the project site in the fallow agricultural fields. Caracaras were also regularly seen consuming road -kill along SR 82 in close proximity to the project site. Several cabbage palm trees were removed in 2019 following the issuance of the Biological Opinion for the original mine footprint. It appears that caracaras do not nest on these lands but that they do occasionally use these lands for hunting/foraging purposes. The listed species survey conducted by ecologists working on the SR 82 roadway expansion in 2016 opined that a caracara nest may be present on project lands No nest was observed but repeated flights by a pair of caracaras were observed that would lead to the possibility that nesting was occurring in that area. Subsequent caracara nesting surveys determined that a caracara nest may be present on lands to the east of the project site. No nest was observed but repeated flights by a pair of caracaras were observed that would lead to the possibility that nesting was occurring in that direction. Publications by the FWS and FWC (ref: FWS. 2002. Habitat management guidelines for Audubon's crested caracara in central and southern Florida; FWC. 2001. Recommended management practices and survey protocol's for Audubon's crested caracara in Florida; FWS. 2002. Draft standard local operating procedures for endangered species (SLOPES) for Audubon's crested caracara) recommend buffer zones to be established around active nests. If a nest is located on or adjacent to the project site appropriate buffers will be established to ensure that the proposed work will not adversely affect the nest. Considering this along with the results of the listed species surveys conducted on -site (no nests, relatively few observations of foraging/hunting, limited suitable habitat), proposed development Page 21 of 36 Page 553 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 activities on the actual Mine property should not directly impact caracaras (not likely to adversely affect). It may also be concluded that while the existing mine will not adversely affect caracaras (per the FWS BO for the project), the proposed expansion may increase effects to caracaras. The determination of whether these additional impacts will adversely affect caracaras or whether they will have only minimal effects on this species (i.e. may affect, not likely to adversely affect) will be coordinated with FWS and FWC during the permitting process to determine appropriate measures that can be taken to help ensure the proposed project will not adversely affect caracaras (ex. protection plans, monitoring plans, and measures to minimize or mitigate potential impacts). The listed species protection plan proposed (Appendix C) prescribes surveying on -site for caracara nests prior to initiation of Mine construction activities to help ensure no caracara nests have been established on the project lands subsequent to the listed species surveys already conducted. Surveys for caracara nests located on or immediately off -site in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property will also be conducted throughout the life of the mine. The protection plan further includes various activities to be conducted during the operational life of the Mine to help minimize potential secondary impacts to caracaras. These proposed activities are subject to change and will be finalized based on input and guidance received from FWS during their evaluation of the project. Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia) No burrowing owls or owl burrows have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. It is possible that owls might establish on -site burrows in the future either prior to initial mine construction activities or afterward in areas of the property where Mine development/excavation had not yet expanded into though the likelihood of this occurring is minimal at best. The listed species management plan includes measures to locate and protect any on -site owl burrows during the operational life of the Mine. Thus, the proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to burrowing owls. The listed species protection program also incorporates measures to protect off -site owl burrows from Mine blasting activities should new burrows be established in close proximity to Mine blasting areas. After blasting activities begin, it is assumed burrowing owls will avoid establishing burrows in off -site areas where they consider the effects of blasting (noise, ground vibration) to be potentially harmful or disruptive. Potential secondary impacts of Mine blasting activities to off -site owl burrows should not be significant given the proposed protection plan and the anticipated tendency of owls to avoid areas where blasting creates a disturbance. Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) No gopher tortoises or tortoise burrows have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. There are known tortoise burrows approximately 3/4 of a mile to the southwest and 1 mile to the northeast of the project site. There is a possibility that tortoises could move onto the site or establish burrows closer to the Mine between now and the completion of the excavation activities. The listed species management plan includes measures to periodically survey the site to locate and protect any on -site tortoises during the operational life of the Mine. The listed species protection program also incorporates measures to protect off -site tortoises from Mine activities should new burrows be established in close proximity to Mine. Thus, the proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to gopher tortoises. Page 22 of 36 Page 554 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 3.6 PROJECT IMPACTS TO ARCHAEOLOGICAL/HISTORICAL RESOURCES As part of the earlier permitting efforts, a letter was submitted to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (DHR) requesting DHR to examine the Florida Master Site File for any previously recorded archaeological/historical resources documented on the project lands. DHR responded in a letter dated 9/25/08 that the Florida Master Site File listed no previously recorded cultural resources on the subject property. A Cultural Resources Survey of the site was conducted in 2016 which did not find any evidence of cultural or archaeological resources on the property. A copy of the Survey is provided as Appendix F. The Collier County Long Range Planning Department's "Index Map of Historical/Archaeological Probability of Collier County, Florida", published on 5/5/01 was also reviewed. These maps did not show any historic structures, archaeological sites, or historic districts on the project lands. Based on a review of historic aerial photos, this area has existed essentially in the same condition as it is today for at least the past 30 years or more. Given the above, it does not appear that proposed expansion of the Immokalee Sand Mine mining footprint will impact any historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places or otherwise of historical, architectural, or archaeological value. If a suspected archaeological or historical artifact is discovered during the course of site development activities (construction, mining, clearing, etc.), the development activities at the specific site will be immediately halted and the appropriate agency notified. Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to enable the County or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action. Page 23 of 36 Page 555 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 4. AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION OF WETLAND AND LISTED SPECIES IMPACTS The geology in southwest Florida is highly inconsistent from one site to another. Tamiami Limestone is shown in regional geology data to be the predominant geological formation in the area, but that formation is not a viable source of natural sand and gravel. The applicant been searching for a viable deposit of sand and gravel (fine aggregate) when they discovered this deposit. The applicant was involved in a search for rock aggregate in which they investigated several properties. During the investigations, the sand source associated with this project was located and a mining permit application process was started to take advantage of this uncommon deposit. The Stewart Mine to the south across SR 82 also produces similar sand products and has been in operation for several years. The next closest source of sand to the SW Florida market is in Ortona, which is about 35 miles away by truck. Permits were issued for this property by all appropriate agencies and the mining operation was initiated in late 2019. In order for a deposit to be deemed viable, the following requirements had to be met: location in southwest Florida near the Naples/Bonita Springs/Ft. Myers area (e.g. near existing manufacturing facilities in Naples, Bonita Springs, and lmmokalee plus located in a region of the state where there is a high demand for this type of aggregate); deposits present must be capable of yielding FDOT-quality construction aggregates; deposits must be sufficient in volume/extent and must be sufficiently shallow to make mining operation economically viable. One of the more difficult requirements to satisfy is typically locating deposits that can meet FDOT quality standards. The general requirements for fine aggregate to meet these standards are (from FDOT Standards for Road and Bridge Construction Section 902): - Fine aggregate shall consist of natural silica sand, screenings, local materials, or other inert materials with similar characteristics, having hard, strong, durable particles, conforming to the specific requirements of this Section 902. - All fine aggregate shall be reasonably free of lumps of clay, soft or flaky particles, salt, alkali, organic matter, loam or other extraneous substances. The weight of deleterious substances shall not exceed the following percentages: oShale...................................................................................1.0 o Coal and lignite................................................................1.0 o Cinders and clinkers........................................................0.5 oClay Lumps.......................................................................1.0 - Silica sand shall be composed only of naturally occurring hard, strong, durable, uncoated grains of quartz, reasonably graded from coarse to fine, meeting the following requirements, in percent total weight. Sieve Opening Size Percent Retained Percent Passing No. 4 0 to 5 95 to 100 No. 8 0 to 15 85 to 100 No.16 3 to 35 65 to 97 No. 30 30 to 75 25 to 70 No. 50 65 to 95 5 to 35 No. 100 93 to 100 0 to 7 No. 200 minimum 96 maximum 4 Silica sand from any one source, having a variation in Fineness Modulus greater than 0.20 either way from the Fineness Modulus of target gradations established by the producer, may be rejected. Page 24 of 36 Page 556 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 Silica sand shall be subject to the colorimetric test for organic impurities. If the color produced is darker than the standard solution, the aggregate shall be rejected unless it can be shown by appropriate tests that the impurities causing the color are not of a type that would be detrimental to Portland Cement Concrete. Such tests shall be in accordance with AASHTO T21 and AASHTO T71. When tested for the effect of organic impurities on strength of mortar, the strength ratio at seven and 28 days, calculated in accordance with Section 11 of AASHTO T71, shall not be less than 95%. Extensive testing was done at multiple sites throughout the area but were not considered viable due to the lack of sand deposits meeting the above criteria. Only the proposed Immokalee Sand Mine area contained sufficient quantities of sand where the deposits were capable of yielding FDOT-quality fine aggregate. Initially, the boundary of the area to be mined covered the entire project area but was reduced due to a potential wildlife corridor that was considered along the north boundary of the site. This potential corridor was eliminated from consideration when wildlife agencies located the corridor further north and west of the project site. Since the corridor is no longer proposed by the wildlife agencies, the mine footprint is being expanded in order to be able to excavate this valuable resource. During the construction and mining process, appropriate construction best management practices will be employed to help protect water quality and minimize the discharge of sediments and/or turbid water from the project site. The specific erosion/sediment/turbidity control methods and devices used will generally conform to applicable standards and criteria set forth in the "FDER Florida Development Manual," Sections 6-301 through 6-500 (FDER. 1988. "The Florida Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management," Chapter 6: "Storm Water and Erosion Control Best Management Practices for Developing Areas; Guidelines for Using Erosion and Sediment Control Practices," ES BMP 1.01-1.67. FDER, Tallahassee, FL.). Impacts to various listed wading birds and alligators that may periodically visit the project site (for foraging or other activities) along with impacts to resident alligators will be minimized by taking appropriate protection measures during project construction and operations activities. Following completion of the proposed mining activities, it is presently estimated that the lake formed on -site by the excavation will occupy approximately 680 acres. Mine reclamation activities will include planting lake shorelines with a variety of native littoral zone species in accordance with mine reclamation requirements specified in Chapter 62C-36, Florida Administrative Code. These post -reclamation mine lakes will provide desirable habitats for listed wading bird foraging and for alligators, thereby helping offset the project's proposed impacts to habitats currently utilized by these species. Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation overlays encompass the Mine property as discussed in Appendix B, although Florida panthers have not been documented on project lands. Development of the Mine will impact these panther habitat conservation zones. Even though the affected areas currently have limited panther habitat value, it is anticipated that the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will require mitigation for the proposed impacts to the same extent as they required compensation for the currently permitted footprint. The necessary mitigation for the project's impacts to panther habitats and the specifics of the mitigation will be determined as part of the consultation with FWS. It is proposed that mitigation will take the form of protecting and managing privately owned lands located within the Primary habitat zone of the Panther. This form of panther habitat mitigation has been previously Page 25 of 36 Page 557 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 approved by FWS for the current mine footprint. Mitigation for project impacts to panther habitat conservation zones could include other measures recommended by the FWS. However, it is premature to accurately predict the ultimate panther habitat mitigation program at this conceptual planning stage of the project. Page 26 of 36 Page 558 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 5. WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM The mitigation for wetland impacts will be provided through the purchase of wetland mitigation credits from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank Expansion. In addition to the credit purchase, the project will include a Collier County preserve area which will be enhanced and maintained, though no mitigation credit is associated with it. The wetland enhancement program involves enhancement of preserved wetlands and uplands, and the maintenance, management, and protection of these areas. This section describes key components of the wetland enhancement program. 5.1 ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITIES (TYPES) Wet Prairie - (Map FLUCFCS Code 643) This existing wetland occurs in a disturbed area in the southwest corner of the property. Plant cover is variable and mainly consists of native herbaceous wetland species and a few woody exotic and nuisance species. Eradication of the exotic and nuisance species using non - mechanized methods will be undertaken but no other enhancement activities are proposed. Presently the area is occasionally mown during the dry season. It is desirable to retain this area in its existing state due to its value for wading birds. Mowing activities will be suspended unless necessary for the road right-of-way maintenance or to control colonization by large woody species. This area will be separated from the mining operations and maintained in its existing condition. It is not included in the preserve areas due to its isolation from other natural areas and its unknown future pending potential improvements or widening of State Road 82. Some supplemental planting may be done if exotic eradication efforts create barren areas too large to quickly re -colonize. Potential supplemental plantings could include the following; Sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) Maidencane (Panicum virgatum) Cordgrasses (Spartina spp.) Spike Rushes (Eleocharis spp.) St. Johns Wort (Hypericum spp.) Spiderlily (Hymenocallis palmeri) Swamplily (Crinum americanum) Yellow -eyed Grass (Xeric ambigua) Whitetop Sedge (Dichromena colorata) 5.2 ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS OF ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM In addition to the above, the wetland enhancement program will have several other facets. These are discussed in the following paragraphs. Hydrologic Enhancement: Historically the water table in row crop fields adjacent to the preserve area was managed (i.e. fields are de -watered) by pumping water in to or out of field rim ditches and lateral ditches. This water is discharged via throw out pumps around these wetlands. This practice severely disrupts the normal wetland hydroperiod. Once the mining operations are under way, agricultural pumping of water into wetlands will be permanently ceased. This will help restore stable hydroperiods that are more typical of natural wetland conditions, prevent artificial over - inundation or drawdown of wetlands, and improve water quality. Page 27 of 36 Page 559 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 Protection of Wetlands and Uplands via Conservation Easements: The preserve area will be placed under appropriate conservation easements which will protect the future integrity of the enhanced wetlands and uplands encompassed by the conservation area. The easements will ensure that the preserve area are preserved and protected in perpetuity. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Maintenance Eradication of Exotic and Nuisance Plants: The preserve area will be maintained in perpetuity to ensure that the areas are free from exotic/invasive plant species immediately following maintenance events and such that exotic and nuisance plane species will be kept out of the preserve area. Exotic invasive plant species will include Category I and Category II species identified in the current "Invasive Plant List" published by the Florida Exotic Pest Plan Council (FLEPPC) as well as Class I and Class II Prohibited Aquatic Plants listed in Chapter 62C-52.011, Florida Administrative Code. Nuisance plant species will include native plant species deemed detrimental due to their potential adverse competition with desirable native species. Visual inspection for exotic, non-native and nuisance plant invasion will be conducted annually and all exotic, non-native and nuisance vegetation including those defined by County codes and the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, found within the preserve areas will be flagged, mapped and reported for treatment. Felled material will be removed from the preserve areas where possible or killed in place where removal would cause extreme damage to the surrounding native areas. Any stumps remaining after the exotic, non-native and nuisance removal will be treated with a U.S. EPA approved herbicide and visible tracer dye to prevent regeneration from the roots. These maintenance activities will be performed in perpetuity as needed. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Removal of Cattle and Fencing: All of the Preserve area is currently protected from grazing by cattle. Much of the on -site Preserve was occasionally managed for rangeland grazing via measures such as brush -hogging. Cattle are no longer allowed to graze within the conservation area and rangeland management practices have been discontinued. This has increased the growth, development, and diversity of native plant assemblages by removing the grazing and management pressures. Wetland and Upland Preserve Delineation: The preserves is clearly delineated with appropriate signage and will not be impacted by the currently proposed expansion. Page 28 of 36 Page 560 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 6. WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM SUCCESS CRITERIA Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, meeting on -site success criteria is not applicable or relevant to this proposal. Page 29 of 36 Page 561 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 7. WETLAND MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, Onsite monitoring of wetland preserves will not be required. Page 30 of 36 Page 562 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 8. PRESERVE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, the management of the preserve area will be more to keep it consistent and compliant with Collier County regulations. The wetland will not be impacted as a minimization measure for the FDEP and USACE permitting. The Immokalee Sand Mine preserve area will be maintained to suppress infestation by exotic/invasive and nuisance plant species. Maintenance/management actions will be conducted as required to keep the area free from exotic or nuisance species. This area will be maintained in perpetuity such that exotic and nuisance plant infestations do not exceed the maximum allowed by the Collier County Land Development Code. After initial eradication efforts are complete, follow-up exotic and nuisance plant control will include directed herbicide applications and/or physical removal methods throughout all portions of the preserve area. Exotic/nuisance plant control is likely to occur on an annual basis for at least the first three years following completion of initial eradication efforts. Such maintenance events may be conducted more frequently if field observations indicate the need. At the end of this period, the frequency of activities necessary to adequately control nuisance and exotic plants will be re -assessed and a program developed for future maintenance. Follow-up plantings of previously planted areas will be conducted as necessary when and where survivorship, density, and/or percent cover goals are not achieved. The need for such re - plantings will typically be assessed on an annual basis. Management/maintenance activities may include removal of dead, dying, or diseased plants (both planted and existing plants) as deemed necessary. A qualified biologist or similar environmental professional will inspect the preserve area at least once a year. During the first few years, inspections will likely occur more frequently in an effort to rectify any potential problem situations (e.g., exotic/nuisance plant infestations, mortality of planted species, etc.) before they worsen. The necessary maintenance activities will be determined by the biologist during these inspections. The maintenance will be conducted during the course of the year following issuance of the biologist's recommendations.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, the financial component of the mitigation requirement will be met prior to any impacts occurring to the wetlands within the project footprint. Page 32 of 36 Page 564 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 10. BASIS OF WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM AS ADEQUATE COMPENSATION FOR PROPOSED WETLAND IMPACTS Section 230.10(a) of the 404(b)(1) Guidelines states that no discharge of dredge and/or fill material (into waters of the United Sates, including wetlands) shall be permitted if there is a practicable alternative to the proposed discharge which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic environment, provided the alternative does not have other significant adverse environmental consequences. This regulation further states that for non -water dependent projects, practicable alternatives that do not involve special aquatic sites are presumed to be available. Practicable alternatives are those that are "available and capable of being done after taking into consideration cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of the overall project purposes." The applicant has investigated the availability and feasibility of practicable alternative locations other than the proposed expansion of this existing sand mine under the pending application. While the applicant has examined other locations, it is necessary to consider the investments in the Immokalee Sand Mine and the costs and logistics of obtaining sand from other locations. As noted in the Corps Regulatory Guidance on analysis under the 404(b)(1) Guidelines, the "characteristics of the project and what constitutes a reasonable expense for these projects [are what] are most relevant to practicability determinations." The applicant's needs must be considered in the context of the desired geographic area of the development, and the type of project being proposed. Indeed, RGL 93-2 provides that "[s]ome projects may be so site -specific ... that no offsite alternative could be practicable. In such cases the alternative analysis may appropriately be limited to onsite options only." Furthermore, RGL 93-2 notes that a "reasonable, common sense approach" ought to be followed in applying the requirements of the Guidelines. When dealing with mineral extraction proposals, the Corps has given considerable deference to an applicant's overall project purpose that involves mineral extraction from a specified geographic location. Additionally, the courts have not required exhaustive analysis of off -site alternatives where the costs and logistics of such alternatives are patently more costly than the applicant's preferred alternative. Here, the overall project purpose is to continue to excavate large quantities of affordable, high - quality, construction -grade sand from this existing mine. A critical consideration of the practicability of alternatives is that Immokalee Sand LLC be able to continue to use the mining - related facilities that already have been built or are planned, and the fact that high -quality, sand deposits are found in limited locations. In turn, these operations currently provide sand to a specific market in a cost-effective manner. Hence, this analysis considers the necessity of continuing to provide a source of sand for those facilities and customers that are already linked to the existing operations in this area. The proposed permit modification is requested for the purpose of allowing Immokalee Sand LLC to continue their existing operations. High quality sand is a critical state resource that is required as a component of a variety of construction materials. The sand is an integral component of concrete and other building materials required for the completion of public projects, including schools, hospitals and roads, many environmental enhancements projects as well as private developments, supporting valuable growth of the community. Factors affecting the location of a sand mine include: quality of sand reserves; total volume of sand reserves, including surface area available for mining and the depth of the sand deposits; availability of property for acquisition; and land use and other governmental restrictions, including local opposition to mining, and other factors that would limit the right of companies to excavate sand at a given location. Page 33 of 36 Page 565 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 Consequently, opening a new mine or expanding an existing facility can take decades to plan and permit. The quality of sand, where it exists, varies from region to region. There are many locations throughout the county and state where high quality deposits are non-existent. Transportation costs dictate that a regional supply of affordable sand is critical to affordable public infrastructure. Transportation costs are a significant portion of the overall cost of aggregate materials because sand and the products produced from it are extremely heavy and expensive to transport. Thus, the further away a mine is from the markets it serves, the higher the transportation costs, and the higher the ultimate cost of the product. The current operations sit over an approximately 60 feet deep layer of high quality sand and the proposed expansion area has been found to also contain this same thickness of the resource. The location of the expansion area has inherent value in that it is directly adjacent to an existing processing facility. With this expansion, Immokalee Sand LLC will be able to use the plants, equipment and infrastructure developed and constructed at significant costs. Mining anywhere else will be more costly and less efficient due to lower yields, increased acreage impacts, and the inability to achieve economies of scale. This location will ultimately assist in reducing the environmental impact and additional cost of transporting unprocessed material from remote locations to the plant facility. If the project is not undertaken in its current location, transportation costs and impacts will be higher. The reduction of vehicle travel will ultimately assist in reducing the carbon footprint of the facility. The proposed mining expansion area is considered a part of the Immokalee Sand Mine and are included within the existing owned property. In addition, as mentioned above, expansion area is located directly adjacent to the existing mining and processing facilities within which the sand will be processed. Alternative sites would need to have the upland portions currently zoned for mining use and be directly adjacent to an existing in -operation processing plant facility that could be used to process the sand, thereby minimizing additional accesses onto public roadways and lessening the carbon footprint of the operation in reduced hauling. The only site meeting these requirements of equivalence is the nearby Stewart mine which is under current ownership of a competing mining company and is not available for purchase. The next level of research of alternate sites is for land areas directly adjacent to the existing mining operation which would provide access to sand that could be processed at the existing facilities. The areas to the north and west of the mine are currently in citrus grove production and are not available for mining. The area to the east of the existing mine contains a higher percentage of wetland areas. This land is not available for purchase for mining. State Road 82 lies to the south of the project site and would be a barrier to transport mined material across that busy highway to the processing plant. The following points summarize the alternative site assessment effort: • The sand resource is only located in a few locations within the area. There simply are not any other parcels with less wetlands having high quality sand available at adequate depth. The fact that the proposed area of mining provides a higher yield per acre means that the overall footprint of the mining is smaller than it would be at other locations. Overall, this means that this expansion uses less land than other areas, and therefore has less environmental impacts. • The expansion area is located directly adjacent to a processing facility so is unique and no other parcel in the area has this capability. The reduced travel distance will be an asset to Page 34 of 36 Page 566 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 the environment in reducing the ultimate carbon footprint of the operation. Utilizing other sites within the area would create the need for an additional processing plant which would add to the mining area footprint and lands needed for disturbance. • The mine site is located directly adjacent to SR 82 which is a major roadway corridor providing access to Collier, Lee, and Hendry Counties. • Finally, the subject site is located directly adjacent to the existing processing facility. Research of alternative sites equivalent to the expansion area reveals that no equivalent sites are available for mining by Immokalee Sand. After working through the alternatives, avoidance, and minimization criteria, any wetland impacts that cannot be avoided must be mitigated for. The following wetland mitigation is proposed to compensate for the unavoidable impacts. The wetland mitigation program proposed involves purchase of wetland mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank.. As demonstrated through UMAM calculations/analyses, it is anticipated that this mitigation program will compensate for the project's proposed wetland impacts. A. UMAM scores for wetlands to be impacted and the functional loss resulting from these impacts.

CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ANALYSIS Development of the Immokalee Sand Mine expansion area will necessitate impacts to two on - site wetlands that, together, total 6.6 acres. These wetlands are isolated and substantially degraded, with UMAM scores ranging from a low of 0.27 to a high of 0.43. The proposed mitigation credit purchase will compensate for these proposed impacts. In addition, the on -site wetland enhancement program will also improve the functional value of wetland and upland habitats located in the preserve area though this improvement is not being applied towards the project's mitigation requirements. The wetlands to be impacted are all located within the West Collier watershed (drainage basin). Since the proposed wetland impacts will be fully compensated by mitigation banks credits from a bank located in the same drainage basin as the impacts, there should be no adverse cumulative impacts upon wetlands and other surface waters within the drainage basin. The proposed project should not adversely affect the quality of receiving waters located in the drainage basin. Appropriate best management practices employed during project construction and operation will ensure protection of off -site water quality. The project's stormwater management system has been designed to provide water quality treatment and attenuation that meets applicable design standards/criteria. Because of this, discharges from the project's lake following mine reclamation should also not adversely impact water quality in off -site wetlands or OSWs. All the wetlands proposed for impacts are completely isolated, being surrounded by active agricultural operations. This factor, coupled with the disturbed and degraded characteristics of these wetlands and their small size, prevents the wetlands from having any appreciable current contributions to the water resources in the overall drainage basin. The Western Collier drainage basin is extensive and contains several areas where future development is either already permitted or is anticipated. It is assumed that other development projects in the basin seeking to impact wetlands similar to those on the Mine property will typically provide mitigation for these impacts in the same basin. It can also be reasonably assumed that this mitigation will fully compensate for the wetland functions lost via proposed impacts and that the projects will adequately protect regional water quality, otherwise the projects would not receive necessary permits. The impacts of these other projects combined with those of the Mine project should therefore not cause unacceptable cumulative impacts upon wetlands and OSWs in the Western Collier watershed.

Page 573 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE: APPENDIX B LISTED SPECIES UPDATE SUMMARY Prepared by: TURRELL, HALL & ASSOCIATES, INC. Marine & EnvironmentaI Consulting January 2025 Page 574 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update Page 11 1. INTRODUCTION This Immokalee Sand Mine encompasses approximately 896.7 acres located about 1 mile west of the intersection of Hwy 29 and State Road 82. These lands cover portions of Sections 6 and 7, Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Collier County, Florida. State (MMR_297420-009) and Federal {SAJ-2009-03476 (SP-WDD)) permits have been issued for this mine. Construction on the infrastructure and access roadway began in late 2019. To date, approximately 360 acres of the site has been converted from agricultural to mining operations. A requirement of the State permit is to provide a listed species survey update with the annual monitoring report. CEMEX contracted Turrell, Hall, & Associates, Inc. to perform pre -construction surveys over the areas associated with the access road from SR82 into the mine site as well as the on - site work areas. This report summarizes the results of Turrell, Hall, & Associates' listed species survey efforts. 2. EXISTING VEGETATION ASSOCIATIONS, LAND FORMS, AND LAND USES (FLUCFCS) 2.1 METHODOLOGY Vegetation associations, land forms, and land uses (FLUCFCS categories) present on and near the project site were mapped using direct field observations, interpretation of aerial photographs, and GPS mapping. Field observations were conducted primarily during the period from July through October 2008 and then updated in May and June 2015, December 2019 and January 2020, and November and December 2024 and January 2025. These observations included both pedestrian and ATV transects across the lands recording vegetation community characteristics as well as recording location points along the boundaries of certain communities/land forms using handheld GPS units. The FLUCFCS designations identified in 2015 were still consistent with current conditions The methods and class descriptions found in the Florida Land Use, Cover, and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS) manual (FDOT, 1999) were generally followed when delineating areas and assigning areas to an appropriate FLUCFCS category or "code". Level III classifications were generally employed. Certain modifications were made to the FLUCFCS class definitions presented in this manual in order to better describe and differentiate both plant communities and land uses. For simplicity purposes all drainage ditches and water retention areas are given a FLUCFCS code of other surface waters (OSW). 2.2 MAJOR FLUCFCS CATEGORIES Figure 2 of the Environmental exhibits illustrates detailed FLUCFCS map units present on the project lands and on immediately adjacent lands. Table 1 lists each of the FLUCFCS map unit codes present on the Mine property and total acreage encompassed by each FLUCFCS type.

LISTED SPECIES SURVEYS Wildlife and listed species surveys were conducted by Turrell, Hall, & Associates on the project lands. As used herein, the term "listed animal species" refers to those animals listed as endangered or threatened by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) or the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) as well as those animal species listed as species of special concern by the FWC. Several animal species listed by FWC are also classified (listed) by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) as wetland dependent species. Turrell, Hall, & Associates' wildlife/listed species surveys were supplemented by research concerning listed species. The following subsections document the effort and results of only the most recent survey over the project area. 3.1 DATABASE RESEARCH Prior to field investigations, color, false -color infrared, and black and white aerial photos, soils maps, and prior FLUCFCS mapping for the Mine property were reviewed to identify the various vegetation associations potentially present on and adjacent to project lands. Various publications and databases were reviewed to determine listed plant and wildlife species which could occur and those that had been previously documented on or near the project lands as well as to gather information concerning listed species. Based on the habitat types identified, existing knowledge of the project area, contacts with other consultants, and review of publications and databases, a preliminary list of animal species with the potential to occur within or near the project lands was determined. 3.2 FIELD BIOTIC SURVEY METHODOLOGY This most recent wildlife survey effort was conducted by Turrell, Hall, & Associates in November and December of 2024 and January 2025. Ongoing surveys are still underway to look for potential Caracara nesting on or near the project area. Surveys were conducted such that observations included time Page 576 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update P a g e 13 periods that covered both sunrise and sunset. Barring seasonal considerations, the survey dates allowed for observations during likely times of probable occurrence for the majority of the listed animal species which could occur on or immediately adjacent to the project lands. The field surveys consisted of ecologists walking in relatively straight and meandering transects through the various habitats found on the project lands. Space between transects usually varied, depending on type of habitat, visibility limits, and density of vegetation. Some observations were made from field vehicles driving slowly through open areas such as the interiors of active pasture fields. Observers were equipped with compass, aerials, wildlife and plant identification books and notes, binoculars, field notebooks, handheld GPS units, and cameras. Along the transects, the biologists periodically stopped, looked for wildlife and signs of wildlife, including tracks, and listened for wildlife vocalizations. The approximate location of observed listed wildlife and their numbers were mapped on aerials and recorded in field notebooks on a daily basis as were signs of listed wildlife species that were noted. In the same fashion, observed non -listed wildlife species encountered or signs of such species were recorded daily and photographs were taken when possible. When performing pedestrian transects through appropriate habitats, particular consideration was given to looking for signs of gopher tortoises and crested caracaras. Potentially suitable gopher tortoise habitats were surveyed for gopher tortoise tracks, scat, burrows, and individuals. These efforts included examining berms associated with the Mine property's fields (e.g. perimeter berms, larger berms along drainage ditches, etc.) and pasture areas as well as the more natural upland habitats present. Any cabbage palms and larger shrubs near the palms were examined for caracara nests. The field survey methodologies utilized on the project lands were generally consistent with those prescribed by the FWC. q A RFCI II TC 3.4.1 Research Results The review conducted of the various existing databases concerning documented listed species revealed only the caracara nesting documented by FDOT biologists in 2015. No other records of any listed animal species were documented on the project lands. Turrell, Hall, & Associates' review of these existing databases included searching records for documented listed species occurring within approximately 10,000 feet of the Mine property boundary. Listed animal species previously documented outside the project lands but within 10,000 feet of the Mine property included listed wading birds, caracaras, and Florida panther. Four wood stork colonies were also previously documented off -site in the query area. According to FWS a major reason for the wood stork decline has been the loss and degradation of feeding habitat and approximates their core foraging area to be an 18.6 mile radius around the rookery. Databases show four wood stork foraging areas which overlap the project lands. 3.4.2 Listed Animal Species Observed on the Immokalee Sand Mine Property Several different animal species, including some listed species, were observed during the course of Page 577 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update P a g e 14 Turrell, Hall, & Associates' wildlife/listed species surveys. Table 2 provides a listing of all the wildlife species observed on the Immokalee Sand Mine property during the course of these surveys. The following subsections briefly address the listed animal species observed onsite (i.e. within the Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary) and in the nearby areas. American Alligator Several American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) were observed on the property on multiple occasions. Alligators were observed within the main agricultural drainage ditches, specifically in the wider ditches in the northeastern portion of the property as well as in the small pond located adjacent to the access roadway. Most alligators observed were juveniles, however a couple of larger adults were also seen. It is likely that some alligators reside on -site throughout the majority of the year whereas others may typically reside in off -site wetlands, migrating to the Mine ditches and deeper wetlands when water levels decline in the off -site wetlands. Alligators are expected to move into the larger lake areas once the excavation activities are under way. They will not be impacted by the upcoming road access work. Crested Caracara Both the FWC and the FWS classify the crested caracara (Caracara cheriway) as a threatened species. Crested caracaras were observed on almost every site visit during the course of the survey. Caracaras were observed on or flying over the project lands during Turrell, Hall, & Associates' surveys. Subsequent survey of potential caracara habitats situated on the Mine property during the breeding season was conducted and no evidence of any caracara nesting was observed. Caracara nesting surveys have been conducted in 2009/10, 2013/14, 2016/17, 2018/19, 2019/20, and is currently underway for the 2024/25 season. No nesting was observed on the project site during any of these surveys. As outlined in the FWS BO, the cabbage palms at the front of the property were removed after the 2016/17 survey to ensure that nesting would not occur on the project lands prior to the start of the mining efforts. Also, in accordance with the FWS BO, a donation to the FWS caracara fund was made following the permit issuance as mitigation for potential impacts that might occur to caracaras as a result of the mining efforts. Considering the documented presence of these birds near the project, it is likely that several caracaras frequently hunt and forage in various habitats on the Mine property (e.g. row crop fields, pastures, edges of drainage ditches, etc.). It is also possible that caracaras may sometimes forage within the open wetland and upland habitats present within off -site areas similar to those found on -site. Based on the results of Turrell, Hall, & Associates' survey, it is clear that caracaras presently do not use any project lands for nesting purposes and nesting activities will not be adversely impacted by the mining operations. Little Blue Heron Little blue herons (Egretta caerulea) were observed on -site on two different occasions. One of these sightings involved a solitary heron foraging in the agricultural drainage ditches on the west boundary of the property. On the other occasion, a little blue heron was observed foraging along the shoreline of the Page 578 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update P a g e 15 small pond in the northeast portion of the property. No little blue heron nests were observed in any wetland areas nor were there signs of any past nesting activities by any wading birds. The little blue heron is an opportunistic feeder and travels long distances to find good feeding conditions, going where conditions are favorable, and food is potentially abundant. This is also the case with the other listed wading birds discussed below (i.e. snowy egret and tricolored heron). It is highly unlikely that these species ever nest within the on -site wetlands considering the proximity of the adjacent agricultural operations and the inappropriate habitat types present in some of the on -site wetlands. The observed listed wading birds certainly utilize the Mine property and portions of the on -site wetland areas for feeding purposes and occasionally roosting, but these species are not permanent residents. Snowy Egret Only one snowy egret (Egretta thula) was observed foraging within one of the pond areas on the Mine property. No snowy egret nests or signs of nesting were observed on -site or in the adjacent areas. Tricolored Heron Numerous tricolored herons (Egretta tricolor) were observed on different occasions foraging within the main agricultural drainage ditches on the Mine property and other wetland areas. One was observed foraging along the bank of the small pond that is adjacent to the access roadway. No tricolored heron nests or signs of nesting were observed on -site or in the adjacent areas. White Ibis The white ibis (Eudocimus albus) may sometimes forage in the Mine property's agricultural drainage ditches and some of the on -site wetlands when water levels are appropriate. Indications are that wetland areas mapped as 640 are rarely inundated for significant periods thereby reducing foraging potential in this wetland. However, ibis may forage inundated areas as well as pasture settings and even row crop fields, particularly when these fields are tilled. No signs of white ibis nests, wading bird rookeries, or fairly permanent roosting sites were found on the project lands. No ibis will be impacted by the access road construction. Florida Sandhill Crane There are two subspecies of sandhill cranes that can regularly be observed in Florida. These are the Florida sandhill crane (Grus canadensis pratensis) and the Eastern greater sandhill crane (Grus c. tabida), which arrives in Florida in October and begins spring migration in February. The two subspecies cannot be distinguished from each other in the field, however, sandhill cranes observed in Florida during May through September can be assumed to be the Florida sandhill crane. The Florida sandhill crane is listed by the FWC as a threatened species and as a wetland dependent species by SFWMD. The greater sandhill crane is not listed. Given the time of year when Turrell, Hall, & Associates performed biotic surveys for this project, it was assumed, but not confirmed, that the two sandhill cranes observed during the surveys were the listed Florida sandhill crane. A single sandhill crane nest was observed in SW-2 on the Mine property during the 2019/20 survey effort. No nesting was observed in this most recent effort. Habitats present on -site, including the on -site Page 579 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update P a g e 16 wetlands, are primarily not suitable for nesting. Although this species will sometimes nest in dry pastures (present on -site as FLUCFCS 211), cranes prefer nesting in open areas of standing shallow water such as wet prairies and shallow herbaceous marshes. It is deemed likely that Florida sandhill cranes visit open fields of the Mine property primarily for foraging purposes but could occasionally nest on -site. 3.4.4 Listed Animal Species Which Have the Potential to Occur On the Immokalee Sand Mine Property But Were Not Observed Although not observed on the project lands during the extensive listed species surveys, additional state and/or federally listed faunal species could potentially occur on the Mine property or on lands adjacent to the property. Based on habitats present within these areas, land uses, species observed near the project during biotic surveys, habitats present in the general area, review of various sources of information previously, and personal experience of project ecologists, assessments were made as to the probability of occurrence of other listed species on the project lands. Two species of mammals, 3 species of reptiles, 1 amphibian species, and 8 species of birds were considered to have some potential for occurring on the Mine property and/or on lands in the adjacent areas. Florida Panther Mitigation for potential impacts to panthers was provided as a component of the issued permits and FWS BO for the project. Additional mitigation will be required for the proposed expansion. As a result of the mitigation and habitat compensation, no adverse impacts to any panthers is expected. Florida Bonneted Bat No cavity trees or other potential roost sites will be impacted by the mining operations. Foraging activities can continue over the project lands. No impacts to bonneted bats is expected. Eastern Indigo Snake Mitigation for potential impacts to indigo snakes was provided as a component of the issued permits and FWS BO for the project. Additional mitigation may be required for the proposed expansion. As a result of the mitigation and habitat compensation, no adverse impacts to any indigo snakes is expected. Gopher Tortoise No gopher tortoise burrows were observed within the current project area and no impacts are expected to any tortoises as a result of the mining operations. Gopher Frog Gopher frogs (Rana capita), listed as a Species of Special Concern (SSC) by the FWC, are potential commensals with gopher tortoises. No gopher tortoises or signs of such tortoises (scat, tracks) were found within the project area so no impacts to gopher frogs are expected. Page 580 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update Page 17 Alligator Snapping Turtle Alligator Snapping Turtles (Macroclemys temmincki) are one of the largest freshwater turtles in the world. It can be distinguished by its very large head and the three prominent knobby ridges along its back. Although no snapping turtles were observed, they have the potential to inhabit drainage ditches and ponds on the project lands. It is expected that turtles within the agricultural will move into the mining lakes as the operation moves forward. Wading Birds Wading bird foraging activities will continue on the site as the mining operations continue. No nesting has been observed or documented on the project site. No impacts to wading birds is expected. 3.4.5 General Wildlife Observations During the biotic surveys conducted on the project lands, ecologists recorded sightings and signs of non - listed wildlife in addition to listed species. Table 2 contains all wildlife observed on the project lands. Signs and observations of larger mammals, such as bobcat, wild boar, and white-tailed deer, were observed in portions of the Mine property. Other mammals observed on the Mine property were armadillo, opossum, raccoon, eastern cottontail, and marsh rabbit. Observations of non -listed bird species were generally widely scattered and low in number. Although several species of non -listed birds are indicated in Table 2, the actual number of individuals and number of species observed during any given period of wildlife observations was typically low. A few of the non -migratory bird species may reside on the project lands, however no nests were observed. Observations of non -listed herpes were largely restricted to the Mine property's agricultural drainage ditches. On one occasion a ring-necked snake was seen in the mapped area 640 with a small frog in its mouth. 3.4.6 Listed Plant Species No federally listed plant species have been documented in this area of Collier County (USFWS, 2006b). No listed plant species were observed on the project lands during the course of the listed species/wildlife surveys conducted and a review of pertinent databases concerning listed plant species found no records of such plants occurring on project lands or within 10,000 feet of these lands. Considering these points, it seems highly improbable that any plant species currently listed by FWS may be present on project lands.

Signage will also be maintained during the life of the Mine operation. This material will contain: illustrations of the species discussed in the following subsections; general descriptions of these species; potential habitats in which each species may occur; as applicable, descriptions and/or illustrations of species nests/burrows/dens; general protocols and procedures to follow if a particular species or species nest/burrow/den is encountered, and; contact information for parties to be notified if a particular species or species nest/burrow/den is encountered. These pamphlets will emphasize that harming or harassing listed species as well as disturbing or damaging a listed species nest/burrow/den is strictly prohibited. ALLIGATORS Several American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) have been documented on the Immokalee Sand Mine property utilizing the larger agricultural ditches (includes ditches used for drainage and irrigation purposes) and some of the on -site wetlands. These alligators likely include individuals that frequent the property on an occasional basis and individuals that reside in appropriate habitats on a relatively permanent basis. To protect alligators during project construction and mining activities, modifications to the existing on -site drainage ditches and wetlands will be conducted mindful of the potential presence of alligators. Egress points, for alligators to move out of the area being filled or excavated, will be made available. Mine employees, contractors, and other field personnel will be notified that alligators may be present and that construction and mining activities must be conducted to minimize the potential for alligators to be harmed. Should an alligator occupying an on -site ditch or wetland that is being cleared, filled, or excavated not initially leave the area on its own accord through the established egress point(s), all activities that might harm the alligator will be ceased temporarily and will not be resumed until the alligator has departed the area. If it appears the alligator may not leave the area, a designated mine employee will contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) Nuisance Alligator Hotline (1-866-392-4286) for further direction. It may be necessary for a duly licensed nuisance alligator trapper to capture the alligator and relocate it. Captured alligators may be relocated to other areas in the general project vicinity that are under the control of the current property owner. Potential relocation areas include existing agricultural ditches far from the habitat areas slated for impacts or other suitable off -site wetlands. No more than 3 weeks prior to conducting activities that will impact on -site wetland or surface water, the area to be impacted will be inspected by a qualified environmental professional. If an active alligator nest site is found during this inspection, the FWC will be contacted by the mine operator for further guidance. No work that could harm the nest site will be conducted without authorization from FWC. The Page 585 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 12 FWC may direct that the alligator eggs be removed and relocated by a licensed nuisance alligator trapper prior to resuming work that will impact the nest site. No disturbance of any alligator nests shall be allowed without first obtaining an appropriate permit from FWC. Typically, alligators lay their eggs in late June or early July with the eggs hatching in late August or September, however, this nesting period may vary. Should an aggressive alligator be encountered, workers should contact the FWC by phoning the Nuisance Alligator Hotline (1-866-FWC-GATOR is current number; may change over time). Mine workers are prohibited from taking any actions against alligators. LISTED WADING BIRDS Little blue herons (Egretta caerulea), snowy egrets (Egretta thula), white ibis (Eudocimus albus), and tricolored herons (Egretta tricolor) have been documented foraging in various agricultural ditches and certain wetlands on the Immokalee Sand Mine property. Other listed wading birds may also occasionally visit the on -site ditches, some of the on -site wetlands, and appropriate wetland habitats in nearby off - site areas. These species could theoretically include roseate spoonbill (Ajaja ajaja) and limpkin (Aramus guarauna). No listed wading bird nests or rookeries have been found on the Immokalee Sand Mine property or in the nearby areas. Although it is unlikely that any of the cited listed wading birds will establish nests within the on -site wetlands or in the wetlands present in the adjacent areas, this possibility cannot be completely ignored. No more than 3 weeks prior to conducting any activities that will impact a particular on -site wetland during the nesting season (i.e. clearing, excavation, filling), a qualified environmental professional will inspect the wetland for the presence of listed wading bird nests. Similarly, no more than 3 weeks prior to conducting any mitigation activities that will significantly disturb an existing wetland areas during the nesting season (i.e. grading activities, initial clearing/removal of larger Brazilian pepper shrubs and trees), a qualified environmental professional will also inspect the wetland for the presence of listed wading bird nests. If active nests are found, a buffer zone extending approximately 300 feet beyond the nests in all directions will be established. No activities that might disturb the nests or nesting activities will be conducted in the established buffer zone until after the eggs have hatched and the surviving young birds have fledged and left the nests. Field personnel will be notified of the presence of the nest site(s) and buffer zones, which will be clearly marked, and advised to that any activities near the buffer zones should be conducted to minimize the potential for disruption of nesting. WOOD STORKS Wood storks (Mycteria americana) have not been documented foraging on the Immokalee Sand Mine property, however the site does contain potential foraging area. No wood stork nests, wood stork nesting colonies, or wood stork roosting sites have been found on the Mine property or in nearby areas. The nearest known wood stork colony is situated approximately 8.5 miles east of the eastern Mine property boundary. Existing wetlands on the Mine property do not contain habitats suitable for wood stork nesting nor are these habitats suitable for establishment of long-term wood stork roosting sites. Despite the extremely low probability that storks may establish a nesting colony or important roosting Page 586 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 13 site within the project lands sometime in the future, a wood stork protection plan will be implemented as part of the Mine project. Prior to conducting any activities that will impact a given on -site wetland and prior to conducting initial mitigation activities in wetlands areas, a qualified environmental professional will inspect the wetland for the presence of wood stork nests, for wood storks, and for signs of wood stork roosting. Similar inspections will be conducted prior to conducting mining activities within approximately 1,000 feet of these wetlands. Inspections will be performed no more than 3 weeks prior to the anticipated starting date of the activities that could affect wood stork nesting/roosting. If wood stork nests are found or if an important roosting site is documented (site that may be used annually and/or by flocks of 25 or more storks), all mine construction activities or mechanized mitigation activities (as applicable) within approximately 1,000 feet of the nest site or roosting site will be halted. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will then be contacted for guidance in developing an appropriate management plan that will help ensure adequate protection for the discovered site and the wood storks utilizing the site. Should this scenario arise, the permittee will generate an appropriate management plan in consultation with FWS, submit the plan to FWS for their review and approval, and will then implement and abide by the management plan. The mitigation activities proposed within the Preserve area will substantially improve the habitat qualities of the existing wetlands. These improvements will eventually restore certain habitats that could be used by wood storks for foraging purposes. The Immokalee Sand Mine wetland mitigation program includes conducting annual monitoring of the mitigation areas. If the first initiation of Mine blasting activities will begin 2 weeks before or during the typical wood stork nesting season (February through June), a survey for off -site wood stork nesting sites (nesting colonies) will be conducted. This survey will cover all potentially suitable wood stork nesting habitats located within approximately 1,000 feet of the Mine property boundary. It will likely consist of a combination of observations along pedestrian transects and aerial observations conducted over a period of at least 5 days with the survey focusing on times near dusk and dawn. If no nesting sites/colonies are found, blasting will commence upon completion of the survey. If an active nesting colony is located, FWS will be contacted for further guidance and an appropriate management/protection plan will be generated in consultation with FWS. The plan will be submitted to FWS for their review and approval and will subsequently be implemented. Under this scenario, initiation of the first blasting activities would not be started until appropriate authorization has been obtained from FWS. FLORIDA SANDHILL CRANES A couple Florida sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis pratensis) have been documented foraging in fields located on the Immokalee Sand Mine property. One crane nest was observed on -site during the 2020 survey update. It is doubtful that sandhill cranes will elect to establish nests on the Mine property at some point in the future but the possibility, although remote, cannot be overlooked. There will be suitable nesting habitat within the proposed preserve area. Page 587 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 14 No longer than 3 weeks prior to conducting construction activities that will impact potentially "suitable" Florida sandhill crane nesting habitats on the Mine property (i.e. clearing, grading, excavation, filling), the areas will be inspected by a qualified environmental profession to determine if any active crane nests are present. These habitats are limited to the Preserve area and, to a lesser degree, the wet prairie area in the southwestern corner of the property. Three weeks prior to commencement of Mine construction activities, a survey will also be conducted in potentially suitable crane nesting habitats present in off -site lands located within approximately 750 feet of the Mine property boundaries immediately adjacent to the portion of the Mine that will contain the Mine operations center (i.e. containing the office buildings, asphalt batch plant, tailings pond, and aggregate processing/stockpile area). Similarly, no more than 3 weeks prior to conducting initial mitigation activities in the Preserve area that could disturb potential crane nests (i.e. grading activities, removal of larger Brazilian pepper shrubs), the wetland areas within the mitigation area will be inspected. If an active Florida sandhill crane nest is found, a buffer zone extending approximately 740 feet beyond the nest in all directions will be established. No activities that might disturb the nests or nesting activities will be conducted in the established buffer zone until after the eggs are hatched and the surviving young birds have left the nest. Field personnel will be notified of the presence of the nest site(s) and buffer zones, which will be clearly marked, and advised that any activities near the buffer zones should be conducted to minimize the potential for disruption of nesting. If the first initiation of Mine blasting activities will begin 2 weeks before or during the typical sandhill crane breeding season (beginning of January through June), a survey for off -site sandhill crane nests will be conducted. This survey will cover all potentially suitable crane nesting habitats located within approximately 2,500 feet of the limits of the area proposed for blasting. It will consist of field observations gathered along pedestrian transects conducted over a period of at least 5 days. If no active nest is found, blasting will commence upon completion of the survey. If an active nest is found within the 1,000 feet of the proposed blasting area, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will be contacted for further guidance and an appropriate management/protection plan will be generated in consultation with FWC. The plan will be submitted to FWC for their review and approval and will subsequently be implemented. Under this scenario, initiation of the first blasting activities would not be started until appropriate authorization has been obtained from FWC. Alternatively, the first blasting activities may be relocated such that they are over 1,000 feet from the active nest site and the blasting restricted to areas >1,000 feet from the nest site until such time as the young have left the active nest. CRESTED CARACARAS Many crested caracaras (Caracara cheriway) have been observed on the Mine property, however no caracara nests been found on -site. Caracaras have been observed in areas surrounding the Mine property, suggesting that potential nesting areas are nearby. There is a remote possibility that caracaras could establish an on -site nest prior to commencement of Mine construction, hence pre -clearing surveys will be performed. Page 588 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 15 An on -site survey for caracaras and their nests will be performed during the first breeding season preceding commencement of Mine clearing/construction activities proposed in the Mine property and in nearby off -site areas. This survey will cover the existing remnant strip of cabbage palm/pine flatwoods/woodland pasture habitat that extends along the eastern boundary. Observations will be made along pedestrian transects and stationary points during the mornings and evenings (crepuscular). The survey will be conducted 6 times (on 6 different days) during the period from January through March with 4 to 7 days between each survey event. If a caracara nest is found, the nest location will be marked and the FWS will be contacted for further guidance. No Mine clearing/construction activities will commence within the primary management zone (300 meter radius surrounding nest) or the secondary management zone (1,000 meter radius surrounding nest) associated with the nest until appropriate authorization is obtained from FWS. Under this scenario, a Special Purpose Permit may also need to be acquired from FWC should FWS recommend removal (incidental take) of the nest tree during the non - nesting season. An off -site survey for caracaras and their nests will also be performed during the first breeding season preceding commencement of Mine clearing/construction activities. This survey will be performed in the same manner as the on -site survey and will cover potentially suitable caracara nesting habitats present in the immediate vicinity of the Mine and the Mine entry road (i.e. State Road 82 west of Highway 29). The exact areas that will be covered by these off -site surveys will be determined during the course of consultation with FWS which will occur during the application processing period associated with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Section 404 Permit needed for the Mine project. Measures necessary to help ensure protection of off -site nests located during this survey as well as appropriate measures to help minimize the project's potential secondary impacts to caracaras will also be determined via consultation with FWS. Some of these measures may include: • Prohibit Mine traffic from idling on that portion of the entry road (State Road 82) located within the primary management zone associated with the currently known caracara nest tree. Post "no idling / no parking" notification signs on the entry road at the limits of this primary zone. • During the initial Mine construction activities and throughout the operational life of the Mine, conduct daily roadkill surveys along those portions of the entry road and Highway 29 located within the primary and secondary management zones associated with the currently known caracara nest tree. Move any roadkill found to a distance at least 25 feet beyond the shoulder of these roads. • Monitoring of certain caracaras during the breeding season to determine how they respond to Mine traffic and mining activities. FLORIDA PANTHERS Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi) have not been documented on the project lands but have been documented in more natural habitats present in the general vicinity of the Mine property. Certain measures will be taken to help minimize potential impacts of traffic generated by the Mine project to panthers. These measures will include: Page 589 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 16 • A large sign will be posted in a conspicuous location on the Mine property visible to all vehicles leaving the site. This sign will notify drivers that panthers may cross State Road 82 or even the project entry road, will advise them of the location of the primary potential wildlife crossing corridors (i.e. road crossing zones) along Highway 29near the Mine, and will warn them to drive carefully in these areas to avoid collisions with panthers and other wildlife. This sign will also include a graphic map illustrating the primary potential wildlife crossing zones near the Mine. • Vehicles hauling (transporting) aggregate will prohibited from leaving or entering the Mine property during the period between one-half hour after sunset and 5:00 AM each day. Lighting used to illuminate the main Mine operations area (i.e. far west side of site containing the aggregate processing/stockpile area, tailings pond, office and maintenance buildings, parking lot) will be equipped with shielding to help reduce light spillage onto off -site lands. EASTERN INDIGO SNAKES Eastern indigo snakes (Drymarchon corais couperi) have not been documented on the Immokalee Sand Mine property but could theoretically be present. Because the eastern indigo snake is protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, there are civil and criminal penalties for injuring, harming, harassing or killing this species. The permittee and/or the permittee's contractors may be held responsible for any eastern indigo snakes harmed, harassed, or killed as a result of Immokalee Sand Mine construction activities. To help avoid harm to these snakes and to help maintain any existing populations, the permittee will engage in a protection program during initial stages of Mine construction activities (i.e. clearing, excavation, filling) on -site as well as during initial mitigation activities in the conservation areas (i.e. initial clearing and grading activities, initial mechanized eradication of exotic plants). The elements of this plan are described in the following paragraphs. Educational pamphlets will be prepared and distributed to all mitigation and construction crews prior to commencement of construction and mitigation activities. These pamphlets will generally describe laws pertaining to the eastern indigo snake, characteristics of the snake (description, habitats, etc.), protocols and procedures to follow if an eastern indigo snake is encountered, and telephone numbers of pertinent agencies to be contacted if an indigo snake is found dead. If an eastern indigo snake is sighted during clearing/construction operations, the following measures will be taken: (1) Immediately cease construction/clearing activities in the area of the sighting; (2) Notify the construction or mitigation supervisor, as applicable, and the designated biologist of the sighting; (3) Allow the snake to move out of the construction/clearing area on its own before resuming construction/clearing activities in the area of sighting, or; (4) If the snake remains within or immediately adjacent to the construction/clearing area, the designated biologist will capture the snake, at which time construction/clearing operations can resume, and will relocate it to a suitable area off -site that is within the immediate project vicinity. Only the designated biologist shall come in contact with or relocate an eastern indigo snake. Any snake captured will be immediately released into appropriate habitat. Indigo Page 590 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 17 snakes are to be held in captivity only long enough to transport them to the release site. At no time will two or more snakes be kept in the same container during transport. The designated biologist, or another qualified biologist acting under the direction and supervision of the designated biologist, will be present during the first week of major Mine construction clearing/grading activities that occur in potentially suitable indigo snake habitats. Thereafter, said biologist will conduct spot checks of these areas during initial clearing/construction operations as deemed necessary by the biologist. The biologist will also be present during the first week of the initial clearing and grubbing activities in the project's conservation areas. Following this, the biologist will conduct spot checks of affected portions of the conservation areas during initial clearing, grubbing, and grading activities and during initial mechanized exotic eradication activities as deemed necessary by the biologist. The purpose of these inspections will be to monitor construction/clearing areas for the presence of eastern indigo snakes and to help ensure that appropriate measures are being taken to protect this species. The permittee will submit a report to the US Fish and Wildlife Service summarizing activities pertaining to the eastern indigo snake (for each major project phase) and will provide the US Army Corps of Engineers with a copy of the report. Each report shall be submitted within 60 days of the completion of land clearing/grading/initial construction activities and will include: (1) Any sightings of eastern indigo snakes and general locations of such sightings; (2) Summary information concerning any relocated snakes (e.g., capture area, snake characteristics, date captured and relocated, area of relocation); (3) Summary of site inspection dates. GOPHER TORTOISES AND COMMENSALS Burrows were found along the northwestern berm along the very edge of the property, although none appeared to be currently inhabited by a gopher tortoise. Most burrows were inactive and the few that were active had armadillo tracks and scat in the area and leading to the burrows. It is unlikely that any gopher tortoises currently reside on the Mine property, however a management plan will be implemented given that a dead gopher tortoise was found near the property off of State Road 82. Prior to any clearing or construction activities, another gopher tortoise survey will be completed. This will include qualified biologists examining the site in walking transects to scout any active burrows. Should any gopher tortoise burrows be located, a permit from FWC will be obtained to relocate any species off -site, including listed commensals such as the gopher frog. This relocation procedure will follow all FWC regulations.

The proposed preserve area is a remnant wetland located in the south west corner of the project site. This Plan outlines the enhancement and protection activities proposed within this preserve area. It also outlines the monitoring efforts that will be done to track and document the success of the creation and restoration efforts. Wetland and upland activities are outlined below. The codes used correspond to the mitigation plan exhibits that are included with this plan. Wet Prairie — (Map FLUCFCS Code 643) This existing wetland occurs in a disturbed area in the southwest corner of the property. Plant cover is variable and mainly consists of native herbaceous wetland species and a few woody exotic and nuisance species. Eradication of the exotic and nuisance species using non - mechanized methods will be undertaken but no other enhancement activities are proposed. Presently the area is occasionally mown during the dry season. It is desirable to retain this area in its existing state due to its value for wading birds. Mowing activities will be suspended unless necessary for the road right-of-way maintenance or to control colonization by large woody species. This area will be separated from the mining operations and maintained in its existing condition. It is not being utilized for any mitigation requirements associated with the project. Supplemental planting should not be necessary but if in the future, conditions warrant planting of this area, the following species would be candidates for the planting palette. Sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) Maidencane (Panicum virgatum) Cordgrasses (Spartina spp.) Spike Rushes (Eleocharis spp.) St. Johns Wort (Hypericum spp.) Spiderlily (Hymenocallis palmeri) Swamplily (Crinum americanum) Yellow -eyed Grass (Xeric ambigua) Whitetop Sedge (Dichromena colorata) Dry Prairie — (Map FLUCFCS Code 310) These existing uplands will provide a protective buffer around the proposed wetland preserve. The area is dominated by domestic and native grasses, with a few cabbage palms and Brazilian pepper scattered throughout. This area will be maintained as an open prairie with scattered canopy trees. Potential species to be utilized in supplemental planting activities would include the following. Canopy: Cabbage Palm (Saba) palmetto) Dahoon Holly (Ilex cassine) Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii) Groundcover: Wiregrass (Aristida stricta) Broomsedge (Andropogon spp.) Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaries) Mid -story: Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) Myrsine (Rapenea punctata) Gallberry (Ilex glabra) Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera) Other appropriate native vegetation may be substituted if availability or on site conditions require amendments to the recommended planting list. Page 2 of 4 Page 593 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine Preserve Management Plan Hydrologic Enhancement of Wetlands: An important component of the wetland mitigation program is improvement of hydrologic conditions (hydrology and hydroperiod) within preservation area wetlands. Currently the water table in the fields adjacent to the preserve area are managed (i.e. fields are de -watered) by pumping water out of field rim ditches and lateral ditches. This water is discharged via throw out pumps to the east of the property. This practice severely disrupts the normal wetland hydroperiod. Once the mining program has been established, agricultural pumping of water off of the property will be eliminated. This will help restore stable hydroperiods that are more typical of natural wetland conditions, prevent artificial over -inundation or drawdown of wetlands, and improve water quality. Protection of Wetlands and Uplands via Conservation Easements: The preserve area will be placed under appropriate conservation easements which will protect the future integrity of the created, restored, and enhanced wetlands and uplands encompassed by the conservation area. The easements will ensure that the conservation areas are preserved and protected in perpetuity. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Maintenance Eradication of Exotic and Nuisance Plants: All exotic vegetation will be removed from the preserve areas which will be maintained in perpetuity to ensure that the areas are free from exotic/invasive plant species immediately following maintenance events and such that exotic and nuisance plane species will constitute no more then 5% of the total plant cover in the interim between these maintenance events. Exotic invasive plant species will include Category I and Category II species identified in the current "Invasive Plant List" published by the Florida Exotic Pest Plan Council (FLEPPC) as well as Class I and Class II Prohibited Aquatic Plants listed in Chapter 62C-52.011, Florida Administrative Code. Nuisance plant species will include native plant species deemed detrimental due to their potential adverse competition with desirable native species. Visual inspection for exotic, non-native and nuisance plant invasion will be conducted annually and all exotic, non-native and nuisance vegetation including those defined by County codes and the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, found within the preserve areas will be flagged, mapped and reported for treatment. Exotic and nuisance ground covers will be treated with a U.S. EPA approved herbicide and visible tracer dye. These maintenance activities will be performed in perpetuity as needed. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Removal of Cattle and Fencing: All of the Preserve area is currently grazed by cattle on a rotational basis. This cattle grazing has restricted development of desirable ground cover, and to a lesser degree, sub -canopy plant species. Much of the on -site Preserve is also occasionally managed for rangeland grazing via measures such as mowing. Cattle will no longer be allowed to graze on the preserve lands and rangeland management practices will be discontinued. This should increase the growth, development, and diversity of native plant assemblages by removing the grazing and management pressures. Wetland and Upland Preserve Delineation: The Preserve will be clearly delineated with appropriate signage both during and after construction activities. Protective barricades will be used to cordon off construction areas and keep construction equipment out of preserve areas. A double row of silt fence will be used along preserve areas to separate them from the construction activities. The silt fence will remain in place until the perimeter berm is installed around the area of excavation. Appropriate signage will be placed along the perimeter of the preserves at 100 to 150 foot spacing. Page 3 of 4 Page 594 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine Preserve Management Plan Preserve Monitoring: All exotic vegetation, as defined by County Code, and all Category I invasive exotic plants, as defined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, shall be removed from within preserve areas and subsequent annual removal of these plants (in perpetuity) shall be the responsibility of the property owner. Preserves shall be maintained in their natural state and must be kept free of refuse and debris. Annual monitoring reports in accordance with required annual inspections of the preserve by the preserve manager shall be provided to Collier County upon request. Preserves will be inspected, at a minimum, on an annual basis. The goal of the annual inspections as outlined in this monitoring plan is to enable evaluation and characterization of preserved areas over time and document progress through a series of scheduled monitoring reports. The reports will quantify and describe conditions within the managed areas, comparing observations with proposed standards and offering advice for corrective actions if needed. These reports shall at a minimum address exotic and nuisance vegetation removal, restoration plantings, management for listed species and general maintenance needs for the preserve. Monitoring Techniques: Meandering transects will be followed in the preserve areas for vegetation inventory and exotic, non-native and nuisance species observations. Preserves will be inspected annually in perpetuity. Reports in accordance with County requirements will be generated for a minimum of five years to provide detailed information as to the ongoing status of the restoration and enhancement activities. A Baseline Report will describe the existing conditions prior to enhancement activities. Photo points will be established in areas to monitor the understory growth of these sub -climax ecosystems. The time zero report will describe the aerial extent of exotic, non-native and nuisance removal and other restoration work, i.e., re -vegetation, photographs from referenced locations, qualitative observations of wildlife use and other information such as climatic and hydrological conditions and health of the existing vegetation. Subsequent reports will continue to monitor these same parameters. Transects will be established along with plot sampling stations to determine percent survival and percent coverage of planted and recruited plant species. Prior to this report, the conservation easements shall have been recorded in the Collier County public records for the preserve/mitigation lands. Baseline, Time Zero and Annual reports will include: • quantification of any regeneration of exotic, non-native and nuisance species and recommendations for remedial actions, where applicable. • quantification of re -vegetation of cleared areas by native species. • percent coverage, open space and water depths, as appropriate. • direct and indirect wildlife observations. • site hydrological characteristics. • site specific rainfall data. • photographs from referenced locations. A photo -point from PVC labeled stake will be established. • photographs of upland/wetland preservation areas. • Monitoring well will be installed as part of the excavation activities. The closest well will be set up to collect data once a day throughout the year. • Preserve manager responsible for report.

Almy - Project Manager Lee Hutchinson - Project Archaeologist Rudy Westerman and Grant Stauffer - Archaeologists March 2016 Page 597 of 1180 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A Cultural Resource Assessment Survey (CRAS) for the ±900 Immokalee Sand Mine property in Collier County, Florida, was performed by Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (ACI) in February and March 2016. The purpose of this survey was to locate and identify any cultural resources within the property and to assess their significance in terms of eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). This survey was conducted in compliance with a request from the Florida Division of Historical Resources (FDHR 2010 and Bendus 2016) and meets requirements set forth in Chapters 267 and 373, Florida Statutes (FS), Florida's Coastal Management program, and implementing state regulations regarding possible impact to significant historical properties, as well as Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, per U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requirements. Archaeological: Review of the Florida Master Site File (FMSF), and the NRHP, indicated that no archaeological sites have been previously recorded within the Immokalee Sand Mine property. Background research indicated a moderate to low potential for the presence of archaeological sites within the survey area. As a result of field survey, no archaeological sites were found but two archaeological occurrences (AO) were found. According to the FMSF, an AO is defined as "the presence of one or two nondiagnostic artifacts, not known to be distant from their original context which fit within a hypothetical cylinder of 30 meters diameter, regardless of depth below surface." Thus, occurrences are not recorded as sites but do note prehistoric activity within the general area. Historic Structures: Review of the FMSF and the NRHP indicated that no historic structures (50 years of age or older) have been previously recorded within the Immokalee Sand Mine property, and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Immokalee, Fla. Quadrangle map (1958, PR 1987) indicated no potential for the presence of historic structures within the survey area. As a result of field survey, no historic structures were identified or recorded within the project area. Based on these findings, project development/mining of the property will have no impact on any significant cultural resources, including those properties listed, determined eligible, or considered potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP. No further research is recommended.

The project area is located within Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Sections 6 and 7 (Figure 1.1). This survey complies with Chapters 267 and 373, Florida Statutes (FS), Florida's Coastal Management Program, and implementing state regulations regarding possible impact to historic properties listed, or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as well as Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The resulting report meets the standards contained in Chapter 1A-46, Florida Administrative Code and follows the guidelines in the Cultural Resource Management Standards and Operational Manual (Florida Division of Historical Resources [FDHR] 2003). 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this CRAS was to locate and identify any prehistoric and historic period archaeological sites and historic structures located within the Immokalee property, and to assess their significance in terms of eligibility for listing in the NRHP. The historical and archaeological survey was conducted in February and March 2016.

Page 602 of 1180 2-1 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW The Immokalee Sand Mine property is located in Sections 6 and 7 of Township 46 South, Range 29 East, north of the city of Immokalee and immediately north of SR 82, a mile west of SR 29 in northwest Collier County (Figure 2.1). Wetlands are abundant in the region. Corkscrew Swamp and Baucom Cypress Strand are located south of the project area. In addition, Lake Trafford lies approximately three miles west of the property. The project area is comprised of about 850 acres of upland and approximately 32 acres of surface waters including ponds, drainage ditches, and 15 acres of wetlands. In addition, agricultural lands include row crops, cattle pasture, and citrus groves - the trees having been removed in 2013. Mining of the property will include approximately 606.85 acres which will be excavated. Future land use will include a 589-acre lake, 144 acres of dry prairie, 73 acres of roads, 40 acres of citrus, 20 acres of freshwater marsh, 13 acres of wet prairie, 6 acres of palm hammock, 6 acres of willow marsh, 6 acres of ditches and 1 acre of herbaceous wetlands (Cemex Construction Materials Florida, LLC). The area lies in the Unnamed Ditches drainage sub basin of the West Caloosahatchee drainage basin of the Caloosahatchee river water shed. Following are representative samples of what the project currently looks like (Photos 2.1-2.6). Photo 2.1. South view of relict citrus grove on property.

Paleoenvironmental Considerations: The prehistoric environment of Collier County and the surrounding area was different from that which is seen today. Sea levels were much lower, the climate was drier, and potable water was scarce. Given the changes in water resource availability, botanical communities, and faunal resources, an understanding of human ecology during the earliest periods of human occupation in Florida cannot be founded upon observations of the modern environment. Aboriginal inhabitants would have developed cultural adaptations in response to the environmental changes taking place. These alterations were reflected in prehistoric settlement patterns, site types, site locations, artifact forms, and variations in the resources used. Dunbar (1981:95) notes that due to the and conditions during the period between 16,500 and 12,500 years ago, "the perched water aquifer and potable water supplies were absent." Palynological studies conducted in Florida and Georgia suggest that between 13,000 and 5000 years ago, this area was covered with an upland vegetation community of scrub oak and prairie (Watts 1969, 1971, 1975). The rise of sea level severely reduced xeric habitats over the next several millennia. By 5000 years ago, southern pine forests were replacing the oak savannahs. Extensive marshes and swamps developed along the coasts and subtropical hardwood forests became established along the southern tip of Florida (Delcourt and Delcourt 1981). Northern Florida saw an increase in oak species, grasses and sedges (Carbone 1983). At Lake Annie in south-central Florida, pollen cores are dominated by wax myrtle and pine. The assemblage suggests that by this time a forest dominated by longleaf pine, along with cypress swamps and bayheads, existed in the area (Watts 1971, 1975). Roughly five millennia ago, surface water was plentiful in karst terrains and the level of the Floridan aquifer rose to five feet above present levels. After this time, modern floral and climatic and environmental conditions began to be established (Watts 1975). With the onset of the modern environmental conditions, numerous micro -environments were available to the aboriginal inhabitants in the area. By 4000 B.C.E., ground water had reached current levels, and the shift to warmer, moister conditions saw the appearance of hardwood forests, bayheads, cypress swamps, prairie, and marshlands. P16006 Page 607 of 1180 3-1 3.0 CULTURAL HISTORY A discussion of the culture history of a region provides a framework within which the local archaeological and historic records can be examined. Archaeological and historic sites are not individual entities, but are the remains of once dynamic cultural systems. As a result, they cannot be adequately examined or interpreted without reference to other sites and resources within the area. In general, archaeologists summarize the culture history of an area (i.e., an archaeological region) by outlining the sequence of archaeological cultures through time. These cultures are defined largely in geographical terms but also reflect shared environmental and cultural factors. The project area is situated within the Caloosahatchee region (Figure 3.1), which extends from Charlotte Harbor on the north to the northern border of the Ten Thousand Islands on the south and inland about 54 miles (Carr and Beriault 1984:4, 12; Griffin 1988; Milanich 1994). The Caloosahatchee region is better understood after the introduction of pottery (ca. 500 BCE [Before Common Era]). Prior to this, regional characteristics of native populations are not easily identified, as malleable materials such as textiles and basketry, which lend themselves to cultural expression, are typically destroyed by environmental processes. With the arrival of pottery, the clay medium provided both a means of cultural expression and an archaeologically durable artifact. Thus, the use of pottery as a marker of cultural diversity probably post-dates the inception of distinct Florida cultures by many centuries. The aceramic Paleo-Indian and Archaic periods are followed by the Caloosahatchee cultural sequence (500 BCE to 1500 CE [Common Era]) at which point the bearers of the Caloosahatchee culture enter into the ethnographic record as the Calusa Indians. The following overview is based on data from Griffin (1988, 2002), Widmer (1988), and Milanich (1994). The local history of the region is divided into four broad periods based initially upon the major governmental powers. The first period, Colonialism, occurred during the exploration and control of Florida by the Spanish and British from around 1513 until 1821. At that time, Florida became a territory of the United States and 21 years later became a State (Territorial and Statehood). The Civil War and Aftermath (1861-1899) period deals with the Civil War, the period of Reconstruction following the war, and the late 1800s, when the transportation systems were dramatically increased and development throughout the state expanded. The Twentieth Century period has subperiods defined by important historic events such as the World Wars, the Boom of the 1920s, and the Depression. Each of these periods evidenced differential development and utilization of the region, thus effecting the historic archeological site distribution. 3.1 Paleo-Indian The Paleo-Indian stage is the earliest known cultural manifestation in Florida, dating from roughly 12,000 to 7500 BCE (Milanich 1994). Archaeological evidence for Paleo-Indians consists primarily of scattered finds of diagnostic lanceolate -shaped projectile points. The Florida peninsula at this time was quite different than today. In general, the climate was cooler and drier with vegetation typified by xerophytic species with scrub oak, pine, open grassy prairies, and savannas being the most common (Milanich 1994:40). When human populations were arriving in Florida, the sea levels were still as much as 40 to 60 m (130-200 ft) below present levels and coastal regions of Florida extended miles beyond present-day shorelines (Faught 2004). Thus, many of these sites have been inundated (cf., Faught and Donoghue 1997).

Florida Archaeological Regions. The project area (*) is within the Caloosahatchee Region. Page 609 of 1180 3-3 The Paleo-Indian period has been sub -divided into three horizons based upon characteristic tool forms (Austin 2001). Traditionally, it is believed that the Clovis Horizon (10,500-9000 BCE) represents the initial occupation of Florida and is defined based upon the presence of the fluted Clovis points. These are somewhat more common in north Florida, although Robinson (1979) does illustrate a few points from the central Gulf Coast area. However, recent work, may indicate that Suwannee and Simpson points are contemporary with or predate Clovis (Dunbar 2006a; Stanford 1991). The Suwannee Horizon (9000-8500 BCE) is the best known of the Paleo-Indian horizons. The lanceolate - shaped, unfluted Simpson and Suwannee projectile points are diagnostic of this period (Bullen 1975; Daniel and Wisenbaker 1987; Purdy 1981). The Suwannee tool kit includes a variety of scrapers, adzes, spokeshaves, unifacially retouched flakes, flakes with beaked projections, and blade -like flakes as well as bone and ivory foreshafts, pins, awls, daggers, anvils, and abraders (Austin 2001:23). Following the Suwannee Horizon is the Late Paleo-Indian Horizon (8500-8000 BCE). The smaller Tallahassee, Santa Fe, and Beaver Lake projectile points have traditionally been attributed to this horizon (Milanich 1994). However, many of these points have been recovered stratigraphically from late Archaic and early Woodland period components and thus, may not date to this time period at all (Austin 2001; Farr 2006). Florida notched or pseudo -notched points, including the Union, Greenbriar, and Hardaway -like points may represent late Paleo-Indian types, but these types have not been recovered from datable contexts and their temporal placement remains uncertain (Dunbar 2006a:410). Archaeologists hypothesize that Paleo-Indians lived in migratory bands and subsisted by gathering and hunting, including the now -extinct Pleistocene megafauna. Since it was cooler and drier, it is likely that these nomadic hunters traveled between permanent and semi -permanent sources of water, such as artesian springs, exploiting the available resources. These watering holes would have attracted the animals that the Indians hunted, thus providing both food and drink. In addition to being tied to water sources, most of the Paleo-Indian sites are also proximate to sources of good quality lithic resources. This settlement pattern is considered logistical, i.e. the establishment of semi- permanent habitation areas and the movement of the resources from their sources of procurement to the residential locale by specialized task groups (Austin 2001:25). Although the Paleo-Indian period is generally considered to have been cooler and drier, there were major variations in the inland water tables resulting from large-scale environmental fluctuations. There have been two major theories as to why most Paleo-Indian materials have been recovered from inundated sites. The Oasis theory posits that due to low water tables and scarcity of potable water, the Paleo-Indians and game animals upon which they depended clustered around the few available water holes that were associated with sinkholes (Neill 1964). Waller postulated that the Paleo-Indians gathered around river -crossings to ambush the large Pleistocene animals as they crossed the rivers (Waller 1970). This implies periods of elevated water levels. Based on the research along the Aucilla and Wacissa Rivers, it appears that both theories are correct, depending upon what the local environmental conditions were at that time (Dunbar 2006b). As such, during the wetter periods, populations became more dispersed because the water resources were abundant and the animals they relied on could roam over a wider range. Some of the information about this period has been derived from the underwater excavations at two inland spring sites in Sarasota County: Little Salt Spring and Warm Mineral Springs (Clausen et al. 1979). Excavation at the Harney Flats Site in Hillsborough County has provided a rich body of data concerning Paleo-Indian life ways. Analysis indicates that this site was used as a quarry -related base camp with special use activity areas (Daniel and Wisenbaker 1987). It has been suggested that Paleo-Indian settlement may not have been related as much to seasonal changes as generally postulated for the succeeding Archaic period, but instead movement was perhaps related to the scheduling of tool -kit replacement, social needs, and the availability of water, among other factors (Daniel and Wisenbaker 1987:175). Investigations along the Aucilla and Wacissa Rivers, as well as P16006 Page 610 of 1180 3-4 other sites within the north Florida rivers have provided important information on the Paleo-Indian period and how the aboriginals adapted to their environmental setting (Webb 2006). Studies of the Pleistocene faunal remains from these sites clearly demonstrate the importance of these animals not for food alone, but as he raw material for their bone tool industry (Dunbar and Webb 1996). 3.2 Archaic As the Paleo-Indian period gradually ended, climatic changes occurred and the Pleistocene megafauna disappeared. The disappearance of the mammoths and mastodons resulted in a reduction of open grazing lands, and thus, the subsequent disappearance of grazers such as horse, bison, and camels. With the reduction of open habitat, the herd animals were replaced by the more solitary, woodland browser: the white-tailed deer (Dunbar 2006a:426). The intertwined data of megafauna extinction and cultural change suggests a rapid and significant disruption in both faunal and floral assemblages and the Bolen people represent the first culture adapted to the Holocene environment (Carter and Dunbar 2006). This included a more specialized toolkit and the introduction of chipped - stone woodworking implements. However, because of a lack of excavated collections and the poor preservation of bone and other organic materials in the upland sites, our knowledge of the Early Archaic tool assemblage is limited (Carter and Dunbar 2006; Milanich 1994). Discoveries at the Page-Ladson, Little Salt Spring, and Windover sites indicate that bone and wood tools were used (Clausen et al. 1979; Doran 2002; Webb 2006). The archaeological record suggests a diffuse, yet well -scheduled, pattern of exploiting both coastal and interior resources. Because water sources were much more numerous and larger than previously, it was possible to sustain larger populations, occupy sites for longer periods, and perform activities that required longer occupation at specific locales (Milanich 1994:67). By approximately 6500 years ago marked environmental changes, which had profound influence upon human settlement and subsistence practices, occurred. Humans adapted to this changing environment and regional and local differences are reflected in the archaeological record (Russo 1994a, 1994b; Sassaman 2008). Among the landscape alterations were rises in sea and water table levels that resulted in the creation of more available surface water. It was during this period that Lake Okeechobee, the Everglades, the Big Cypress, and the Caloosahatchee and Peace Rivers developed. In addition to changed hydrological conditions, this period is characterized by the spread of mesic forests and the beginnings of modern vegetation communities including pine forests and cypress swamps (Griffin 1988; Widmer 1988). The archaeological record for the Middle Archaic is better understood than the Early Archaic. Among the material culture inventory are several varieties of stemmed, broad blade projectile points including those of the Newnan, Levy, Marion, and Putnam types (Bullen 1975). At sites where preservation is good, such as sinkholes and ponds, an elaborate bone tool assemblage is recognized along with shell tools and complicated weaving (Beriault et al. 1981; Wheeler 1994). In addition, artifacts have been found in the surrounding upland areas. Along the coast, excavations on both Horr's Island in Collier County and Useppa Island in Lee County (Milanich et al. 1984; Russo 1991) have uncovered pre -ceramic shell middens that date to the Middle Archaic period. The Horr's Island shell ring is accompanied by at least three ceremonial mounds. Large architectural features such as these were designed to divide, separate, and elevate above other physical positions within the settlement as a reflection and reinforcement of the society's social segmentation (Russo 2008:21). P16006 Page 611 of 1180 3-5 Mortuary sites, characterized by interments in shallow ponds and sloughs as discovered at the Little Salt Springs Site in Sarasota County (Clausen et al. 1979) and the Bay West Site in Collier County (Beriault et al. 1981), are also distinctive of the Middle Archaic. Population growth, as evidenced by the increased number of Middle Archaic sites and accompanied by increased socio- cultural complexity, is also assumed (Russo 1994b, 2008; Widmer 1988). The beginning of the Late (or Ceramic) Archaic is similar in many respects to the Middle Archaic but includes the addition of ceramics. The earliest pottery was fiber -tempered (Orange Plain and Orange Incised). Orange series ceramics have been recovered from a number of sites in southwest Florida (Bullen and Bullen 1956; Cockrell 1970; Luer 1989c, 1999; Marquardt 1992b, 1999; Russo 1991; Widmer 1974). Although semi -fiber -tempered wares are generally attributed to the late Orange period, analysis of such sherds from a number of sites indicates that this type of ceramic occurred throughout the Orange period (Cordell 2004). Projectile points of the Late Archaic are primarily stemmed and corner -notched, and include those of the Culbreath, Clay, and Lafayette types (Bullen 1975). Other lithic tools of the Late Archaic include hafted scrapers and ovate and triangular - shaped knives (Milanich and Fairbanks 1980). Archaeological evidence indicates that South Florida was sparsely settled during this time, with only a few sites recorded. 3.3 Caloosahatchee The termination of the Late or Ceramic Archaic corresponds to a time of environmental change. The maturing of productive estuarine systems was accompanied by cultural changes leading to the establishment of what John Goggin defined as the "Glades Tradition" (Griffin 1988:133). It was characterized by "the exploitation of the food resources of the tropical coastal waters, with secondary dependence on game and some use of wild plant foods. Agriculture was apparently never practiced, but pottery was extensively used" (Goggin 1949:28). Unlike much of peninsular Florida, the region does not contain deposits of chert, and as such stone artifacts are rare. Instead of stone, shell and bone were used as raw materials for tools (Milanich 1994:302). Most information concerning the post-500 BCE aboriginal populations is derived from coastal sites where the subsistence patterns are typified by the extensive exploitation of fish and shellfish, wild plants, and inland game, like deer. Although Widmer postulated environmental stability for the Calusa, this was far from the truth based upon the recent environmental reconstructions (Walker 2013; Widmer 1988). Inland sites show a greater, if not exclusive reliance on interior resources. Known inland sites often consist of sand burial mounds and shell and dirt middens along major water courses, and small dirt middens containing animal bone and ceramic sherds in oak/palm hammocks, or palm tree islands associated with freshwater marshes (Griffin 1988). These islands of dry ground provided space for settlements (Carr 2002). The settlement pattern of the Caloosahatchee people at this time consisted of large villages (10 hectares [ha] (25 acres [ac]) in size with about 400 people), small villages (3-4 ha [9 ac] / 50 people), and fishing hamlets and/or collection stations (< 1 ha [2.5 ac], temporary, task specific site) (Widmer 1988). The larger sites are located in the coastal areas, whereas most of the interior sites are seen as short-term hunting stations occupied by special task groups from the permanent coastal villages (Widmer 1988:226). Caloosahatchee 1, ca. 500 BCE to 500 CE, is characterized by thick, sand -tempered plain sherds with rounded lips, some St. Johns Plain ceramics, the appearance of Pineland Plain ceramics (tempered with sponge spicules and medium to fine quartz sand), and the absence of Belle Glade ceramics (Marquardt 1999:85). Based on the faunal analysis from Useppa Island and Pineland, fish P16006 Page 612 of 1180 3-6 was the primary meat source with whelks and conchs being the primary shellfish food. Botanical materials utilized include chenopod, panic grass, talinum, mallow, red mangrove, waxmyrtle, pine, buttonwood, and seagrape (Marquardt 1999:87). Data on burial customs for this time are unknown; on Pineland, the use of burial mounds began around 1000 CE (Marquardt and Walker 2013). From 500 to 1200 CE, the Caloosahatchee II period is marked by a dramatic increase of Belle Glade ceramics in the area. Cordell (1992) has divided the Caloosahatchee II period into IIA and IIB based on the appearance of Belle Glade Red ceramics at about 800 CE. In addition, the IIA and IIB time ranges roughly correlate with two contrasting climate/sea-level episodes (Walker 2013). These changes in ceramics may also indicate the resurgence of ceremonial mound use, a characteristic of the period. Burials occurred in sand mounds and in natural sand ridges with both primary flexed and secondary bundle burials. The number of shell middens or village sites increased (Milanich 1994:319) and evidence of ranked societies appears (Widmer 1988:93). The Wightman Site has three non - mortuary ceremonial mounds connected by shell causeways (Fradkin 1976). In addition, the large Pineland Canal appears to have been constructed at this time (Luer 1989a, 1989b). It is possible that the large Pineland complex served as the center of Calusa society at this time (cf. Milanich 1995:44). During this time, it had been postulated that sea levels were higher than during the Caloosahatchee I period, or that the coastal area was under greater influence from nearby ocean inlets. This is based on the higher diversity of faunal remains and the increased number higher salinity based food stuffs (Walker 1992). The number of shell midden or village sites increased, and shell tools (hafted shell hammers and cutting edged tools) became more diverse (Marquardt 1992a:429; Milanich 1994:319). The Caloosahatchee III period, ca. 1200 to 1350 CE, is identified by the appearance of St. Johns Check Stamped and Pinellas Plain ceramics (Cordell 1992). Belle Glade Plain ceramics continue to be the dominant type, with sand tempered plain and Pineland Plain. Marquardt (1992a:430) notes that there were no obvious changes in the settlement and subsistence patterns based upon the archaeological evidence even though this is the beginning of the Little Ice Age (Marquardt 2013). Sand burial mounds continued to be utilized, often containing Englewood and Safety Harbor vessels. A number of mounds from this period have had radially placed extended burials within the mounds (Luer and Almy 1987). From 1400 to 1513 CE, the Caloosahatchee IV period is characterized by the appearance of numerous trade wares from all adjoining regions of Florida (Widmer 1988:86). These types include Glades Tooled and pottery of the Safety Harbor series. There was also a decrease in popularity of Belle Glade Plain ceramics (Milanich 1994:321). Sand tempered plain pottery, with square and flattened lips, is the most common (Cordell 1992:168). There is also an increase in Pineland Plain ceramics. Around 1400 CE, the use of incising on ceramics in the Glades and Caloosahatchee regions ceased and the ceramic assemblages of the two areas were very homogeneous (Marquardt 1992a:431). Some have suggested that this represents an expansion of the Calusa within this area (Griffin 1988; McGregor 1974). Large villages sites continued to accumulate midden-mounds and the dead were interred in sand burial mounds (Marquardt 2013). 3.4 Colonialism The Caloosahatchee V period, ca. 1513 to 1750 CE, is coterminous with the period of European contact. The only difference between Caloosahatchee III and IV is the presence of European artifacts. The Caloosahatchee area was the home territory of the Calusa, a sedentary, non- agricultural, highly stratified and politically complex chiefdom (Milanich 1998). Calusa villages along the coast are marked by extensive shellworks and earthworks. Sites are marked by the appearance of European artifacts in association with aboriginal artifacts. It was also at this time that P16006 Page 613 of 1180 3-7 metal pendants were being manufactured by aboriginal metal smiths (Allerton et al. 1984). In addition, cultural materials from the Leon -Jefferson Mission Period in north Florida have also been recovered (Widmer 1988:86). This may be evidence of Indians fleeing Spanish missionaries and moving into southwest Florida. Spanish missionaries and European explorers found areas of large population on the southwest Florida coast, through there were interior occupations as well (Hann 1991). During the historic period, there was no reason to doubt that the Indians of southwest Florida continued to subsist mainly on resources of the sea, though they are said to have been fond of Spanish food and drink (Marquardt 1992a:431). Burial patterns also remained similar to the earlier periods, but included some European goods. The most striking feature of the Caloosahatchee mortuary pattern is its continuity through time and general lack of grave goods (Walker et al. 1996:23). Between 1513 and 1558, Spain launched several expeditions of exploration and, ultimately failed, colonization of La Florida. Archaeological evidence of contact can be found in the form of European trade goods such as glass beads, bells, and trinkets recovered from village sites. Prior to the settlement of St. Augustine in 1565, European contact with the indigenous peoples was sporadic and brief, however, the repercussions were devastating. The southeastern Native American population of 1500 has been estimated at 1.5 to 2 million (Dobyns 1983). Following exposure to Old World diseases such as bubonic plague, dysentery, influenza, and smallpox, epidemics to which they had no immunity, the Native American population of the New World was reduced by as much as 90% (Ramenofsky 1987). The social consequences of such a swift and merciless depopulation were staggering. Within 87 years of Ponce de Leon's landing, the Mississippian cultures of the Southeast were collapsed (Smith 1987). In 1708, the Spanish government reported that three hundred refugees were all that remained of the original Florida population (Mulroy 1993). Along the Gulf Coast between Charlotte Harbor and Tampa Bay, Spanish and Cuban fishermen established communities, or "ranchos," with the earliest being at Useppa Island and San Carlos Bay (Hammond 1973; Palov 1999). There is growing archaeological evidence that the surviving Native Americans of the region were assimilated into these mixed communities (Almy 2001; Hann 1991; Neill 1968; Palov 1999). These west coast ranchos supplied dried fish to Cuban and northern markets until the mid-1830s, when the Seminole Indian Wars and customs control closed the fisheries. During the two centuries following the settlement of St. Augustine, the Spanish widened their Florida holdings to include the settlement at Pensacola and a garrison at Saint Marks. With the English to the north and the French to the west, the Spanish colony of La Florida was extremely fragile. In the early 1700s, Spain invited some of the Lower Creek Indians displaced by British settlements into La Florida to provide a hostile buffer against the British (Mulroy 1993). What formed as a border population evolved as other bands of Lower Creek extraction moved into the peninsula. This first migration formed a confederation, which included Cowkeeper and his Alachua band, the Apalachicolas, and the Mikasukis (Mulroy 1993). The Treaty of Paris (1763) reallocated the English, French, and Spanish holdings in the New World. As a result, Florida was ceded to the English. After this, bands of Upper Creek, Muskogee speakers, began moving into Florida, increasing the Native American population to around two thousand by 1790 (Mulroy 1993). Although cultural distinctions existed between the various Native American groups entering Florida, Europeans collectively called them Seminoles: The word Seminole means runaway or broken off. Hence Seminole is a distinctive appellation, applicable to all the Indians in the Territory of Florida, as all of them run away, or broke off, from the Creek or Nuiscoge [Muskogee] nation (United States Congress 1837). P16006 Page 614 of 1180 The Seminoles formed, at various times, loose confederacies for mutual protection against the new American Nation to the north (Tebeau 1980:72) which considered them to be "the wildest and fiercest remnant of a tribe which has been distinguished for their ceaseless opposition to the arts of civilization" (United States Congress 1850). The Seminoles were joined by escaped slaves from South Carolina and Georgia (Porter 1996), "many of whom were seduced from the service of their masters" (Jackson et al. 1817-1818). The loss of slave labor, particularly in light of the abolitionists' movement in the northeast, coupled with the anxiety of having a free and hostile slave population immediately to the south, caused great concern among plantation owners. This historically underestimated nuance of the Seminole Wars prompted General Thomas S. Jesup to say "This you may be assured is a negro and not an Indian War" (Knetsch 2003:104). Following the treaty of Paris (1763), the ensuing decades witnessed the American Revolution during which English loyalists immigrated to Florida. Following the Revolution, the second Treaty of Paris (1783) returned Florida to Spain; however, Spanish influence was nominal during this second period of ownership. For the next 36 years, Spain, from the vantage of Florida, watched with growing concern as the infant American Nation to the north gained momentum. When the United States acquired the Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803, Spain was hemmed in. When the Seminoles began cross border raids from Spanish Florida into the United States, General Andrew Jackson was commission to defend the nation. His orders permitted him to cross the international border to pursue Seminoles, but he was to respect Spanish authority. General Jackson's subsequent actions belie either tacit instructions or a personal agenda, as he killed hundreds of Indians and runaway slaves, took control of several Spanish garrisons and towns, confiscated the Spanish royal archives, named an American as governor of the area, and announced that the Spanish economic laws would be replaced by the revenue laws of the United States (Tebeau 1980). This aggression understandably strained relations between the United States and Spain. Spain, who had more pressing concerns with its Central and South American colonies, ceded Florida to the United States in the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819 in exchange for the territory west of the Sabine River. 3.5 Territorial and Statehood Andrew Jackson, named provisional governor of Florida, divided the territory into St. Johns and Escambia Counties. At that time, St. Johns County encompassed all of Florida lying east of the Suwannee River, and Escambia County included the land lying to the west. In the first territorial census in 1825, some 317 persons reportedly lived in South Florida; by 1830 that number had risen to 517 (Tebeau 1980:134). Although what became known as the First Seminole War (the cross border hostilities between the United States and the Seminoles) was fought in north Florida, the Treaty of Moultrie Creek in 1823, at the end of the war, was to affect the settlement of south Florida. In exchange for occupancy of a four million acre reservation south of Ocala and north of Charlotte Harbor, the Seminoles relinquished their claim to the remainder of the peninsula (Covington 1958; Mahon 1985). The treaty satisfied neither the Indians nor the settlers. The inadequacy of the reservation, the desperate situation of the Seminoles, and the demand of would-be settlers for their removal, produced another conflict. By 1835, the Second Seminole War was underway, initiated with the Seminole attack on Major Dade's company en route to Fort King. Although much of the Second Seminole War occurred in central Florida, as the Seminoles fled southward into the Big Cypress and Everglades, U.S. forces pursued them. At approximately the time when engagements were entering this part of the state, a shift in military installation paradigm occurred. In October 1840, U.S. Secretary of War Joel Poinsett P16006 Page 615 of 1180 3-9 advised commander Armistead that the construction of fixed post installations should be discontinued and temporary depots should be adopted (Knetsch 2003). This new strategy was a direct response to the guerilla -like warfare utilized by the Seminoles and an abandonment of European -modeled set piece warfare. Because of this directive, the landscape of south Florida was dotted with depots and only slightly more substantial "forts." The forts of south Florida very rarely approximated the size and permanency of forts such as Brooke, King, and Mellon. The federal government ended the Second Seminole War in 1842 by withdrawing troops from Florida. At the war's end, some of the battle -weary Seminoles were persuaded to emigrate to the Oklahoma Indian Reservation where the federal government had set aside land for them. After much political deliberation over the fate of black Seminoles (Knetsch 2003:126), approximately 500 black Seminoles were allowed to accompany the "red Seminoles" west (Porter 1996). Those Seminoles who wished to remain in Florida were allowed to do so, but the reservation boundary was redrawn, reducing Seminole lands to the south and west of Lake Istokpoga in Highlands County. In an attempt to prohibit contact between the Seminole and Cuban fishermen, the offshore islands were excluded from the territory (Covington 1982:3). The government considered these two and one half million acres "a temporary hunting and planting reserve" (Covington 1982:3), and continued to pressure the remaining Seminoles to leave by "sending a delegation of their tribe, which have emigrated West, to visit their brethren in Florida, and explain to them the advantages of rejoining their tribe" (United States Congress 1850). In 1845, the Union admitted the State of Florida with Tallahassee as the state capital and survey and exploration of the Big Cypress and Okeechobee areas was intensified. Tension mounted as the Seminoles watched with growing alarm the passage of military patrols and survey parties, and complaints were made to Indian Agent Captain Casey that such activities made hostilities inevitable (Covington 1982:30). Patrols typically found little remaining of previous military installations, however navigation and location was always in doubt given the limited cartography and featureless swamps. One officer lamented that "The maps represent the shape of the Big Cypress so differently in this portion of it and also the course of the creek Okholoakooche [Okaloacoochee Slough] from what I found that I felt doubts if I had yet reached the right place" . On January 22, 1855, Lt. George Hartsuff, appointed topographical engineer and main surveyor, began exploration of the Big Cypress and Everglades. During this time, he helped establish Forts Simon Drum and Shackleford. When the rainy season of June 1855 set in, survey was suspended and Hartsuff began work on his field notes and maps. In a sketch furnished to the War Department, he showed the exact location of many Indian villages and noted that he had been into the chief haunt of the Indians that contained most of their villages, gardens, and cattle pens (Covington 1982:35). Sampson Forrester, a Black Seminole, provided the following account of the Seminole existence in the swamps: Within the swamp are many pine -islands, upon which the villages are located. They are susceptible of cultivation; and between them is a cypress swamp, the water from two to three feet deep. The Indians rely principally upon their crops, which, though small, add much to their comfort. Corn, pumpkins, beans, wild potatoes, and cabbage palmetto, afford subsistence. The scarcity of powder deprives them partially of game; though bears and turkey are frequently killed with arrows. Discharging a rifle was forbidden, as in a country so flat and wet the reverberation is in abundance; but there they apprehend discovery. A few ponies, cattle, hogs, and chickens are owned by the chief (Tampa Tribune 1955). P16006 Page 616 of 1180 3-10 On December 7, 1855, Lieutenant Hartsuff again set out for the Big Cypress with orders to make reconnaissance and take note of any Indian fields and settlements (Covington 1982:1). Within a few days, the company found the charred ashes of Forts Simon Drum and Shackelford, which had been abandoned during the rainy season. Every Indian village entered was found to be deserted, and when leaving Billy Bowlegs' village on December 18, 1855, artillerymen took bunches of planted bananas. Later, in the day, the company received orders to return to Fort Myers and they began the trip westward. They camped for the evening in a small grove south of present day Immokalee; 30 Seminole warriors led by Billy Bowlegs ambushed them at 5:00 AM (Covington 1982:1). In what was perhaps the result of misunderstood aggression, and tragically ill-timed orders (had they only left a day earlier), the Third, and final, Seminole War began. For the following two and a half years, hit and miss skirmishes extended from the Big Cypress and Everglades to Darby in Pasco County and New Smyrna Beach in Volusia County. Through this period, U.S. military strategy ranged from the use of poorly disciplined militia, to aggressive campaigns, to truce offerings. After several previous betrayals, the Seminoles did not respond to the latter tactic. By the summer of 1857, the focus was on Billy Bowlegs in the Big Cypress. This effort was greatly aided by the use of shallow draft boats (Covington 1982). When found, villages were burned, fields were destroyed, horses and cattle were slaughtered, and Seminoles captured. As Seminole warriors were occupied hunting or scouting, captured villagers were typically women and children, the wounded, and the elderly. On November 19, 1857, Captain William Cone's company discovered an occupied village. Two Seminole guards were killed and five women, thirteen children, and a wounded warrior were taken prisoner (Covington 1982:72). Given the importance of remaining undetected, Seminole children were taught very early to be quiet: The first thing we're taught when we're little is to watch where we step, so as not to step on a snake. The next thing we're taught is to be quiet and good and mind the older people. They pointed out why we should be good. White men were the reason. They told us about the wars and how the Indians had to run off the islands in the saw grass in the Everglades, through the swamps, away from the white soldiers. A child who wasn't quiet and wasn't good might be left behind. And he would be carried back to the white folks by the soldiers. I can tell you, this scared you! —Buffalo Tiger (Reno 1994:103). After years of running, struggling to provide for his people, and mounting attacks when possible, Billy Bowlegs finally surrendered to federal forces at Fort Myers. On May 4, 1858, the ship Grey Cloud departed Fort Myers for Egmont Key with 38 warriors and 85 women and children. An additional 45 captives were boarded at Egmont, and the ship set sail for New Orleans where they would depart for Oklahoma. Although some Seminoles remained in the Big Cypress and the Everglades, the U.S. government did not deem it worthy to pursue them. This half-starved and battle weary population was left to eke out an existence in the south Florida swamps (Covington 1982). As settlers moved into the Big Cypress region, cattle ranching served as one of the earliest important economic activities reported in the region. Mavericks left by early Spanish explorers such as Desoto and Narva6z provided the stock for the herds raised by the mid -eighteenth century "Cowkeeper" Seminoles. As the Seminoles were pushed further south during the Seminole Wars and their cattle were either sold or left to roam, settlers captured or bought the cattle. By the late 1850s, the cattle industry of southwestern Florida was developing on a significant scale. By 1860, cattlemen from all over Florida drove their herds to Fort Brooke (Tampa) and Punta Rassa for shipment to Cuba, at a considerable profit. During this period, Jacob Summerlin became the first cattle baron of southwestern Florida. Known as the "King of the Crackers," Summerlin herds ranged from Ft. Meade to Ft. Myers (Covington 1957). P16006 Page 617 of 1180 3-11 3.6 Civil War and Aftermath In 1861, Florida followed South Carolina's lead and seceded from the Union as a prelude to the American Civil War. Florida had much at stake in this war as evidenced in a report released from Tallahassee in June of 1861. It listed the value of land in Florida at $35,127,721 and the value of the slaves at $29,024,513 (Dunn 1989:59). Although the Union blockaded the coast of Florida during the war, the interior of the state saw very little military action. Florida became one of the major contributors of beef to the Confederate government (Shofner 1995:72). Summerlin originally had a contract with the Confederate government to market thousands of head a year at eight dollars per head. However, by driving his cattle to Punta Rassa and shipping them to Cuba, he received 25 dollars per head (Grismer 1946:83). In an attempt to limit the supply of beef transported to the Confederate government, Union troops stationed at Ft. Myers conducted several raids into the Peace River Valley to seize cattle and destroy ranches. In response, Confederate supporters formed the Cattle Guard Battalion, consisting of nine companies under the command of Colonel Charles J. Mannerlyn (Akerman 1976). The cattlemen and the farmers in the state lived simply. The typical home was a log cabin without windows or chinking, and settlers' diets consisted largely of fried pork, corn bread, sweet potatoes, and hominy. The lack of railway transport to other states, the federal embargo, and the enclaves of Union supporters and Union troops holding key areas such as Jacksonville and Ft. Myers prevented an influx of finished materials. As a result, settlement remained limited until after the Civil War. Immediately following the war, the South underwent a period of "Reconstruction" to prepare the Confederate States for readmission to the Union. The program was administered by the U.S. Congress, and on July 25, 1868, Florida officially returned to the Union. After the war ended, southerners who faced reconstruction and rebuilding saw Florida as a frontier full of opportunity and welcome. In southwest Florida, settlers first arrived by ones or twos, drifting through the area. Many of the early arrivals, however, were apparently "squatters" (Tebeau 1966:167). In most of the early settlements, development followed the earlier pattern with few settlers, one or two stores, and a lack of available overland transportation. In the 1870s, while the region was still part of Monroe County, settlement of Collier County evolved slowly and in isolated pockets. Immokalee, Everglades City, Chokoloskee, Marco, Caxambas, Goodland, and Naples served as the early centers for settlement in the existing Collier County (Tebeau 1966:96). These first permanent pioneers were farmers; the hunters and fishermen who had preceded them established only temporary camps. As the land was largely impassable, their market was Key West, a growing city which produced almost none of its own food (Tebeau 1966). The Homestead Act, created by Congress in 1862, allowed settlers to obtain title to 160 acres by residing on and working the land. The property had to first be surveyed by the government. It was not until the 1870s that W. L. Apthorp, and M. H. Clay surveyed land within Township 46 South, Range 29 East, including the current project area. Apthorp surveyed the exterior boundary for Township 46 South, Range 29 East in 1872; and Clay surveyed the interior section lines in 1873 (State of Florida 1872, 1873a). No historic features were depicted (State of Florida 1873b). They described the land as 3rd rate prairie (State of Florida n.d.: 783). When Billy Bowlegs departed for Oklahoma, Old Tiger Tail became the de facto leader of the remaining Seminoles. He lived at the headwaters of the Okaloacoochee Slough and his holdings included cattle, agricultural fields, and Corn Dance Grounds (West 1990). In 1891, under the direction of Amelia S. Quinton, the Women's National Indian Association resolved to establish a mission near Immokalee (then known as Allen's Place) (West 1990). Dr. J. E. Brecht and his wife were hired as missionaries, and the mission consisted of a residence, a schoolhouse, barn, and fenced P16006 Page 618 of 1180 3-12 land. It was as this time that Allen's Place became known as Immokalee (Mikasuki for "home"). In 1896, trader Bill Brown established a post on the western rim of the Everglades. Over time, the missionary activities shifted from Immokalee to Brown's Landing where the Glade Cross Mission was established. As a result, when the Big Cypress Reservation boundaries were drawn, they included the Glade Cross Mission, but Immokalee was excluded. When the reservation was created, Bill Brown's son, Frank, who grew up amongst the Seminoles, was appointed the Agent for the reservation (Brown 1989). By the early 1880s, the State of Florida faced a financial crisis involving title to public lands. By act of Congress in 1850, the federal government turned over to the states for drainage and reclamation all "swamp and overflow land." Florida received approximately 10,000,000 acres. To manage that land and the 5,000,000 acres the state had received on entering the Union, the state legislature in 1851 created the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund. In 1855, the legislature established the actual fund (the Florida Internal Improvement Fund), in which state lands were to be held. The fund became mired in debt after the Civil War and under state law no land could be sold until the debt was cleared. In 1881, the Trustees started searching for a buyer capable of purchasing enough acreage to pay off the fund's debt and permit the sale of the remaining millions of acres that it controlled. Hamilton Disston, a member of a prominent Pennsylvania saw manufacturing family, in 1881, entered into agreement with the State of Florida to purchase four million acres of swamp and overflowed land for one million dollars. In exchange, he promised to drain and improve the land. This transaction, which became known as the Disston Purchase, enabled the distribution of large land subsidies to railroad companies, inducing them to begin extensive construction programs for new lines throughout the state. The purchase, although technically legal, was extremely generous with the designation "swamp and overflow land." Grismer (1946) estimates that at least half of the acreage was "high and dry." Disston and the railroad companies, in turn, sold smaller parcels of land to developers and private investors (Tebeau and Carson 1965:252). By the late 1880s, squatters were sufficient in numbers to protest when "their land" became the property of Hamilton Disston. Squatters could have purchased the land on which they had taken up residence and constructed improvements, for such a provision was made in the Disston contracts. But the early settlers believed they should each be permitted to homestead 160 acres of high and dry land. They had not been able to do so because the land was designated "swamp and overflowed" and title to it had been transferred to the state (Tebeau 1966:167). Disston's purchase included what is now Naples, and formed the Florida Land and Improvement Company. In 1886, Charles Adams bought a parcel from Disston which formed the basis for the Naples Town Improvement Company of Tallahassee. When John Williams and Walter Haldeman, both from Kentucky, decided "Naples" was the perfect place to develop a city, they bought the controlling interest in the Naples Town Improvement Company. They reorganized it, gave it new direction, and renamed it the Naples Company. With Haldeman directing the work, the company was ready, by December 1887, to embark into a new period of full-scale town building and improvement including a hotel, churches, and shops. The name "Naples" is attributed to numerous Florida developers' sales schemes to romanticize the Florida peninsula into a pleasant "Italian" seaside resort. Unfortunately, the only activity for the next few years was on paper - the buying and selling of land; little construction took place (Jamro and Lanterman 1985). In 1887, the land, which today is Collier County, became part of the newly created Lee County and remained such for 36 years until July 7, 1923 when Collier County was formed with Everglades City as county seat. It was named for Barron Gift Collier, a Memphis born businessman who promoted the region's development. All of Section 6 of the project area was purchased by the P16006 Page 619 of 1180 3-13 Florida Commercial Company in 1896; the Carrabelle, Tallahassee, and Georgia Railroad Company purchased all of Section 7 in 1894 (State of Florida n.d.:265). 3.7 Twentieth Century From 1899 until 1914, the Naples Company struggled but the town slowly grew. In 1914, E. W. Crayton, an Ohio real estate developer with a successful track record in St. Petersburg, purchased the controlling interest in the company and renamed it the Naples Improvement Company. His direction is credited with leading Naples into the future. In 1925, Naples was incorporated and by 1927, reached by two railroad lines (Dean 1991). In 1911, successful New York City advertiser, Barron Gift Collier, visited Useppa Island. Collier was captivated, "Frankly, I was fascinated with Florida and swept off my feet by what I saw and felt. It was a wonderland with a magic climate, set in a frame of golden sunshine" (Collier County Museum 2010). Over the next decade, Collier amassed over one million acres in southwest Florida and his property stretched from the Ten Thousand Islands to Useppa Island, and from the coast to the Big Cypress and the Everglades (Clement n.d.). Collier was the largest landholder in the state and created a luxury resort, the Useppa Inn which was visited by corporate giants, presidents, movie stars, authors and sports celebrities. To facilitate development, Collier made a pledge to the Florida State Legislature to complete the Tamiami Trail from Tampa to Miami (Naples Daily News 1976). The roadway was finished in 1928 and as traffic increased, southwest Florida's tourist industry was born (Scupholm 1997). The construction of the Tamiami Trail had a tremendous effect on Seminole settlement patterns. The roadway interrupted traditional canoe routes and as a result, Seminoles were forced to use the Tamiami Canal, which was created during road construction. Many Seminole families moved closer to the Tamiami Canal to facilitate canoe transportation (Carr 2002). On July 7, 1923, the state legislature created Collier County and named Everglades City as county seat. Collier became the second largest county in Florida with a land area of 2,032 square miles. At the time of its creation, the county consisted of pine and cypress land and extensive swampland. The towns within the county, Immokalee, Naples, Marco, Caxambas, Chokoloskee, Deep Lake, and Everglades City, were all small settlements separated by almost inaccessible terrain. Improvements in transportation include the 1921 Atlantic Coast Line (ACL) Railway Company's extension south from LaBelle to Immokalee. The town took on new importance and became a center for inland activity in Collier County (Tebeau 1966). While Barron Collier was promoting the Tamiami Trail, he and his supporters were also making an effort to open a direct highway route from Immokalee to the county seat of Everglades City. By 1923, an unimproved road from LaBelle through Immokalee, terminating at Deep Lake, was depicted on a Florida State Map (Kendrick 1964). This road was completed between Immokalee and Everglades City in the early 1920s (FPS 1986). Collier County induced the ACL to continue its line south to Everglades City around 1927. The two projects linked the town with outer areas of the county and the Tamiami Trail. With the arrival of the railroad and road Immokalee became a center for ranching, farming, and lumbering (Tebeau 1966). In 1923, Collier County had one of the largest stands of virgin cypress and pine timber in the country (Tebeau 1966). Roads leading into the Everglades were completed in the 1920s, enabling logging companies to exploit the region's cypress (Klinkenberg 1994). From the 1920s to the late 1950s, steam powered mills cut cypress board, which was valued for its durability and imperviousness to water. "Swamp Loggers" would fell the trees and oxen and mules would pull the downed trees to temporary tram railways where they were loaded for transport to the nearby mills. P16006 Page 620 of 1180 3-14 Logging activities in the Big Cypress Swamp and Fakahatchee Strand were prevalent in the 1940s in response to wartime needs (US Fish and Wildlife n.d.). The cypress was used in the construction of P.T. Boats, and, later, was shipped to Europe to supply the post-war rebuilding efforts (Klinkenberg 1994). Two of the companies with logging operations in the area were the Lee Tidewater Cypress Company and the C. J. Jones Logging Company. The logging industry required the construction of rail lines traversed by steam locomotives, which resulted in the establishment of a number of saw mills and lumber towns within the region. The largest of these towns was Jerome, located off of present-day State Road 29, north of US 41 (Tamiami Trail) (Klinkenberg 1994). Two mills, one at Naples and the other at Bonita Springs, reached into the timber lands from the west coast (Tebeau 1966:252). However, as a result of heavy lumbering activities from the 1940s to 1957, much of the trees were cleared (FDEP n.d.; Tebeau 1966; US Fish and Wildlife n.d.). When the cypress supply was exhausted, logging establishments became ghost towns, and the rail lines were abandoned, leaving only remnant segments of trails and ditches. Barron Collier, who promoted the region's development and the completion of the Tamiami Trail with his personal fortune, brought modern communications, roads, and railroads (Collier County Museum 2010). His promotions eventually opened up the area's enormous agricultural and resort potential, but modest signs of growth were halted by the Great Depression. The number of residents in 1925 of 1,256 grew to only 2,883 by 1930 (Tebeau 1966:212). By the mid-1930s, federal programs, implemented by the Roosevelt administration, started employing large numbers of construction workers, helping to revive the economy of the state. The programs were instrumental in the construction of parks, bridges, and public buildings. However, Collier County's economy and population remained at a virtual standstill until the end of WWII when a new wave of national prosperity sent thousands of people to Florida (Dean 1991). In the late 1940s, the agricultural thrust in Collier County began with approximately 640 cultivated acres along SR 29 near Ochopee-Copeland. By the 1970s, citrus, watermelons, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers were the largest producing crops in the county. Other crops included squash, cantaloupes, melons, potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, eggplant, corn, beans, and okra (Naples Daily News 1973). Like many Florida communities, World War 11 changed the face of Naples and later added to its growth. Largely, the post -World War II development of Collier County is similar to that of the rest of America: increasing numbers of automobiles and asphalt, an interstate highway system, suburban sprawl, and strip development along major state highways. The county, like most of Florida, experienced a population boom in the 1950s. Florida's population increased from 1,897,414 in 1940 to 1950 in 2,771,305. Collier County's population grew from 5,082 in 1940 to 6,488 in 1950 (Forstall 1995). After the war, car ownership increased, making the American public more mobile, making vacations more inexpensive and easier. Many who had served at Florida's military bases during World War II also returned with their families to live. As veterans returned, the trend in new housing focused on the development of small tract homes in new subdivisions. In 1949, Naples officially became a city with strict zoning laws promoting a "Naples Image" which denoted homes and lifestyles at the higher end of the scale. The county seat was moved to Naples in 1959 (Dean 1991). Based on maps from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 1954 Soil Survey for Collier County, Florida, a series of trails and tram lines once spread into the swampy interior region of the County from the west coast. The railroad grades in the region appear to have led to a north -south trending line near the coast, running several miles inland. These appear to have been part of the County's cypress and pine timbering industry (USDA 1954). P16006 Page 621 of 1180 3-15 The agricultural growth of the county led to an influx of migrant workers into the area. In 1966, Collier County began its first effort to house these workers. The Farm Workers Village, located along SR 29, in Section 11 of Township 47 South, Range 29 East, was a 491-unit apartment complex operated by the county Housing Authority, it provided affordable housing to the workers as well as daycare, postal services, a convenience store, laundromat, and educational facilities (Naples Daily News 1991). The number of permanent Collier County residents grew rapidly from 6,488 in 1950 to 85,000 by 1980. In the 1950s and 1960s, US 41 was widened by adding limerock from nearby quarries. In 1967, SR 84 (Alligator Alley) or the Everglades Parkway, which lies south of the project area, was built. In 1970, FDOT appointed an advisory panel to evaluate possible routes across south Florida for the proposed I-75. The plans were prepared by 1972 and the Interstate was built thereafter, utilizing existing lanes from Alligator Alley for eastbound traffic. Two westbound lanes were built on the vacant strip of land between Alligator Alley and the canal (Duever et al. 1985). 3.8 Proiect Specific Information. The 1953 aerial photos of the project area available from the Publication of Archival, Library, and Museum materials (PALMM) indicate that native vegetation had been removed by 1953 and replaced with agricultural fields. By 1968, the historic aerials show that all of the project area had been converted into agricultural fields (Figure 3.2). P16006 Page 622 of 1180 3-16 1-1-53 _.. .,.

Page 623 of 1180 4-1 4.0 RESEARCH CONSIDERATIONS 4.1 Background Research and Literature Review A review of archaeological and historical literature, records and other documents and data pertaining to the project area was conducted. The focus of this research was to ascertain the types of cultural resources known in the project area and vicinity, their temporal/cultural affiliations, site location information, and other relevant data. This included a review of sites listed in the NRHP, the FMSF, cultural resource survey reports, books, articles, and maps. In addition to the NRHP and FMSF, other information relevant to the historical research was obtained from the files of ACI. No individuals with knowledge of historic or aboriginal activities specific to the project area were encountered during this project; thus, no informant interviews were conducted. It should be noted that the digital FMSF data used in this report were obtained in February 2016. However, input may be several months behind receipt of reports and site files. Thus, the findings of the background research phase of investigation may not be current with actual work performed in the general project area. In keeping with standard archaeological conventions, metric measurements are used in this section and the following report section. 4.2 Archaeological and Historical Considerations Archaeological Considerations: For archaeological survey projects of this kind, specific research designs are formulated prior to initiating fieldwork to delineate project goals and strategies. Of primary importance is an attempt to understand, based on prior investigations, the spatial distribution of known resources. Such knowledge serves not only to generate an informed set of expectations concerning the kinds of sites which might be anticipated to occur within the project corridor, but also provides a valuable regional perspective and, thus, a basis for evaluating any newly discovered sites. Background research indicated that according to the FMSF, no prehistoric or historic archaeological sites have been recorded within three miles of the project area. A review of the Collier County archaeological predictive maps (ACI 1992, 1999), countywide syntheses by the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy (Carr 1988; Dickel 1991), as well as the Cultural Resources Overview and Survey Strategy: Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (New South 2008) "...which found that the most effective method used by archaeologists for isolating probability areas in southern Florida has involved the interpretation of historic black and white aerial photographs. These provide cross-references for a changing landscape through time" (New South 2008:53). In general, sites are most often found on discrete areas of higher ground relative to the surrounding terrain - such as hammock or hammock areas which once supported oak/palm hammocks, and typically situated near fresh water such as a marsh, seasonal depression, pond or a slough. Previous CRAS conducted in the general area were prepared for improvements to SR 29, and improvements to SR 82 (ACI 2009; 2004 and 2005 and Janus Research 2007), All these produced negative results for prehistoric or historic archaeological sites. P16006 Page 624 of 1180 4-2 Based upon these data and soil type information from the soil surveys archaeological/ historical site location predictive models (ACI 1992, 1999; USDA 1954, 1998), it was anticipated that the survey parcel has a low to moderate potential for prehistoric archaeological sites. The potential for historic period archaeological sites was considered very low. Historical Considerations: A review of the FMSF data obtained in February 2016 indicated an absence of historic structures (50 years of age or older) within or near the project area. However, 8CR00979, SR 82, has been recorded (Janus 2007), and determined ineligible for listing in the NRHP. The 1954 soil survey depicts no structures along either road (USDA 1954), although several structures may have been located on the property after 1973 (Figure 4.1). 4.3 Field Methodology Archaeological field methodology consisted of surface reconnaissance and shovel testing conducted at a 10 meters (m) (33 feet [ft]), 25 in (82 ft), 50 in (165 ft), 100 in (324 ft) intervals as well as judgmentally. Shovel tests were circular, and measured approximately 50 centimeters (cm) (20 inches [in]) in diameter by 1 in (3.3 ft) in depth, unless impeded by water or limestone. All soil removed from the shovel tests was screened through a 0.64 cm (0.25 in) mesh hardware cloth to maximize the recovery of artifacts. Following the recording of relevant data such as stratigraphic profile and artifact finds, all test pits were refilled. Historic structures field methodology consisted of a reconnaissance survey of the area to determine the location of any historic properties 50 years of age or older, and to ascertain if such resources within the project area could be eligible for listing in the NRHP. If structures were found, an in-depth study of the identified historic resources would be done, photographs taken, and information needed for completion of the FMSF forms gathered, including a physical description and interviews with residents and other individuals knowledgeable about the history of the area. 4.4 Unexpected Discoveries It was anticipated that if human burial sites such as Indian mounds, lost historic and prehistoric cemeteries, or other unmarked burials or associated artifacts were found, then the provisions and guidelines set forth in Chapter 872.05, FS (Florida's Unmarked Burial Law) would be followed. 4.5 Laboratory Methods/Curation All recovered cultural materials were initially cleaned and sorted by artifact class. Lithics debitage was subjected to a limited technological analysis focused on ascertaining the stages of stone tool production. Flakes and non -flake production debris (i.e. cores, blanks, tested cobbles) were measured, and examined for raw material types and absence or presence of thermal alteration. Flakes were classified into four types (primary decortication, secondary decortication, non-decortication, and shatter) based on the amount of cortex on the dorsal surface and the shape (White 1963). The project -related records such as aerials, field notes, and photographs and the artifacts will be maintained at ACI in Sarasota, unless the client requests otherwise.

Cal Page 626 of 1180 5-1 5.0 SURVEY RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS 5.1 Archaeological Results Archaeological field survey included both ground surface reconnaissance and the excavation of 159 shovel tests within the Immokalee Sand Mind project area property (Figures 5.1-5.3). These were placed at a 25 m (82 ft), 50 m (165 ft), 100 m (324 ft) intervals as well as judgmentally. Shovel tests were also placed at 10 m (33 ft) intervals around positive shovel tests to bound them. As a result, no archaeological sites were found but two archaeological occurrences were found. According to the FMSF, an AO is defined as "the presence of one or two nondiagnostic artifacts, not known to be distant from their original context which fit within a hypothetical cylinder of 30 meters diameter, regardless of depth below surface." Thus, occurrences are not recorded as sites. But they are evidence of prehistoric activity in the general project area but not considered eligible for listing in the NRHP. The two AO's are described below. A0#1: This AO was recorded in the northwest quarter of Section 7, Township 46 South, Range 29 East (Figure 5.1). Elevation is approximately 35 ft above mean sea level (amsl). It is described as a medium (1-2 cm in length), non thermally altered chert waste flake found between 0- 40 cm below surface in grey brown sand in the southwest corner of the project area in a moderate probability area. No additional material was found within the shovel tests placed at close intervals. AO#2: This AO was recorded in the northeast quarter of Section 6, Township 46 South, Range 29 East (Figure 5.1). Elevation is approximately 40 ft amsl. It is described as a medium (1-2 cm in length), non thermally altered chert waste flake found between 0-40 cm below surface in white sand in the northeast corner of the project area in a moderate probability area. No additional material was found within the shovel tests placed at close intervals. 5.2 Historical The historical resource survey of the project area revealed an absence of historic structures (50 years of age or older). Thus, no structures listed or considered eligible for listing in the NRHP are located within the property. 5.3 Recommendations Based on the results of the background research, field survey and analysis, development of the Immokalee Sand Mine property will not impact any significant cultural resources. No further work is recommended.

The review was conducted in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and its implementing regulations in 36 CFR Part 800: Protection of Historic Properties. In response to a previous application to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for this development, our office requested to FDEP that a professional cultural resource assessment survey be conducted (c.f. DHR No, 2010-02496, June 3, 2010). However, as of the date of this letter, no Bard copy of a survey report associated with this project has been received by the Division of Historical Resources Compliance and Review Section. Therefore, our request for a professional survey prior to any ground disturbing activities still stands. The resultant survey report should conform to the provisions of Chapter 1 A-46, Florida Administrative Code, and should be sent to our office upon completion. The report will help us complete the Section 106 review process and provide concurrence on federal determinations of effect, and recommend any necessary avoidance or mitigation measures. The Division of Historical Resources cannot endorse specific archaeological or historic preservation consultants. However, the American Cultural Resources Association maintains a listing of professional consultants at www.aera-crm.or , and the Register of Professional Archaeologists maintains a membership directory at www,r anet.or . The Division encourages checking references and recent work history. If you have any questions, please contact Florence McCullough, Historic Sites Specialist, by email at Florenee.AlcCarllougli dos.tnyjlorida.coni, or by telephone at 850.245.6333 or 800.847,7278.

The State Historic Preservation Officer is to advise and assist state and federal agencies when identifying historic properties, assessing effects upon them, and considering alternatives to avoid or minimize adverse effects, The project area has not been subjected to a systematic professional archaeological or historical investigation and contains environmental conditions consistent with those found at other archaeological sites in Collier County. For these reasons, it is the recommendation of this agency that a professional perform a cultural resource reconnaissance survey of the property, including judgmental subsurface testing, in order to assess the probability of the presence of historic properties. The purpose of this survey will be to locate and assess any cultural resources that may be present. The resultant survey report must conform to the specification set forth in Chapter 1 A- 46, Florida Administrative Cade, and be forwarded to this agency in order to complete the reviewing process for this proposed project and its impacts. The results of the analysis will determine if significant cultural resources would be disturbed by this development. In addition, if significant remains are located, the data described in the report and the consultant's conclusions will assist this office in determining measures that must be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse impacts to archaeological sites and historical properties listed, or eligible for listing in the NRHp, or otherwise significant. 500 S.

INTRODUCTION Immokalee Sand LLC seeks to amend the mining footprint of an existing sand mine with associated sorting and processing facilities just north and west of the town of Immokalee. The mine project is referred to as the Immokalee Sand Mine (Mine) and encompasses approximately 896.70 acres situated in portions of Sections 6 and 7, Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Collier County, Florida. The Sand Mine is located immediately north of State Road 82 and about 1 mile west of the intersection of State Road 29 and State Road 82. A general location map is provided as Figure 1. The original permitting showed the project area as 897.9 acres, but subsequent survey revisions have amended the overall acreage to 896.7 acres. The project is located on existing agricultural lands. Citrus groves originally composed approximately half of the property while row crop and pasture comprised the other half. The citrus trees on the property were removed in 2013 and the land not currently being mined is maintained as cattle pasture through periodic mowing. Citrus, row crop, and cattle grazing operations surround the property for several miles in all directions. Another sand mine is located approximately 1.5 miles to the south of this project. The proposed expansion to the Mine project will add approximately 109.6 acres to the currently permitted footprint. This expansion area had been left out of the original permitting to allow for a potential wildlife corridor that was under consideration. The wildlife corridor was eventually located further north and west of the project site, so the proposed expansion area is no longer needed for any wildlife corridor (see Section 2.2 for additional information on corridor). Approximately 6.6 acres of the expansion area are isolated man made wetland. Mitigation for these wetland impacts will be via purchase of mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank. This report frequently refers to lands within the Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary as the "Mine property" or "Mine site" while lands within the boundaries of the on -site preserve area are referred to as the "conservation area" or "preservation area". Taken together, the lands contained within the Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary are typically referred to herein as the "project lands". The preserve area associated with the project was established during the original permitting for the project. Appendix D outlines the enhancement and protection activities proposed within the on -site preserve area that were established during this earlier permitting. No additional preserve lands are proposed or required in association with this expansion. The preserve management plan also outlines the monitoring efforts that will be done to track and document the success of the enhancement efforts. It should be noted though that this area is not being used as mitigation for the proposed impacts. Impacts will be mitigated for by purchase of credits from an approved mitigation bank. This document provides information concerning the proposed Immokalee Sand Mine expansion project as it relates to natural resources and environmental issues. It was written to support applications submitted to Collier County for a Conditional Use zoning determination and to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) seeking a modification to the current Environmental Resource Permit (Permit No. MMR-0297420-009) that has been issued for the project. Page 3 of 36 Page 657 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS (PRE -DEVELOPMENT) 2.1 VEGETATION ASSOCIATIONS The existing habitat types (based on FDOT FLUCFCS codes) are shown in Figure 2 and are further described in Appendix B. The description below lists each of the existing major land use categories and their extent as mapped on the Mine property while Appendix B contains a table listing all the unique FLUCFCS map units present on the Mine property and their extent. Of the total 896.70 acres contained within the mine property boundary, 95.8% classify as uplands (858.8 ac.), 2.6% classify as other surface waters (23.6 ac.; ponds and drainage ditches), and 1.6% classify as wetlands (14.3 ac.). The majority of the property (46%) consists of cattle pasture that is currently maintained by mowing while another 40% is currently dedicated to the mining operations. 2.2 NATIVE HABITAT Of the total 896.70 acres contained within the mine property boundary, The breakdown of habitats at the time of the original approval was; 94.7% classified as uplands (849.6 ac.), 3.6% classified as other surface waters (32.7 ac.; ponds and drainage ditches), and 1.7% classified as wetlands (15.6 ac.). The majority of the property (55%) consisted of citrus grove while another 31 % was actively farmed row crop fields. These acreages have been amended with the current application due to the mining activities that are currently underway. For the purpose of establishing the required native preserve, the original acreages are utilized. There were a total of 13.3 acres of habitats (i.e. vegetation associations or FLUCFCS categories) on the Mine property that were classified as native vegetation when the project was originally approved. The proposed project expansion will impact some (approximately 44%) of the existing native vegetation areas on the Mine property. The wetland areas that will be impacted are shown in Figure 6 while Appendix A Table 5 provides a listing of the total extent of the proposed impacts to the wetlands. The original project included establishment of a single on -site preserve (the "Preserve" or "native vegetation preserve") in the southwest corner of the site. This preserve contains a total of approximately 9.9 acres and was identified as the location where existing on -site native vegetation will be preserved. The Preserve is shown in Figures 5 and 6. Figure 7 illustrates the existing native vegetation habitats (FLUCFCS mapping units) that will be preserved on the Mine property within the native vegetation preserve. Table 6 lists the existing habitat types, for both native and non-native vegetation, contained within the boundaries of the proposed Preserve along with the total extent of each preserved habitat (FLUCFCS) type. Native vegetation preservation requirements applicable to the Mine property are addressed in Policy 6.1.3 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) of the County's Growth Management Plan (GMP) and in Policy 5.5.2.a.iii of Section D, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay or RLSA, of the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the GMP. These requirements are echoed in Section 4.08.05.J.2 of the County's Land Development Code (LDC), which indicates that if listed species are observed on the project site then a minimum of 40% of the native vegetation on site must be retained. The proposed on -site Preserve will preserve and protect a total of 7.4 acres of the existing vegetation present on the Mine property. This equates to preservation of 56 % of the total existing native vegetation on -site. The on -site Preserve has been protected by placing it into a conservation easement pursuant to Page 4 of 36 Page 658 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 LDC 3.05.07.H.1.d (i.e. in a conservation easement dedicated to the County (OR 6069 PG 1960). Both Category 1 and 2 invasive exotics identified in the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's (EPPC) "List of Invasive Species" will be eradicated and controlled throughout the Preserve, in accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.g.ii. Following completion of the initial exotic eradication efforts, shrubs, and ground cover species as appropriate to the wetland and upland prairie habitat will be planted as necessary within the Preserve areas that do not presently constitute native vegetation habitats to restore these areas to native. Supplemental plantings will be conducted in general accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.f. Through the restoration of current non- native vegetation areas, the entire 9.9-acre Preserve will be comprised of native vegetation associations. The post-restoration/enhancement communities are anticipated to be a mixture of FLUCFCS 310 (dry prairie) and FLUCFCS 643 (wetland prairie). A review of historic aerial photographs for the region indicated that by 1973, agricultural clearing and development had encompassed the entire area currently under consideration. Sometime after 1973, the row crop field area previously occupying the western half of the site was converted to citrus trees. The original approvals for the site identified a 25.9 acre area in the northeast corner of the property for preservation in conjunction with a potential wildlife corridor along the northern property boundary. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was working on a "least -cost -pathway' analysis to determine the best route for a wildlife corridor between Corkscrew Marsh and Hendry County lands. Barron Collier (BCP) had offered the northern portion of this property for a corridor if no other alternatives were developed and if it was able to be tied into other properties, owned by others, that connected to Corkscrew Marsh (Swanson, K., D. Land, R. Kautz, and R. Kawula. 2008. Use of least -cost pathways to identify key road segments for Florida panther conservation. Fish and Wildlife Research Institute Technical Report TR-13. ii + 44 p.). Since that time, the FWC finalized their study and, in conjunction with the Habitat Conservation Plan review and permitting, identified two corridors further north and east of the project site. These identified corridors tie into wildlife crossings that are included in the SR82 road widening project. As such, the northern portion of this property is no longer needed for a wildlife corridor so the area previously excluded from the project design can now be included back into the overall footprint and included in the mining program. As a result, the permitted County preserve and native habitat retention has been located in the south west corner of the site contiguous to wetlands and a small native habitat area on the adjacent property to the west. 2.3 EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY & DRAINAGE PATTERNS Figure 3 illustrates the pre -mining topography and general surface water drainage patterns. The majority of the mine property consists of actively managed agricultural operations. The pasture areas are graded to drain into internal field ditches and/or into perimeter rim ditches surrounding groups of fields. The larger fields are bordered by large perimeter containment berms. Because of these perimeter berms, no runoff naturally drains from the property. All water from the site is diverted through the perimeter ditches to the eastern side of the property where it outfalls into another pump controlled ditch. When these pumps are operating, water is thrown off site to the east where it enters another ditch and eventually spreads out into more natural sheet flow conditions. Page 5 of 36 Page 659 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 The water table (water levels) within the crop fields is strictly managed and controlled. Wells with in -pumps in conjunction with throwout pumps at various locations (see Figure 3) are the primary means of regulating water levels within the fields. There are no significant off -site flows entering the site since the entire proposed excavation site is largely isolated from off site flows by the existing farming berms and associated agricultural operations. The site is surrounded by agricultural lands in active production which are also managed by similar agricultural water management systems. 2.4 WETLANDS AND OTHER SURFACE WATERS Qualified Turrell, Hall & Associates, Inc. environmental staff inspected the project lands for the purpose of delineating wetlands and other surface waters. The wetland delineation methodologies and criteria set forth by the state (in Chapter 62-340, FAC, Delineation of the Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual) were followed in determining whether an area classified as a wetland or other surface water and in delineating the limits (boundaries) of potential jurisdictional wetlands and other surface waters. Turrell, Hall & Associates ecologists flagged the boundaries of those areas which classified as wetlands according to state and federal guidelines. There were very few cases where it appeared wetland lines established based on the state methodology would differ from those established based on the federal (USACE) methodology. Where this did occur, the feature boundary was flagged based on the landward -most extent of the two methods - in other words, the methodology that produced the greatest extent of wetlands was used to flag the wetland line (the "safe uplands line" approach). The wetland boundaries flagged (marked) by staff ecologists were subsequently survey -located. Figure 2 depicts wetlands present on the project lands and immediately adjacent areas. Within the Mine property there are 3 isolated wetlands that encompass a total of 14.3 acres or about 1.6% of the Mine property. These "on -site" wetlands are identified as hatched areas on Figure 2.. Table 3 of Appendix A provides a listing of the various existing FLUCFCS types mapped in the on -site wetlands as depicted in Figure 2. Refer to Appendix B for a description of the various FLUCFCS categories. The following paragraphs provide a general description of each of the three on -site wetlands. Wetland 643 (7.7 acres; in southwest corner of mine property) This wetland is located in the southwest corner of the property. The wetland is adjacent to wetland areas to the west and small areas within the road right-of-way. Overall, this wetland and the adjacent wetland areas are isolated by the existing road and agricultural operations. Based on a review of historic aerial photos and field observations, it appears this has always been a depressional wetland area. Wetland 643 is primarily a wet prairie not dominated by any single vegetation but instead composed of a wide mixture of ruderal and grassy vegetation including dog fennel, beak rush, maidencane, soft rush, flat sedges, primrose willow, red root, crinum lily, and several other mixed species. Exotic species such as para grass and torpedo grass are also present. Active mowing has kept woody types of vegetation out of this area. It appears to have been used for staging and storage activities in the past. Approximately 6 to 8 inches of standing water can be present for short periods when the area water table is allowed to remain high. This area has been identified and set aside as preserve area to meet local (Collier County) preservation requirements. It is not being used as mitigation for any wetland impacts. Page 6 of 36 Page 660 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 Wetland 618 (5.6 acres; in east central portion of the property) This wetland is completely surrounded and isolated by agricultural berms, disturbed lands, and drainage ditches. Indications are that the central portion of the wetland, an area dominated by willows, was historically a wetland but that the surrounding portions to the north and east were once uplands. Today, these outer portions of the wetland consist of areas of dense Brazilian pepper, and a scrub/shrub community composed of various shrubby species such as primrose willows and Brazilian pepper. The entire wetland can be inundated for significant periods when the water table in the surrounding fields is allowed to remain high. This wetland is being proposed to be impacted under the current expansion modification request. Wetland 640 0.0 acre; in the northeastern portion of the property) This small wetland is entirely man-made. It was created from historic upland areas when the area was used as cattle pasture. The depressional areas appear to have originally been dug as watering holes that were later incorporated into the water retention area for the fields. The wetland hydroperiods are completely dictated by the active manipulation of water levels in the adjacent drainage ditches and pasture fields. This area will be impacted under the current expansion request. 2.4.1 WETLAND SEASONAL HIGH WATER TABLE AND HYDROPERIOD Ecologists attempted to estimate the existing seasonal high water table (SHWT) elevation in each of the wetlands on the Mine property. Because of the historical and ongoing water level manipulation estimation of SHWT was difficult. The types of wetlands present and the heavy hydrological manipulation associated with the agricultural operations resulted in few reliable indicators that could be used. The physical and biological indicators used in the determination included water stains, drift lines, tussocks, adventitious rooting, buttressed tree trunks, lichen lines, etc. The estimated SHWT elevations appear to be split between the northeastern portion of the property and the majority (remainder) of the site. Wetland 643 SHWT appeared to be about 36.0 to 36.5 feet NGVD (34.8 to 35.3 NAVD) while wetlands 618, and 640 appear to have a SHWT ranging from 34 feet to 35 feet NGVD (32.8 to 33.8 NAVD). Former historic SHWT elevations were essentially impossible to gage in the wetlands present on project lands. The hydroperiods in these wetlands have been altered by farming activities for so long that signs of the historic high water levels have vanished or are so faint and/or variable that they could not be estimated with sufficient certainty. One must remember that the existing SHWT elevations determined for wetlands on the Mine property do not necessarily reflect a "natural' hydroperiod. The water levels in these wetlands are governed by how the area water table is regulated in the surrounding agricultural fields. Using off -site wetlands to judge historical water levels will not work for this property because all of the surrounding lands have been exposed to the same types of hydrological manipulations as have occurred on this property. 2.4.2 OTHER SURFACE WATERS All the other surface waters (OSWs) on the Mine property are man-made agricultural drainage ditches and ponds that are an active part of the current agricultural surface water management system. Characteristics of these ditches are highly variable. Some are largely devoid of vegetation while others have patchy cover by native and exotic herbaceous species along side slopes and Page 7 of 36 Page 661 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 ditch bottoms. Nuisance, exotic, and native woody species can also be present. Maintenance excavation is performed in these ditches and ponds as is occasional applications of herbicides, thereby altering vegetative cover following such events. Although "separate" ditches are mapped on the Mine property, most are hydraulically connected to one or more other ditch segments via pipes. There are also two on -site OSW ponds that have been mapped. One of these (SW-3) has a direct hydrologic connection to the on -site ditches. This pond has limited shoreline vegetation, mostly consisting of Brazilian pepper and other exotic species. The small pond in the north east portion of the site (SW-2) appears to be the by-product of past agricultural pumping activities and was also used as a cattle watering hole. This pond is very shallow and will dry down to the point that wetland marsh vegetation frequently fills in the pond when water levels are low. 2.4.3 JURISDICTIONAL STATUS OF WETLANDS AND OTHER SURFACE WATERS All of the wetlands and OSWs (drainage ditches and ponds) now present on the project lands were assumed to be FDEP jurisdictional. Wetland areas 640 is an isolated wetland surrounded by upland crop fields and berms, and there are no ditches bordering or in close proximity to this wetland that has any hydrologic connection with off -site wetlands or navigable Waters of the United States. This on -site wetland was assumed to not be USACE jurisdictional because of these factors. Wetland 643 has a direct connection to off -site wetlands but the total wetland area (on - site and off -site) is isolated by agricultural activities and the road right-of-way. Due to the lack of connectivity, this wetland was also assumed to not be USACE jurisdictional. Wetland 618 is a natural wetland connected to a small pond and also immediately adjacent to a ditch that has a direct connection to off -site ditches. This wetland (618) was judged to be USACE jurisdictional. 2.5 LISTED PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES A thorough survey for listed animal and plant species was originally conducted on the project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates biologists in 2008. Subsequent survey efforts have been conducted in 2012, 2019, 2020, and 2024. This listed species survey and its results are discussed in Appendix B. The listed animal species observed on project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates included American alligator, wood stork, snowy egret, tricolored heron, white ibis, sandhill crane, and crested caracara. A caracara nest was assumed to be located on the property in 2016 as a result of surveys done in conjunction with the SR 82 road widening. No caracara nesting has been observed in subsequent monitoring during nesting seasons. A sandhill crane nest was observed in SW-2 during the 2020 survey efforts. No other nesting or denning of listed species has been observed on the project site. No listed plant species were found on the project lands. Subsequent to the original field surveys in 2008, nesting surveys of the Mine property for crested caracaras and their nests have been conducted during the 2017-2018, 2019-2020, and is ongoing in the current 2024/25 nesting seasons. No caracara nests were located though caracaras were observed foraging on the Mine property. The methodology and results of this survey are also discussed in Appendix B. A few listed animal species, in addition to those documented on the project lands, have the potential to occurring in certain habitats present on project lands. These species are further discussed in Appendix B and include; indigo snake, gopher tortoise, gopher frog, roseate spoonbill, limpkin, burrowing owl, listed wading birds, peregrine falcon, Southeastern American kestrel, bald eagle, and Florida panther. The probability of these animals utilizing suitable habitats in project lands ranges from high to low depending upon the particular species (see discussion in Appendix B). It is improbable that any of these species currently reside or nest on Page 8 of 36 Page 662 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 the project lands. It is highly unlikely that any listed plant species could be present on the project lands. 2.6 HISTORICAi./ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES During the initial permitting for this site, a letter was submitted to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (DHR) requesting DHR to examine the Florida Master Site File for any previously recorded archaeological/historical resources documented on the project lands. DHR responded in a letter dated 9/25/08 that the Florida Master Site File listed no previously recorded cultural resources on the subject property. A Cultural Resources Survey of the site was conducted in 2016 which did not find any evidence of cultural or archaeological resources on the property. A copy of the Survey is provided as Appendix E. The Collier County Long Range Planning Department's "Index Map of Historical/Archaeological Probability of Collier County, Florida", published on 5/5/01 was also reviewed. These maps did not show any historic structures, archaeological sites, or historic districts on the project lands. Based on a review of historic aerial photos, this area has existed as actively maintained agricultural lands for at least the past 40 years or more. Given the above, it does not appear that development of the Immokalee Sand Mine property will impact any historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places or otherwise of historical, architectural, or archaeological value. If a suspected archaeological or historical artifact is discovered during the course of site development activities (construction, mining, clearing, etc.), the development activities at the specific site will be immediately halted and the appropriate agency notified. Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to enable the County or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action. 2.7 SOILS Based on the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) "Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida" (NRCS, 1998) there are 7 different soil types (soil map units) present on the project lands. Figure 4 provides a soils map for the project area as derived from the NRCS mapping. The following sub -sections provide a brief description of each soil map unit identified on the project lands. Information is provided about the soil's landscape position (i.e. its typical location in the landscape on a county -wide basis), the soil's profile (i.e. textural composition and thickness or depth range of the layers or horizons commonly present in the soil), and the soil's drainage and hydrologic characteristics. In addition, the hydrologic soil group is also identified for each soil. There are 4 groups that are used to estimate runoff from precipitation. Soils are grouped according to the rate of infiltration of water when the soils are thoroughly wet and are subject to precipitation from long -duration storms. The four groups range from A (soils with a high infiltration rate, low runoff potential, and a high rate of water transmission) to D (soils having a slow infiltration rate and very slow rate of water transmission). The soils occurring on project lands are as follows: Immokalee fine sand (Man Unit #7) Landscape position - Flatwoods. Page 9 of 36 Page 663 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 Soil profile - Surface layer is black fine sand about 6 inches thick. The subsurface is light gray fine sand to a depth of 35 inches. The subsoil is fine sand varying from reddish brown to dark brown and down to about 58 inches. Substratum is a pale brown fine sand to a depth of about 80 inches. Drainage/Hydrologic characteristics - Poorly drained. Permeability is moderate. The seasonal high water table (apparent) is at a depth of 6 to 18 inches for 1 to 6 months. Water table can recede to more than 40 inches during dry periods. Hydrologic group is B/D. MUakka fine sand (Map Unit #8) Landscape position - Flatwoods. Soil profile - Surface layer is dark gray fine sand and typically 7 inches thick. The subsurface is fine sand to a depth of 27 inches. Substratum is a yellowish brown fine sand to a depth of about 80 inches. Drainage/Hydrologic characteristics - Poorly drained. Permeability is moderate. Seasonal high water table (apparent) is at a depth of 6 to 18 inches for 1 to 6 months during most years. During the other months, the water table is below a depth of 18 inches, and it recedes to a depth of more than 40 inches during extended dry periods. Hydrologic group is B/D. Oldsmar fine sand (Map Unit #16 Landscape position - Flatwoods. Soil profile - Surface layer to a depth of 3 to 8 inches consists of fine sand. Subsurface layer to depth of about 4 to 50 inches consist of sand or fine sand. Subsurface layers below this to a depth of 30 to 65 inches consist of sand or fine sand. Below these layers the subsoil is fine sandy loam, sandy clay loam, or sandy loam.

PROPOSED CONDITIONS (POST -DEVELOPMENT) 3.1 PROPOSED PROJECT The Owners propose to expand the excavation footprint of the existing sand mine utilizing the related production and sorting facilities on the 896.7-acre Immokalee Sand Mine property, as illustrated in the conceptual site plan (see Figure 7). The area to be mined shown on Figure 6 is the "maximum excavation area". Mining will involve removal of any overburden using typical equipment such as bulldozers, front-end loaders, and dump trucks. Once the water table has been reached, other conventional excavation equipment such as draglines and excavators will be brought in to start the sand extraction. As the depth of the pit increases, a hydraulic dredge will be used. This hydraulic dredge will be used for the vast majority of the sand extraction activities. The total depth of excavation previously permitted by the FDEP is no more than 90 feet below the control elevation (-54.5 feet NAVD) or to the top of the confining layer, whichever is shallower. Any haul roads built within the mining area will utilize crushed limestone. The project will include the processing facilities proposed along the western side of the property where the excavated materials will be stockpiled and processed on - site. The majority of the sand mine will be excavated "in the wet" rather than dewatering an entire individual pit. However, some dewatering activities may initially be necessary in order to efficiently excavate down to the mine target sand deposit. This excavation will be done hydraulically in a single expanding cell and the water discharge will be recirculated into a perimeter ditch as it is dug. The vast majority of the mining will be accomplished by the utilization of the hydraulic dredge. The dredge allows for the material to be pumped to the central processing area where it can be sorted and graded. This also eliminates the need for all of the haul roads and on -site trucks and machinery that are common at rock quarries. The hydraulic dredge can be adjusted to reach differential depths and is the most efficient method of excavating deeper sand deposits. Limited blasting may be necessary as part of the mining operation. The soil borings indicate that the site does not contain a significant layer of rock. However, if small rock patches are encountered blasting may be necessary. Such blasting will occur only as needed and will be limited to no more than twice per week. The blasting will be conducted only in daylight hours. Depending on demand for the sand, the actual excavation (dredging) process may be conducted 24 hours per day. Modifications to this work schedule could result from discussions with FFWCC and FWS. The production schedule anticipates that between 10 and 15 acres will be mined per year, though this number will be greater initially then decrease as the sand is extracted at greater depths. Furthermore, market conditions and demand for sand will greatly affect the production schedule. The production schedule listed above is a maximum production schedule. The central portion of the mine property will contain various sorting and processing facilities and an initial tailings/drainage pond. This area will include the settling/tailings ponds, the plant for processing the excavated materials, and stockpiles of the processed product (graded sand). The processing plant will operate roughly 12 to 16 hours per day. The processing plant will use water pumped up as part of the dredging operations along with the sand to transport and wash the mined materials, assist in the sorting, and to remove undesirable fines (silts and clays). At the start of operations, a well may be needed to supply some water to the plant but this consumptive Page 12 of 36 Page 666 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 use will cease once the Mine pits are capable yielding a sufficient volume of water. Water in this pond can be recirculated to the processing plant as necessary. One well tapping the surficial aquifer will be constructed to supply the limited amount of water necessary to meet potable water needs. An on site septic system will be built to handle sanitary sewage generated. If necessary, a stormwater containment berm will be constructed around the outer perimeter of mining portions of the project (see Figure 6) so that the crest of this earthen berm will be high enough to contain all storm events up to and including the 25-year event. An additional two feet of freeboard will be designed into the containment berm system where needed. Thus, all runoff from the mining area will be contained on -site and will either percolate through the soil or flow into the pit. Once the mining has been completed, reclamation plans will include stormwater discharge to off -site wetlands via an outfall control structure on the eastern side of the lake only after the stormwater has received appropriate treatment and attenuation (i.e. treatment and attenuation that satisfies water quality and water quantity design standards specified in the SFWMD's Applicant's Handbook). It is important to understand that the existing cattle farming activities will continue during much of the total lifespan of the Mine project. Pasture fields will be retained in areas not being mined and will be gradually eliminated as the mining progresses across the property. The fields and agricultural drainage and irrigation ditches associated with these fields will be modified as necessary in advance of the mining to allow farming to continue in non -mined areas. The overall mining area will be reclaimed in accordance with reclamation requirements set forth in Chapter 62C-36, Florida Administrative Code (limestone reclamation requirements). Mine closure and reclamation will include removal of the processing plant. Reclamation of the overall Mine property will be completed following completion of all the mining operations. This will be done in accordance with criteria set forth in the state's applicable mine reclamation standards (i.e. Chap. 62C-36.008, FAC). Three isolated and degraded wetlands, totaling 14.3 acres, currently remain on the mine property. The mining operation will eliminate two of these wetlands for a combined total of 6.6 acres of impact. However, any functional values lost as a result will be fully compensated through the purchase of wetland credits from an approved wetland mitigation bank. In addition, approximately 9.9 acres have been retained in the southwest corner of the property. This area includes an isolated 7.7 acre wetland that has been preserved to meet local Collier County preservation requirements. Approximately 7.4 acres of this wetland are included within the conservation easement for the preserve area. the remaining 0.3 acre of wetland is along the perimeter of the property within utility or ROW easements so while it is being retained on the site, it is not included in the preserve calculations. Alligators currently reside within and/or utilize some of the larger agricultural ditches and the small man-made ponds on the mine property. Various listed wading birds forage within the ditches and wetlands on the mine property as well as along the banks of the ponds. Florida sandhill cranes and crested caracaras also occasionally forage in the property's pastures and crop fields. These listed species will be protected during project construction (see Appendix C). The lake created through the mining process will establish far more aquatic habitat for use by listed wading birds and alligators than presently exists on the property. The large mining pit lake, when completed, will provide much greater water storage on the property than exists currently and thus will be a source of groundwater recharge for the general region. The water table in the lakes will reflect the existing regional water table and so will not adversely affect natural hydroperiods or peak water table elevations in off -site wetlands. To the Page 13 of 36 Page 667 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 contrary, more water will be available to the wetlands through the surficial aquifer recharge effects of the lake. The on -site stormwater management system proposed is designed so that some stormwater from the pit lake will discharge following appropriate water quality treatment and attenuation. The overall water balance for the project site should be improved since groundwater withdrawals for crop field irrigation will be phased out as the mining operation progresses. Currently, agricultural practices on the property include the use of throwout pumps to discharge water from the crop fields into on -site uplands and wetland storage areas. This discharge seriously disrupts and adversely impacts the natural hydroperiod of affected wetlands and also lowers the water quality in the lands receiving water from the pumping. As mining progresses, the on -site farming activities including the use of throwout pumps will be eliminated. Surface water nutrient loadings generated by the existing farming operations can be substantial. When managed appropriately the impacts can be eliminated. However, the ultimate elimination of the throw out pumps as proposed will certainly eliminate any potential for adverse impacts. The proposed project stormwater management system will capture and treat on -site stormwater runoff in accordance with SFWMD/FDEP stormwater treatment and attenuation design criteria. The stormwater treatment capacity of the lake will be sufficient enough to gain a state water quality certification. Various acreage estimates for the proposed project are provided below. • Total area within Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary = 896.70 acres • Total area to be developed as part of the project = 886.3 acres • Portion of developed area to be mined = 680.3 acres • Portion of developed area to be disturbed but not mined = 206.0 acres • Total area within the property boundary to be preserved (on -site Preserve) = 9.9 acres Proposed Composition of Areas Developed on the Mine Property • Mine Lake (dug as excavation cells; area at control elevation) = 680.3 acres • Tailings pond (area at control elevation) =17.9 acres • Aggregate stockpile and processing area plus Offices/operational facilities area = 47.9 acres • Perimeter stormwater containment berms = 59.3 acres • Primary haul road = 83.9 acres • Total impervious areas = 14.1 acres 3.2 PROJECT CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE Figure 6 illustrates the conceptual site plan for the expanded Immokalee Sand Mine project. No construction of public facilities is proposed as part of the project. The property will be accessed directly from State Road 82 using the access determined in coordination with County and State DOT and traffic officials. The proposed project includes constructing new turn lanes (west -bound right turn lane and east -bound left turn lane) on State Road 82. The project construction activities commenced in 2019. The wetland mitigation purchase has already occurred for the previously impacted wetland areas. Mitigation for the proposed new wetland impacts will occur shortly after issuance of the necessary permits. Generally speaking, the Mine operations office and related facilities (parking lot, on -site entry road, etc.), processing plant and facilities, and the tailings pond will be constructed first along with the perimeter stormwater berms encompassing this area. Excavation of the mining pit will then commence and will be expanded over time. Mining of the overburden in the construction office and tailings Page 14 of 36 Page 668 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 pond area has already commenced. It is estimated that a maximum of roughly 40 to 50 acres may be mined per year, although initial mining will encompass more acreage, areal expansion will reduce as deeper depths are mined. Prior to starting excavation of a given excavation area; the perimeter stormwater containment berm will be constructed/expanded to encompass the new mining area. Final completion of mining activities is estimated to occur roughly 10 to 15 years after project construction is initiated but this could vary. The overall mining area ("developed area") will be reclaimed in accordance with reclamation requirements set forth in Chapter 62C-36.008, Florida Administrative Code (limestone reclamation requirements/standards). Mine closure and reclamation will include removal of the processing plant plus elimination (filling and subsequent revegetation) of the tailings pond. It is important to understand that the existing farming activities will continue during much of the total lifespan of the Mine project. Pasture fields will be retained in areas not being mined and will be gradually eliminated as the mining progresses across the property. The fields and agricultural drainage and irrigation ditches associated with these fields will be modified as necessary in advance of the mining to allow farming to continue in non -mined areas. 3.3 PROJECT IMPACTS TO WETLANDS The proposed expansion of the project will impact a total of 6.7 acres of isolated, degraded wetlands on the Mine property. Development of the proposed Mine project will impact two of the remaining three wetlands on the Mine property; hence one wetland area will be preserved on -site. one small wetland area was authorized to be impacted under the original permitting and no longer exists. The additional impacted wetlands proposed with this expansion total about 6.6 acres. Figure 6 illustrates the wetlands that will be impacted. Appendix A Table 4 provides the existing habitat types (FLUCFCS map units) occurring in the wetlands to be impacted. During the construction and mining process, appropriate construction best management practices will be employed to help protect water quality and minimize the discharge of sediments and/or turbid water from the project site. The specific erosion/sediment/turbidity control methods and devices used will generally conform to applicable standards and criteria set forth in the "FDER Florida Development Manual," Sections 6-301 through 6-500 (FDER.1988. "The Florida Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management," Chapter 6: "Storm Water and Erosion Control Best Management Practices for Developing Areas; Guidelines for Using Erosion and Sediment Control Practices," ES BMP1.01-1.67. Tallahassee, FL.). These methods will also typically conform to applicable standards and guidelines set forth in the "Florida Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspector's Manual" (FDEP, 2002). All runoff from the developed Mine area will be contained on -site while the Mine is active through construction of the perimeter stormwater containment berms. 3.3.1 DIRECT, PERMANENT IMPACTS Development of the proposed Mine expansion project will result in direct, permanent impacts to a total of 6.6 acres of FDEP jurisdictional wetlands and potentially USACE jurisdictional wetlands. As used herein, the term "direct, permanent impacts" refers to actions that will result in the complete elimination of jurisdictional areas (i.e. excavation and fill). The remainder of the existing on -site wetlands will be preserved. Table 4 lists the proposed permanent wetland impacts while Figure 6 illustrates these impacts. The wetlands proposed to be permanently impacted are all isolated and substantially degraded. UMAM scores for the existing functional values of these wetlands range from 0.27 to 0.33 (see Table 8). Page 15 of 36 Page 669 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 Wetland 643 is a small area in the southwest corner of the property that also extends off -site. None of this wetland will be impacted by the proposed mine and the off -site portions of this wetland will also remain intact. There are several jurisdictional other surface waters (OSWs) within the Mine property boundary which are all segments of man-made agricultural drainage ditches and small man- made ponds. Development of the Mine project will result in direct, permanent impacts to all these OSWs. The only OSW not to be directly impacted will be portions of the perimeter rim ditch that is located both on and off -site. Portions or "slivers" of this ditch located within the Mine property are not anticipated to be impacted by Mine development. 3.3.2 TEMPORARY IMPACTS Permitted wetland enhancement activities in wetland 643 required mechanized clearing and grading of portions of the wetland. These activities took place in disturbed areas that were dominated by exotics. This wetland is not USACE jurisdictional. The proposed enhancement program may require additional temporary impacts to a total of 7.4 acres of FDEP jurisdictional wetlands to maintain the area free from exotics. The effects of any needed future clearing and grading activities proposed should not be considered wetland "impacts" since they are necessary to carry out the wetland enhancement and will result in overall positive benefits to the affected wetland areas. 3.3.3 SECONDARY IMPACTS TO OFF -SITE WETLANDS AND WATER RESOURCES The proposed layout of the Mine project's development features will minimize potential secondary impacts to the only adjacent off -site wetlands by providing an appropriate buffer between the development features and these wetlands. The Mine pit, when completed, will provide much greater water storage on the Mine property than exists currently and thus will be a source of groundwater recharge for the general region. The water table in the lake will reflect the existing regional water table and thereby maintain ambient natural water table levels. In this manner, the proposed lake will not adversely affect natural hydroperiods or peak water table elevations around the project site. Indications are that the overall water budget (water balance) for the Mine property will be improved by development of the project, largely through the elimination of agricultural ground water usage. The pre -mining conditions likely produce a net deficit water balance due to losses from evapotranspiration/evaporation, surface runoff, and ground water pumping. The post -mining conditions should create a surplus water balance, primarily due to the elimination of agricultural ground water pumping and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in surface runoff. The proposed project will, over time, eliminate the agricultural ground water pumping, will reduce the net consumptive use of the surficial aquifer, and will somewhat decrease site runoff. Due to the proposed method of excavation (wet mining), groundwater resources will not be adversely affected by this project. The project site is not located in an area where Mine excavation activities might pose the threat of potential saltwater intrusion. Most of the Mine property prior to the original permitting was used to produce citrus and small vegetable crops and as such required irrigation. The supplemental irrigation is supplied by groundwater resources via wells tapping the surficial aquifer (water table aquifer). The proposed project will not require a net consumption of as great a volume of water as that Page 16 of 36 Page 670 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 demanded by the crop fields, therefore utilization of groundwater resources will be reduced. The project's proposed stormwater management system will be designed to comply with all applicable design standards and requirements set forth in SFWMD's Applicant's Handbook, including but not limited to those addressing water quality criteria, water quantity criteria, and water management design and construction criteria. Adherence to these criteria will help ensure that, following mine reclamation, discharges from the stormwater management system to off -site lands meets applicable state and federal surface water quality standards. While Mine operations are on -going (pre -reclamation) all runoff from developed areas will be contained on -site through use a perimeter stormwater containment berm. This runoff will flow into the project's lakes for proper attenuation and treatment. During the construction and mining process, appropriate best management practices will be employed to control and reduce soil erosion, sediment transport, and turbidity. Given these factors, the proposed project should not adversely impact water quality in off -site wetlands or surface waters. Currently agricultural practices on the Mine property also include the use of throwout pumps to discharge water from the crop fields into off -site uplands and wetlands. This discharge lowers the water quality in the wetlands receiving water from the pumping since the water receives minimal, if any, treatment prior to the pumping. As mining progresses, the on -site farming activities including the use of throwout pumps will be eliminated. Discontinuation of pumping will further benefit water quality in off -site wetlands and other surface waters. 3.4 PRESERVATION, ENHANCEMENT, RESTORATION, AND CREATION OF WETLANDS The proposed wetland impacts will be compensated by purchase of mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank. An assessment of the wetland impacts and mitigation was conducted using the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) set forth in Chapter 62-345, Florida Administrative Code. A summary of this assessment is provided in Table 8 of Appendix A, while the complete UMAM sheets are provided in Appendix E. The UMAM assessment indicates that the UMAM scores for the four remaining on -site wetlands range from 0.27 to 0.43 and that the total functional value of the 6.6 acres of wetlands to be impacted is 2.71. The applicant will purchase 2.71 mitigation bank credits from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank Expansion to offset the proposed project wetland impacts. This will fully compensate for the proposed project wetland impacts without the inclusion of the on -site enhancement activities proposed in the on -site preserve. The UMAM assessment indicates the Mine project will not result in any net loss of wetland functions. 3.5 PROJECT IMPACTS TO LISTED SPECIES An ongoing survey for listed animal and plant species has been conducted on the project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates ecologists. This listed species survey, and its results are discussed in Appendix B. The listed animal species observed on project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates included American alligator, wood stork, snowy egret, white ibis, tricolored heron, sandhill crane, and crested caracara. Other than alligators and sandhill crane, none of the observed listed animal species reside or nest on the project lands. No listed plant species were found on the project lands. Appendix C provides a protection plan (management plan) for the listed species that were documented utilizing the project lands as well as for some additional listed wading birds that were not observed but which could forage on the property. Page 17 of 36 Page 671 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 The following subsections provide an assessment of the proposed project's potential impacts to various listed animal species. The species addressed include those observed on or in close proximity to the Mine property as well as certain species that could potentially occur on the Mine property and/or on off -site lands close to the Mine site. Wood Storks (Mt�cteria americans) No wood stork nests, rookeries, or roosting sites have been found on the project lands. The closest documented wood stork colony is located approximately 9.3 miles east of the Mine property in the Okaloacoochee Slough. The proximity of this rookery (colony) places the proposed project within the colony's 18.6- mile Core Foraging Area as defined by FWS. The property is also within the CFA of two other rookery sites. It is 13.5 miles from the Corkscrew rookery and 17.7 miles from the North Katherine Island rookery. Wood storks have been documented foraging in a few of the larger agricultural ditches on the Mine property. On -site wetlands do not provide suitable foraging habitat for wood storks for various reasons (water depths, density of shrub cover, inappropriate hydroperiod, minimal prey species, etc.). Though it is possible that wood storks could occasionally forage in limited portions of on -site wetland 643; however the quality of these habitats for foraging purposes is minimal. None of the on -site wetlands offer habitats suitable for establishment of wood stork rookeries. The proposed project will impact two of the remaining three small wetlands present on the Mine property. These impacts will not constitute a significant loss of suitable foraging habitat. The project will also eliminate (impact) essentially all of the existing other surface waters (OSWs) present on the Mine property (i.e. the existing man-made agricultural drainage ditches and ponds). Very few of the ditches to be impacted provide significant wood stork foraging opportunities. Most of the ditches are generally very shallow and contain limited prey species when water is present. The remaining larger ditches do provide suitable foraging habitat when conditions are favorable. The foraging opportunities provided can vary significantly during a given year due a wide array of factors that include, but are not limited to: water levels present (ditches can be too dry for several months; water depths can be too deep in larger ditches, particularly when fields are being irrigated); variable abundance of prey species; access of prey species to ditch segment (manipulation control structures such as flashboard risers can block or allow access); maintenance condition of ditch segment (ex. whether vegetation cover is dense or sparse, whether the ditch has been recently re -graded or not, etc.). The herbaceous wet prairie to be retained and enhanced will provide 7.4 acres of short hydroperiod wetlands to the project site. Upon completion of the mining operation and mine reclamation, the resultant lake will encompass a total of approximately 680 acres. The lake will provide a deep water refuge for fish as well as habitat for a diversity of other aquatic and semi -aquatic organisms. Vegetated littoral zones will form along the perimeters of the lake. These littoral zones will provide some foraging opportunities for wood storks, however the foraging value on a per acre basis will be limited compared to more favorable habitats such as the prairie areas in the preserve (due to factors such as water depth, dispersal of prey species, extended inundation vs. seasonal drying, etc.). During the initial construction phase of the Mine and as the areas to be mined expand over time; various measures will be taken to help ensure protection of wood storks. These measures are addressed in the enclosed "listed species protection plan" (see Appendix C). The proposed wetland mitigation activities will occur at a mitigation bank within the same wood stork Core Foraging Area in which the proposed wetland impacts will occur. This mitigation is in keeping with the Section 404(b)(1) guidelines and, in conjunction with the creation of the Mine, should Page 18 of 36 Page 672 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 adequately compensate for the loss of the existing low -quality wood stork foraging habitats that will be impacted by the Mine project. Given these considerations, it is concluded that the proposed Mine project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect wood storks. Various Listed WadingBirds irds Little blue herons (Egretta caerulea), snowy egrets (Egretta thula), tricolored herons (Egretta tricolor), and white ibis (Eudocimus alba) have been observed foraging in various agricultural drainage ditches and swales located on the Mine property. Little blue herons and snowy egrets have also been observed foraging in on -site wetlands. No nests of these species have been observed on the project lands. Besides these species, other listed wading birds that could theoretically frequent appropriate habitats within the project lands include roseate spoonbills (Ajaja ajaja), and limpkins (Aramus guarauna). Development of the Mine project will result in the loss of on -site drainage ditches and wetlands thereby reducing potential foraging habitats for the listed wading birds mentioned while the Mine lake shoreline will provide new potential foraging habitats. The listed species protection plan includes measures to help protect these species during project construction and operation. Overall, the proposed project will impact existing low -quality foraging habitats but should adequately compensate for these impacts and not threaten the continued existence of the cited listed wading birds. American Alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) Numerous alligators have been observed in the drainage ditches on the Mine property. No alligator nests have been documented on or in close proximity to the Mine property though nests could occur in the denser wetland areas and not be observed. The proposed project will affect alligators; however the anticipated impacts (primarily a combination of temporary and permanent displacement) should not substantially affect alligator populations in the general region. Measures are included in the listed species protection plan to help avoid and minimize direct impacts to individual alligators and alligator nests. Once the Mine is reclaimed, the lake will provide roughly 680 acres of viable alligator habitat, far more than exists presently. Florida Sandhill Cranes (Gros canadensis pratensis) A few Florida sandhill cranes have been observed on the Mine property foraging in row crop field areas. Cranes have also been observed in pastures and herbaceous wetlands near the property. A single crane nest was observed at the north end of SW-2 during the 2020 listed species survey effort. Development of the Mine property will eliminate certain on -site upland and wetland habitats that provide foraging opportunities for sandhill cranes. The wet prairie area in the southwest corner of the site will be protected and retained. Crane foraging can also continue to occur in the pasture areas as the mining operation expands. The gradual loss of the pasture lands as the mining footprint expands should not threaten the continued existence of sandhill cranes nor should it adversely impact sandhill crane populations. The listed species protection plan incorporates actions that will help ensure protection of sandhill crane nests in the unlikely event that such nests are established on -site. The FWC has expressed some concerns on other projects that blasting activities might adversely impact off -site sandhill Page 19 of 36 Page 673 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 crane nests. The listed species protection plan calls for conducting off -site surveys for sandhill crane nests should the first blasting events be scheduled to commence shortly before or during the crane nesting season. It also includes measures for protecting any nests encountered from the potential secondary impacts of blasting (ex. abandonment of nest). If the first blasting events will not coincide with the nesting season, it was assumed that sandhill cranes would not elect to establish nests in off -site lands that are in close enough proximity to the Mine that the cranes would feel threatened or disturbed by the on -going blasting activities. Eastern Indigo Snakes (Drumarchon corais couperi) No indigo snakes have been observed on the project lands and the majority of these lands do not provide particularly suitable habitats for indigo snakes. Considering their elusive nature, their large home range, and the wide array of habitats they may utilize, there remains a limited potential that indigo snakes could occasionally frequent portions of the project lands. The listed species protection plan adopted as part of the Mine project includes appropriate measures for helping ensure the protection of indigo snakes throughout the operational life of the Mine. The particulars of the protection plan for indigo snakes set forth in the Mine's listed species protection plan basically follow the FWS's prescribed "Standard Protection Measures for the Eastern Indigo Snake". There are no gopher tortoise burrows, and only a very few armadillo burrows, on the project lands where an indigo snake could be buried or trapped and injured during project activities. In consideration of these points and given the limited probability of any indigo snakes occurring on the project lands, it is anticipated that the Mine project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect this species. Florida Bonneted Bat (Eumops floridanus) No bats or bat roosts have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. Due to the agricultural activities there are no trees with cavities suitable for roosting. It is possible that bats might establish in some of the farm storage sheds or mine office buildings in the future either prior to initial mine construction activities or afterward as the Mine development/excavation progresses though the likelihood of this occurring is minimal at best. The proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to bonneted bats. Florida Panthers (Puma concolor corgi) Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation overlays encompass the Mine property as discussed in Appendix C, although no Florida panthers have ever been documented on project lands. Development of the Mine will permanently impact 896.7 acres all of which is located in the Secondary Zone. The FWS has established panther Habitat Suitability Values (HSVs) for various types of habitats with scores (values) ranging from 0 (no value) to 9.5 (optimal value). When the acreage of a given habitat type (polygon) is multiplied by this habitat's HSV, the result is termed the Panther Habitat Unit value or PHU value. Based on the existing habitat types present, the total PHU value of the land encompassed by the proposed mine expansion property boundary is 422 Secondary zone or 291 Primary zone equivalent habitat units. Utilizing the 1.98 base ratio multiplier, the PHU requirement to off -set the proposed impacts associated with the expansion is 577 PHUs. Wetland mitigation credits purchased from the mitigation bank have associated PHU credits. Each wetland credit from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank expansion has 34.8 PHUs associated with it. The project will be purchasing 2.71 wetland credits which will also account for 94.31 Page 20 of 36 Page 674 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 PHUs. The applicant currently anticipates that the mitigation needed to compensate for the proposed panther habitat impacts will be achieved through preservation and management of off -site lands located within the Primary Zone panther habitat conservation overlay. The original review and authorization of this project preserved 764.1 acres of off -site lands which provided 6,628 PHUs. All of these off -site lands used for the project's panther mitigation program are lands that are currently owned by the owner of the Mine property. The FWS has previously approved this approach to mitigating development impacts to potential panther habitats for the original permitting on this project. There is still a value of 4,156 PHUs associated with the off -site preserve lands which could be used to offset the remaining PHU requirement for the proposed expansion of the mine footprint. The applicant will enter into consultation with the FWS to address the Mine project's expansion impacts to Florida panthers and their potential habitats. The specifics of the location of the off -site lands to be preserved and protected as part of the project's panther mitigation program have been provided by the applicant as part of the previous permitting process. The applicant will ensure that the compensation value of these off -site lands combined with the compensation value of the on -site Preserve will be at least equal to if not greater than the current PHU value of Mine lands proposed for development (e.g. PHU value of off -site lands plus wetland mitigation purchase will be equal to or greater than the PHU value of the area to be developed multiplied by the requisite base ratio and applicable landscape compensation multipliers). Any other measures deemed necessary by the FWS to ensure adequate protection of panthers will also be addressed by the applicant during the Section 7 consultation process during which time the applicant will also coordinate panther issues with the FWC. Given this approach, it is anticipated that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, the Florida panther. Crested Caracaras (Caracara cheriwa Intensive surveys of the project lands found no caracara nests on the project lands. Caracara foraging was observed on the project site in the fallow agricultural fields. Caracaras were also regularly seen consuming road -kill along SR 82 in close proximity to the project site. Several cabbage palm trees were removed in 2019 following the issuance of the Biological Opinion for the original mine footprint. It appears that caracaras do not nest on these lands but that they do occasionally use these lands for hunting/foraging purposes. The listed species survey conducted by ecologists working on the SR 82 roadway expansion in 2016 opined that a caracara nest may be present on project lands No nest was observed but repeated flights by a pair of caracaras were observed that would lead to the possibility that nesting was occurring in that area. Subsequent caracara nesting surveys determined that a caracara nest may be present on lands to the east of the project site. No nest was observed but repeated flights by a pair of caracaras were observed that would lead to the possibility that nesting was occurring in that direction. Publications by the FWS and FWC (ref: FWS. 2002. Habitat management guidelines for Audubon's crested caracara in central and southern Florida; FWC. 2001. Recommended management practices and survey protocol's for Audubon's crested caracara in Florida; FWS. 2002. Draft standard local operating procedures for endangered species (SLOPES) for Audubon's crested caracara) recommend buffer zones to be established around active nests. If a nest is located on or adjacent to the project site appropriate buffers will be established to ensure that the proposed work will not adversely affect the nest. Considering this along with the results of the listed species surveys conducted on -site (no nests, relatively few observations of foraging/hunting, limited suitable habitat), proposed development Page 21 of 36 Page 675 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 activities on the actual Mine property should not directly impact caracaras (not likely to adversely affect). It may also be concluded that while the existing mine will not adversely affect caracaras (per the FWS BO for the project), the proposed expansion may increase effects to caracaras. The determination of whether these additional impacts will adversely affect caracaras or whether they will have only minimal effects on this species (i.e. may affect, not likely to adversely affect) will be coordinated with FWS and FWC during the permitting process to determine appropriate measures that can be taken to help ensure the proposed project will not adversely affect caracaras (ex. protection plans, monitoring plans, and measures to minimize or mitigate potential impacts). The listed species protection plan proposed (Appendix C) prescribes surveying on -site for caracara nests prior to initiation of Mine construction activities to help ensure no caracara nests have been established on the project lands subsequent to the listed species surveys already conducted. Surveys for caracara nests located on or immediately off -site in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property will also be conducted throughout the life of the mine. The protection plan further includes various activities to be conducted during the operational life of the Mine to help minimize potential secondary impacts to caracaras. These proposed activities are subject to change and will be finalized based on input and guidance received from FWS during their evaluation of the project. Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia) No burrowing owls or owl burrows have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. It is possible that owls might establish on -site burrows in the future either prior to initial mine construction activities or afterward in areas of the property where Mine development/excavation had not yet expanded into though the likelihood of this occurring is minimal at best. The listed species management plan includes measures to locate and protect any on -site owl burrows during the operational life of the Mine. Thus, the proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to burrowing owls. The listed species protection program also incorporates measures to protect off -site owl burrows from Mine blasting activities should new burrows be established in close proximity to Mine blasting areas. After blasting activities begin, it is assumed burrowing owls will avoid establishing burrows in off -site areas where they consider the effects of blasting (noise, ground vibration) to be potentially harmful or disruptive. Potential secondary impacts of Mine blasting activities to off -site owl burrows should not be significant given the proposed protection plan and the anticipated tendency of owls to avoid areas where blasting creates a disturbance. Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus poliyphemus) No gopher tortoises or tortoise burrows have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. There are known tortoise burrows approximately 3/4 of a mile to the southwest and 1 mile to the northeast of the project site. There is a possibility that tortoises could move onto the site or establish burrows closer to the Mine between now and the completion of the excavation activities. The listed species management plan includes measures to periodically survey the site to locate and protect any on -site tortoises during the operational life of the Mine. The listed species protection program also incorporates measures to protect off -site tortoises from Mine activities should new burrows be established in close proximity to Mine. Thus, the proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to gopher tortoises. Page 22 of 36 Page 676 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 3.6 PROJECT IMPACTS TO ARCHAEOLOGICAL/HISTORICAL RESOURCES As part of the earlier permitting efforts, a letter was submitted to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (DHR) requesting DHR to examine the Florida Master Site File for any previously recorded archaeological/historical resources documented on the project lands. DHR responded in a letter dated 9/25/08 that the Florida Master Site File listed no previously recorded cultural resources on the subject property. A Cultural Resources Survey of the site was conducted in 2016 which did not find any evidence of cultural or archaeological resources on the property. A copy of the Survey is provided as Appendix F. The Collier County Long Range Planning Department's "Index Map of Historical/Archaeological Probability of Collier County, Florida", published on 5/5/01 was also reviewed. These maps did not show any historic structures, archaeological sites, or historic districts on the project lands. Based on a review of historic aerial photos, this area has existed essentially in the same condition as it is today for at least the past 30 years or more. Given the above, it does not appear that proposed expansion of the Immokalee Sand Mine mining footprint will impact any historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places or otherwise of historical, architectural, or archaeological value. If a suspected archaeological or historical artifact is discovered during the course of site development activities (construction, mining, clearing, etc.), the development activities at the specific site will be immediately halted and the appropriate agency notified. Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to enable the County or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action. Page 23 of 36 Page 677 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 4. AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION OF WETLAND AND LISTED SPECIES IMPACTS The geology in southwest Florida is highly inconsistent from one site to another. Tamiami Limestone is shown in regional geology data to be the predominant geological formation in the area, but that formation is not a viable source of natural sand and gravel. The applicant been searching for a viable deposit of sand and gravel (fine aggregate) when they discovered this deposit. The applicant was involved in a search for rock aggregate in which they investigated several properties. During the investigations, the sand source associated with this project was located and a mining permit application process was started to take advantage of this uncommon deposit. The Stewart Mine to the south across SR 82 also produces similar sand products and has been in operation for several years. The next closest source of sand to the SW Florida market is in Ortona, which is about 35 miles away by truck. Permits were issued for this property by all appropriate agencies and the mining operation was initiated in late 2019. In order for a deposit to be deemed viable, the following requirements had to be met: location in southwest Florida near the Naples/Bonita Springs/Ft. Myers area (e.g. near existing manufacturing facilities in Naples, Bonita Springs, and lmmokalee plus located in a region of the state where there is a high demand for this type of aggregate); deposits present must be capable of yielding FDOT-quality construction aggregates; deposits must be sufficient in volume/extent and must be sufficiently shallow to make mining operation economically viable. One of the more difficult requirements to satisfy is typically locating deposits that can meet FDOT quality standards. The general requirements for fine aggregate to meet these standards are (from FDOT Standards for Road and Bridge Construction Section 902): - Fine aggregate shall consist of natural silica sand, screenings, local materials, or other inert materials with similar characteristics, having hard, strong, durable particles, conforming to the specific requirements of this Section 902. - All fine aggregate shall be reasonably free of lumps of clay, soft or flaky particles, salt, alkali, organic matter, loam or other extraneous substances. The weight of deleterious substances shall not exceed the following percentages: oShale...................................................................................1.0 o Coal and lignite................................................................1.0 o Cinders and clinkers........................................................0.5 oClay Lumps.......................................................................1.0 - Silica sand shall be composed only of naturally occurring hard, strong, durable, uncoated grains of quartz, reasonably graded from coarse to fine, meeting the following requirements, in percent total weight. Sieve Opening Size Percent Retained Percent Passing No. 4 0 to 5 95 to 100 No. 8 0 to 15 85 to 100 No.16 3 to 35 65 to 97 No. 30 30 to 75 25 to 70 No. 50 65 to 95 5 to 35 No. 100 93 to 100 0 to 7 No. 200 minimum 96 maximum 4 Silica sand from any one source, having a variation in Fineness Modulus greater than 0.20 either way from the Fineness Modulus of target gradations established by the producer, may be rejected. Page 24 of 36 Page 678 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 Silica sand shall be subject to the colorimetric test for organic impurities. If the color produced is darker than the standard solution, the aggregate shall be rejected unless it can be shown by appropriate tests that the impurities causing the color are not of a type that would be detrimental to Portland Cement Concrete. Such tests shall be in accordance with AASHTO T21 and AASHTO T71. When tested for the effect of organic impurities on strength of mortar, the strength ratio at seven and 28 days, calculated in accordance with Section 11 of AASHTO T71, shall not be less than 95%. Extensive testing was done at multiple sites throughout the area but were not considered viable due to the lack of sand deposits meeting the above criteria. Only the proposed Immokalee Sand Mine area contained sufficient quantities of sand where the deposits were capable of yielding FDOT-quality fine aggregate. Initially, the boundary of the area to be mined covered the entire project area but was reduced due to a potential wildlife corridor that was considered along the north boundary of the site. This potential corridor was eliminated from consideration when wildlife agencies located the corridor further north and west of the project site (See Section 2.2). Since the corridor is no longer proposed by the wildlife agencies, the mine footprint is being expanded in order to be able to excavate this valuable resource. During the construction and mining process, appropriate construction best management practices will be employed to help protect water quality and minimize the discharge of sediments and/or turbid water from the project site. The specific erosion/sediment/turbidity control methods and devices used will generally conform to applicable standards and criteria set forth in the "FDER Florida Development Manual," Sections 6-301 through 6-500 (FDER. 1988. "The Florida Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management," Chapter 6: "Storm Water and Erosion Control Best Management Practices for Developing Areas; Guidelines for Using Erosion and Sediment Control Practices," ES BMP 1.01-1.67. FDER, Tallahassee, FL.). Impacts to various listed wading birds and alligators that may periodically visit the project site (for foraging or other activities) along with impacts to resident alligators will be minimized by taking appropriate protection measures during project construction and operations activities. Following completion of the proposed mining activities, it is presently estimated that the lake formed on -site by the excavation will occupy approximately 680 acres. Mine reclamation activities will include planting lake shorelines with a variety of native littoral zone species in accordance with mine reclamation requirements specified in Chapter 62C-36, Florida Administrative Code. These post -reclamation mine lakes will provide desirable habitats for listed wading bird foraging and for alligators, thereby helping offset the project's proposed impacts to habitats currently utilized by these species. Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation overlays encompass the Mine property as discussed in Appendix B, although Florida panthers have not been documented on project lands. Development of the Mine will impact these panther habitat conservation zones. Even though the affected areas currently have limited panther habitat value, it is anticipated that the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will require mitigation for the proposed impacts to the same extent as they required compensation for the currently permitted footprint. The necessary mitigation for the project's impacts to panther habitats and the specifics of the mitigation will be determined as part of the consultation with FWS. It is proposed that mitigation will take the form of protecting and managing privately owned lands located within the Primary habitat zone of the Panther. This form of panther habitat mitigation has been previously Page 25 of 36 Page 679 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 approved by FWS for the current mine footprint. Mitigation for project impacts to panther habitat conservation zones could include other measures recommended by the FWS. However, it is premature to accurately predict the ultimate panther habitat mitigation program at this conceptual planning stage of the project. Page 26 of 36 Page 680 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 5. WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM The mitigation for wetland impacts will be provided through the purchase of wetland mitigation credits from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank Expansion. In addition to the credit purchase, the project will include a Collier County preserve area which will be enhanced and maintained, though no mitigation credit is associated with it. The wetland enhancement program involves enhancement of preserved wetlands and uplands, and the maintenance, management, and protection of these areas. This section describes key components of the wetland enhancement program. 5.1 ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITIES (TYPES) Wet Prairie - (Map FLUCFCS Code 643) This existing wetland occurs in a disturbed area in the southwest corner of the property. Plant cover is variable and mainly consists of native herbaceous wetland species and a few woody exotic and nuisance species. Eradication of the exotic and nuisance species using non - mechanized methods will be undertaken but no other enhancement activities are proposed. Presently the area is occasionally mown during the dry season. It is desirable to retain this area in its existing state due to its value for wading birds. Mowing activities will be suspended unless necessary for the road right-of-way maintenance or to control colonization by large woody species. This area will be separated from the mining operations and maintained in its existing condition. It is not included in the preserve areas due to its isolation from other natural areas and its unknown future pending potential improvements or widening of State Road 82. Some supplemental planting may be done if exotic eradication efforts create barren areas too large to quickly re -colonize. Potential supplemental plantings could include the following; Sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) Maidencane (Panicum virgatum) Cordgrasses (Spartina spp.) Spike Rushes (Eleocharis spp.) St. Johns Wort (Hypericum spp.) Spiderlily (Hymenocallis palmeri) Swamplily (Crinum americanum) Yellow -eyed Grass (Xeric ambigua) Whitetop Sedge (Dichromena colorata) 5.2 ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS OF ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM In addition to the above, the wetland enhancement program will have several other facets. These are discussed in the following paragraphs. Hydrologic Enhancement: Historically the water table in row crop fields adjacent to the preserve area was managed (i.e. fields are de -watered) by pumping water in to or out of field rim ditches and lateral ditches. This water is discharged via throw out pumps around these wetlands. This practice severely disrupts the normal wetland hydroperiod. Once the mining operations are under way, agricultural pumping of water into wetlands will be permanently ceased. This will help restore stable hydroperiods that are more typical of natural wetland conditions, prevent artificial over - inundation or drawdown of wetlands, and improve water quality. Page 27 of 36 Page 681 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 Protection of Wetlands and Uplands via Conservation Easements: The preserve area will be placed under appropriate conservation easements which will protect the future integrity of the enhanced wetlands and uplands encompassed by the conservation area. The easements will ensure that the preserve area are preserved and protected in perpetuity. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Maintenance Eradication of Exotic and Nuisance Plants: The preserve area will be maintained in perpetuity to ensure that the areas are free from exotic/invasive plant species immediately following maintenance events and such that exotic and nuisance plane species will be kept out of the preserve area. Exotic invasive plant species will include Category I and Category II species identified in the current "Invasive Plant List" published by the Florida Exotic Pest Plan Council (FLEPPC) as well as Class I and Class II Prohibited Aquatic Plants listed in Chapter 62C-52.011, Florida Administrative Code. Nuisance plant species will include native plant species deemed detrimental due to their potential adverse competition with desirable native species. Visual inspection for exotic, non-native and nuisance plant invasion will be conducted annually and all exotic, non-native and nuisance vegetation including those defined by County codes and the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, found within the preserve areas will be flagged, mapped and reported for treatment. Felled material will be removed from the preserve areas where possible or killed in place where removal would cause extreme damage to the surrounding native areas. Any stumps remaining after the exotic, non-native and nuisance removal will be treated with a U.S. EPA approved herbicide and visible tracer dye to prevent regeneration from the roots. These maintenance activities will be performed in perpetuity as needed. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Removal of Cattle and Fencing: All of the Preserve area is currently protected from grazing by cattle. Much of the on -site Preserve was occasionally managed for rangeland grazing via measures such as brush -hogging. Cattle are no longer allowed to graze within the conservation area and rangeland management practices have been discontinued. This has increased the growth, development, and diversity of native plant assemblages by removing the grazing and management pressures. Wetland and Upland Preserve Delineation: The preserves is clearly delineated with appropriate signage and will not be impacted by the currently proposed expansion. Page 28 of 36 Page 682 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 6. WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM SUCCESS CRITERIA Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, meeting on -site success criteria is not applicable or relevant to this proposal. Page 29 of 36 Page 683 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 7. WETLAND MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, Onsite monitoring of wetland preserves will not be required. Page 30 of 36 Page 684 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 8. PRESERVE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, the management of the preserve area will be more to keep it consistent and compliant with Collier County regulations. The wetland will not be impacted as a minimization measure for the FDEP and USACE permitting. The Immokalee Sand Mine preserve area will be maintained to suppress infestation by exotic/invasive and nuisance plant species. Maintenance/management actions will be conducted as required to keep the area free from exotic or nuisance species. This area will be maintained in perpetuity such that exotic and nuisance plant infestations do not exceed the maximum allowed by the Collier County Land Development Code. After initial eradication efforts are complete, follow-up exotic and nuisance plant control will include directed herbicide applications and/or physical removal methods throughout all portions of the preserve area. Exotic/nuisance plant control is likely to occur on an annual basis for at least the first three years following completion of initial eradication efforts. Such maintenance events may be conducted more frequently if field observations indicate the need. At the end of this period, the frequency of activities necessary to adequately control nuisance and exotic plants will be re -assessed and a program developed for future maintenance. Follow-up plantings of previously planted areas will be conducted as necessary when and where survivorship, density, and/or percent cover goals are not achieved. The need for such re - plantings will typically be assessed on an annual basis. Management/maintenance activities may include removal of dead, dying, or diseased plants (both planted and existing plants) as deemed necessary. A qualified biologist or similar environmental professional will inspect the preserve area at least once a year. During the first few years, inspections will likely occur more frequently in an effort to rectify any potential problem situations (e.g., exotic/nuisance plant infestations, mortality of planted species, etc.) before they worsen. The necessary maintenance activities will be determined by the biologist during these inspections. The maintenance will be conducted during the course of the year following issuance of the biologist's recommendations. Page 31 of 36 Page 685 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 9. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, the financial component of the mitigation requirement will be met prior to any impacts occurring to the wetlands within the project footprint. Page 32 of 36 Page 686 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 10. BASIS OF WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM AS ADEQUATE COMPENSATION FOR PROPOSED WETLAND IMPACTS Section 230.10(a) of the 404(b)(1) Guidelines states that no discharge of dredge and/or fill material (into waters of the United Sates, including wetlands) shall be permitted if there is a practicable alternative to the proposed discharge which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic environment, provided the alternative does not have other significant adverse environmental consequences. This regulation further states that for non -water dependent projects, practicable alternatives that do not involve special aquatic sites are presumed to be available. Practicable alternatives are those that are "available and capable of being done after taking into consideration cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of the overall project purposes." The applicant has investigated the availability and feasibility of practicable alternative locations other than the proposed expansion of this existing sand mine under the pending application. While the applicant has examined other locations, it is necessary to consider the investments in the Immokalee Sand Mine and the costs and logistics of obtaining sand from other locations. As noted in the Corps Regulatory Guidance on analysis under the 404(b)(1) Guidelines, the "characteristics of the project and what constitutes a reasonable expense for these projects [are what] are most relevant to practicability determinations." The applicant's needs must be considered in the context of the desired geographic area of the development, and the type of project being proposed. Indeed, RGL 93-2 provides that "[s]ome projects may be so site -specific ... that no offsite alternative could be practicable. In such cases the alternative analysis may appropriately be limited to onsite options only." Furthermore, RGL 93-2 notes that a "reasonable, common sense approach" ought to be followed in applying the requirements of the Guidelines. When dealing with mineral extraction proposals, the Corps has given considerable deference to an applicant's overall project purpose that involves mineral extraction from a specified geographic location. Additionally, the courts have not required exhaustive analysis of off -site alternatives where the costs and logistics of such alternatives are patently more costly than the applicant's preferred alternative. Here, the overall project purpose is to continue to excavate large quantities of affordable, high - quality, construction -grade sand from this existing mine. A critical consideration of the practicability of alternatives is that Immokalee Sand LLC be able to continue to use the mining - related facilities that already have been built or are planned, and the fact that high -quality, sand deposits are found in limited locations. In turn, these operations currently provide sand to a specific market in a cost-effective manner. Hence, this analysis considers the necessity of continuing to provide a source of sand for those facilities and customers that are already linked to the existing operations in this area. The proposed permit modification is requested for the purpose of allowing Immokalee Sand LLC to continue their existing operations. High quality sand is a critical state resource that is required as a component of a variety of construction materials. The sand is an integral component of concrete and other building materials required for the completion of public projects, including schools, hospitals and roads, many environmental enhancements projects as well as private developments, supporting valuable growth of the community. Factors affecting the location of a sand mine include: quality of sand reserves; total volume of sand reserves, including surface area available for mining and the depth of the sand deposits; availability of property for acquisition; and land use and other governmental restrictions, including local opposition to mining, and other factors that would limit the right of companies to excavate sand at a given location. Page 33 of 36 Page 687 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 Consequently, opening a new mine or expanding an existing facility can take decades to plan and permit. The quality of sand, where it exists, varies from region to region. There are many locations throughout the county and state where high quality deposits are non-existent. Transportation costs dictate that a regional supply of affordable sand is critical to affordable public infrastructure. Transportation costs are a significant portion of the overall cost of aggregate materials because sand and the products produced from it are extremely heavy and expensive to transport. Thus, the further away a mine is from the markets it serves, the higher the transportation costs, and the higher the ultimate cost of the product. The current operations sit over an approximately 60 feet deep layer of high quality sand and the proposed expansion area has been found to also contain this same thickness of the resource. The location of the expansion area has inherent value in that it is directly adjacent to an existing processing facility. With this expansion, Immokalee Sand LLC will be able to use the plants, equipment and infrastructure developed and constructed at significant costs. Mining anywhere else will be more costly and less efficient due to lower yields, increased acreage impacts, and the inability to achieve economies of scale. This location will ultimately assist in reducing the environmental impact and additional cost of transporting unprocessed material from remote locations to the plant facility. If the project is not undertaken in its current location, transportation costs and impacts will be higher. The reduction of vehicle travel will ultimately assist in reducing the carbon footprint of the facility. The proposed mining expansion area is considered a part of the Immokalee Sand Mine and are included within the existing owned property. In addition, as mentioned above, expansion area is located directly adjacent to the existing mining and processing facilities within which the sand will be processed. Alternative sites would need to have the upland portions currently zoned for mining use and be directly adjacent to an existing in -operation processing plant facility that could be used to process the sand, thereby minimizing additional accesses onto public roadways and lessening the carbon footprint of the operation in reduced hauling. The only site meeting these requirements of equivalence is the nearby Stewart mine which is under current ownership of a competing mining company and is not available for purchase. The next level of research of alternate sites is for land areas directly adjacent to the existing mining operation which would provide access to sand that could be processed at the existing facilities. The areas to the north and west of the mine are currently in citrus grove production and are not available for mining. The area to the east of the existing mine contains a higher percentage of wetland areas. This land is not available for purchase for mining. State Road 82 lies to the south of the project site and would be a barrier to transport mined material across that busy highway to the processing plant. The following points summarize the alternative site assessment effort: • The sand resource is only located in a few locations within the area. There simply are not any other parcels with less wetlands having high quality sand available at adequate depth. The fact that the proposed area of mining provides a higher yield per acre means that the overall footprint of the mining is smaller than it would be at other locations. Overall, this means that this expansion uses less land than other areas, and therefore has less environmental impacts. • The expansion area is located directly adjacent to a processing facility so is unique and no other parcel in the area has this capability. The reduced travel distance will be an asset to Page 34 of 36 Page 688 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 the environment in reducing the ultimate carbon footprint of the operation. Utilizing other sites within the area would create the need for an additional processing plant which would add to the mining area footprint and lands needed for disturbance. • The mine site is located directly adjacent to SR 82 which is a major roadway corridor providing access to Collier, Lee, and Hendry Counties. • Finally, the subject site is located directly adjacent to the existing processing facility. Research of alternative sites equivalent to the expansion area reveals that no equivalent sites are available for mining by Immokalee Sand. After working through the alternatives, avoidance, and minimization criteria, any wetland impacts that cannot be avoided must be mitigated for. The following wetland mitigation is proposed to compensate for the unavoidable impacts. The wetland mitigation program proposed involves purchase of wetland mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank.. As demonstrated through UMAM calculations/analyses, it is anticipated that this mitigation program will compensate for the project's proposed wetland impacts. A.

CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ANALYSIS Development of the Immokalee Sand Mine expansion area will necessitate impacts to two on - site wetlands that, together, total 6.6 acres. These wetlands are isolated and substantially degraded, with UMAM scores ranging from a low of 0.27 to a high of 0.43. The proposed mitigation credit purchase will compensate for these proposed impacts. In addition, the on -site wetland enhancement program will also improve the functional value of wetland and upland habitats located in the preserve area though this improvement is not being applied towards the project's mitigation requirements. The wetlands to be impacted are all located within the West Collier watershed (drainage basin). Since the proposed wetland impacts will be fully compensated by mitigation banks credits from a bank located in the same drainage basin as the impacts, there should be no adverse cumulative impacts upon wetlands and other surface waters within the drainage basin. The proposed project should not adversely affect the quality of receiving waters located in the drainage basin. Appropriate best management practices employed during project construction and operation will ensure protection of off -site water quality. The project's stormwater management system has been designed to provide water quality treatment and attenuation that meets applicable design standards/criteria. Because of this, discharges from the project's lake following mine reclamation should also not adversely impact water quality in off -site wetlands or OSWs. All the wetlands proposed for impacts are completely isolated, being surrounded by active agricultural operations. This factor, coupled with the disturbed and degraded characteristics of these wetlands and their small size, prevents the wetlands from having any appreciable current contributions to the water resources in the overall drainage basin. The Western Collier drainage basin is extensive and contains several areas where future development is either already permitted or is anticipated. It is assumed that other development projects in the basin seeking to impact wetlands similar to those on the Mine property will typically provide mitigation for these impacts in the same basin. It can also be reasonably assumed that this mitigation will fully compensate for the wetland functions lost via proposed impacts and that the projects will adequately protect regional water quality, otherwise the projects would not receive necessary permits. The impacts of these other projects combined with those of the Mine project should therefore not cause unacceptable cumulative impacts upon wetlands and OSWs in the Western Collier watershed.

(ACI) in February and March 2016. The purpose of this survey was to locate and identify any cultural resources within the property and to assess their significance in terms of eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). This survey was conducted in compliance with a request from the Florida Division of Historical Resources (FDHR 2010 and Bendus 2016) and meets requirements set forth in Chapters 267 and 373, Florida Statutes (FS), Florida's Coastal Management program, and implementing state regulations regarding possible impact to significant historical properties, as well as Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, per U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requirements. Archaeological: Review of the Florida Master Site File (FMSF), and the NRHP, indicated that no archaeological sites have been previously recorded within the Immokalee Sand Mine property. Background research indicated a moderate to low potential for the presence of archaeological sites within the survey area. As a result of field survey, no archaeological sites were found but two archaeological occurrences (AO) were found. According to the FMSF, an AO is defined as "the presence of one or two nondiagnostic artifacts, not known to be distant from their original context which fit within a hypothetical cylinder of 30 meters diameter, regardless of depth below surface." Thus, occurrences are not recorded as sites but do note prehistoric activity within the general area. Historic Structures: Review of the FMSF and the NRHP indicated that no historic structures (50 years of age or older) have been previously recorded within the Immokalee Sand Mine property, and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Immokalee, Fla. Quadrangle map (1958, PR 1987) indicated no potential for the presence of historic structures within the survey area. As a result of field survey, no historic structures were identified or recorded within the project area. Based on these findings, project development/mining of the property will have no impact on any significant cultural resources, including those properties listed, determined eligible, or considered potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP. No further research is recommended.

The project area is located within Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Sections 6 and 7 (Figure 1.1). This survey complies with Chapters 267 and 373, Florida Statutes (FS), Florida's Coastal Management Program, and implementing state regulations regarding possible impact to historic properties listed, or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as well as Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The resulting report meets the standards contained in Chapter 1A-46, Florida Administrative Code and follows the guidelines in the Cultural Resource Management Standards and Operational Manual (Florida Division of Historical Resources [FDHR] 2003). 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this CRAS was to locate and identify any prehistoric and historic period archaeological sites and historic structures located within the Immokalee property, and to assess their significance in terms of eligibility for listing in the NRHP. The historical and archaeological survey was conducted in February and March 2016.

Page 697 of 1180 2-1 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW The Immokalee Sand Mine property is located in Sections 6 and 7 of Township 46 South, Range 29 East, north of the city of Immokalee and immediately north of SR 82, a mile west of SR 29 in northwest Collier County (Figure 2.1). Wetlands are abundant in the region. Corkscrew Swamp and Baucom Cypress Strand are located south of the project area. In addition, Lake Trafford lies approximately three miles west of the property. The project area is comprised of about 850 acres of upland and approximately 32 acres of surface waters including ponds, drainage ditches, and 15 acres of wetlands. In addition, agricultural lands include row crops, cattle pasture, and citrus groves - the trees having been removed in 2013. Mining of the property will include approximately 606.85 acres which will be excavated. Future land use will include a 589-acre lake, 144 acres of dry prairie, 73 acres of roads, 40 acres of citrus, 20 acres of freshwater marsh, 13 acres of wet prairie, 6 acres of palm hammock, 6 acres of willow marsh, 6 acres of ditches and 1 acre of herbaceous wetlands (Cemex Construction Materials Florida, LLC). The area lies in the Unnamed Ditches drainage sub basin of the West Caloosahatchee drainage basin of the Caloosahatchee river water shed. Following are representative samples of what the project currently looks like (Photos 2.1-2.6). Photo 2.1. South view of relict citrus grove on property.

Paleoenvironmental Considerations: The prehistoric environment of Collier County and the surrounding area was different from that which is seen today. Sea levels were much lower, the climate was drier, and potable water was scarce. Given the changes in water resource availability, botanical communities, and faunal resources, an understanding of human ecology during the earliest periods of human occupation in Florida cannot be founded upon observations of the modern environment. Aboriginal inhabitants would have developed cultural adaptations in response to the environmental changes taking place. These alterations were reflected in prehistoric settlement patterns, site types, site locations, artifact forms, and variations in the resources used. Dunbar (1981:95) notes that due to the and conditions during the period between 16,500 and 12,500 years ago, "the perched water aquifer and potable water supplies were absent." Palynological studies conducted in Florida and Georgia suggest that between 13,000 and 5000 years ago, this area was covered with an upland vegetation community of scrub oak and prairie (Watts 1969, 1971, 1975). The rise of sea level severely reduced xeric habitats over the next several millennia. By 5000 years ago, southern pine forests were replacing the oak savannahs. Extensive marshes and swamps developed along the coasts and subtropical hardwood forests became established along the southern tip of Florida (Delcourt and Delcourt 1981). Northern Florida saw an increase in oak species, grasses and sedges (Carbone 1983). At Lake Annie in south-central Florida, pollen cores are dominated by wax myrtle and pine. The assemblage suggests that by this time a forest dominated by longleaf pine, along with cypress swamps and bayheads, existed in the area (Watts 1971, 1975). Roughly five millennia ago, surface water was plentiful in karst terrains and the level of the Floridan aquifer rose to five feet above present levels. After this time, modern floral and climatic and environmental conditions began to be established (Watts 1975). With the onset of the modern environmental conditions, numerous micro -environments were available to the aboriginal inhabitants in the area. By 4000 B.C.E., ground water had reached current levels, and the shift to warmer, moister conditions saw the appearance of hardwood forests, bayheads, cypress swamps, prairie, and marshlands. P16006 Page 702 of 1180 3-1 3.0 CULTURAL HISTORY A discussion of the culture history of a region provides a framework within which the local archaeological and historic records can be examined. Archaeological and historic sites are not individual entities, but are the remains of once dynamic cultural systems. As a result, they cannot be adequately examined or interpreted without reference to other sites and resources within the area. In general, archaeologists summarize the culture history of an area (i.e., an archaeological region) by outlining the sequence of archaeological cultures through time. These cultures are defined largely in geographical terms but also reflect shared environmental and cultural factors. The project area is situated within the Caloosahatchee region (Figure 3.1), which extends from Charlotte Harbor on the north to the northern border of the Ten Thousand Islands on the south and inland about 54 miles (Carr and Beriault 1984:4, 12; Griffin 1988; Milanich 1994). The Caloosahatchee region is better understood after the introduction of pottery (ca. 500 BCE [Before Common Era]). Prior to this, regional characteristics of native populations are not easily identified, as malleable materials such as textiles and basketry, which lend themselves to cultural expression, are typically destroyed by environmental processes. With the arrival of pottery, the clay medium provided both a means of cultural expression and an archaeologically durable artifact. Thus, the use of pottery as a marker of cultural diversity probably post-dates the inception of distinct Florida cultures by many centuries. The aceramic Paleo-Indian and Archaic periods are followed by the Caloosahatchee cultural sequence (500 BCE to 1500 CE [Common Era]) at which point the bearers of the Caloosahatchee culture enter into the ethnographic record as the Calusa Indians. The following overview is based on data from Griffin (1988, 2002), Widmer (1988), and Milanich (1994). The local history of the region is divided into four broad periods based initially upon the major governmental powers. The first period, Colonialism, occurred during the exploration and control of Florida by the Spanish and British from around 1513 until 1821. At that time, Florida became a territory of the United States and 21 years later became a State (Territorial and Statehood). The Civil War and Aftermath (1861-1899) period deals with the Civil War, the period of Reconstruction following the war, and the late 1800s, when the transportation systems were dramatically increased and development throughout the state expanded. The Twentieth Century period has subperiods defined by important historic events such as the World Wars, the Boom of the 1920s, and the Depression. Each of these periods evidenced differential development and utilization of the region, thus effecting the historic archeological site distribution. 3.1 Paleo-Indian The Paleo-Indian stage is the earliest known cultural manifestation in Florida, dating from roughly 12,000 to 7500 BCE (Milanich 1994). Archaeological evidence for Paleo-Indians consists primarily of scattered finds of diagnostic lanceolate -shaped projectile points. The Florida peninsula at this time was quite different than today. In general, the climate was cooler and drier with vegetation typified by xerophytic species with scrub oak, pine, open grassy prairies, and savannas being the most common (Milanich 1994:40). When human populations were arriving in Florida, the sea levels were still as much as 40 to 60 m (130-200 ft) below present levels and coastal regions of Florida extended miles beyond present-day shorelines (Faught 2004). Thus, many of these sites have been inundated (cf., Faught and Donoghue 1997).

Florida Archaeological Regions. The project area (*) is within the Caloosahatchee Region. Ei-I Page 704 of 1180 3-3 The Paleo-Indian period has been sub -divided into three horizons based upon characteristic tool forms (Austin 2001). Traditionally, it is believed that the Clovis Horizon (10,500-9000 BCE) represents the initial occupation of Florida and is defined based upon the presence of the fluted Clovis points. These are somewhat more common in north Florida, although Robinson (1979) does illustrate a few points from the central Gulf Coast area. However, recent work, may indicate that Suwannee and Simpson points are contemporary with or predate Clovis (Dunbar 2006a; Stanford 1991). The Suwannee Horizon (9000-8500 BCE) is the best known of the Paleo-Indian horizons. The lanceolate - shaped, unfluted Simpson and Suwannee projectile points are diagnostic of this period (Bullen 1975; Daniel and Wisenbaker 1987; Purdy 1981). The Suwannee tool kit includes a variety of scrapers, adzes, spokeshaves, unifacially retouched flakes, flakes with beaked projections, and blade -like flakes as well as bone and ivory foreshafts, pins, awls, daggers, anvils, and abraders (Austin 2001:23). Following the Suwannee Horizon is the Late Paleo-Indian Horizon (8500-8000 BCE). The smaller Tallahassee, Santa Fe, and Beaver Lake projectile points have traditionally been attributed to this horizon (Milanich 1994). However, many of these points have been recovered stratigraphically from late Archaic and early Woodland period components and thus, may not date to this time period at all (Austin 2001; Farr 2006). Florida notched or pseudo -notched points, including the Union, Greenbriar, and Hardaway -like points may represent late Paleo-Indian types, but these types have not been recovered from datable contexts and their temporal placement remains uncertain (Dunbar 2006a:410). Archaeologists hypothesize that Paleo-Indians lived in migratory bands and subsisted by gathering and hunting, including the now -extinct Pleistocene megafauna. Since it was cooler and drier, it is likely that these nomadic hunters traveled between permanent and semi -permanent sources of water, such as artesian springs, exploiting the available resources. These watering holes would have attracted the animals that the Indians hunted, thus providing both food and drink. In addition to being tied to water sources, most of the Paleo-Indian sites are also proximate to sources of good quality lithic resources. This settlement pattern is considered logistical, i.e. the establishment of semi- permanent habitation areas and the movement of the resources from their sources of procurement to the residential locale by specialized task groups (Austin 2001:25). Although the Paleo-Indian period is generally considered to have been cooler and drier, there were major variations in the inland water tables resulting from large-scale environmental fluctuations. There have been two major theories as to why most Paleo-Indian materials have been recovered from inundated sites. The Oasis theory posits that due to low water tables and scarcity of potable water, the Paleo-Indians and game animals upon which they depended clustered around the few available water holes that were associated with sinkholes (Neill 1964). Waller postulated that the Paleo-Indians gathered around river -crossings to ambush the large Pleistocene animals as they crossed the rivers (Waller 1970). This implies periods of elevated water levels. Based on the research along the Aucilla and Wacissa Rivers, it appears that both theories are correct, depending upon what the local environmental conditions were at that time (Dunbar 2006b). As such, during the wetter periods, populations became more dispersed because the water resources were abundant and the animals they relied on could roam over a wider range. Some of the information about this period has been derived from the underwater excavations at two inland spring sites in Sarasota County: Little Salt Spring and Warm Mineral Springs (Clausen et al. 1979). Excavation at the Harney Flats Site in Hillsborough County has provided a rich body of data concerning Paleo-Indian life ways. Analysis indicates that this site was used as a quarry -related base camp with special use activity areas (Daniel and Wisenbaker 1987). It has been suggested that Paleo-Indian settlement may not have been related as much to seasonal changes as generally postulated for the succeeding Archaic period, but instead movement was perhaps related to the scheduling of tool -kit replacement, social needs, and the availability of water, among other factors (Daniel and Wisenbaker 1987:175). Investigations along the Aucilla and Wacissa Rivers, as well as P16006 Page 705 of 1180 3-4 other sites within the north Florida rivers have provided important information on the Paleo-Indian period and how the aboriginals adapted to their environmental setting (Webb 2006). Studies of the Pleistocene faunal remains from these sites clearly demonstrate the importance of these animals not for food alone, but as he raw material for their bone tool industry (Dunbar and Webb 1996). 3.2 Archaic As the Paleo-Indian period gradually ended, climatic changes occurred and the Pleistocene megafauna disappeared. The disappearance of the mammoths and mastodons resulted in a reduction of open grazing lands, and thus, the subsequent disappearance of grazers such as horse, bison, and camels. With the reduction of open habitat, the herd animals were replaced by the more solitary, woodland browser: the white-tailed deer (Dunbar 2006a:426). The intertwined data of megafauna extinction and cultural change suggests a rapid and significant disruption in both faunal and floral assemblages and the Bolen people represent the first culture adapted to the Holocene environment (Carter and Dunbar 2006). This included a more specialized toolkit and the introduction of chipped - stone woodworking implements. However, because of a lack of excavated collections and the poor preservation of bone and other organic materials in the upland sites, our knowledge of the Early Archaic tool assemblage is limited (Carter and Dunbar 2006; Milanich 1994). Discoveries at the Page-Ladson, Little Salt Spring, and Windover sites indicate that bone and wood tools were used (Clausen et al. 1979; Doran 2002; Webb 2006). The archaeological record suggests a diffuse, yet well -scheduled, pattern of exploiting both coastal and interior resources. Because water sources were much more numerous and larger than previously, it was possible to sustain larger populations, occupy sites for longer periods, and perform activities that required longer occupation at specific locales (Milanich 1994:67). By approximately 6500 years ago marked environmental changes, which had profound influence upon human settlement and subsistence practices, occurred. Humans adapted to this changing environment and regional and local differences are reflected in the archaeological record (Russo 1994a, 1994b; Sassaman 2008). Among the landscape alterations were rises in sea and water table levels that resulted in the creation of more available surface water. It was during this period that Lake Okeechobee, the Everglades, the Big Cypress, and the Caloosahatchee and Peace Rivers developed. In addition to changed hydrological conditions, this period is characterized by the spread of mesic forests and the beginnings of modern vegetation communities including pine forests and cypress swamps (Griffin 1988; Widmer 1988). The archaeological record for the Middle Archaic is better understood than the Early Archaic. Among the material culture inventory are several varieties of stemmed, broad blade projectile points including those of the Newnan, Levy, Marion, and Putnam types (Bullen 1975). At sites where preservation is good, such as sinkholes and ponds, an elaborate bone tool assemblage is recognized along with shell tools and complicated weaving (Beriault et al. 1981; Wheeler 1994). In addition, artifacts have been found in the surrounding upland areas. Along the coast, excavations on both Horr's Island in Collier County and Useppa Island in Lee County (Milanich et al. 1984; Russo 1991) have uncovered pre -ceramic shell middens that date to the Middle Archaic period. The Horr's Island shell ring is accompanied by at least three ceremonial mounds. Large architectural features such as these were designed to divide, separate, and elevate above other physical positions within the settlement as a reflection and reinforcement of the society's social segmentation (Russo 2008:21). P16006 Page 706 of 1180 3-5 Mortuary sites, characterized by interments in shallow ponds and sloughs as discovered at the Little Salt Springs Site in Sarasota County (Clausen et al. 1979) and the Bay West Site in Collier County (Beriault et al. 1981), are also distinctive of the Middle Archaic. Population growth, as evidenced by the increased number of Middle Archaic sites and accompanied by increased socio- cultural complexity, is also assumed (Russo 1994b, 2008; Widmer 1988). The beginning of the Late (or Ceramic) Archaic is similar in many respects to the Middle Archaic but includes the addition of ceramics. The earliest pottery was fiber -tempered (Orange Plain and Orange Incised). Orange series ceramics have been recovered from a number of sites in southwest Florida (Bullen and Bullen 1956; Cockrell 1970; Luer 1989c, 1999; Marquardt 1992b, 1999; Russo 1991; Widmer 1974). Although semi -fiber -tempered wares are generally attributed to the late Orange period, analysis of such sherds from a number of sites indicates that this type of ceramic occurred throughout the Orange period (Cordell 2004). Projectile points of the Late Archaic are primarily stemmed and corner -notched, and include those of the Culbreath, Clay, and Lafayette types (Bullen 1975). Other lithic tools of the Late Archaic include hafted scrapers and ovate and triangular - shaped knives (Milanich and Fairbanks 1980). Archaeological evidence indicates that South Florida was sparsely settled during this time, with only a few sites recorded. 3.3 Caloosahatchee The termination of the Late or Ceramic Archaic corresponds to a time of environmental change. The maturing of productive estuarine systems was accompanied by cultural changes leading to the establishment of what John Goggin defined as the "Glades Tradition" (Griffin 1988:133). It was characterized by "the exploitation of the food resources of the tropical coastal waters, with secondary dependence on game and some use of wild plant foods. Agriculture was apparently never practiced, but pottery was extensively used" (Goggin 1949:28). Unlike much of peninsular Florida, the region does not contain deposits of chert, and as such stone artifacts are rare. Instead of stone, shell and bone were used as raw materials for tools (Milanich 1994:302). Most information concerning the post-500 BCE aboriginal populations is derived from coastal sites where the subsistence patterns are typified by the extensive exploitation of fish and shellfish, wild plants, and inland game, like deer. Although Widmer postulated environmental stability for the Calusa, this was far from the truth based upon the recent environmental reconstructions (Walker 2013; Widmer 1988). Inland sites show a greater, if not exclusive reliance on interior resources. Known inland sites often consist of sand burial mounds and shell and dirt middens along major water courses, and small dirt middens containing animal bone and ceramic sherds in oak/palm hammocks, or palm tree islands associated with freshwater marshes (Griffin 1988). These islands of dry ground provided space for settlements (Carr 2002). The settlement pattern of the Caloosahatchee people at this time consisted of large villages (10 hectares [ha] (25 acres [ac]) in size with about 400 people), small villages (3-4 ha [9 ac] / 50 people), and fishing hamlets and/or collection stations (< 1 ha [2.5 ac], temporary, task specific site) (Widmer 1988). The larger sites are located in the coastal areas, whereas most of the interior sites are seen as short-term hunting stations occupied by special task groups from the permanent coastal villages (Widmer 1988:226). Caloosahatchee 1, ca. 500 BCE to 500 CE, is characterized by thick, sand -tempered plain sherds with rounded lips, some St. Johns Plain ceramics, the appearance of Pineland Plain ceramics (tempered with sponge spicules and medium to fine quartz sand), and the absence of Belle Glade ceramics (Marquardt 1999:85). Based on the faunal analysis from Useppa Island and Pineland, fish P16006 Page 707 of 1180 3-6 was the primary meat source with whelks and conchs being the primary shellfish food. Botanical materials utilized include chenopod, panic grass, talinum, mallow, red mangrove, waxmyrtle, pine, buttonwood, and seagrape (Marquardt 1999:87). Data on burial customs for this time are unknown; on Pineland, the use of burial mounds began around 1000 CE (Marquardt and Walker 2013). From 500 to 1200 CE, the Caloosahatchee II period is marked by a dramatic increase of Belle Glade ceramics in the area. Cordell (1992) has divided the Caloosahatchee II period into IIA and IIB based on the appearance of Belle Glade Red ceramics at about 800 CE. In addition, the IIA and IIB time ranges roughly correlate with two contrasting climate/sea-level episodes (Walker 2013). These changes in ceramics may also indicate the resurgence of ceremonial mound use, a characteristic of the period. Burials occurred in sand mounds and in natural sand ridges with both primary flexed and secondary bundle burials. The number of shell middens or village sites increased (Milanich 1994:319) and evidence of ranked societies appears (Widmer 1988:93). The Wightman Site has three non - mortuary ceremonial mounds connected by shell causeways (Fradkin 1976). In addition, the large Pineland Canal appears to have been constructed at this time (Luer 1989a, 1989b). It is possible that the large Pineland complex served as the center of Calusa society at this time (cf. Milanich 1995:44). During this time, it had been postulated that sea levels were higher than during the Caloosahatchee I period, or that the coastal area was under greater influence from nearby ocean inlets. This is based on the higher diversity of faunal remains and the increased number higher salinity based food stuffs (Walker 1992). The number of shell midden or village sites increased, and shell tools (hafted shell hammers and cutting edged tools) became more diverse (Marquardt 1992a:429; Milanich 1994:319). The Caloosahatchee III period, ca. 1200 to 1350 CE, is identified by the appearance of St. Johns Check Stamped and Pinellas Plain ceramics (Cordell 1992). Belle Glade Plain ceramics continue to be the dominant type, with sand tempered plain and Pineland Plain. Marquardt (1992a:430) notes that there were no obvious changes in the settlement and subsistence patterns based upon the archaeological evidence even though this is the beginning of the Little Ice Age (Marquardt 2013). Sand burial mounds continued to be utilized, often containing Englewood and Safety Harbor vessels. A number of mounds from this period have had radially placed extended burials within the mounds (Luer and Almy 1987). From 1400 to 1513 CE, the Caloosahatchee IV period is characterized by the appearance of numerous trade wares from all adjoining regions of Florida (Widmer 1988:86). These types include Glades Tooled and pottery of the Safety Harbor series. There was also a decrease in popularity of Belle Glade Plain ceramics (Milanich 1994:321). Sand tempered plain pottery, with square and flattened lips, is the most common (Cordell 1992:168). There is also an increase in Pineland Plain ceramics. Around 1400 CE, the use of incising on ceramics in the Glades and Caloosahatchee regions ceased and the ceramic assemblages of the two areas were very homogeneous (Marquardt 1992a:431). Some have suggested that this represents an expansion of the Calusa within this area (Griffin 1988; McGregor 1974). Large villages sites continued to accumulate midden-mounds and the dead were interred in sand burial mounds (Marquardt 2013). 3.4 Colonialism The Caloosahatchee V period, ca. 1513 to 1750 CE, is coterminous with the period of European contact. The only difference between Caloosahatchee III and IV is the presence of European artifacts. The Caloosahatchee area was the home territory of the Calusa, a sedentary, non- agricultural, highly stratified and politically complex chiefdom (Milanich 1998). Calusa villages along the coast are marked by extensive shellworks and earthworks. Sites are marked by the appearance of European artifacts in association with aboriginal artifacts. It was also at this time that P16006 Page 708 of 1180 3-7 metal pendants were being manufactured by aboriginal metal smiths (Allerton et al. 1984). In addition, cultural materials from the Leon -Jefferson Mission Period in north Florida have also been recovered (Widmer 1988:86). This may be evidence of Indians fleeing Spanish missionaries and moving into southwest Florida. Spanish missionaries and European explorers found areas of large population on the southwest Florida coast, through there were interior occupations as well (Hann 1991). During the historic period, there was no reason to doubt that the Indians of southwest Florida continued to subsist mainly on resources of the sea, though they are said to have been fond of Spanish food and drink (Marquardt 1992a:431). Burial patterns also remained similar to the earlier periods, but included some European goods. The most striking feature of the Caloosahatchee mortuary pattern is its continuity through time and general lack of grave goods (Walker et al. 1996:23). Between 1513 and 1558, Spain launched several expeditions of exploration and, ultimately failed, colonization of La Florida. Archaeological evidence of contact can be found in the form of European trade goods such as glass beads, bells, and trinkets recovered from village sites. Prior to the settlement of St. Augustine in 1565, European contact with the indigenous peoples was sporadic and brief, however, the repercussions were devastating. The southeastern Native American population of 1500 has been estimated at 1.5 to 2 million (Dobyns 1983). Following exposure to Old World diseases such as bubonic plague, dysentery, influenza, and smallpox, epidemics to which they had no immunity, the Native American population of the New World was reduced by as much as 90% (Ramenofsky 1987). The social consequences of such a swift and merciless depopulation were staggering. Within 87 years of Ponce de Leon's landing, the Mississippian cultures of the Southeast were collapsed (Smith 1987). In 1708, the Spanish government reported that three hundred refugees were all that remained of the original Florida population (Mulroy 1993). Along the Gulf Coast between Charlotte Harbor and Tampa Bay, Spanish and Cuban fishermen established communities, or "ranchos," with the earliest being at Useppa Island and San Carlos Bay (Hammond 1973; Palov 1999). There is growing archaeological evidence that the surviving Native Americans of the region were assimilated into these mixed communities (Almy 2001; Hann 1991; Neill 1968; Palov 1999). These west coast ranchos supplied dried fish to Cuban and northern markets until the mid-1830s, when the Seminole Indian Wars and customs control closed the fisheries. During the two centuries following the settlement of St. Augustine, the Spanish widened their Florida holdings to include the settlement at Pensacola and a garrison at Saint Marks. With the English to the north and the French to the west, the Spanish colony of La Florida was extremely fragile. In the early 1700s, Spain invited some of the Lower Creek Indians displaced by British settlements into La Florida to provide a hostile buffer against the British (Mulroy 1993). What formed as a border population evolved as other bands of Lower Creek extraction moved into the peninsula. This first migration formed a confederation, which included Cowkeeper and his Alachua band, the Apalachicolas, and the Mikasukis (Mulroy 1993). The Treaty of Paris (1763) reallocated the English, French, and Spanish holdings in the New World. As a result, Florida was ceded to the English. After this, bands of Upper Creek, Muskogee speakers, began moving into Florida, increasing the Native American population to around two thousand by 1790 (Mulroy 1993). Although cultural distinctions existed between the various Native American groups entering Florida, Europeans collectively called them Seminoles: The word Seminole means runaway or broken off. Hence Seminole is a distinctive appellation, applicable to all the Indians in the Territory of Florida, as all of them run away, or broke off, from the Creek or Nuiscoge [Muskogee] nation (United States Congress 1837). P16006 Page 709 of 1180 The Seminoles formed, at various times, loose confederacies for mutual protection against the new American Nation to the north (Tebeau 1980:72) which considered them to be "the wildest and fiercest remnant of a tribe which has been distinguished for their ceaseless opposition to the arts of civilization" (United States Congress 1850). The Seminoles were joined by escaped slaves from South Carolina and Georgia (Porter 1996), "many of whom were seduced from the service of their masters" (Jackson et al. 1817-1818). The loss of slave labor, particularly in light of the abolitionists' movement in the northeast, coupled with the anxiety of having a free and hostile slave population immediately to the south, caused great concern among plantation owners. This historically underestimated nuance of the Seminole Wars prompted General Thomas S. Jesup to say "This you may be assured is a negro and not an Indian War" (Knetsch 2003:104). Following the treaty of Paris (1763), the ensuing decades witnessed the American Revolution during which English loyalists immigrated to Florida. Following the Revolution, the second Treaty of Paris (1783) returned Florida to Spain; however, Spanish influence was nominal during this second period of ownership. For the next 36 years, Spain, from the vantage of Florida, watched with growing concern as the infant American Nation to the north gained momentum. When the United States acquired the Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803, Spain was hemmed in. When the Seminoles began cross border raids from Spanish Florida into the United States, General Andrew Jackson was commission to defend the nation. His orders permitted him to cross the international border to pursue Seminoles, but he was to respect Spanish authority. General Jackson's subsequent actions belie either tacit instructions or a personal agenda, as he killed hundreds of Indians and runaway slaves, took control of several Spanish garrisons and towns, confiscated the Spanish royal archives, named an American as governor of the area, and announced that the Spanish economic laws would be replaced by the revenue laws of the United States (Tebeau 1980). This aggression understandably strained relations between the United States and Spain. Spain, who had more pressing concerns with its Central and South American colonies, ceded Florida to the United States in the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819 in exchange for the territory west of the Sabine River. 3.5 Territorial and Statehood Andrew Jackson, named provisional governor of Florida, divided the territory into St. Johns and Escambia Counties. At that time, St. Johns County encompassed all of Florida lying east of the Suwannee River, and Escambia County included the land lying to the west. In the first territorial census in 1825, some 317 persons reportedly lived in South Florida; by 1830 that number had risen to 517 (Tebeau 1980:134). Although what became known as the First Seminole War (the cross border hostilities between the United States and the Seminoles) was fought in north Florida, the Treaty of Moultrie Creek in 1823, at the end of the war, was to affect the settlement of south Florida. In exchange for occupancy of a four million acre reservation south of Ocala and north of Charlotte Harbor, the Seminoles relinquished their claim to the remainder of the peninsula (Covington 1958; Mahon 1985). The treaty satisfied neither the Indians nor the settlers. The inadequacy of the reservation, the desperate situation of the Seminoles, and the demand of would-be settlers for their removal, produced another conflict. By 1835, the Second Seminole War was underway, initiated with the Seminole attack on Major Dade's company en route to Fort King. Although much of the Second Seminole War occurred in central Florida, as the Seminoles fled southward into the Big Cypress and Everglades, U.S. forces pursued them. At approximately the time when engagements were entering this part of the state, a shift in military installation paradigm occurred. In October 1840, U.S. Secretary of War Joel Poinsett P16006 Page 710 of 1180 3-9 advised commander Armistead that the construction of fixed post installations should be discontinued and temporary depots should be adopted (Knetsch 2003). This new strategy was a direct response to the guerilla -like warfare utilized by the Seminoles and an abandonment of European -modeled set piece warfare. Because of this directive, the landscape of south Florida was dotted with depots and only slightly more substantial "forts." The forts of south Florida very rarely approximated the size and permanency of forts such as Brooke, King, and Mellon. The federal government ended the Second Seminole War in 1842 by withdrawing troops from Florida. At the war's end, some of the battle -weary Seminoles were persuaded to emigrate to the Oklahoma Indian Reservation where the federal government had set aside land for them. After much political deliberation over the fate of black Seminoles (Knetsch 2003:126), approximately 500 black Seminoles were allowed to accompany the "red Seminoles" west (Porter 1996). Those Seminoles who wished to remain in Florida were allowed to do so, but the reservation boundary was redrawn, reducing Seminole lands to the south and west of Lake Istokpoga in Highlands County. In an attempt to prohibit contact between the Seminole and Cuban fishermen, the offshore islands were excluded from the territory (Covington 1982:3). The government considered these two and one half million acres "a temporary hunting and planting reserve" (Covington 1982:3), and continued to pressure the remaining Seminoles to leave by "sending a delegation of their tribe, which have emigrated West, to visit their brethren in Florida, and explain to them the advantages of rejoining their tribe" (United States Congress 1850). In 1845, the Union admitted the State of Florida with Tallahassee as the state capital and survey and exploration of the Big Cypress and Okeechobee areas was intensified. Tension mounted as the Seminoles watched with growing alarm the passage of military patrols and survey parties, and complaints were made to Indian Agent Captain Casey that such activities made hostilities inevitable (Covington 1982:30). Patrols typically found little remaining of previous military installations, however navigation and location was always in doubt given the limited cartography and featureless swamps. One officer lamented that "The maps represent the shape of the Big Cypress so differently in this portion of it and also the course of the creek Okholoakooche [Okaloacoochee Slough] from what I found that I felt doubts if I had yet reached the right place" . On January 22, 1855, Lt. George Hartsuff, appointed topographical engineer and main surveyor, began exploration of the Big Cypress and Everglades. During this time, he helped establish Forts Simon Drum and Shackleford. When the rainy season of June 1855 set in, survey was suspended and Hartsuff began work on his field notes and maps. In a sketch furnished to the War Department, he showed the exact location of many Indian villages and noted that he had been into the chief haunt of the Indians that contained most of their villages, gardens, and cattle pens (Covington 1982:35). Sampson Forrester, a Black Seminole, provided the following account of the Seminole existence in the swamps: Within the swamp are many pine -islands, upon which the villages are located. They are susceptible of cultivation; and between them is a cypress swamp, the water from two to three feet deep. The Indians rely principally upon their crops, which, though small, add much to their comfort. Corn, pumpkins, beans, wild potatoes, and cabbage palmetto, afford subsistence. The scarcity of powder deprives them partially of game; though bears and turkey are frequently killed with arrows. Discharging a rifle was forbidden, as in a country so flat and wet the reverberation is in abundance; but there they apprehend discovery. A few ponies, cattle, hogs, and chickens are owned by the chief (Tampa Tribune 1955). P16006 Page 711 of 1180 3-10 On December 7, 1855, Lieutenant Hartsuff again set out for the Big Cypress with orders to make reconnaissance and take note of any Indian fields and settlements (Covington 1982:1). Within a few days, the company found the charred ashes of Forts Simon Drum and Shackelford, which had been abandoned during the rainy season. Every Indian village entered was found to be deserted, and when leaving Billy Bowlegs' village on December 18, 1855, artillerymen took bunches of planted bananas. Later, in the day, the company received orders to return to Fort Myers and they began the trip westward. They camped for the evening in a small grove south of present day Immokalee; 30 Seminole warriors led by Billy Bowlegs ambushed them at 5:00 AM (Covington 1982:1). In what was perhaps the result of misunderstood aggression, and tragically ill-timed orders (had they only left a day earlier), the Third, and final, Seminole War began. For the following two and a half years, hit and miss skirmishes extended from the Big Cypress and Everglades to Darby in Pasco County and New Smyrna Beach in Volusia County. Through this period, U.S. military strategy ranged from the use of poorly disciplined militia, to aggressive campaigns, to truce offerings. After several previous betrayals, the Seminoles did not respond to the latter tactic. By the summer of 1857, the focus was on Billy Bowlegs in the Big Cypress. This effort was greatly aided by the use of shallow draft boats (Covington 1982). When found, villages were burned, fields were destroyed, horses and cattle were slaughtered, and Seminoles captured. As Seminole warriors were occupied hunting or scouting, captured villagers were typically women and children, the wounded, and the elderly. On November 19, 1857, Captain William Cone's company discovered an occupied village. Two Seminole guards were killed and five women, thirteen children, and a wounded warrior were taken prisoner (Covington 1982:72). Given the importance of remaining undetected, Seminole children were taught very early to be quiet: The first thing we're taught when we're little is to watch where we step, so as not to step on a snake. The next thing we're taught is to be quiet and good and mind the older people. They pointed out why we should be good. White men were the reason. They told us about the wars and how the Indians had to run off the islands in the saw grass in the Everglades, through the swamps, away from the white soldiers. A child who wasn't quiet and wasn't good might be left behind. And he would be carried back to the white folks by the soldiers. I can tell you, this scared you! —Buffalo Tiger (Reno 1994:103). After years of running, struggling to provide for his people, and mounting attacks when possible, Billy Bowlegs finally surrendered to federal forces at Fort Myers. On May 4, 1858, the ship Grey Cloud departed Fort Myers for Egmont Key with 38 warriors and 85 women and children. An additional 45 captives were boarded at Egmont, and the ship set sail for New Orleans where they would depart for Oklahoma. Although some Seminoles remained in the Big Cypress and the Everglades, the U.S. government did not deem it worthy to pursue them. This half-starved and battle weary population was left to eke out an existence in the south Florida swamps (Covington 1982). As settlers moved into the Big Cypress region, cattle ranching served as one of the earliest important economic activities reported in the region. Mavericks left by early Spanish explorers such as Desoto and Narva6z provided the stock for the herds raised by the mid -eighteenth century "Cowkeeper" Seminoles. As the Seminoles were pushed further south during the Seminole Wars and their cattle were either sold or left to roam, settlers captured or bought the cattle. By the late 1850s, the cattle industry of southwestern Florida was developing on a significant scale. By 1860, cattlemen from all over Florida drove their herds to Fort Brooke (Tampa) and Punta Rassa for shipment to Cuba, at a considerable profit. During this period, Jacob Summerlin became the first cattle baron of southwestern Florida. Known as the "King of the Crackers," Summerlin herds ranged from Ft. Meade to Ft. Myers (Covington 1957). P16006 Page 712 of 1180 3-11 3.6 Civil War and Aftermath In 1861, Florida followed South Carolina's lead and seceded from the Union as a prelude to the American Civil War. Florida had much at stake in this war as evidenced in a report released from Tallahassee in June of 1861. It listed the value of land in Florida at $35,127,721 and the value of the slaves at $29,024,513 (Dunn 1989:59). Although the Union blockaded the coast of Florida during the war, the interior of the state saw very little military action. Florida became one of the major contributors of beef to the Confederate government (Shofner 1995:72). Summerlin originally had a contract with the Confederate government to market thousands of head a year at eight dollars per head. However, by driving his cattle to Punta Rassa and shipping them to Cuba, he received 25 dollars per head (Grismer 1946:83). In an attempt to limit the supply of beef transported to the Confederate government, Union troops stationed at Ft. Myers conducted several raids into the Peace River Valley to seize cattle and destroy ranches. In response, Confederate supporters formed the Cattle Guard Battalion, consisting of nine companies under the command of Colonel Charles J. Mannerlyn (Akerman 1976). The cattlemen and the farmers in the state lived simply. The typical home was a log cabin without windows or chinking, and settlers' diets consisted largely of fried pork, corn bread, sweet potatoes, and hominy. The lack of railway transport to other states, the federal embargo, and the enclaves of Union supporters and Union troops holding key areas such as Jacksonville and Ft. Myers prevented an influx of finished materials. As a result, settlement remained limited until after the Civil War. Immediately following the war, the South underwent a period of "Reconstruction" to prepare the Confederate States for readmission to the Union. The program was administered by the U.S. Congress, and on July 25, 1868, Florida officially returned to the Union. After the war ended, southerners who faced reconstruction and rebuilding saw Florida as a frontier full of opportunity and welcome. In southwest Florida, settlers first arrived by ones or twos, drifting through the area. Many of the early arrivals, however, were apparently "squatters" (Tebeau 1966:167). In most of the early settlements, development followed the earlier pattern with few settlers, one or two stores, and a lack of available overland transportation. In the 1870s, while the region was still part of Monroe County, settlement of Collier County evolved slowly and in isolated pockets. Immokalee, Everglades City, Chokoloskee, Marco, Caxambas, Goodland, and Naples served as the early centers for settlement in the existing Collier County (Tebeau 1966:96). These first permanent pioneers were farmers; the hunters and fishermen who had preceded them established only temporary camps. As the land was largely impassable, their market was Key West, a growing city which produced almost none of its own food (Tebeau 1966). The Homestead Act, created by Congress in 1862, allowed settlers to obtain title to 160 acres by residing on and working the land. The property had to first be surveyed by the government. It was not until the 1870s that W. L. Apthorp, and M. H. Clay surveyed land within Township 46 South, Range 29 East, including the current project area. Apthorp surveyed the exterior boundary for Township 46 South, Range 29 East in 1872; and Clay surveyed the interior section lines in 1873 (State of Florida 1872, 1873a). No historic features were depicted (State of Florida 1873b). They described the land as 3rd rate prairie (State of Florida n.d.: 783). When Billy Bowlegs departed for Oklahoma, Old Tiger Tail became the de facto leader of the remaining Seminoles. He lived at the headwaters of the Okaloacoochee Slough and his holdings included cattle, agricultural fields, and Corn Dance Grounds (West 1990). In 1891, under the direction of Amelia S. Quinton, the Women's National Indian Association resolved to establish a mission near Immokalee (then known as Allen's Place) (West 1990). Dr. J. E. Brecht and his wife were hired as missionaries, and the mission consisted of a residence, a schoolhouse, barn, and fenced P16006 Page 713 of 1180 3-12 land. It was as this time that Allen's Place became known as Immokalee (Mikasuki for "home"). In 1896, trader Bill Brown established a post on the western rim of the Everglades. Over time, the missionary activities shifted from Immokalee to Brown's Landing where the Glade Cross Mission was established. As a result, when the Big Cypress Reservation boundaries were drawn, they included the Glade Cross Mission, but Immokalee was excluded. When the reservation was created, Bill Brown's son, Frank, who grew up amongst the Seminoles, was appointed the Agent for the reservation (Brown 1989). By the early 1880s, the State of Florida faced a financial crisis involving title to public lands. By act of Congress in 1850, the federal government turned over to the states for drainage and reclamation all "swamp and overflow land." Florida received approximately 10,000,000 acres. To manage that land and the 5,000,000 acres the state had received on entering the Union, the state legislature in 1851 created the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund. In 1855, the legislature established the actual fund (the Florida Internal Improvement Fund), in which state lands were to be held. The fund became mired in debt after the Civil War and under state law no land could be sold until the debt was cleared. In 1881, the Trustees started searching for a buyer capable of purchasing enough acreage to pay off the fund's debt and permit the sale of the remaining millions of acres that it controlled. Hamilton Disston, a member of a prominent Pennsylvania saw manufacturing family, in 1881, entered into agreement with the State of Florida to purchase four million acres of swamp and overflowed land for one million dollars. In exchange, he promised to drain and improve the land. This transaction, which became known as the Disston Purchase, enabled the distribution of large land subsidies to railroad companies, inducing them to begin extensive construction programs for new lines throughout the state. The purchase, although technically legal, was extremely generous with the designation "swamp and overflow land." Grismer (1946) estimates that at least half of the acreage was "high and dry." Disston and the railroad companies, in turn, sold smaller parcels of land to developers and private investors (Tebeau and Carson 1965:252). By the late 1880s, squatters were sufficient in numbers to protest when "their land" became the property of Hamilton Disston. Squatters could have purchased the land on which they had taken up residence and constructed improvements, for such a provision was made in the Disston contracts. But the early settlers believed they should each be permitted to homestead 160 acres of high and dry land. They had not been able to do so because the land was designated "swamp and overflowed" and title to it had been transferred to the state (Tebeau 1966:167). Disston's purchase included what is now Naples, and formed the Florida Land and Improvement Company. In 1886, Charles Adams bought a parcel from Disston which formed the basis for the Naples Town Improvement Company of Tallahassee. When John Williams and Walter Haldeman, both from Kentucky, decided "Naples" was the perfect place to develop a city, they bought the controlling interest in the Naples Town Improvement Company. They reorganized it, gave it new direction, and renamed it the Naples Company. With Haldeman directing the work, the company was ready, by December 1887, to embark into a new period of full-scale town building and improvement including a hotel, churches, and shops. The name "Naples" is attributed to numerous Florida developers' sales schemes to romanticize the Florida peninsula into a pleasant "Italian" seaside resort. Unfortunately, the only activity for the next few years was on paper - the buying and selling of land; little construction took place (Jamro and Lanterman 1985). In 1887, the land, which today is Collier County, became part of the newly created Lee County and remained such for 36 years until July 7, 1923 when Collier County was formed with Everglades City as county seat. It was named for Barron Gift Collier, a Memphis born businessman who promoted the region's development. All of Section 6 of the project area was purchased by the P16006 Page 714 of 1180 3-13 Florida Commercial Company in 1896; the Carrabelle, Tallahassee, and Georgia Railroad Company purchased all of Section 7 in 1894 (State of Florida n.d.:265). 3.7 Twentieth Century From 1899 until 1914, the Naples Company struggled but the town slowly grew. In 1914, E. W. Crayton, an Ohio real estate developer with a successful track record in St. Petersburg, purchased the controlling interest in the company and renamed it the Naples Improvement Company. His direction is credited with leading Naples into the future. In 1925, Naples was incorporated and by 1927, reached by two railroad lines (Dean 1991). In 1911, successful New York City advertiser, Barron Gift Collier, visited Useppa Island. Collier was captivated, "Frankly, I was fascinated with Florida and swept off my feet by what I saw and felt. It was a wonderland with a magic climate, set in a frame of golden sunshine" (Collier County Museum 2010). Over the next decade, Collier amassed over one million acres in southwest Florida and his property stretched from the Ten Thousand Islands to Useppa Island, and from the coast to the Big Cypress and the Everglades (Clement n.d.). Collier was the largest landholder in the state and created a luxury resort, the Useppa Inn which was visited by corporate giants, presidents, movie stars, authors and sports celebrities. To facilitate development, Collier made a pledge to the Florida State Legislature to complete the Tamiami Trail from Tampa to Miami (Naples Daily News 1976). The roadway was finished in 1928 and as traffic increased, southwest Florida's tourist industry was born (Scupholm 1997). The construction of the Tamiami Trail had a tremendous effect on Seminole settlement patterns. The roadway interrupted traditional canoe routes and as a result, Seminoles were forced to use the Tamiami Canal, which was created during road construction. Many Seminole families moved closer to the Tamiami Canal to facilitate canoe transportation (Carr 2002). On July 7, 1923, the state legislature created Collier County and named Everglades City as county seat. Collier became the second largest county in Florida with a land area of 2,032 square miles. At the time of its creation, the county consisted of pine and cypress land and extensive swampland. The towns within the county, Immokalee, Naples, Marco, Caxambas, Chokoloskee, Deep Lake, and Everglades City, were all small settlements separated by almost inaccessible terrain. Improvements in transportation include the 1921 Atlantic Coast Line (ACL) Railway Company's extension south from LaBelle to Immokalee. The town took on new importance and became a center for inland activity in Collier County (Tebeau 1966). While Barron Collier was promoting the Tamiami Trail, he and his supporters were also making an effort to open a direct highway route from Immokalee to the county seat of Everglades City. By 1923, an unimproved road from LaBelle through Immokalee, terminating at Deep Lake, was depicted on a Florida State Map (Kendrick 1964). This road was completed between Immokalee and Everglades City in the early 1920s (FPS 1986). Collier County induced the ACL to continue its line south to Everglades City around 1927. The two projects linked the town with outer areas of the county and the Tamiami Trail. With the arrival of the railroad and road Immokalee became a center for ranching, farming, and lumbering (Tebeau 1966). In 1923, Collier County had one of the largest stands of virgin cypress and pine timber in the country (Tebeau 1966). Roads leading into the Everglades were completed in the 1920s, enabling logging companies to exploit the region's cypress (Klinkenberg 1994). From the 1920s to the late 1950s, steam powered mills cut cypress board, which was valued for its durability and imperviousness to water. "Swamp Loggers" would fell the trees and oxen and mules would pull the downed trees to temporary tram railways where they were loaded for transport to the nearby mills. P16006 Page 715 of 1180 3-14 Logging activities in the Big Cypress Swamp and Fakahatchee Strand were prevalent in the 1940s in response to wartime needs (US Fish and Wildlife n.d.). The cypress was used in the construction of P.T. Boats, and, later, was shipped to Europe to supply the post-war rebuilding efforts (Klinkenberg 1994). Two of the companies with logging operations in the area were the Lee Tidewater Cypress Company and the C. J. Jones Logging Company. The logging industry required the construction of rail lines traversed by steam locomotives, which resulted in the establishment of a number of saw mills and lumber towns within the region. The largest of these towns was Jerome, located off of present-day State Road 29, north of US 41 (Tamiami Trail) (Klinkenberg 1994). Two mills, one at Naples and the other at Bonita Springs, reached into the timber lands from the west coast (Tebeau 1966:252). However, as a result of heavy lumbering activities from the 1940s to 1957, much of the trees were cleared (FDEP n.d.; Tebeau 1966; US Fish and Wildlife n.d.). When the cypress supply was exhausted, logging establishments became ghost towns, and the rail lines were abandoned, leaving only remnant segments of trails and ditches. Barron Collier, who promoted the region's development and the completion of the Tamiami Trail with his personal fortune, brought modern communications, roads, and railroads (Collier County Museum 2010). His promotions eventually opened up the area's enormous agricultural and resort potential, but modest signs of growth were halted by the Great Depression. The number of residents in 1925 of 1,256 grew to only 2,883 by 1930 (Tebeau 1966:212). By the mid-1930s, federal programs, implemented by the Roosevelt administration, started employing large numbers of construction workers, helping to revive the economy of the state. The programs were instrumental in the construction of parks, bridges, and public buildings. However, Collier County's economy and population remained at a virtual standstill until the end of WWII when a new wave of national prosperity sent thousands of people to Florida (Dean 1991). In the late 1940s, the agricultural thrust in Collier County began with approximately 640 cultivated acres along SR 29 near Ochopee-Copeland. By the 1970s, citrus, watermelons, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers were the largest producing crops in the county. Other crops included squash, cantaloupes, melons, potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, eggplant, corn, beans, and okra (Naples Daily News 1973). Like many Florida communities, World War 11 changed the face of Naples and later added to its growth. Largely, the post -World War II development of Collier County is similar to that of the rest of America: increasing numbers of automobiles and asphalt, an interstate highway system, suburban sprawl, and strip development along major state highways. The county, like most of Florida, experienced a population boom in the 1950s. Florida's population increased from 1,897,414 in 1940 to 1950 in 2,771,305. Collier County's population grew from 5,082 in 1940 to 6,488 in 1950 (Forstall 1995). After the war, car ownership increased, making the American public more mobile, making vacations more inexpensive and easier. Many who had served at Florida's military bases during World War II also returned with their families to live. As veterans returned, the trend in new housing focused on the development of small tract homes in new subdivisions. In 1949, Naples officially became a city with strict zoning laws promoting a "Naples Image" which denoted homes and lifestyles at the higher end of the scale. The county seat was moved to Naples in 1959 (Dean 1991). Based on maps from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 1954 Soil Survey for Collier County, Florida, a series of trails and tram lines once spread into the swampy interior region of the County from the west coast. The railroad grades in the region appear to have led to a north -south trending line near the coast, running several miles inland. These appear to have been part of the County's cypress and pine timbering industry (USDA 1954). P16006 Page 716 of 1180 3-15 The agricultural growth of the county led to an influx of migrant workers into the area. In 1966, Collier County began its first effort to house these workers. The Farm Workers Village, located along SR 29, in Section 11 of Township 47 South, Range 29 East, was a 491-unit apartment complex operated by the county Housing Authority, it provided affordable housing to the workers as well as daycare, postal services, a convenience store, laundromat, and educational facilities (Naples Daily News 1991). The number of permanent Collier County residents grew rapidly from 6,488 in 1950 to 85,000 by 1980. In the 1950s and 1960s, US 41 was widened by adding limerock from nearby quarries. In 1967, SR 84 (Alligator Alley) or the Everglades Parkway, which lies south of the project area, was built. In 1970, FDOT appointed an advisory panel to evaluate possible routes across south Florida for the proposed I-75. The plans were prepared by 1972 and the Interstate was built thereafter, utilizing existing lanes from Alligator Alley for eastbound traffic. Two westbound lanes were built on the vacant strip of land between Alligator Alley and the canal (Duever et al. 1985). 3.8 Proiect Specific Information. The 1953 aerial photos of the project area available from the Publication of Archival, Library, and Museum materials (PALMM) indicate that native vegetation had been removed by 1953 and replaced with agricultural fields. By 1968, the historic aerials show that all of the project area had been converted into agricultural fields (Figure 3.2). P16006 Page 717 of 1180 3-16 1-1-53 _.. .,.

Page 718 of 1180 4-1 4.0 RESEARCH CONSIDERATIONS 4.1 Background Research and Literature Review A review of archaeological and historical literature, records and other documents and data pertaining to the project area was conducted. The focus of this research was to ascertain the types of cultural resources known in the project area and vicinity, their temporal/cultural affiliations, site location information, and other relevant data. This included a review of sites listed in the NRHP, the FMSF, cultural resource survey reports, books, articles, and maps. In addition to the NRHP and FMSF, other information relevant to the historical research was obtained from the files of ACI. No individuals with knowledge of historic or aboriginal activities specific to the project area were encountered during this project; thus, no informant interviews were conducted. It should be noted that the digital FMSF data used in this report were obtained in February 2016. However, input may be several months behind receipt of reports and site files. Thus, the findings of the background research phase of investigation may not be current with actual work performed in the general project area. In keeping with standard archaeological conventions, metric measurements are used in this section and the following report section. 4.2 Archaeological and Historical Considerations Archaeological Considerations: For archaeological survey projects of this kind, specific research designs are formulated prior to initiating fieldwork to delineate project goals and strategies. Of primary importance is an attempt to understand, based on prior investigations, the spatial distribution of known resources. Such knowledge serves not only to generate an informed set of expectations concerning the kinds of sites which might be anticipated to occur within the project corridor, but also provides a valuable regional perspective and, thus, a basis for evaluating any newly discovered sites. Background research indicated that according to the FMSF, no prehistoric or historic archaeological sites have been recorded within three miles of the project area. A review of the Collier County archaeological predictive maps (ACI 1992, 1999), countywide syntheses by the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy (Carr 1988; Dickel 1991), as well as the Cultural Resources Overview and Survey Strategy: Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (New South 2008) "...which found that the most effective method used by archaeologists for isolating probability areas in southern Florida has involved the interpretation of historic black and white aerial photographs. These provide cross-references for a changing landscape through time" (New South 2008:53). In general, sites are most often found on discrete areas of higher ground relative to the surrounding terrain - such as hammock or hammock areas which once supported oak/palm hammocks, and typically situated near fresh water such as a marsh, seasonal depression, pond or a slough. Previous CRAS conducted in the general area were prepared for improvements to SR 29, and improvements to SR 82 (ACI 2009; 2004 and 2005 and Janus Research 2007), All these produced negative results for prehistoric or historic archaeological sites. P16006 Page 719 of 1180 4-2 Based upon these data and soil type information from the soil surveys archaeological/ historical site location predictive models (ACI 1992, 1999; USDA 1954, 1998), it was anticipated that the survey parcel has a low to moderate potential for prehistoric archaeological sites. The potential for historic period archaeological sites was considered very low. Historical Considerations: A review of the FMSF data obtained in February 2016 indicated an absence of historic structures (50 years of age or older) within or near the project area. However, 8CR00979, SR 82, has been recorded (Janus 2007), and determined ineligible for listing in the NRHP. The 1954 soil survey depicts no structures along either road (USDA 1954), although several structures may have been located on the property after 1973 (Figure 4.1). 4.3 Field Methodology Archaeological field methodology consisted of surface reconnaissance and shovel testing conducted at a 10 meters (m) (33 feet [ft]), 25 in (82 ft), 50 in (165 ft), 100 in (324 ft) intervals as well as judgmentally. Shovel tests were circular, and measured approximately 50 centimeters (cm) (20 inches [in]) in diameter by 1 in (3.3 ft) in depth, unless impeded by water or limestone. All soil removed from the shovel tests was screened through a 0.64 cm (0.25 in) mesh hardware cloth to maximize the recovery of artifacts. Following the recording of relevant data such as stratigraphic profile and artifact finds, all test pits were refilled. Historic structures field methodology consisted of a reconnaissance survey of the area to determine the location of any historic properties 50 years of age or older, and to ascertain if such resources within the project area could be eligible for listing in the NRHP. If structures were found, an in-depth study of the identified historic resources would be done, photographs taken, and information needed for completion of the FMSF forms gathered, including a physical description and interviews with residents and other individuals knowledgeable about the history of the area. 4.4 Unexpected Discoveries It was anticipated that if human burial sites such as Indian mounds, lost historic and prehistoric cemeteries, or other unmarked burials or associated artifacts were found, then the provisions and guidelines set forth in Chapter 872.05, FS (Florida's Unmarked Burial Law) would be followed. 4.5 Laboratory Methods/Curation All recovered cultural materials were initially cleaned and sorted by artifact class. Lithics debitage was subjected to a limited technological analysis focused on ascertaining the stages of stone tool production. Flakes and non -flake production debris (i.e. cores, blanks, tested cobbles) were measured, and examined for raw material types and absence or presence of thermal alteration. Flakes were classified into four types (primary decortication, secondary decortication, non-decortication, and shatter) based on the amount of cortex on the dorsal surface and the shape (White 1963). The project -related records such as aerials, field notes, and photographs and the artifacts will be maintained at ACI in Sarasota, unless the client requests otherwise.

Cal Page 721 of 1180 5-1 5.0 SURVEY RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS 5.1 Archaeological Results Archaeological field survey included both ground surface reconnaissance and the excavation of 159 shovel tests within the Immokalee Sand Mind project area property (Figures 5.1-5.3). These were placed at a 25 m (82 ft), 50 m (165 ft), 100 m (324 ft) intervals as well as judgmentally. Shovel tests were also placed at 10 m (33 ft) intervals around positive shovel tests to bound them. As a result, no archaeological sites were found but two archaeological occurrences were found. According to the FMSF, an AO is defined as "the presence of one or two nondiagnostic artifacts, not known to be distant from their original context which fit within a hypothetical cylinder of 30 meters diameter, regardless of depth below surface." Thus, occurrences are not recorded as sites. But they are evidence of prehistoric activity in the general project area but not considered eligible for listing in the NRHP. The two AO's are described below. A0#1: This AO was recorded in the northwest quarter of Section 7, Township 46 South, Range 29 East (Figure 5.1). Elevation is approximately 35 ft above mean sea level (amsl). It is described as a medium (1-2 cm in length), non thermally altered chert waste flake found between 0- 40 cm below surface in grey brown sand in the southwest corner of the project area in a moderate probability area. No additional material was found within the shovel tests placed at close intervals. AO#2: This AO was recorded in the northeast quarter of Section 6, Township 46 South, Range 29 East (Figure 5.1). Elevation is approximately 40 ft amsl. It is described as a medium (1-2 cm in length), non thermally altered chert waste flake found between 0-40 cm below surface in white sand in the northeast corner of the project area in a moderate probability area. No additional material was found within the shovel tests placed at close intervals. 5.2 Historical The historical resource survey of the project area revealed an absence of historic structures (50 years of age or older). Thus, no structures listed or considered eligible for listing in the NRHP are located within the property. 5.3 Recommendations Based on the results of the background research, field survey and analysis, development of the Immokalee Sand Mine property will not impact any significant cultural resources. No further work is recommended.

The review was conducted in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and its implementing regulations in 36 CFR Part 800: Protection of Historic Properties. In response to a previous application to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for this development, our office requested to FDEP that a professional cultural resource assessment survey be conducted (c.f. DHR No, 2010-02496, June 3, 2010). However, as of the date of this letter, no Bard copy of a survey report associated with this project has been received by the Division of Historical Resources Compliance and Review Section. Therefore, our request for a professional survey prior to any ground disturbing activities still stands. The resultant survey report should conform to the provisions of Chapter 1 A-46, Florida Administrative Code, and should be sent to our office upon completion. The report will help us complete the Section 106 review process and provide concurrence on federal determinations of effect, and recommend any necessary avoidance or mitigation measures. The Division of Historical Resources cannot endorse specific archaeological or historic preservation consultants. However, the American Cultural Resources Association maintains a listing of professional consultants at www.aera-crm.or , and the Register of Professional Archaeologists maintains a membership directory at www,r anet.or . The Division encourages checking references and recent work history.

The State Historic Preservation Officer is to advise and assist state and federal agencies when identifying historic properties, assessing effects upon them, and considering alternatives to avoid or minimize adverse effects, The project area has not been subjected to a systematic professional archaeological or historical investigation and contains environmental conditions consistent with those found at other archaeological sites in Collier County. For these reasons, it is the recommendation of this agency that a professional perform a cultural resource reconnaissance survey of the property, including judgmental subsurface testing, in order to assess the probability of the presence of historic properties. The purpose of this survey will be to locate and assess any cultural resources that may be present. The resultant survey report must conform to the specification set forth in Chapter 1 A- 46, Florida Administrative Cade, and be forwarded to this agency in order to complete the reviewing process for this proposed project and its impacts. The results of the analysis will determine if significant cultural resources would be disturbed by this development. In addition, if significant remains are located, the data described in the report and the consultant's conclusions will assist this office in determining measures that must be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse impacts to archaeological sites and historical properties listed, or eligible for listing in the NRHp, or otherwise significant. 500 S.

Transportation Conditions: Revised 1017110 EXHIBIT C Pagel of3 Page 795 of 1180 CONDITIONS OFAPPROVAL Immokalee Sand Mine CU-2008 AR-1 4078 a. LDC Section 6.06.02 addresses the construction of sidewalks adjacent to property frontage on county or state roads. Also, applicant (or owner) may be required to reserve, dedicate, or convey portions of the property adjoining the SR-82 right-of- way to FDOT in connection with the widening of SR-82. The following stipulations shall apply to address these related issues: (1) The owner(s), his successors in title, or assign agree to reserve thirty-five feet (35') of right-of-way along the Northerly side of SR-82 for approximately 1,190 feet along the property's frontage. The boundaries of this reservation shall coincide with the preferred alignment shown in Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) current Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) Study. The owner(s), its successors or assigns, agree to cooperate with FDOT during the design process for SR-82, endeavoring to eliminate the need for the additional 35 feet by allowing conveyance of off -site stormwater run-off, which may be accomplished via dedication of an easement within this project, at no cost to the County or State, if needed. If the need for additional right-of-way cannot be reasonably eliminated (as determined by FDOT), then the owner(s), its successors or assigns, agree to dedicate up to 35 feet of right-of-way along the North side of SR-82 to the State of Florida at no cost. The applicant shall provide compensating right-of-way at no cost of up to twelve feet (12') width and up to 460 feet in length (including taper), for a westbound right -turn lane at the Project Entrance; and (2) The applicant's responsibility for construction of sidewalks (or providing payment in lieu) LDC Section 6.06.02 is limited to those portions of the property that are directly adjacent the SR 82 right-of-way when the project SDP/SIP is approved or when a certificate of occupancy for the first project building permit is issued, whichever occurs first. In the event portions of the property that are presently adjacent to SR 82 are hereafter reserved, dedicated, or conveyed to Collier County or the State of Florida in connection with the widening of SR-82 (including dedications, conveyances, or reservations for water management) — as described in Paragraph La., above, such reserved, dedicated, or conveyed portions of the property shall not be subject to the sidewalk construction obligation under LDC Section 6.06.02, and shall not be considered part of the SR 82 road right-of-way for purposes of calculating applicant's sidewalk obligations for the remaining portions of the property (i.e., the dedicated, conveyed, and reserved portions of the property shall not be deemed as "adjacent" right-of-way with respect to the balance of the property for purposes of calculating applicant's sidewalk obligations). Given that the actual right-of-way reservation and/or dedication needs for the widening of SR-82 are not known at this point, calculation of the payment in lieu option for sidewalks shall be deferred until SIP approval or prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the first building Revised 10/7/10 Exhibit C Page 2 of 3 Page 796 of 1180 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Immokalee Sand Mine CU-2008 AR-14078 permit, whichever comes first. The applicant shall also have the option of constructing a sidewalk or sidewalks at another location in Collier County as may be agreed to by Collier County Transportation staff, provided the cost of construction of said sidewalk or sidewalks is at least equal to the amount of the payment in lieu option for the Immokalee Sand Mine Conditional Use (as adjusted to account for any dedications, conveyances, or reservations of the property in connection with the SR-82 expansion); and b. During the life of the mine, the applicant shall reimburse the County annually the expense actually incurred by the County for maintaining roadway pavement for those segments of State Roads 82 and 29 within a two-mile radius of the project entrance. The purpose of this stipulation is to ensure that the County does not incur out-of-pocket pavement maintenance expenses associated with the use of said segments of State Roads 82 and 29 by applicant's haul trucks. Alternatively and in lieu of the foregoing, should the County adopt a maintenance fee that is uniformly applied to previously approved and pending mining projects to compensate for impacts to roadway pavement caused by mine truck traffic, applicant agrees that this project will be subject to such fee. In the event of a dispute regarding the amount of maintenance reimbursement expense claimed by or paid to the County, the parties shall first use the County's then -current Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedure before filing any action in any court. c. Applicant shall be fully responsible for designing, permitting, and constructing a westbound acceleration lane at the project entrance on SR 82 for vehicles leaving the project. The west -bound acceleration lane will be up to twelve feet (12') in width and up to one thousand, six hundred and seventy feet (1,670') in length (including taper) and otherwise comply with FDOT standards; and 9. A tire wash system will be installed to wash dust from the wheels and underbody of all haul trucks exiting the facility. This system will direct water under pressure at the wheels and the underside of each vehicle as it passes through; and 10. Haul trucks will not be permitted to park or stage along the SR 82 right-of-way. Applicant may allow haul trucks to stage or park on the project's internal roadway prior to 6:30 a.m. Revised 10/7/10 Exhibit C Page 3 of 3 Page 797 of 1180 YEAR 15 YEAR 10 YEAR 30+ R.W.A., INC.

This summary is based upon current operation and to address potential limited use of commercial explosives to blast in limited areas of the mine. Specifically, this review was made to address operations using commercial explosives when necessary for the excavation and removal of materials with minimal disturbance to the adjacent community while maintaining the vibration and air overpressure (airblast) limits of the State of Florida within the existing Construction Materials Mining Activity Permit issued by the State of Florida. The Immokalee Sand Mine currently conducts sand mining within the site to recover materials for commercial sale. Resource evaluation had been completed by geologic drilling and the original permitting revealed sand mining operations encounter a layer of thicker sand / clay with larger not cemented rock which is not broken sufficiently for dredge operations. The potential for breaking this material is common for some sand mining operations. Other CEMEX quarrying, mining and construction operations use the blasting process and is done with safety in mind for the operations personnel and also the surrounding community. Concerns are typically expressed for adjacent communities when commercial explosives are proposed and / or necessary for the excavation of materials. In this operation the ability to use blasting is granted within the Construction Material Mining Activity permit that already exists for the current operation, which will be modified to add the new ±90 acres. Chapter 552.30 F. S. and Chapter 69A-2.024 (F.A.C.) control the use of explosives for commercial mining operations within the State of Florida. This evaluation examined the potential charge weights of explosives necessary to allow dredge operations to continue and through regression analysis, vibration levels are calculated for the closest areas to be excavated. In review, all of the levels projected meet with the standards of the State of Florida for Construction Material Mining Activity which include U. S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) recommendations which are the limits recommended to preclude defects from occurring in fragile building materials of adjacent structures. The same evaluation was performed for air overpressure (airblast) which is caused as explosives are detonated and create gases which vent after fracturing rock in the blast pattern. These levels Page 2 of 15 If® GeoSonics Page 813 of 1180 CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FLORIDA, LLC Blasting Evaluation Collier County, Florida are also referenced to State and USBM recommended limits and projected levels, even at the closest structure would meet the criteria. This evaluation recommends community neighborhood relations that may be incorporated by the operation to assist in documenting and safeguarding adjacent communities. These include blast notifications while also recording and reporting vibration and airblast levels. Overall, the Immokalee Sand Mine is able to continue to be operated with minimal perception within adjacent communities. During active blasting operations in no case are levels generated that would be capable of creating any type of defect in adjacent structures. PURPOSE This evaluation was prepared to consider the potential use of commercial explosives at the current operating Immokalee Sand Mine, Collier County, Florida. The site has operated since May 2008 when an initial Conditional Use permit was provided. The site is designed with an excavation lake to service the local area. The project is adjacent to SR 82 on the south side and bounded by large lot properties to the north, east and west with one residential / commercial property located to the northeast. The excavation areas are identified within the drawings located within the Appendix to this report. This evaluation is to assess the levels that may be produced with the need to use blasting when the 15-30' layer cannot be excavated with the dredge alone. The layer is intermittent and not defined as an existing layer but is part of material that the dredge equipment cannot cleanly excavate. As exists within other sand mining operations that exist when the layers are not able to be cut by the "cutter -head" on a dredge, limited use of commercial explosives may be employed. Through this use the layers are broken in small sections to allow dredge operations to proceed. These limited areas and pattern are used infrequently and are not a daily event. Evaluations of the need for the use of explosives, general procedures and the detonation of explosives and resulting side effects are provided for within this report. SAND MINING OPERATIONS Mining of sand materials cannot occur in every location but is specifically located where aggregate / sand is available in generally close proximity to the surface. The Immokalee Sand Mine shows through geologic exploration that material in this area has an area that may be mined and is relatively close to the surface of the land with an amount to support longer term operation. This is consistent with permitting that currently exists and has been updated through the operation's history. Page 3 of 15 If® GeoSonics Page 814 of 1180 CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FLORIDA, LLC Blasting Evaluation Collier County, Florida COMMERCIAL EXPLOSIVES LOADING AND DETONATION Common misconception by the public results from the use of commercial explosives and the side effects which may be produced. Blasting has been used throughout the United States for mining and quarrying in many different methods. In Florida typically, an area will be leveled and a specific blast hole drill is employed to drill to a measured depth. The holes are drilled on designed patterns (25 X 25') and to specific depths. Specific blast patterns are developed and / or modified on -site in conjunction with the mining engineering group and the blaster of record for the explosive's contractor. Each blast hole drilled contains a cardboard tube of a ±4.5" diameter and is part of a larger pattern with multiple holes designed to fragment and break the materials in a specific area. Once the blast pattern is developed the holes are drilled to depth until all are completed. The use of explosives is tightly regulated by ATFE - Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Department of Transportation and state regulations which govern the manufacture, distribution, transportation and use of these materials. For blasting a licensed explosives contractor brings materials to the site, ensures correct drilling has been completed and then provides loading of each hole and detonation of the blast. Each blast hole is loaded with three - component explosives which include a blasting delay, a cast booster and finally what is considered a bulk explosive material. The blasting delay is also referred to as a blasting cap which has a time element within it capable of delaying individual hole detonation by thousandths of a second. The delay is placed within a cast booster which when detonated by the delay creates an instantaneous pressure capable of causing the "bulk explosive" material to detonate. All three components are necessary when detonating the blast as this also improves safety when transporting and loading. When a blast is detonated the individual blast delays previously discussed separate the entire blast into individual holes detonating milliseconds apart. The explosives products burn so rapidly they are called a detonation and produce heat, water and high-pressure gas. The gasses expand from the borehole into small cracks and crevices that exist in the rock creating larger and wider cracks moving outward from the source in multiple directions. The cracking continues for about 2/3 the distance to the next hole. This is shown in the diagram following. Page 4 of 15 If® GeoSonics Page 815 of 1180 CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FLORIDA, LLC Blasting Evaluation Collier County, Florida Free Face Explosive detonates. Gas pressure Gas creates movement of Detonation Pressure crushes face. Pressure is released, surrounding rock, creates expands cracks cracking stops fractures In a properly spaced blast, the cracks overlap fragmenting the rock. As the blast moves towards the free face (open area excavated) the rock is displaced, allowing other portions of the blast to move outwards as well. This detonation process continues over a period of time, typically one second or less. When the energy no longer can create deformation, elastic waves are generated which is commonly felt as vibration on the surface of the ground. BLAST SIDE EFFECTS When the gasses within a blasthole can no longer expand and fragment the adjacent rock the resulting waves move outward from the source as limited ground vibration waves. The force that is generated comes from the detonation pressure expanding outward from the blast hole and from the gas pressure moving the rock from its original position. During the blast this energy against the rock mass occurs when each individual hole in the blast pattern detonates. The waves that move outward cause vibration on particles of the ground which oscillate; however, each particle does not move far from the original position and returns to its original position when the energy has passed. While we use dropping a rock in a quiet pond to describe how the waves move outward from the source, they are so small that they cannot be detected visually. Usually this motion, in three directions, is less than the thickness of a single sheet of paper before it moves back to its original position. This rock mass vibrating in the mine and transmitting into the surrounding ground is called propagation. Since vibration waves are not visible to the naked eye sensitive scientific equipment is used for measurement. Seismographs can measure how the ground moves from its original position much like a fisherman's bobber detects how the water surface moves from rest when a ripple moves by. These seismographs are specially designed to detect man-made vibration events that occur from blasting, construction work or other activities. As the vibration moves outward from the source energy is dissipated. This ground vibration amplitude (intensity) decreases until it eventually falls below perceptible levels. The rate at which ground vibration amplitude decreases as it propagates from the source is called seismic attenuation. The rate of attenuation depends upon the specific location of the blast and varies based upon site conditions. Extensive studies Page 5 of 15 If® GeoSonics Page 816 of 1180 CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FLORIDA, LLC Blasting Evaluation Collier County, Florida on blast vibration show that the attenuation is found to occur geometrically. This type of reduction means that the amplitude decreases rapidly at the source and much slower farther from the source. As a result, the majority of the higher energy dissipates within the mine property and the remaining small amount may produce some perceptible vibration outside the quarry property boundary. Vibration research shows that blasting produces some perceptible ground vibration within adjacent areas. Attempts to control the amount of vibration are completed with technically based laws, regulations and use industry standards. Maximum permissible levels are established based upon academic and government studies of the effects of vibration on adjacent structures, property and people. Since people are able to detect small levels of vibration but not determine the specific quantity, seismographs are employed to take scientific measurements of the actual vibration produced. Seismographs measure vibration in multiple quantities. Displacement or actual movement from rest is measured as well as how fast the velocity of the vibration wave changes or acceleration. How fast the wave moves is called Velocity and is the key standard by which blast vibration is assessed. Frequency is a key aspect of vibration measurement and evaluation of the wave energy produced during blasting. This is a measure of how many times the ground will vibrate through its original position in one second. The seismographs measure frequency and is reported in cycles per second or Hertz (Hz.) Standards limit the maximum amount of vibration that can occur at any point, or portion of the ground surface. The previously mentioned methods then related to Peak Particle Velocity, Peak Particle Displacement and Peak Particle Acceleration. These standards are then related to specific limitations established to ensure that adjacent structures are protected from creation of defects. In order to protect structures vibration measurements are compared to state or local regulations. The State of Florida in Chapter 552.30 (F.S.) has established vibration limits for Construction Materials Mining Activity. The State of Florida maintains sole and exclusive control over the regulation of these operations and blasting activity. The State has incorporated the USBM standards within the regulations. The United States Bureau of Mines, Report of Investigations (RI) No. 8507 is the most definitive evaluation of vibration effects on residential structures made in dealing with blasting vibration and has applications with other construction as well. The Bureau studied multiple structures of 1 — 2 stories and in distressed conditions in order to document the relationship of vibration to damage potential. The Bureau also incorporated prior studies covering approximately 70 years of research. The report produced a specialized vibration set of limits depending upon vibration velocity and the associated frequency. The limits are identified within the following graphic representation. Page 6 of 15 If® GeoSonics Page 817 of 1180 CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FLORIDA, LLC Blasting Evaluation Collier County, Florida USBM RI 8507 - Appendix B —Alternative Blast Level Criteria —Adopted by the State of Florida The Bureau's study identified new levels of defects, threshold damage, which is peeling of paint, extension of existing defects and / or new defects at the junctions of fragile building materials. These materials identified as most fragile are plaster on lath and drywall construction. Each material has a different particle velocity level necessary before there is a potential for causing a defect. These standards are used and have been tested for mining, quarrying and construction use. Each blast measurement is compared against the limitation in the graph above to determine compliance with State of Florida law. While using the standards of the Bureau of Mines some prediction of expected vibration is accepted. While final evaluation of levels will be completed when actual site blast hole drilling is completed, a general predication may be made. As the amplitude (particle velocity) is determined by how much energy is present to create vibration and how far the vibration have propagated, researchers have developed a single number to relate these parameters. Scaled Distance relates ground vibration amplitude to explosive charge weight and distance a point is from the blast. This relationship requires charge weight to reduce as the distance to a point decreases, in order to remain within standards for safe operation. The use of Scaled Distance allows the comparison of ground vibration potential for many blast designs and distances. In all operations using explosives, each operator desires to minimize ground vibration and still operate efficiently. In response explosives manufacturers have developed millisecond (ms) delayed blasting caps. The Bureau and many other research groups have demonstrated that Page 7 of 15 If® GeoSonics Page 818 of 1180 CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FLORIDA, LLC Blasting Evaluation Collier County, Florida individual blastholes or even charges within holes when separated by a few thousandths of a second apart may produce less ground vibration while more effectively fracturing and moving rock than a simultaneous detonation. All mining blasts today use multiple charges and are detonated with millisecond separation. A separate side effect for any operation is related to the movement of material during the blast and as the gases generated vent with blast pattern movement. Air Overpressure or Airblast is an elastic wave that moves through the air as the gas venting causes air molecules to vibration similar to ground vibration. This air wave is actually a pressure wave similar to a weather front where atmospheric pressure changes; however, in this consideration the effect is limited and very short term. The closest approximation to this would be thunder at a distance. There have been considerable evaluations of the effects upon various buildings. Research again by the U. S. Bureau of Mines is summarized in a separate Report of Investigations and provides guidelines for the evaluation. Measurements taken over decades shows that airblast is relatively low in frequency and at most covers a general range of 2 to 200 hertz. A large majority of the energy is within the 2 — 20 Hz. range. As human hearing is normally considered over a range of 20— 20,000 Hz. a significant portion of the airblast is not audible to humans. Further with human hearing the perception at each end of the range is reduced, i.e., a 60-decibel noise at 20 Hz. will sound less than one at 2,000 — 5,000 Hz. which is roughly the centerline of human hearing. This is the same with a thunderstorm as an example where significant portions of the thunder pressure wave is inaudible to the human ear. As our structures and buildings do not "hear", the effects are measured by seismographs with special microphones that record airblast without reductions based upon frequency. This measurement is expressed as dBL or decibels recorded linearly or having a "flat" response. Blast design considers both the ground vibration and the air overpressure that may be produced and in the latter case "stemming" is used to assist in airblast reduction. No blast hole is loaded to the top of ground level as explosives would just detonate into the air and do limited fracturing of the surrounding material. The upper portion of a blast hole will be left empty of explosives and crushed rock is loaded into the remaining portion of the hole. This serves two purposes. First confining the explosives to allow the gas to move outward and fracture the materials and secondly this controls gas moving up the blasthole. Eventually as the material face moves as gas is released but with much less energy. As with a thunderstorm the inaudible portion of the pressure wave moves outward from the source and is affected by multiple factors. The stemming length in each blasthole can reduce the overall level of noise. The orientation of the blast itself creates a reduction where the free face or area the rock is displaced to will have a greater noise than behind the blast. Also, once the operation has excavated the top superficial material the blast is completed below the natural ground surface. This helps contain the pressure wave within the mine itself. Environmental factors such as wind, temperature and humidity create effects which reduce airblast. Page 8 of 15 If® GeoSonics Page 819 of 1180 CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FLORIDA, LLC Blasting Evaluation Collier County, Florida Airblast is an important factor in planning blasting patterns as the pressure wave may cause some rattling of windows and in some cases, items attached to walls. As this was part of the Bureau's studies' limitations are made based upon the microphone of the seismograph measuring the blast event. For most instrumentation in use the limit is 133 dBL which the Bureau used to equate to limited structure vibration similar to ground vibration standards. MEASURED GROUND VIBRATION LEVELS Any evaluation considers the possible impacts outside the operation's property. In order to consider the vibration and airblast that may be produced from the site, data from existing sand mine operations has been considered. State of Florida regulations summarized below address the location of instruments. (b) 1. Ground vibration shall be measured for every blast at the location of the nearest building that is not owned, leased, or contracted by the blasting or mining operation, or on property for which the owner has not provided a written waiver to the blasting operations, up to a maximum of one mile. 2. If there are no such buildings within one mile, measurement shall be made at one mile in the direction of the nearest such building. 3. If there is a building that is not owned, leased, or contracted by the blasting or mining operation, or on property for which the owner has not provided a written waiver to the blasting operations in a direction 90 to 270 degrees from the direction of the nearest building specified in subparagraph (b)1. above, and that building is no more than 500 feet farther than the nearest building, measurement shall also be made at the nearest of those buildings. 4. If a measurement location determined pursuant to subparagraphs (b)1.-3. above is not practicable, such as in a wet swamp, measurement shall be made at a point nearer to but in the same direction from the blast site.2 In order to determine levels within the State Statutes, an attenuation relationship has been completed. Using Scaled Distance, the ratio of explosives weight to distance, ground vibration may be predicted using regression analysis; a mathematical formula that takes into account general site conditions and the potential explosives to be used. Ground vibration when created at a source reduces in strength as the vibration wave moves outward from the source. Ground vibration typically decays to approximately 1/3rd the prior value with a doubling of distance. As an example, a level at 200 feet would be approximately 1/3rd the value at 100 feet. Since these waves attenuate in a fairly regular manner, site specific prediction is possible with reasonable accuracy. Peak particle velocity predication formulas exist to calculate vibration intensity levels at a location based upon various factors including, charge weight and distance from the blast to a specific location. With blasting at other monitored sand mine locations, a site -specific formula 1 United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, Report of Investigations No. 8485, Structure Response and Damage Produced by Airblast From Surface Mining, 1980. z 69A-2.024 Construction Materials Mining Activities, Florida Statutes Page 9 of 15 If® GeoSonics Page 820 of 1180 CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FLORIDA, LLC Blasting Evaluation Collier County, Florida has been developed for use. This standard format is used for predictions of peak particle velocity and follows the general format for regression analysis. For this specific site the formula generated is as follows: PPV = 255.69 (D/VW)-1.2784 This formula provides a relationship developed and identified as the 50% probability relationship where data is equally distributed above and below the regression line created by the evaluation of data. It must be noted that 50% Probability lines most closely aligns with the actual vibration records from blasting operations. GeoSonics Inc. Seismic Anniti-sis Vilbratfon RLgression Det■ plot for..

The amount Page 10 of 15 /141 GeoSonics Page 821 of 1180 CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FLORIDA, LLC Blasting Evaluation Collier County, Florida of explosives used would be designed to maintain a 0.50 inch per second vibration level which has been a CEMEX internal limitation. As part of any operation of this site seismograph recording will be implemented at off property structures for any blasting as is required by the State regulations. Typically, perception by people is common but instrumentation is required to assess vibration. It would be expected at levels projected; that house response, i.e., the building reacting to vibration, would be similar to the vibration produced during a close thunderstorm. PROJECTED AIR OVERPRESSURE LEVELS Air overpressure (airblast) as with ground vibration may be predicted based upon the methods that have been previously described in the ground vibration prediction section of this report. Using the same explosive loading configurations prediction of levels at adjacent structures may be completed. The charge weight per delay and distance are used. The adjustment in the following formula is the use of cube root Scaled Distance (V3) as airblast when released into the environment has three-dimensional properties. P= 180.22(d3SD)-0.0682 Where: P = Pressure (dBL) SD = cube root Scaled Distance As with vibration levels will be measured and the above formula amended with additional data to maintain the State limit which is the U. S. Bureau of Mines limitation of 133 dBL The current is provided with the following reference: (5) Airblast. (a) Airblast limits shall conform with the limits established in Section 8-2 of National Fire Protection Association Standard Number 495, 1996 Edition, which is hereby adopted and incorporated by reference.' The level cited within this report is 133 dBL for air overpressure. ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that for blasting operations preblast inspections be conducted on structures within 1,500 feet of any area where blasting is to occur. This is an internal and external examination of the adjacent structures made by qualified persons with experience in blasting damage review. The examination records existing cracks, separation, peeling of paint and other similar conditions to document their existence. The defects should be documented in written reports with graphics of the defect and locations and additionally documented with digital photographs of their location and size. This inspection is done at no cost to the adjacent residents and a copy of the report and photographs would be provided. 3 69A-2.024 Construction Materials Mining Activities, Florida Statutes Page 11 of 15 If® GeoSonics Page 822 of 1180 CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FLORIDA, LLC Blasting Evaluation Collier County, Florida Further, for actual blasts, notice would be provided to residents within the same distance as inspection plus additional parties that may request notice. The notice is typically done 24-hours prior to blasting with the day and expected time of the blast provided either through telephone call, email or text messaging. The time "window" expected is part of the message. This system is also provided to notify the list members if a change in time is expected. Finally, it is required by State regulations and all blasts will be recorded by at least one blasting seismograph operated by the seismologist of record for the operation. Results will then be used to evaluate future blasts as necessary. CONCLUSION In our opinion the use of commercial explosives to fracture existing layered areas at the Immokalee Sand Mine at the closest location will not affect the adjacent single structure outside the property. The evaluation of blasting operations proposed for the quarry and the explosives estimated for use may be perceptible to some adjacent properties; however, the levels of vibration and air overpressure are well within standards recommended by the U. S. Bureau of Mine and the limits of the State of Florida and within the existing conditional use permit. Based upon the expected explosives use, including the loading of commercial explosives, considering the frequency of blasting in times per month, and with all other parameters of the operation, there is no expectation of any detrimental effects on structures or wells of adjacent properties. And in addition, this evaluation summarizes additional safeguards to protect adjacent properties. Respectfully sub GeoSonics, Inch Jeffrey A.

AUDIENCE MEMBERS: Yeah, Jack, we've got cattle over there JESSICA HARRELSON: Alright. So I'm Jessica Harrelson. I'm a certified planner with Peninsula Engineering. The purpose of tonight's meeting is to review the details of the requests that have been made to the county. We have a conditional use amendment and a variance in for review for the Immokalee Sand Mine Project. This meeting is being recorded, it becomes part of the county records. I have a brief presentation that I'll run through, and then we'll take your questions at the end. So if you're not familiar with the site, the property is located west of State Road 29. Just north of State Road 82, and is just under 900 acres in size. Can you see the screen? Okay. The site is zoned agricultural. It's within the mobile home and rural land stewardship area overlays. There is an existing conditional use that allows excavation activities to occur on the property. We are seeking to amend that conditional use to allow a 91 acre expansion. We also have a variance in for approval. Seeking relief from certain landscape requirements that I'll go through in a couple slides. This is the existing approved plan. About 590 acres are currently approved for excavation activities. This greenish -blue area represents where that 91 acre expansion is to occur. And this is the updated conceptual Site plan. It shows Um in a total excavation area of about 680 acres. Excavation setbacks from all property lines are 50 feet. Except for residential. We do have a residential home in this northeast corner. That's a 100 foot setback for excavation. Access will remain from State Road 82. We have an existing wetland preserve in the southwest corner that will remain. The location of the processing plant equipment, office stockpiles. Those are all going to remain in the existing location. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Can you back up one slide? JESSICA HARRELSON: Yes, sure. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Thank you. Page 828 of 1180 JESSICA HARRELSON: Okay, you're welcome. The Maximum Building height is 35 feet. For the perimeter landscape buffers for the variance, the second petition that we have in for review. That variance is seeking to eliminate buffers along the north and along the east. Let me see my pointer here. There you go. So along the east and along the north, we're seeking to eliminate those required 10-foot buffers. There is existing vegetation that will remain along the Northern property boundary. And along the East, the developer has committed to installing the code required buffer in the event the adjacent land is developed with residential or rezone occurs. The existing. The buffers exist along the western boundary and along the right-of-way. The variance is also seeking to eliminate the required landscaping around the processing outdoor storage area. The county requires a 7-foot hedge berm or fence around the processing area, outdoor storage areas, and that obviously interferes with daily operations of the mine. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Can I ask a question? JESSICA HARRELSON: Oh, sure! Go ahead! AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible)... you are seeking no buffer on the north boundary? JESSICA HARRELSON: Correct. So there's existing vegetation that exists along the north, and instead of taking out the existing vegetation, instead of removing that existing vegetation and putting in trees every 10 feet, as required by the county code, we're going to retain that existing vegetation. AUDIENCE MEMBER: In that strip there? JESSICA HARRELSON: Yes, this whole strip. AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible... referring to locations on the PowerPoint slides) JESSICA HARRELSON: Correct. So this blue area represents the 91 expansion area. Page 829 of 1180 AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah. The north boundary, which is the Hendry County line. JESSICA HARRELSON: Right. AUDIENCE MEMBER:(Inaudible... referring to locations on the PowerPoint slides) JESSICA HARRELSON: No, so the commitment is to retain that existing vegetation along the northern boundary. JAMES MOTT (CEMEX): Okay, the buffer is just a landscaping requirement. There's gonna be a physical distance from the property line. Is that what you are asking? AUDIENCE MEMBER: Uh, no, no, I'm just asking it just if you have the buffer wall or height all around and just not on the north. JESSICA HARRELSON: Yeah. And there is also um, a perimeter berm around the excavation area. And then that vegetation that is existing today is going to remain. That's a commitment that's going to be in the approval. AUDIENCE MEMBER: I'm merely asking for the property owner to the north. Just asking you. JESSICA HARRELSON: Okay, sure, yeah. No. Problem. Okay, yeah. Um, with the expansion, there will be no changes in the existing traffic. It's not going to generate any additional trips to the site. The hours of operation are going to remain the same. At 6 30 Am. To 7 Pm. Monday through Saturday for trucking and hauling of materials. And then 24 Hours a day, 7 days, days a week for excavation and processing. Any blasting activities will be in accordance with the State rules. AUDIENCE MEMBER: What runs there? Do you know anything? Sound like a bearing going out. (Inaudible) JAMES MOTT (CEMEX): That would be the dredge starting up. AUDIENCE MEMBER: I got it. Page 830 of 1180 JESSICA HARRELSON: I have to get all this on the record. Sorry? So no, it's okay. So you just asked what. PENINSULA ENGINEERING- PLANNING DEPT.: When the when the traffic on 82 doesn't drown it out, you can hear it pretty good. AUDIENCE MEMBER: The lights. Come on. The lights come on and got it. Yeah. JAMES MOTT (CEMEX): Yeah, we've got lots. JESSICA HARRELSON: So the conditional use and variance are currently in review with county staff. Once the petitions are found sufficient, we will be scheduled for hearings. I do anticipate that, being them being scheduled early next year. So that's it for the presentation. Are there any questions about the expansion project? AUDIENCE MEMBER: Basically, the expansion is north of the retention lake on the north end of the phone. AUDIENCE MEMBER: The north and east corner, if you call it. AUDIENCE MEMBER: So there's a new owner in the North. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah. Yeah. Help me. And you're talking about. He's like, Yeah, it stops due north of this line. Correct, or does it go all the way? If he go visit. (At this time a couple of audience members talk amongst themselves and use the projector screen to talk about the expansion location) AUDIENCE MEMBERS: Just enough. Yeah, 91 acre. Yeah, here you go. It stops in the gray now. It wants to go into the blue. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Well, there's a okay. So. But the grade, like my fence line and tips, fence line, and the road y'all come in Page 831 of 1180 on is that is that. Does it pop in right there. JESSICA HARRELSON: Yeah, there is an access easement here. AUDIENCE MEMEBER: That's the road. JAMES MOTT (CEMEX): Yeah, we don't use that. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah. But I mean, that's-. That's my Western fence line. Okay? So it's still gonna be just north. That's the outside boundary. AUDIENCE MEMBER: No. He was asking a different question. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Oh okay. AUDIENCE MEMBER: But that's the existing lake, the mine just goes that far. JESSICA HARRELSON: Yeah, where the gray is. Yeah. AUDIENCE MEMBER: There's a big lake right in here. Correct? AUDIENCE MEMBER: That would be that blue area there. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Oh! AUDIENCE MEMBER: You're talking about right? Down in here. It's a lake run up here. AUDIENCE MEMBERS: Right there and then there's a piece of ground on the north end, that dry still piece. But all this, all this right here is like. CEMEX: This is where we're currently mining in this area. This area has been stripped to 15 feet, which is full of rainwater. I think that's what you're talking about. Page 832 of 1180 AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah, so basically you're just the the increase is the little strip, the north side, the north around here. That's there. (Inaudible- audience members talking amongst themselves) CEMEX: Well, this is the. This is the original. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Sorry I'm in the air. Oh, good! AUDIENCE MEMBER: But that's but we're only working right here. So this is, this is still permitted. CEMEX: It's all permitted. It's all permitted. So if you got the cows on north, yes, okay. And then Chips got the ones here. Yeah. So nothing's gonna change here for, we're probably 10 or 15 years now. From there, now. We are asking to take up like 30 acres to stockpile some of this clay that we've taken out later. Oh, I don't know if they spoke to you about. We're asking. AUDIENCE MEMBER: They don't speak to me, no. That's why I'm here. That's why me and Chips here. CEMEX.: I don't know if you know that's up to Barron Collier Yeah, of course, we would have to fence it off. JESSICA HARRELSON: I can give your contact information to the individuals at Barron Collier Companies to reach out to with your questions. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Oh, that'd be a waste. JESSICA HARRELSON: Well, that's who I work for, so I'll make sure they call. PENINSULA ENGINEERING- PLANNING DEPT.: I'm sorry. There's no communication between them and their leasees. Page 833 of 1180 JESSICA HARRELSON: Okay, are there any other questions about the expansion. Did you have any concerns about that North buffer. AUDIENCE MEMBER: No. JESSICA HARRELSON: Okay, that's all I have. If there's no more questions we can conclude the meeting. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Timeline? JESSICA HARRELSON: We're going to be scheduled for hearings likely early next year. AUDIENCE MEMBER: And for land use? CEMEX: Well, we've got. If we if we continue a straight north pattern, we're probably, we only go through about 3 quarters of an acre a month. So there's- there's quite a bit of acreage there. I don't know the exact date, but. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah, but I mean before you can, before the before the provisional use. If they're going to present rather than a year next year. JESSICA HARRELSON: Early next year. Yeah, it's in review now. CEMEX: Yeah, I mean, we wouldn't impact. What I'm saying is, we wouldn't impact that area for 10 years. AUDIENCE MEMBER: Okay, that strip the blue that you're saying, you know. Why wasn't it ever in the original? JESSICA HARRELSON: So it would have originally been included in the original conditional use, but it was being considered for a wildlife corridor by the State, and then the State chose. Ah, another location. So that's why we're coming in now. Otherwise it would have originally been included. (Inaudible) JESSICA HARRELSON: That it? Great. Well, I have some cards that you can take with Page 834 of 1180 you. If you have any other questions you can reach out to me at any time. Okay, Matt, Jeff, Tim, I'm gonna conclude the meeting. Thank you. Matt DeFrancesco: Yeah. Thank you. Bye. Now. Tim Hall: Bye.

For recently improved 4-lane divided SR 82, there is adequate and sufficient roadway capacity to accomrnodate the proposed development generated trips without adversely affecting adjacent roadway network level of service. Based upon the results of the turn lane analysis, the existing Left and right turn lane irnprove ments on SR 82 are adequate to support the project. The maxim urn total daily trip generation for the CU-CUR shall not exceed 26 two-way PM peak hour net trips based on the trip generation rates in effect at the time of application for SDP/SDPA approval.

Further, for actual blasts, notice would be provided to residents within the same distance as inspection plus additional parties that may request notice. The notice is typically done 24-hours prior to blasting with the day and expected time of the blast provided either through telephone call, email or text messaging. The time "window" expected is part of the message. This system is also provided to notify the list members if a change in time is expected. Finally, it is required by State regulations and all blasts will be recorded by at least one blasting seismograph operated by the seismologist of record for the operation. Results will then be used to evaluate future blasts as necessary. CONCLUSION In our opinion the use of commercial explosives to fracture existing layered areas at the Immokalee Sand Mine atthe closest location will not affect the adjacent single structure outside the property. The evaluation of blasting operations proposed for the quarry and the explosives estimated for use may be perceptible to some adjacent properties; however, the levels of vibration and air overpressure are well within standards recommended by the U. S. Bureau of Mine and the limits ofthe State of Florida and within the existing conditional use permit. Based upon the expected explosives use, including the loading of commercial explosives, considering the frequency of blasting in times per month, and with all other parameters of the operation, there is no expectation of any detrimental effects on structures or wells of adjacent properties. And in addition, this evaluation summarizes additional safeguards to protect adjacent properties. Respectfully subm' GeoSonics, In Jeffrey A.

A companion Conditional Use (CU-PL20240012171) request is being sought to expand the excavation area previously approved by Resolution 2010-224. The prior approval allowed for 589.3 acres to be excavated, and the Conditional Use request is to expand excavation to the northeast direction by an additional 91 acres in areas previously approved as preserve land and wildlife corridor, for a total excavation area of 680.3 acres. The petitioner is seeking Variance approval for relief from the requirement to provide a 20' Type "C" buffer adjacent to residential development, a 10' Type "A" buffer adjacent to agricultural uses, and a 20' Type "D" buffer adjacent to rights -of -way, to instead allow no buffers other than those identified on the Landscape Buffer Exhibit of the Conceptual Site Plan; and also for relief from the required 2,110 linear feet of perimeter fence and berm (7 feet in height) surrounding stockpile/processing plant equipment as provided for in LDC Section 4.02.12 to allow no perimeter fence and berm. The proposed Landscape Buffer Exhibit of the Conceptual Site Plan is included in the Draft Resolution and also included on the following page. The plan provides that: - The Owner will install an LDC required buffer within 180 days along any property boundary where an SRA, PUD, rezone, or other residential development has been approved or is approved in the future on an adjacent property, unless development on the VA-PL20240012172; IMMOKALEE SAND MINE EXPANSION December 23, 2025 Page 2 of 9 Page 864 of 1180 adjacent property includes the construction of a perimeter berm that is a minimum of 7' in height, as measured from Finished Floor Elevation of the adjacent site. - The Owner will install a 20' Type `C' buffer along the northeast corner of the property, where the site is adjacent to residential, as shown on the Conceptual Site Plan. - The Owner will retain the existing Type `A' buffer along the western property line, as shown on the Conceptual Site Plan. - The Owner will complete the installation of the required Type `D' buffer along SR 82, as shown on the Conceptual Site Plan.

RLSA Policy 1.5 provides for Baseline Standards, and RLSA Policy 1.4 provides that property for which the owner chooses not to participate in the Stewardship Program will remain eligible for those Baseline Standards uses, which allow for earthmining activities. See attached Future Land Use Element (FLUE) Consistency Review memo, which concludes that the proposed companion Conditional Use may be deemed consistent with the FLUE. This Variance request as conditioned does not have an impact on the FLUE consistency. Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME): Environmental review staff have found this request to be consistent with the Conservation & Coastal Management Element (CCME). STAFF ANALYSIS: The subject property is 896.7± acres currently operated by Cemex as a commercial sand mine. A companion Conditional Use (CU-PL20240012171) request is being sought to expand the excavation area previously approved by Resolution 2010-224. The prior approval allowed for 589.3 acres to be excavated, and the Conditional Use request is to expand excavation to the northeast direction by an additional 91 acres in areas previously approved as preserve land and wildlife corridor, for a total excavation area of 680.3 acres. The petitioner is seeking Variance approval for relief from the requirement to provide a 20' Type "C" buffer adjacent to residential development, a 10' Type "A" buffer adjacent to agricultural uses, and a 20' Type "D" buffer adjacent to rights -of -way, to instead allow no buffers other than those identified on the Landscape Buffer Exhibit of the Conceptual Site Plan; and also for relief from the required 2,110 linear feet of perimeter fence and berm (7 feet in height) surrounding stockpile/processing plant equipment as provided for in Land Development Code Section 4.02.12 to allow no perimeter fence and berm. The Variance petition seeks the following variance requests: Proposed Variance #1: (Buffer Requirements) Variance # 1 seeks relief from Section 4.06.02.0 (Table 2.4) of the Collier County Land Development Code - "Buffer Requirements", that requires commercial excavations to provide a 20' Type `C' buffer adjacent to residential development, a 10' Type `A' buffer adjacent to agricultural uses, and a 20' Type `D' buffer adjacent to rights -of -way, whereas the petitioner is requesting to allow no buffers other than those identified on the Landscape Buffer Exhibit of the Conceptual Site Plan included in the attached Draft Resolution (also enumerated as Condition #13 in the Draft Resolution for the companion Conditional Use petition CU-PL20240012171). Petitioner Developer Commitments (depicted on the Landscape Buffer Exhibit of the Conceptual Site Plan included in the attached Draft Resolution, and also included as Condition #13 in the Draft Resolution for the companion Conditional Use petition): a. The Owner will install an LDC required buffer within 180 days along any property boundary where an SRA, PUD, rezone, or other residential development has been VA-PL20240012172; IMMOKALEE SAND MINE EXPANSION Page 5 of 9 December 23, 2025 Page 867 of 1180 approved or is approved in the future on an adjacent property, unless development on the adjacent property includes the construction of a perimeter berm that is a minimum of 7' in height, as measured from Finished Floor Elevation of the adjacent site. b. The Owner will install a 20' Type `C' buffer along the northeast corner of the property, where the site is adjacent to residential. c. The Owner will retain the existing Type `A' buffer along the western property line. d. The Owner will complete the installation of the required Type `D' buffer along SR 82. Petitioner Justifications: • The property is mostly adjacent to agriculturally zoned properties. Earth mining activities have no negative impacts on lands used for agricultural purposes. The County's Land Development Code does not consider the large tracts of land needed for earth mining and agricultural activities, and the compatibility between these uses. • Abutting property along a portion of the eastern property line is under common ownership. Hendry County has issued a letter approving the request to eliminate any required landscape buffer along the property's northern boundary, which is zoned Agricultural. The property, within Hendry County abutting the subject site along the north, has an existing berm that is 6± feet in height. The petitioner has also agreed to retain existing vegetation along the northern property boundary. Staff recommendation: See Attachment C for the letter from Hendry County, which specifies the County has no objection to the request to eliminate any required landscape buffer along the property's northern boundary, provided that existing native vegetation is retained and a 50-foot excavation area setback is provided. The Landscape Buffer Exhibit of the Conceptual Site Plan included in the attached Draft Resolution enumerates that existing vegetation along the northern property line is to remain, and the Draft Resolution for the companion Conditional Use petition CU-PL20240012171 specifies the minimum excavation setback is 50 feet. Zoning and Landscape Review finds that granting the variance will be in harmony with the intent and purpose of the LDC, and staff recommends APPROVAL of this variance. Proposed Variance #2: (Screening for Outdoor Storage/Equipment/Mining/Operations) Variance # 2 seeks relief from Section 4.02.12 of the Land Development Code that requires outdoor storage areas, including but not limited to manufactured products, raw or finished materials, or vehicles other than vehicles intended for sale, be screened with a fence or equivalent landscaping or combination thereof, not less than 7 feet in height, whereas the petitioner is requesting to eliminate this requirement surrounding the Processing Plant Equipment area identified on the Conceptual Site Plan. Petitioner Justifications: • The Immokalee Sand Mine's stockpile/processing plant/equipment area is located 2,800± feet from State Road 82 and roughly a mile from the existing single-family home along the northeast corner. Adding a 7-foot-high berm, landscaping, wall, or combination thereof around this area would interfere with day-to-day activities and routine work, as it would isolate this area from the excavation activities. Unrestricted access to this area is needed to perform daily operations. The project team has been unable to identify that this LDC requirement has been applied to other mining projects. VA-PL20240012172; IMMOKALEE SAND MINE EXPANSION Page 6 of 9 December 23, 2025 Page 868 of 1180 Staff recommendation: Staff finds that a literal interpretation of the provisions of the LDC work unnecessary and undue hardship on the petitioner or create practical difficulties on the petitioner, and there are special conditions and circumstances existing which are peculiar to the location, size, and characteristics of the land involved. Zoning and Landscape Review staff recommend APPROVAL of this variance. The decision to grant a variance is based on the criteria in LDC Section 9.04.03.A—H (in bold font below). Staff has analyzed this petition relative to these provisions and offers the following responses: a. Are there special conditions and circumstances existing, which are peculiar to the location, size and characteristics of the land, structure or building involved? The subject site is 897+ acres and is already operating as a mine. The northern property line is the Collier -Hendry County line, beyond which is agricultural property. Hendry County staff have issued a letter of no objection to the request to eliminate any required landscape buffer along the property's northern boundary, provided that existing native vegetation is retained and a 50-foot excavation area setback is provided. The Conceptual Site Plan with the companion Conditional Use petition (CU-PL20240012171) demonstrates conformance with these provisions. Surrounding the property in Collier County is mostly undeveloped, agricultural lands with exception of a single family home on 32.5 acres at the northeast corner of the site. The petitioner's rationale for the variance from buffer requirements is that mining and agricultural uses are located in the same geography, require large tracts of land, and buffering between mines and agricultural properties is not necessary for compatible operations; the petitioner has committed to providing the required buffer along the property line shared with the neighboring residence. The petitioner's rationale for the relief from screening requirements is that the stockpile/processing plant/equipment area is ±2,800 feet from State Road 82 and roughly a mile from the existing single-family home along the northeast corner, rendering the screening unnecessary given the large size of the property. b. Are there special conditions and circumstances, which do not result from the action of the applicant such as pre-existing conditions relative to the property, which are the subject of the Variance request? There are no special conditions or circumstances, such as pre-existing conditions relative to the subject property that do not result from the action of the applicant. C. Will a literal interpretation of the provisions of this zoning code work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant or create practical difficulties for the applicant? Yes, the code required buffers would result in the installation of several miles of unnecessary landscape buffers where the mine operator must already provide berms and barriers for mine operation. The intent of the buffer provisions of the code are achieved by the petitioner's commitments to retain the existing vegetation along the northern property boundary, retain the existing Type `A' buffer along the western property line, install the VA-PL20240012172; IMMOKALEE SAND MINE EXPANSION Page 7 of 9 December 23, 2025 Page 869 of 1180 required buffer adjacent to the existing residence at the northeast corner of the property, install a buffer along the eastern property line should circumstances of residential development transpire, and complete the Type `D' buffer along SR 82. The code required screening is unnecessary and impractical given the great distance from impact to the public along State Road 82 or to the residence along the northeast corner of the site; the stockpile/processing plant/equipment area is 2,800± feet from State Road 82 and roughly a mile from the residence. d. Will the Variance, if granted, be the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure and which promote standards of health, safety and welfare? Granting this variance will be the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of land. To promote standards of public health, safety and welfare the petitioner has committed to retaining the existing vegetation along the northern property boundary, retaining the existing Type `A' buffer along the western property line, installing the required buffer adjacent to the existing residence at the northeast corner of the property, installing a buffer along the eastern property line should circumstances of residential development transpire, and completing the Type `D' buffer along SR 82. e. Will granting the Variance confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by these zoning regulations to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district? No, granting this variance request will not confer any special privilege to the applicant that is denied to other lands, buildings, or structures that may be subject to a variance request within the same zoning district. C Will granting the Variance be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this Land Development Code, and not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare? The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the intent and purpose of the zoning codes and will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood because the petitioner has committed to retaining the existing vegetation along the northern property boundary, retaining the existing Type `A' buffer along the western property line, installing the required buffer adjacent to the existing residence at the northeast corner of the property, installing a buffer along the eastern property line should circumstances of residential development transpire, and completing the Type `D' buffer along SR 82. g. Are there natural conditions or physically induced conditions that ameliorate the goals and objectives of the regulation such as natural preserves, lakes, golf courses, etc.? The existing vegetation along the northern property line to be retained helps ameliorate the buffer requirement to the north. Along the eastern property line, the petitioner has committed to providing a buffer should residential development transpire, unless a berm of VA-PL20240012172; IMMOKALEE SAND MINE EXPANSION Page 8 of 9 December 23, 2025 Page 870 of 1180 at least 7 feet in height is constructed at time of the residential development to ameliorate need for a buffer. Along the west and south property lines, the petitioner has committed to providing the required buffers. The sheer distance between the stockpile/processing plant/equipment area helps to ameliorate the goal of screening this area from surrounding view; the area is 2,800 ± feet from State Road 82 and roughly a mile from the existing residence. h. Will granting the Variance be consistent with the GMP? Approval of this variance will not affect or change the finding of consistency for this project relative to the Growth Management Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (EAC) REVIEW: This project does require an Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) review, as this project meets the EAC scope of land development project reviews as identified in Section 2-1193 of the Collier County Codes of Laws and Ordinances. Specifically, Section 2-1193(m)(4), a conditional use of a commercial mine requires EAC approval. The Environmental Planning staff recommends approval. COUNTY ATTORNEY REVIEW: The staff report was reviewed by the County Attorney's office on December 23, 2025. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) recommend approval to the BZA for Variance Petition VA-PL20240012172, subject to approval of the companion Conditional Use Petition CU-PL20240012171 and as provided in the attached Draft Resolution.

Ht UD8000281176 3 3 (MMIW sa) r Page 944 of 1180 PENINSULA�� ENGINEERING IMMOKALEE SAND MINE VARIANCE NARRATIVE & JUSTIFICATIONS This petition seeks a variance from landscape buffer requirements for the existing commercial excavation mine, the Immokalee Sand Mine. The project involves two (2) parcels, collectively consisting of 896.7 acres, located in Immokalee within portions of Sections 6 and 7, Township 46 South and Range 29 East (the "property") and more specifically, at 3625 SR 82. Refer to the Location Map prepared by Peninsula Engineering. Zoning & Future Land Use: The property is within the Rural Agricultural Zoning District, Mobile Home Overlay, and Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (A-MHO-RLSAO). Refer to the Zoning and Future Land Use Maps, prepared by Peninsula Engineering. The site is adjacent to SR 82 along the south and is surrounded by agricultural zoning/agricultural activities. SURROUNDING ZONING/LAND USE TABLE LOCATION FROM ZONING LAND USE PROPERTY North Hendry County - General Agriculture (A-2) Agriculture South ROW / A-MHO-RLSAO SR 82 / Agriculture Developed Residential (NE Corner)/ East A-MHO-RLSAO Agriculture and Undeveloped West A-MHO-RLSAO Agriculture Request The Land Development Code, Section 4.06.02.0 (Table 2.4) - "Buffer Requirements", requires commercial excavations to provide a 20' Type 'C' buffer adjacent to residential development, a 10' Type 'A' buffer adjacent to agricultural zoning/uses and a 20' Type 'D' buffer adjacent to rights -of -way, whereas the Applicant is requesting to allow no buffers otherthan those identified on the Conceptual Site Plan. Additionally, this variance petition requests to eliminate the required 2,110 LF of the perimeter fence and berm (7' in height) surrounding the stockpile/processing plant equipment, as required by LDC Section 4.02.12 "Design Standards for Outdoor Storage," identified on the approved landscape plans (SDPA-PL2020000548).

Earth mining activities have no negative impacts on lands used for agricultural purposes. The County's Land Development Code does not consider the large tracts of land needed for earth mining and agricultural activities, and the compatibility between these uses. • Abutting property along a portion of the eastern property line is under common ownership; refer to the Common Ownership Parcel. • Hendry County has issued a letter approving the request to eliminate any required landscape buffer along the property's northern boundary, which is zoned Agricultural. The property, within Hendry County abutting the subject site along the north, has an existing berm that is ±6' in height. The Applicant has also agreed to retain existing vegetation along the northern property boundary. • LDC Section 4.02.12 requires that outdoor storage areas, including but not limited to manufactured products, raw or finished materials, or vehicles other than vehicles intended for sale, be screened with a fence or equivalent landscaping or combination thereof, not less than 7 feet in height. The Immokalee Sand Mine's stockpile/processing plant/equipment area is located ±2,800 feet from State Road 82 and roughly a mile from the existing single-family home along the northeast corner. Adding a 7-foot-high berm, landscaping, wall, or combination thereof around this area would interfere with day-to-day activities and routine work, as it would isolate this area from the excavation activities. Unrestricted access to this area is needed to perform daily operations. The project team has been unable to identify that this LDC requirement has been applied to other mining projects. Developer Commitments • The Applicant will install an LDC required buffer within 180 days along any property boundary where an SRA, PUD, rezone, or other residential development has been approved or is approved in the future on an adjacent property, unless development on the adjacent property includes the construction of a perimeter berm that is a minimum of 7' in height, as measured from Finished Floor Elevation of the adjacent site. • The Applicant will install a 20' Type 'C' buffer along the northeast corner of the property, where the site is adjacent to residential, as shown on the Conceptual Site Plan. • The Applicant will retain the existingType'A' buffer along the western property line, as shown on the Conceptual Site Plan. • The Applicant will complete the installation of the required Type 'D' buffer along SR 82, as shown on the Conceptual Site Plan.

A detailed explanation of the request including what structures are existing and what is proposed; the amount of encroachment proposed using numbers, i.e., reduce front setback from 25 ft. to 18 ft.; when property owner purchased property; when existing principal structure was built (include building permit number(s) if possible); why encroachment is necessary; how existing encroachment came to be; etc. Response: This variance seeks to eliminate the requirement of the eastern perimeter landscape buffer and landscaping around the stockpile/processing plant/equipment area. The County's Land Development Code does not recognize the compatibility between earth mining and agricultural uses; thus, it requires unnecessary buffers for the project. Both uses require large tracts of land and occur in the same geographic area of the County. Earth mining is deemed an industrial use by the County, and industrial uses adjacent to agricultural zoning/uses require the installation of a 10' Type 'A' landscape buffer. Earth mining activities have no negative impacts on lands used for agricultural purposes, and when considering Ag zoning to Ag zoning, no buffers are required by the Land Development Code. The Applicant will install an LDC required buffer within 180 days along any property boundary where an SRA, PUD, rezone, or other residential development has been approved on an adjacent property, unless development on the adjacent property includes the construction of a perimeter berm that is a minimum of 7' in height, as measured from Finished Floor Elevation of the adjacent site. 2. For projects authorized under LDC Section 9.04.02, provide a detailed description of site alterations, including any dredging and filling. Response: An existing conditional use (Resolution 2010-244) permits the earth mining operation on the subject property. A request to amend the existing conditional use has been submitted as a companion item to this variance, requesting a ±91-acre expansion to the mining footprint. The mining operation includes dredging. If blasting is necessary, the state -required process will be followed for such activities. 3. Pursuant to LDC section 9.04.00, staff shall be guided in their recommendation to the Hearing Examiner, and the Hearing Examiner shall be guided in the determination to approve or deny a variance petition by the criteria (a-h) listed below. Please address the following criteria: a) Are there special conditions and circumstances existing which are peculiar to the location, size and characteristics of the land, structure, or building involved. Response: The subject site is located within the Rural Agricultural Zoning District, Mobile Home Overlay, and Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay, consisting of ±896-acres. The property is surrounded by undeveloped and agricultural lands, except along the northeast corner, which abuts Immokalee Sand Mine VA-PL20240012172 August 27, 2025 3 2600 Golden Gate Parkway, Naples, Florida, 34105 Office 239.403.6700 Fax 239.261.1797 Fla Engineer CA 28275 Fla Landscape CA LC26000632 Fla Surveyor/Mapper LB8479 Page 947 of 1180 PEN INSULA�i� ENGINEERING 7 single-family residential development. A 20' Type C buffer will be installed along the northeast corner to mitigate any potential impacts on residential development. b) Are there special conditions and circumstances which do not result from the action of the applicant such as pre-existing conditions relative to the property which is the subject of the variance request. Response: There are no special conditions or circumstances, such as pre-existing conditions relative to the subject property. c) Will a literal interpretation of the provisions of this zoning code work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant or create practical difficulties on the applicant. Response: The literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning code creates an unnecessary and undue hardship by requiring the installation of landscape buffers between compatible uses. Both uses require large tracts of land and occur in the same geographic area of the County. Earth mining is considered an industrial use, and industrial uses adjacent to agricultural zoning/uses require the installation of a 10' Type 'A' landscape buffer. Earth mining activities have no negative impacts on lands used for agricultural purposes, and when considering Ag zoning to Ag zoning, no buffers are required by the Land Development Code. The applicant has agreed to install code -required buffers along any property line where development is approved. d) Will the variance, if granted, be the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure and which promote standards of health, safety, or welfare. Response: The variance, if granted, will be the minimum variance needed to make the project successful. Granting this variance will have no negative impact on surrounding uses and will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare. e) Will granting the variance requested confer on the petitioner any special privilege that is denied by these zoning regulations to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district. Response: Granting this variance will not confer any special privilege to other lands, buildings or structures within the same zoning district. f) Will granting the variance be in harmony with the intent and purpose of this zoning code, and not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Response: The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the intent and purpose of the zoning codes and will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood.

Earth mining activities have no negative impacts on agricultural uses. h) Will granting the variance be consistent with the Growth Management Plan? Response: The variance request is to eliminate perimeter landscape buffers; therefore, granting the variance is neither consistent nor inconsistent with the Growth Management Plan.

INTRODUCTION Immokalee Sand LLC seeks to amend the mining footprint of an existing sand mine with associated sorting and processing facilities just north and west of the town of Immokalee. The mine project is referred to as the Immokalee Sand Mine (Mine) and encompasses approximately 896.70 acres situated in portions of Sections 6 and 7, Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Collier County, Florida. The Sand Mine is located immediately north of State Road 82 and about 1 mile west of the intersection of State Road 29 and State Road 82. A general location map is provided as Figure 1. The original permitting showed the project area as 897.9 acres, but subsequent survey revisions have amended the overall acreage to 896.7 acres. The project is located on existing agricultural lands. Citrus groves originally composed approximately half of the property while row crop and pasture comprised the other half. The citrus trees on the property were removed in 2013 and the land not currently being mined is maintained as cattle pasture through periodic mowing. Citrus, row crop, and cattle grazing operations surround the property for several miles in all directions. Another sand mine is located approximately 1.5 miles to the south of this project. The proposed expansion to the Mine project will add approximately 109.6 acres to the currently permitted footprint. This expansion area had been left out of the original permitting to allow for a potential wildlife corridor that was under consideration. The wildlife corridor was eventually located further north and west of the project site, so the proposed expansion area is no longer needed for any wildlife corridor. Approximately 6.6 acres of the expansion area are isolated man made wetland. Mitigation for these wetland impacts will be via purchase of mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank. This report frequently refers to lands within the Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary as the "Mine property" or "Mine site" while lands within the boundaries of the on -site preserve area are referred to as the "conservation area" or "preservation area". Taken together, the lands contained within the Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary are typically referred to herein as the "project lands". The preserve area associated with the project was established during the original permitting for the project. Appendix D outlines the enhancement and protection activities proposed within the on -site preserve area that were established during this earlier permitting. No additional preserve lands are proposed or required in association with this expansion. The preserve management plan also outlines the monitoring efforts that will be done to track and document the success of the enhancement efforts. It should be noted though that this area is not being used as mitigation for the proposed impacts. Impacts will be mitigated for by purchase of credits from an approved mitigation bank. This document provides information concerning the proposed Immokalee Sand Mine expansion project as it relates to natural resources and environmental issues. It was written to support applications submitted Collier County for a Conditional Use zoning determination and to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) seeking a modification to the current Environmental Resource Permit (Permit No. MMR-0297420-009) that has been issued for the project. Page 3 of 36 Page 958 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS (PRE -DEVELOPMENT) 2.1 VEGETATION ASSOCIATIONS The existing habitat types (based on FDOT FLUCFCS codes) are shown in Figure 2 and are further described in Appendix B. The description below lists each of the existing major land use categories and their extent as mapped on the Mine property while Appendix B contains a table listing all the unique FLUCFCS map units present on the Mine property and their extent. Of the total 896.70 acres contained within the mine property boundary, 95.8% classify as uplands (858.8 ac.), 2.6% classify as other surface waters (23.6 ac.; ponds and drainage ditches), and 1.6% classify as wetlands (14.3 ac.). The majority of the property (46%) consists of cattle pasture that is currently maintained by mowing while another 40% is currently dedicated to the mining operations. 2.2 NATIVE HABITAT Of the total 896.70 acres contained within the mine property boundary, The breakdown of habitats at the time of the original approval was; 94.7% classified as uplands (849.6 ac.), 3.6% classified as other surface waters (32.7 ac.; ponds and drainage ditches), and 1.7% classified as wetlands (15.6 ac.). The majority of the property (55%) consisted of citrus grove while another 31 % was actively farmed row crop fields. These acreages have been amended with the current application due to the mining activities that are currently underway. For the purpose of establishing the required native preserve, the original acreages are utilized. There were a total of 13.3 acres of habitats (i.e. vegetation associations or FLUCFCS categories) on the Mine property that were classified as native vegetation when the project was originally approved. The proposed project expansion will impact some (approximately 44%) of the existing native vegetation areas on the Mine property. The wetland areas that will be impacted are shown in Figure 6 while Appendix A Table 5 provides a listing of the total extent of the proposed impacts to the wetlands. The original project included establishment of a single on -site preserve (the "Preserve" or "native vegetation preserve") in the southwest corner of the site. This preserve contains a total of approximately 9.9 acres and was identified as the location where existing on -site native vegetation will be preserved. The Preserve is shown in Figures 5 and 6. Figure 7 illustrates the existing native vegetation habitats (FLUCFCS mapping units) that will be preserved on the Mine property within the native vegetation preserve. Table 6 lists the existing habitat types, for both native and non-native vegetation, contained within the boundaries of the proposed Preserve along with the total extent of each preserved habitat (FLUCFCS) type. Native vegetation preservation requirements applicable to the Mine property are addressed in Policy 6.1.3 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) of the County's Growth Management Plan (GMP) and in Policy 5.5.2.a.iii of Section D, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay or RLSA, of the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the GMP. These requirements are echoed in Section 4.08.05.J.2 of the County's Land Development Code (LDC), which indicates that if listed species are observed on the project site then a minimum of 40% of the native vegetation on site must be retained. The proposed on -site Preserve will preserve and protect a total of 7.4 acres of the existing vegetation present on the Mine property. This equates to preservation of 56 % of the total existing native vegetation on -site. The on -site Preserve has been protected by placing it into a conservation easement pursuant to Page 4 of 36 Page 959 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 LDC 3.05.07.H.1.d (i.e. in a conservation easement dedicated to the County). Both Category 1 and 2 invasive exotics identified in the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's (EPPC) "List of Invasive Species" will be eradicated and controlled throughout the Preserve, in accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.g.ii. Following completion of the initial exotic eradication efforts, shrubs, and ground cover species as appropriate to the wetland and upland prairie habitat will be planted as necessary within the Preserve areas that do not presently constitute native vegetation habitats to restore these areas to native. Supplemental plantings will be conducted in general accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.f. Through the restoration of current non- native vegetation areas, the entire 9.9-acre Preserve will be comprised of native vegetation associations. The post-restoration/enhancement communities are anticipated to be a mixture of FLUCFCS 310 (dry prairie) and FLUCFCS 643 (wetland prairie). A review of historic aerial photographs for the region indicated that by 1973, agricultural clearing and development had encompassed the entire area currently under consideration. Sometime after 1973, the row crop field area previously occupying the western half of the site was converted to citrus trees. The original approvals for the site identified a 25.9 acre area in the northeast corner of the property for preservation in conjunction with a potential wildlife corridor along the northern property boundary. Since the actual wildlife corridor accepted by FWC is located further north and west of the project site, the mine is proposed to be expanded into the area no longer required for the corridor. As a result, the proposed County preserve and native habitat retention has been located in the south west corner of the site contiguous to wetlands and a small native habitat area on the adjacent property to the west. 2.3 EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY & DRAINAGE PATTERNS Figure 3 illustrates the pre -mining topography and general surface water drainage patterns. The majority of the mine property consists of actively managed agricultural operations. The pasture areas are graded to drain into internal field ditches and/or into perimeter rim ditches surrounding groups of fields. The larger fields are bordered by large perimeter containment berms. Because of these perimeter berms, no runoff naturally drains from the property. All water from the site is diverted through the perimeter ditches to the eastern side of the property where it outfalls into another pump controlled ditch. When these pumps are operating, water is thrown off site to the east where it enters another ditch and eventually spreads out into more natural sheet flow conditions. The water table (water levels) within the crop fields is strictly managed and controlled. Wells with in -pumps in conjunction with throwout pumps at various locations (see Figure 3) are the primary means of regulating water levels within the fields. There are no significant off -site flows entering the site since the entire proposed excavation site is largely isolated from off site flows by the existing farming berms and associated agricultural operations. The site is surrounded by agricultural lands in active production which are also managed by similar agricultural water management systems. 2.4 WETLANDS AND OTHER SURFACE WATERS Qualified Turrell, Hall & Associates, Inc. environmental staff inspected the project lands for the purpose of delineating wetlands and other surface waters. The wetland delineation Page 5 of 36 Page 960 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 methodologies and criteria set forth by the state (in Chapter 62-340, FAC, Delineation of the Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual) were followed in determining whether an area classified as a wetland or other surface water and in delineating the limits (boundaries) of potential jurisdictional wetlands and other surface waters. Turrell, Hall & Associates ecologists flagged the boundaries of those areas which classified as wetlands according to state and federal guidelines. There were very few cases where it appeared wetland lines established based on the state methodology would differ from those established based on the federal (USACE) methodology. Where this did occur, the feature boundary was flagged based on the landward -most extent of the two methods - in other words, the methodology that produced the greatest extent of wetlands was used to flag the wetland line (the "safe uplands line" approach). The wetland boundaries flagged (marked) by staff ecologists were subsequently survey -located. Figure 2 depicts wetlands present on the project lands and immediately adjacent areas. Within the Mine property there are 3 isolated wetlands that encompass a total of 14.3 acres or about 1.6% of the Mine property. These "on -site" wetlands are identified as hatched areas on Figure 2.. Table 3 of Appendix A provides a listing of the various existing FLUCFCS types mapped in the on -site wetlands as depicted in Figure 2. Refer to Appendix B for a description of the various FLUCFCS categories. The following paragraphs provide a general description of each of the three on -site wetlands. Wetland 643 (7.7 acres; in southwest corner of mine property) This wetland is located in the southwest corner of the property. The wetland is adjacent to wetland areas to the west and small areas within the road right-of-way. Overall, this wetland and the adjacent wetland areas are isolated by the existing road and agricultural operations. Based on a review of historic aerial photos and field observations, it appears this has always been a depressional wetland area. Wetland 643 is primarily a wet prairie not dominated by any single vegetation but instead composed of a wide mixture of ruderal and grassy vegetation including dog fennel, beak rush, maidencane, soft rush, flat sedges, primrose willow, red root, crinum lily, and several other mixed species. Exotic species such as para grass and torpedo grass are also present. Active mowing has kept woody types of vegetation out of this area. It appears to have been used for staging and storage activities in the past. Approximately 6 to 8 inches of standing water can be present for short periods when the area water table is allowed to remain high. This area has been identified and set aside as preserve area to meet local (Collier County) preservation requirements. It is not being used as mitigation for any wetland impacts. Wetland 618 (5.6 acres; in east central portion of the property) This wetland is completely surrounded and isolated by agricultural berms, disturbed lands, and drainage ditches. Indications are that the central portion of the wetland, an area dominated by willows, was historically a wetland but that the surrounding portions to the north and east were once uplands. Today, these outer portions of the wetland consist of areas of dense Brazilian pepper, and a scrub/shrub community composed of various shrubby species such as primrose willows and Brazilian pepper. The entire wetland can be inundated for significant periods when the water table in the surrounding fields is allowed to remain high. This wetland is being proposed to be impacted under the current expansion modification request. Page 6 of 36 Page 961 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 Wetland 640 (1.0 acre; in the northeastern portion of the property) This small wetland is entirely man-made. It was created from historic upland areas when the area was used as cattle pasture. The depressional areas appear to have originally been dug as watering holes that were later incorporated into the water retention area for the fields. The wetland hydroperiods are completely dictated by the active manipulation of water levels in the adjacent drainage ditches and pasture fields. This area will be impacted under the current expansion request. 2.4.1 WETLAND SEASONAL HIGH WATER TABLE AND HYDROPERIOD Ecologists attempted to estimate the existing seasonal high water table (SHWT) elevation in each of the wetlands on the Mine property. Because of the historical and ongoing water level manipulation estimation of SHWT was difficult. The types of wetlands present and the heavy hydrological manipulation associated with the agricultural operations resulted in few reliable indicators that could be used. The physical and biological indicators used in the determination included water stains, drift lines, tussocks, adventitious rooting, buttressed tree trunks, lichen lines, etc. The estimated SHWT elevations appear to be split between the northeastern portion of the property and the majority (remainder) of the site. Wetland 643 SHWT appeared to be about 36.0 to 36.5 feet NGVD (34.8 to 35.3 NAVD) while wetlands 618, and 640 appear to have a SHWT ranging from 34 feet to 35 feet NGVD (32.8 to 33.8 NAVD). Former historic SHWT elevations were essentially impossible to gage in the wetlands present on project lands. The hydroperiods in these wetlands have been altered by farming activities for so long that signs of the historic high water levels have vanished or are so faint and/or variable that they could not be estimated with sufficient certainty. One must remember that the existing SHWT elevations determined for wetlands on the Mine property do not necessarily reflect a "natural' hydroperiod. The water levels in these wetlands are governed by how the area water table is regulated in the surrounding agricultural fields. Using off -site wetlands to judge historical water levels will not work for this property because all of the surrounding lands have been exposed to the same types of hydrological manipulations as have occurred on this property. 2.4.2 OTHER SURFACE WATERS All the other surface waters (OSWs) on the Mine property are man-made agricultural drainage ditches and ponds that are an active part of the current agricultural surface water management system. Characteristics of these ditches are highly variable. Some are largely devoid of vegetation while others have patchy cover by native and exotic herbaceous species along side slopes and ditch bottoms. Nuisance, exotic, and native woody species can also be present. Maintenance excavation is performed in these ditches and ponds as is occasional applications of herbicides, thereby altering vegetative cover following such events. Although "separate" ditches are mapped on the Mine property, most are hydraulically connected to one or more other ditch segments via pipes. There are also two on -site OSW ponds that have been mapped. One of these (SW-3) has a direct hydrologic connection to the on -site ditches. This pond has limited shoreline vegetation, mostly consisting of Brazilian pepper and other exotic species. The small pond in the north east portion of the site (SW-2) appears to be the by-product of past agricultural pumping activities and was also used as a cattle watering hole. This pond is very shallow and will dry down to the point that wetland marsh vegetation frequently fills in the pond when water levels are low. Page 7 of 36 Page 962 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 2.4.3 JURISDICTIONAL STATUS OF WETLANDS AND OTHER SURFACE WATERS All of the wetlands and OSWs (drainage ditches and ponds) now present on the project lands were assumed to be FDEP jurisdictional. Wetland areas 640 is an isolated wetland surrounded by upland crop fields and berms, and there are no ditches bordering or in close proximity to this wetland that has any hydrologic connection with off -site wetlands or navigable Waters of the United States. This on -site wetland was assumed to not be USACE jurisdictional because of these factors. Wetland 643 has a direct connection to off -site wetlands but the total wetland area (on - site and off -site) is isolated by agricultural activities and the road right-of-way. Due to the lack of connectivity, this wetland was also assumed to not be USACE jurisdictional. Wetland 618 is a natural wetland connected to a small pond and also immediately adjacent to a ditch that has a direct connection to off -site ditches. This wetland (618) was judged to be USACE jurisdictional. 2.5 LISTED PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES A thorough survey for listed animal and plant species was originally conducted on the project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates biologists in 2008. Subsequent survey efforts have been conducted in 2012, 2019, 2020, and 2024. This listed species survey and its results are discussed in Appendix B. The listed animal species observed on project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates included American alligator, wood stork, snowy egret, tricolored heron, white ibis, sandhill crane, and crested caracara. A caracara nest was assumed to be located on the property in 2016 as a result of surveys done in conjunction with the SR 82 road widening. No caracara nesting has been observed in subsequent monitoring during nesting seasons. A sandhill crane nest was observed in SW-2 during the 2020 survey efforts. No other nesting or denning of listed species has been observed on the project site. No listed plant species were found on the project lands. Subsequent to the original field surveys in 2008, nesting surveys of the Mine property for crested caracaras and their nests have been conducted during the 2017-2018, 2019-2020, and is ongoing in the current 2024/25 nesting seasons. No caracara nests were located though caracaras were observed foraging on the Mine property. The methodology and results of this survey are also discussed in Appendix B. A few listed animal species, in addition to those documented on the project lands, have the potential to occurring in certain habitats present on project lands. These species are further discussed in Appendix B and include; indigo snake, gopher tortoise, gopher frog, roseate spoonbill, limpkin, burrowing owl, listed wading birds, peregrine falcon, Southeastern American kestrel, bald eagle, and Florida panther. The probability of these animals utilizing suitable habitats in project lands ranges from high to low depending upon the particular species (see discussion in Appendix B). It is improbable that any of these species currently reside or nest on the project lands. It is highly unlikely that any listed plant species could be present on the project lands. 2.6 HISTORICAii/ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES During the initial permitting for this site, a letter was submitted to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (DHR) requesting DHR to examine the Florida Master Site File for any previously recorded archaeological/historical resources documented on the project lands. DHR responded in a letter dated 9/25/08 that the Florida Master Site File listed no previously recorded cultural resources on the subject property. A Cultural Resources Survey of the site was conducted in 2016 which did not find any evidence of cultural or archaeological resources on the property. A copy of the Survey is provided as Appendix E. Page 8 of 36 Page 963 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 The Collier County Long Range Planning Department's "Index Map of Historical/Archaeological Probability of Collier County, Florida", published on 5/5/01 was also reviewed. These maps did not show any historic structures, archaeological sites, or historic districts on the project lands. Based on a review of historic aerial photos, this area has existed as actively maintained agricultural lands for at least the past 40 years or more. Given the above, it does not appear that development of the Immokalee Sand Mine property will impact any historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places or otherwise of historical, architectural, or archaeological value. If a suspected archaeological or historical artifact is discovered during the course of site development activities (construction, mining, clearing, etc.), the development activities at the specific site will be immediately halted and the appropriate agency notified. Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to enable the County or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action. 2.7 SOILS Based on the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) "Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida" (NRCS, 1998) there are 7 different soil types (soil map units) present on the project lands. Figure 4 provides a soils map for the project area as derived from the NRCS mapping. The following sub -sections provide a brief description of each soil map unit identified on the project lands. Information is provided about the soil's landscape position (i.e. its typical location in the landscape on a county -wide basis), the soil's profile (i.e. textural composition and thickness or depth range of the layers or horizons commonly present in the soil), and the soil's drainage and hydrologic characteristics. In addition, the hydrologic soil group is also identified for each soil. There are 4 groups that are used to estimate runoff from precipitation. Soils are grouped according to the rate of infiltration of water when the soils are thoroughly wet and are subject to precipitation from long -duration storms. The four groups range from A (soils with a high infiltration rate, low runoff potential, and a high rate of water transmission) to D (soils having a slow infiltration rate and very slow rate of water transmission). The soils occurring on project lands are as follows: Immokalee fine sand (Map Unit #7) Landscape position - Flatwoods. Soil profile - Surface layer is black fine sand about 6 inches thick. The subsurface is light gray fine sand to a depth of 35 inches. The subsoil is fine sand varying from reddish brown to dark brown and down to about 58 inches. Substratum is a pale brown fine sand to a depth of about 80 inches. Drainage/Hydrologic characteristics - Poorly drained. Permeability is moderate. The seasonal high water table (apparent) is at a depth of 6 to 18 inches for 1 to 6 months. Water table can recede to more than 40 inches during dry periods. Hydrologic group is B/D.

Soil profile for Malabar, high soil - The surface layer is typically dark gray fine sand about 2 inches thick. The subsurface layer is light brownish gray fine sand to a depth of about 15 inches. Drainage/Hydrologic characteristics - Poorly drained. Permeability is slow or very slow for Malabar soil and rapid for Ft. Drum soil. Under natural conditions, the seasonal high water table (apparent) is set at a depth of 6 to 18 inches for 1 to 6 months during most years. During the other months, the water table is below a depth of 18 inches, and it recedes to a depth of more than 40 inches during extended dry periods. Hydrologic group is C for Fort Drum soils and B/D for Malabar soils.

The subsoil extends of a depth of about 62 inches and consists of fine sandy loam. Drainage/Hydrologic characteristics - Holopaw soils are very poorly drained. Permeability for Holopaw soils is moderate to moderately slow. The available water capacity is low. The seasonal high water table (apparent) is within a depth of 12 inches for 3 to 6 months during most years. During the other months, the water table is below a depth of 12 inches, and it recedes to a depth of more than 40 inches during extended dry periods.

PROPOSED CONDITIONS (POST -DEVELOPMENT) 3.1 PROPOSED PROJECT The Owners propose to expand the excavation footprint of the existing sand mine utilizing the related production and sorting facilities on the 896.7-acre Immokalee Sand Mine property, as illustrated in the conceptual site plan (see Figure 7). The area to be mined shown on Figure 6 is the "maximum excavation area". Mining will involve removal of any overburden using typical equipment such as bulldozers, front-end loaders, and dump trucks. Once the water table has been reached, other conventional excavation equipment such as draglines and excavators will be brought in to start the sand extraction. As the depth of the pit increases, a hydraulic dredge will be used. This hydraulic dredge will be used for the vast majority of the sand extraction activities. The total depth of excavation previously permitted by the FDEP is no more than 90 feet below the control elevation (-54.5 feet NAVD) or to the top of the confining layer, whichever is shallower. Any haul roads built within the mining area will utilize crushed limestone. The project will include the processing facilities proposed along the western side of the property where the excavated materials will be stockpiled and processed on - site. The majority of the sand mine will be excavated "in the wet" rather than dewatering an entire individual pit. However, some dewatering activities may initially be necessary in order to efficiently excavate down to the mine target sand deposit. This excavation will be done hydraulically in a single expanding cell and the water discharge will be recirculated into a perimeter ditch as it is dug. The vast majority of the mining will be accomplished by the utilization of the hydraulic dredge. The dredge allows for the material to be pumped to the central processing area where it can be sorted and graded. This also eliminates the need for all of the haul roads and on -site trucks and machinery that are common at rock quarries. The hydraulic dredge can be adjusted to reach differential depths and is the most efficient method of excavating deeper sand deposits. Limited blasting may be necessary as part of the mining operation. The soil borings indicate that the site does not contain a significant layer of rock. However, if small rock patches are encountered blasting may be necessary. Such blasting will occur only as needed and will be limited to no more than twice per week. The blasting will be conducted only in daylight hours. Depending on demand for the sand, the actual excavation (dredging) process may be conducted 24 hours per day. Modifications to this work schedule could result from discussions with FFWCC and FWS. The production schedule anticipates that between 10 and 15 acres will be mined per year, though this number will be greater initially then decrease as the sand is extracted at greater depths. Furthermore, market conditions and demand for sand will greatly affect the production schedule. The production schedule listed above is a maximum production schedule. The central portion of the mine property will contain various sorting and processing facilities and an initial tailings/drainage pond. This area will include the settling/tailings ponds, the plant for processing the excavated materials, and stockpiles of the processed product (graded sand). The processing plant will operate roughly 12 to 16 hours per day. The processing plant will use water pumped up as part of the dredging operations along with the sand to transport and wash the mined materials, assist in the sorting, and to remove undesirable fines (silts and clays). At the start of operations, a well may be needed to supply some water to the plant but this consumptive Page 12 of 36 Page 967 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 use will cease once the Mine pits are capable yielding a sufficient volume of water. Water in this pond can be recirculated to the processing plant as necessary. One well tapping the surficial aquifer will be constructed to supply the limited amount of water necessary to meet potable water needs. An on site septic system will be built to handle sanitary sewage generated. If necessary, a stormwater containment berm will be constructed around the outer perimeter of mining portions of the project (see Figure 6) so that the crest of this earthen berm will be high enough to contain all storm events up to and including the 25-year event. An additional two feet of freeboard will be designed into the containment berm system where needed. Thus, all runoff from the mining area will be contained on -site and will either percolate through the soil or flow into the pit. Once the mining has been completed, reclamation plans will include stormwater discharge to off -site wetlands via an outfall control structure on the eastern side of the lake only after the stormwater has received appropriate treatment and attenuation (i.e. treatment and attenuation that satisfies water quality and water quantity design standards specified in the SFWMD's Applicant's Handbook). It is important to understand that the existing cattle farming activities will continue during much of the total lifespan of the Mine project. Pasture fields will be retained in areas not being mined and will be gradually eliminated as the mining progresses across the property. The fields and agricultural drainage and irrigation ditches associated with these fields will be modified as necessary in advance of the mining to allow farming to continue in non -mined areas. The overall mining area will be reclaimed in accordance with reclamation requirements set forth in Chapter 62C-36, Florida Administrative Code (limestone reclamation requirements). Mine closure and reclamation will include removal of the processing plant. Reclamation of the overall Mine property will be completed following completion of all the mining operations. This will be done in accordance with criteria set forth in the state's applicable mine reclamation standards (i.e. Chap. 62C-36.008, FAC). Three isolated and degraded wetlands, totaling 14.3 acres, currently remain on the mine property. The mining operation will eliminate two of these wetlands for a combined total of 6.6 acres of impact. However, any functional values lost as a result will be fully compensated through the purchase of wetland credits from an approved wetland mitigation bank. In addition, approximately 9.9 acres have been retained in the southwest corner of the property. This area includes an isolated 7.7 acre wetland that has been preserved to meet local Collier County preservation requirements. Approximately 7.4 acres of this wetland are included within the conservation easement for the preserve area. the remaining 0.3 acre of wetland is along the perimeter of the property within utility or ROW easements so while it is being retained on the site, it is not included in the preserve calculations. Alligators currently reside within and/or utilize some of the larger agricultural ditches and the small man-made ponds on the mine property. Various listed wading birds forage within the ditches and wetlands on the mine property as well as along the banks of the ponds. Florida sandhill cranes and crested caracaras also occasionally forage in the property's pastures and crop fields. These listed species will be protected during project construction (see Appendix C). The lake created through the mining process will establish far more aquatic habitat for use by listed wading birds and alligators than presently exists on the property. The large mining pit lake, when completed, will provide much greater water storage on the property than exists currently and thus will be a source of groundwater recharge for the general region. The water table in the lakes will reflect the existing regional water table and so will not adversely affect natural hydroperiods or peak water table elevations in off -site wetlands. To the Page 13 of 36 Page 968 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 contrary, more water will be available to the wetlands through the surficial aquifer recharge effects of the lake. The on -site stormwater management system proposed is designed so that some stormwater from the pit lake will discharge following appropriate water quality treatment and attenuation. The overall water balance for the project site should be improved since groundwater withdrawals for crop field irrigation will be phased out as the mining operation progresses. Currently, agricultural practices on the property include the use of throwout pumps to discharge water from the crop fields into on -site uplands and wetland storage areas. This discharge seriously disrupts and adversely impacts the natural hydroperiod of affected wetlands and also lowers the water quality in the lands receiving water from the pumping. As mining progresses, the on -site farming activities including the use of throwout pumps will be eliminated. Surface water nutrient loadings generated by the existing farming operations can be substantial. When managed appropriately the impacts can be eliminated. However, the ultimate elimination of the throw out pumps as proposed will certainly eliminate any potential for adverse impacts. The proposed project stormwater management system will capture and treat on -site stormwater runoff in accordance with SFWMD/FDEP stormwater treatment and attenuation design criteria. The stormwater treatment capacity of the lake will be sufficient enough to gain a state water quality certification. Various acreage estimates for the proposed project are provided below. • Total area within Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary = 896.70 acres • Total area to be developed as part of the project = 886.3 acres • Portion of developed area to be mined = 680.3 acres • Portion of developed area to be disturbed but not mined = 206.0 acres • Total area within the property boundary to be preserved (on -site Preserve) = 9.9 acres Proposed Composition of Areas Developed on the Mine Property • Mine Lake (dug as excavation cells; area at control elevation) = 680.3 acres • Tailings pond (area at control elevation) =17.9 acres • Aggregate stockpile and processing area plus Offices/operational facilities area = 47.9 acres • Perimeter stormwater containment berms = 59.3 acres • Primary haul road = 83.9 acres • Total impervious areas = 14.1 acres 3.2 PROJECT CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE Figure 6 illustrates the conceptual site plan for the expanded Immokalee Sand Mine project. No construction of public facilities is proposed as part of the project. The property will be accessed directly from State Road 82 using the access determined in coordination with County and State DOT and traffic officials. The proposed project includes constructing new turn lanes (west -bound right turn lane and east -bound left turn lane) on State Road 82. The project construction activities commenced in 2019. The wetland mitigation purchase has already occurred for the previously impacted wetland areas. Mitigation for the proposed new wetland impacts will occur shortly after issuance of the necessary permits. Generally speaking, the Mine operations office and related facilities (parking lot, on -site entry road, etc.), processing plant and facilities, and the tailings pond will be constructed first along with the perimeter stormwater berms encompassing this area. Excavation of the mining pit will then commence and will be expanded over time. Mining of the overburden in the construction office and tailings Page 14 of 36 Page 969 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 pond area has already commenced. It is estimated that a maximum of roughly 40 to 50 acres may be mined per year, although initial mining will encompass more acreage, areal expansion will reduce as deeper depths are mined. Prior to starting excavation of a given excavation area; the perimeter stormwater containment berm will be constructed/expanded to encompass the new mining area. Final completion of mining activities is estimated to occur roughly 10 to 15 years after project construction is initiated but this could vary. The overall mining area ("developed area") will be reclaimed in accordance with reclamation requirements set forth in Chapter 62C-36.008, Florida Administrative Code (limestone reclamation requirements/standards). Mine closure and reclamation will include removal of the processing plant plus elimination (filling and subsequent revegetation) of the tailings pond. It is important to understand that the existing farming activities will continue during much of the total lifespan of the Mine project. Pasture fields will be retained in areas not being mined and will be gradually eliminated as the mining progresses across the property. The fields and agricultural drainage and irrigation ditches associated with these fields will be modified as necessary in advance of the mining to allow farming to continue in non -mined areas. 3.3 PROJECT IMPACTS TO WETLANDS The proposed expansion of the project will impact a total of 6.7 acres of isolated, degraded wetlands on the Mine property. Development of the proposed Mine project will impact two of the remaining three wetlands on the Mine property; hence one wetland area will be preserved on -site. one small wetland area was authorized to be impacted under the original permitting and no longer exists. The additional impacted wetlands proposed with this expansion total about 6.6 acres. Figure 6 illustrates the wetlands that will be impacted. Appendix A Table 4 provides the existing habitat types (FLUCFCS map units) occurring in the wetlands to be impacted. During the construction and mining process, appropriate construction best management practices will be employed to help protect water quality and minimize the discharge of sediments and/or turbid water from the project site. The specific erosion/sediment/turbidity control methods and devices used will generally conform to applicable standards and criteria set forth in the "FDER Florida Development Manual," Sections 6-301 through 6-500 (FDER.1988. "The Florida Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management," Chapter 6: "Storm Water and Erosion Control Best Management Practices for Developing Areas; Guidelines for Using Erosion and Sediment Control Practices," ES BMP1.01-1.67. Tallahassee, FL.). These methods will also typically conform to applicable standards and guidelines set forth in the "Florida Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspector's Manual" (FDEP, 2002). All runoff from the developed Mine area will be contained on -site while the Mine is active through construction of the perimeter stormwater containment berms. 3.3.1 DIRECT, PERMANENT IMPACTS Development of the proposed Mine expansion project will result in direct, permanent impacts to a total of 6.6 acres of FDEP jurisdictional wetlands and potentially USACE jurisdictional wetlands. As used herein, the term "direct, permanent impacts" refers to actions that will result in the complete elimination of jurisdictional areas (i.e. excavation and fill). The remainder of the existing on -site wetlands will be preserved. Table 4 lists the proposed permanent wetland impacts while Figure 6 illustrates these impacts. The wetlands proposed to be permanently impacted are all isolated and substantially degraded. UMAM scores for the existing functional values of these wetlands range from 0.27 to 0.33 (see Table 8). Page 15 of 36 Page 970 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 Wetland 643 is a small area in the southwest corner of the property that also extends off -site. None of this wetland will be impacted by the proposed mine and the off -site portions of this wetland will also remain intact. There are several jurisdictional other surface waters (OSWs) within the Mine property boundary which are all segments of man-made agricultural drainage ditches and small man- made ponds. Development of the Mine project will result in direct, permanent impacts to all these OSWs. The only OSW not to be directly impacted will be portions of the perimeter rim ditch that is located both on and off -site. Portions or "slivers" of this ditch located within the Mine property are not anticipated to be impacted by Mine development. 3.3.2 TEMPORARY IMPACTS Permitted wetland enhancement activities in wetland 643 required mechanized clearing and grading of portions of the wetland. These activities took place in disturbed areas that were dominated by exotics. This wetland is not USACE jurisdictional. The proposed enhancement program may require additional temporary impacts to a total of 7.4 acres of FDEP jurisdictional wetlands to maintain the area free from exotics. The effects of any needed future clearing and grading activities proposed should not be considered wetland "impacts" since they are necessary to carry out the wetland enhancement and will result in overall positive benefits to the affected wetland areas. 3.3.3 SECONDARY IMPACTS TO OFF -SITE WETLANDS AND WATER RESOURCES The proposed layout of the Mine project's development features will minimize potential secondary impacts to the only adjacent off -site wetlands by providing an appropriate buffer between the development features and these wetlands. The Mine pit, when completed, will provide much greater water storage on the Mine property than exists currently and thus will be a source of groundwater recharge for the general region. The water table in the lake will reflect the existing regional water table and thereby maintain ambient natural water table levels. In this manner, the proposed lake will not adversely affect natural hydroperiods or peak water table elevations around the project site. Indications are that the overall water budget (water balance) for the Mine property will be improved by development of the project, largely through the elimination of agricultural ground water usage. The pre -mining conditions likely produce a net deficit water balance due to losses from evapotranspiration/evaporation, surface runoff, and ground water pumping. The post -mining conditions should create a surplus water balance, primarily due to the elimination of agricultural ground water pumping and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in surface runoff. The proposed project will, over time, eliminate the agricultural ground water pumping, will reduce the net consumptive use of the surficial aquifer, and will somewhat decrease site runoff. Due to the proposed method of excavation (wet mining), groundwater resources will not be adversely affected by this project. The project site is not located in an area where Mine excavation activities might pose the threat of potential saltwater intrusion. Most of the Mine property prior to the original permitting was used to produce citrus and small vegetable crops and as such required irrigation. The supplemental irrigation is supplied by groundwater resources via wells tapping the surficial aquifer (water table aquifer). The proposed project will not require a net consumption of as great a volume of water as that Page 16 of 36 Page 971 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 demanded by the crop fields, therefore utilization of groundwater resources will be reduced. The project's proposed stormwater management system will be designed to comply with all applicable design standards and requirements set forth in SFWMD's Applicant's Handbook, including but not limited to those addressing water quality criteria, water quantity criteria, and water management design and construction criteria. Adherence to these criteria will help ensure that, following mine reclamation, discharges from the stormwater management system to off -site lands meets applicable state and federal surface water quality standards. While Mine operations are on -going (pre -reclamation) all runoff from developed areas will be contained on -site through use a perimeter stormwater containment berm. This runoff will flow into the project's lakes for proper attenuation and treatment. During the construction and mining process, appropriate best management practices will be employed to control and reduce soil erosion, sediment transport, and turbidity. Given these factors, the proposed project should not adversely impact water quality in off -site wetlands or surface waters. Currently agricultural practices on the Mine property also include the use of throwout pumps to discharge water from the crop fields into off -site uplands and wetlands. This discharge lowers the water quality in the wetlands receiving water from the pumping since the water receives minimal, if any, treatment prior to the pumping. As mining progresses, the on -site farming activities including the use of throwout pumps will be eliminated. Discontinuation of pumping will further benefit water quality in off -site wetlands and other surface waters. 3.4 PRESERVATION, ENHANCEMENT, RESTORATION, AND CREATION OF WETLANDS The proposed wetland impacts will be compensated by purchase of mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank. An assessment of the wetland impacts and mitigation was conducted using the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) set forth in Chapter 62-345, Florida Administrative Code. A summary of this assessment is provided in Table 8 of Appendix A, while the complete UMAM sheets are provided in Appendix E. The UMAM assessment indicates that the UMAM scores for the four remaining on -site wetlands range from 0.27 to 0.43 and that the total functional value of the 6.6 acres of wetlands to be impacted is 2.71. The applicant will purchase 2.71 mitigation bank credits from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank Expansion to offset the proposed project wetland impacts. This will fully compensate for the proposed project wetland impacts without the inclusion of the on -site enhancement activities proposed in the on -site preserve. The UMAM assessment indicates the Mine project will not result in any net loss of wetland functions. 3.5 PROJECT IMPACTS TO LISTED SPECIES An ongoing survey for listed animal and plant species has been conducted on the project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates ecologists. This listed species survey, and its results are discussed in Appendix B. The listed animal species observed on project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates included American alligator, wood stork, snowy egret, white ibis, tricolored heron, sandhill crane, and crested caracara. Other than alligators and sandhill crane, none of the observed listed animal species reside or nest on the project lands. No listed plant species were found on the project lands. Appendix C provides a protection plan (management plan) for the listed species that were documented utilizing the project lands as well as for some additional listed wading birds that were not observed but which could forage on the property. Page 17 of 36 Page 972 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 The following subsections provide an assessment of the proposed project's potential impacts to various listed animal species. The species addressed include those observed on or in close proximity to the Mine property as well as certain species that could potentially occur on the Mine property and/or on off -site lands close to the Mine site. Wood Storks ftcteria americans) No wood stork nests, rookeries, or roosting sites have been found on the project lands. The closest documented wood stork colony is located approximately 9.3 miles east of the Mine property in the Okaloacoochee Slough. The proximity of this rookery (colony) places the proposed project within the colony's 18.6- mile Core Foraging Area as defined by FWS. The property is also within the CFA of two other rookery sites. It is 13.5 miles from the Corkscrew rookery and 17.7 miles from the North Katherine Island rookery. Wood storks have been documented foraging in a few of the larger agricultural ditches on the Mine property. On -site wetlands do not provide suitable foraging habitat for wood storks for various reasons (water depths, density of shrub cover, inappropriate hydroperiod, minimal prey species, etc.). Though it is possible that wood storks could occasionally forage in limited portions of on -site wetland 643; however the quality of these habitats for foraging purposes is minimal. None of the on -site wetlands offer habitats suitable for establishment of wood stork rookeries. The proposed project will impact two of the remaining three small wetlands present on the Mine property. These impacts will not constitute a significant loss of suitable foraging habitat. The project will also eliminate (impact) essentially all of the existing other surface waters (OSWs) present on the Mine property (i.e. the existing man-made agricultural drainage ditches and ponds). Very few of the ditches to be impacted provide significant wood stork foraging opportunities. Most of the ditches are generally very shallow and contain limited prey species when water is present. The remaining larger ditches do provide suitable foraging habitat when conditions are favorable. The foraging opportunities provided can vary significantly during a given year due a wide array of factors that include, but are not limited to: water levels present (ditches can be too dry for several months; water depths can be too deep in larger ditches, particularly when fields are being irrigated); variable abundance of prey species; access of prey species to ditch segment (manipulation control structures such as flashboard risers can block or allow access); maintenance condition of ditch segment (ex. whether vegetation cover is dense or sparse, whether the ditch has been recently re -graded or not, etc.). The herbaceous wet prairie to be retained and enhanced will provide 7.4 acres of short hydroperiod wetlands to the project site. Upon completion of the mining operation and mine reclamation, the resultant lake will encompass a total of approximately 680 acres. The lake will provide a deep water refuge for fish as well as habitat for a diversity of other aquatic and semi -aquatic organisms. Vegetated littoral zones will form along the perimeters of the lake. These littoral zones will provide some foraging opportunities for wood storks, however the foraging value on a per acre basis will be limited compared to more favorable habitats such as the prairie areas in the preserve (due to factors such as water depth, dispersal of prey species, extended inundation vs. seasonal drying, etc.). During the initial construction phase of the Mine and as the areas to be mined expand over time; various measures will be taken to help ensure protection of wood storks. These measures are addressed in the enclosed "listed species protection plan" (see Appendix C). The proposed wetland mitigation activities will occur at a mitigation bank within the same wood stork Core Foraging Area in which the proposed wetland impacts will occur. This mitigation is in keeping with the Section 404(b)(1) guidelines and, in conjunction with the creation of the Mine, should Page 18 of 36 Page 973 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 adequately compensate for the loss of the existing low -quality wood stork foraging habitats that will be impacted by the Mine project. Given these considerations, it is concluded that the proposed Mine project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect wood storks. Various Listed WadingBirds irds Little blue herons (Egretta caerulea), snowy egrets (Egretta thula), tricolored herons (Egretta tricolor), and white ibis (Eudocimus alba) have been observed foraging in various agricultural drainage ditches and swales located on the Mine property. Little blue herons and snowy egrets have also been observed foraging in on -site wetlands. No nests of these species have been observed on the project lands. Besides these species, other listed wading birds that could theoretically frequent appropriate habitats within the project lands include roseate spoonbills (Ajaja ajaja), and limpkins (Aramus guarauna). Development of the Mine project will result in the loss of on -site drainage ditches and wetlands thereby reducing potential foraging habitats for the listed wading birds mentioned while the Mine lake shoreline will provide new potential foraging habitats. The listed species protection plan includes measures to help protect these species during project construction and operation. Overall, the proposed project will impact existing low -quality foraging habitats but should adequately compensate for these impacts and not threaten the continued existence of the cited listed wading birds. American Alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) Numerous alligators have been observed in the drainage ditches on the Mine property. No alligator nests have been documented on or in close proximity to the Mine property though nests could occur in the denser wetland areas and not be observed. The proposed project will affect alligators; however the anticipated impacts (primarily a combination of temporary and permanent displacement) should not substantially affect alligator populations in the general region. Measures are included in the listed species protection plan to help avoid and minimize direct impacts to individual alligators and alligator nests. Once the Mine is reclaimed, the lake will provide roughly 680 acres of viable alligator habitat, far more than exists presently. Florida Sandhill Cranes (Gros canadensis pratensis) A few Florida sandhill cranes have been observed on the Mine property foraging in row crop field areas. Cranes have also been observed in pastures and herbaceous wetlands near the property. A single crane nest was observed at the north end of SW-2 during the 2020 listed species survey effort. Development of the Mine property will eliminate certain on -site upland and wetland habitats that provide foraging opportunities for sandhill cranes. The wet prairie area in the southwest corner of the site will be protected and retained. Crane foraging can also continue to occur in the pasture areas as the mining operation expands. The gradual loss of the pasture lands as the mining footprint expands should not threaten the continued existence of sandhill cranes nor should it adversely impact sandhill crane populations. The listed species protection plan incorporates actions that will help ensure protection of sandhill crane nests in the unlikely event that such nests are established on -site. The FWC has expressed some concerns on other projects that blasting activities might adversely impact off -site sandhill Page 19 of 36 Page 974 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 crane nests. The listed species protection plan calls for conducting off -site surveys for sandhill crane nests should the first blasting events be scheduled to commence shortly before or during the crane nesting season. It also includes measures for protecting any nests encountered from the potential secondary impacts of blasting (ex. abandonment of nest). If the first blasting events will not coincide with the nesting season, it was assumed that sandhill cranes would not elect to establish nests in off -site lands that are in close enough proximity to the Mine that the cranes would feel threatened or disturbed by the on -going blasting activities. Eastern Indigo Snakes (DrNmarchon corais coy eri� No indigo snakes have been observed on the project lands and the majority of these lands do not provide particularly suitable habitats for indigo snakes. Considering their elusive nature, their large home range, and the wide array of habitats they may utilize, there remains a limited potential that indigo snakes could occasionally frequent portions of the project lands. The listed species protection plan adopted as part of the Mine project includes appropriate measures for helping ensure the protection of indigo snakes throughout the operational life of the Mine. The particulars of the protection plan for indigo snakes set forth in the Mine's listed species protection plan basically follow the FWS's prescribed "Standard Protection Measures for the Eastern Indigo Snake". There are no gopher tortoise burrows, and only a very few armadillo burrows, on the project lands where an indigo snake could be buried or trapped and injured during project activities. In consideration of these points and given the limited probability of any indigo snakes occurring on the project lands, it is anticipated that the Mine project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect this species. Florida Bonneted Bat (Eumops floridanus) No bats or bat roosts have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. Due to the agricultural activities there are no trees with cavities suitable for roosting. It is possible that bats might establish in some of the farm storage sheds or mine office buildings in the future either prior to initial mine construction activities or afterward as the Mine development/excavation progresses though the likelihood of this occurring is minimal at best. The proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to bonneted bats. Florida Panthers (Puma concolor cord) Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation overlays encompass the Mine property as discussed in Appendix C, although no Florida panthers have ever been documented on project lands. Development of the Mine will permanently impact 896.7 acres all of which is located in the Secondary Zone. The FWS has established panther Habitat Suitability Values (HSVs) for various types of habitats with scores (values) ranging from 0 (no value) to 9.5 (optimal value). When the acreage of a given habitat type (polygon) is multiplied by this habitat's HSV, the result is termed the Panther Habitat Unit value or PHU value. Based on the existing habitat types present, the total PHU value of the land encompassed by the proposed mine expansion property boundary is 422 Secondary zone or 291 Primary zone equivalent habitat units. Utilizing the 1.98 base ratio multiplier, the PHU requirement to off -set the proposed impacts associated with the expansion is 577 PHUs. Wetland mitigation credits purchased from the mitigation bank have associated PHU credits. Each wetland credit from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank expansion has 34.8 PHUs associated with it. The project will be purchasing 2.71 wetland credits which will also account for 94.31 Page 20 of 36 Page 975 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 PHUs. The applicant currently anticipates that the mitigation needed to compensate for the proposed panther habitat impacts will be achieved through preservation and management of off -site lands located within the Primary Zone panther habitat conservation overlay. The original review and authorization of this project preserved 764.1 acres of off -site lands which provided 6,628 PHUs. All of these off -site lands used for the project's panther mitigation program are lands that are currently owned by the owner of the Mine property. The FWS has previously approved this approach to mitigating development impacts to potential panther habitats for the original permitting on this project. There is still a value of 4,156 PHUs associated with the off -site preserve lands which could be used to offset the remaining PHU requirement for the proposed expansion of the mine footprint. The applicant will enter into consultation with the FWS to address the Mine project's expansion impacts to Florida panthers and their potential habitats. The specifics of the location of the off -site lands to be preserved and protected as part of the project's panther mitigation program have been provided by the applicant as part of the previous permitting process. The applicant will ensure that the compensation value of these off -site lands combined with the compensation value of the on -site Preserve will be at least equal to if not greater than the current PHU value of Mine lands proposed for development (e.g. PHU value of off -site lands plus wetland mitigation purchase will be equal to or greater than the PHU value of the area to be developed multiplied by the requisite base ratio and applicable landscape compensation multipliers). Any other measures deemed necessary by the FWS to ensure adequate protection of panthers will also be addressed by the applicant during the Section 7 consultation process during which time the applicant will also coordinate panther issues with the FWC. Given this approach, it is anticipated that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, the Florida panther. Crested Caracaras (Caracara cheriwat� Intensive surveys of the project lands found no caracara nests on the project lands. Caracara foraging was observed on the project site in the fallow agricultural fields. Caracaras were also regularly seen consuming road -kill along SR 82 in close proximity to the project site. Several cabbage palm trees were removed in 2019 following the issuance of the Biological Opinion for the original mine footprint. It appears that caracaras do not nest on these lands but that they do occasionally use these lands for hunting/foraging purposes. The listed species survey conducted by ecologists working on the SR 82 roadway expansion in 2016 opined that a caracara nest may be present on project lands No nest was observed but repeated flights by a pair of caracaras were observed that would lead to the possibility that nesting was occurring in that area. Subsequent caracara nesting surveys determined that a caracara nest may be present on lands to the east of the project site. No nest was observed but repeated flights by a pair of caracaras were observed that would lead to the possibility that nesting was occurring in that direction. Publications by the FWS and FWC (ref: FWS. 2002. Habitat management guidelines for Audubon's crested caracara in central and southern Florida; FWC. 2001. Recommended management practices and survey protocol's for Audubon's crested caracara in Florida; FWS. 2002. Draft standard local operating procedures for endangered species (SLOPES) for Audubon's crested caracara) recommend buffer zones to be established around active nests. If a nest is located on or adjacent to the project site appropriate buffers will be established to ensure that the proposed work will not adversely affect the nest. Considering this along with the results of the listed species surveys conducted on -site (no nests, relatively few observations of foraging/hunting, limited suitable habitat), proposed development Page 21 of 36 Page 976 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 activities on the actual Mine property should not directly impact caracaras (not likely to adversely affect). It may also be concluded that while the existing mine will not adversely affect caracaras (per the FWS BO for the project), the proposed expansion may increase effects to caracaras. The determination of whether these additional impacts will adversely affect caracaras or whether they will have only minimal effects on this species (i.e. may affect, not likely to adversely affect) will be coordinated with FWS and FWC during the permitting process to determine appropriate measures that can be taken to help ensure the proposed project will not adversely affect caracaras (ex. protection plans, monitoring plans, and measures to minimize or mitigate potential impacts). The listed species protection plan proposed (Appendix C) prescribes surveying on -site for caracara nests prior to initiation of Mine construction activities to help ensure no caracara nests have been established on the project lands subsequent to the listed species surveys already conducted. Surveys for caracara nests located on or immediately off -site in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property will also be conducted throughout the life of the mine. The protection plan further includes various activities to be conducted during the operational life of the Mine to help minimize potential secondary impacts to caracaras. These proposed activities are subject to change and will be finalized based on input and guidance received from FWS during their evaluation of the project. Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia) No burrowing owls or owl burrows have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. It is possible that owls might establish on -site burrows in the future either prior to initial mine construction activities or afterward in areas of the property where Mine development/excavation had not yet expanded into though the likelihood of this occurring is minimal at best. The listed species management plan includes measures to locate and protect any on -site owl burrows during the operational life of the Mine. Thus, the proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to burrowing owls. The listed species protection program also incorporates measures to protect off -site owl burrows from Mine blasting activities should new burrows be established in close proximity to Mine blasting areas. After blasting activities begin, it is assumed burrowing owls will avoid establishing burrows in off -site areas where they consider the effects of blasting (noise, ground vibration) to be potentially harmful or disruptive. Potential secondary impacts of Mine blasting activities to off -site owl burrows should not be significant given the proposed protection plan and the anticipated tendency of owls to avoid areas where blasting creates a disturbance. Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) No gopher tortoises or tortoise burrows have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. There are known tortoise burrows approximately 3/4 of a mile to the southwest and 1 mile to the northeast of the project site. There is a possibility that tortoises could move onto the site or establish burrows closer to the Mine between now and the completion of the excavation activities. The listed species management plan includes measures to periodically survey the site to locate and protect any on -site tortoises during the operational life of the Mine. The listed species protection program also incorporates measures to protect off -site tortoises from Mine activities should new burrows be established in close proximity to Mine. Thus, the proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to gopher tortoises. Page 22 of 36 Page 977 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 3.6 PROJECT IMPACTS TO ARCHAEOLOGICAL/HISTORICAL RESOURCES As part of the earlier permitting efforts, a letter was submitted to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (DHR) requesting DHR to examine the Florida Master Site File for any previously recorded archaeological/historical resources documented on the project lands. DHR responded in a letter dated 9/25/08 that the Florida Master Site File listed no previously recorded cultural resources on the subject property. A Cultural Resources Survey of the site was conducted in 2016 which did not find any evidence of cultural or archaeological resources on the property. A copy of the Survey is provided as Appendix F. The Collier County Long Range Planning Department's "Index Map of Historical/Archaeological Probability of Collier County, Florida", published on 5/5/01 was also reviewed. These maps did not show any historic structures, archaeological sites, or historic districts on the project lands. Based on a review of historic aerial photos, this area has existed essentially in the same condition as it is today for at least the past 30 years or more. Given the above, it does not appear that proposed expansion of the Immokalee Sand Mine mining footprint will impact any historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places or otherwise of historical, architectural, or archaeological value. If a suspected archaeological or historical artifact is discovered during the course of site development activities (construction, mining, clearing, etc.), the development activities at the specific site will be immediately halted and the appropriate agency notified. Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to enable the County or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action. Page 23 of 36 Page 978 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 4. AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION OF WETLAND AND LISTED SPECIES IMPACTS The geology in southwest Florida is highly inconsistent from one site to another. Tamiami Limestone is shown in regional geology data to be the predominant geological formation in the area, but that formation is not a viable source of natural sand and gravel. The applicant been searching for a viable deposit of sand and gravel (fine aggregate) when they discovered this deposit. The applicant was involved in a search for rock aggregate in which they investigated several properties. During the investigations, the sand source associated with this project was located and a mining permit application process was started to take advantage of this uncommon deposit. The Stewart Mine to the south across SR 82 also produces similar sand products and has been in operation for several years. The next closest source of sand to the SW Florida market is in Ortona, which is about 35 miles away by truck. Permits were issued for this property by all appropriate agencies and the mining operation was initiated in late 2019. In order for a deposit to be deemed viable, the following requirements had to be met: location in southwest Florida near the Naples/Bonita Springs/Ft. Myers area (e.g. near existing manufacturing facilities in Naples, Bonita Springs, and lmmokalee plus located in a region of the state where there is a high demand for this type of aggregate); deposits present must be capable of yielding FDOT-quality construction aggregates; deposits must be sufficient in volume/extent and must be sufficiently shallow to make mining operation economically viable. One of the more difficult requirements to satisfy is typically locating deposits that can meet FDOT quality standards. The general requirements for fine aggregate to meet these standards are (from FDOT Standards for Road and Bridge Construction Section 902): - Fine aggregate shall consist of natural silica sand, screenings, local materials, or other inert materials with similar characteristics, having hard, strong, durable particles, conforming to the specific requirements of this Section 902. - All fine aggregate shall be reasonably free of lumps of clay, soft or flaky particles, salt, alkali, organic matter, loam or other extraneous substances. The weight of deleterious substances shall not exceed the following percentages: oShale...................................................................................1.0 o Coal and lignite................................................................1.0 o Cinders and clinkers........................................................0.5 oClay Lumps.......................................................................1.0 - Silica sand shall be composed only of naturally occurring hard, strong, durable, uncoated grains of quartz, reasonably graded from coarse to fine, meeting the following requirements, in percent total weight. Sieve Opening Size Percent Retained Percent Passing No. 4 0 to 5 95 to 100 No. 8 0 to 15 85 to 100 No.16 3 to 35 65 to 97 No. 30 30 to 75 25 to 70 No. 50 65 to 95 5 to 35 No. 100 93 to 100 0 to 7 No. 200 minimum 96 maximum 4 Silica sand from any one source, having a variation in Fineness Modulus greater than 0.20 either way from the Fineness Modulus of target gradations established by the producer, may be rejected. Page 24 of 36 Page 979 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 Silica sand shall be subject to the colorimetric test for organic impurities. If the color produced is darker than the standard solution, the aggregate shall be rejected unless it can be shown by appropriate tests that the impurities causing the color are not of a type that would be detrimental to Portland Cement Concrete. Such tests shall be in accordance with AASHTO T21 and AASHTO T71. When tested for the effect of organic impurities on strength of mortar, the strength ratio at seven and 28 days, calculated in accordance with Section 11 of AASHTO T71, shall not be less than 95%. Extensive testing was done at multiple sites throughout the area but were not considered viable due to the lack of sand deposits meeting the above criteria. Only the proposed Immokalee Sand Mine area contained sufficient quantities of sand where the deposits were capable of yielding FDOT-quality fine aggregate. Initially, the boundary of the area to be mined covered the entire project area but was reduced due to a potential wildlife corridor that was considered along the north boundary of the site. This potential corridor was eliminated from consideration when wildlife agencies located the corridor further north and west of the project site. Since the corridor is no longer proposed by the wildlife agencies, the mine footprint is being expanded in order to be able to excavate this valuable resource. During the construction and mining process, appropriate construction best management practices will be employed to help protect water quality and minimize the discharge of sediments and/or turbid water from the project site. The specific erosion/sediment/turbidity control methods and devices used will generally conform to applicable standards and criteria set forth in the "FDER Florida Development Manual," Sections 6-301 through 6-500 (FDER. 1988. "The Florida Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management," Chapter 6: "Storm Water and Erosion Control Best Management Practices for Developing Areas; Guidelines for Using Erosion and Sediment Control Practices," ES BMP 1.01-1.67. FDER, Tallahassee, FL.). Impacts to various listed wading birds and alligators that may periodically visit the project site (for foraging or other activities) along with impacts to resident alligators will be minimized by taking appropriate protection measures during project construction and operations activities. Following completion of the proposed mining activities, it is presently estimated that the lake formed on -site by the excavation will occupy approximately 680 acres. Mine reclamation activities will include planting lake shorelines with a variety of native littoral zone species in accordance with mine reclamation requirements specified in Chapter 62C-36, Florida Administrative Code. These post -reclamation mine lakes will provide desirable habitats for listed wading bird foraging and for alligators, thereby helping offset the project's proposed impacts to habitats currently utilized by these species. Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation overlays encompass the Mine property as discussed in Appendix B, although Florida panthers have not been documented on project lands. Development of the Mine will impact these panther habitat conservation zones. Even though the affected areas currently have limited panther habitat value, it is anticipated that the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will require mitigation for the proposed impacts to the same extent as they required compensation for the currently permitted footprint. The necessary mitigation for the project's impacts to panther habitats and the specifics of the mitigation will be determined as part of the consultation with FWS. It is proposed that mitigation will take the form of protecting and managing privately owned lands located within the Primary habitat zone of the Panther. This form of panther habitat mitigation has been previously Page 25 of 36 Page 980 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 approved by FWS for the current mine footprint. Mitigation for project impacts to panther habitat conservation zones could include other measures recommended by the FWS. However, it is premature to accurately predict the ultimate panther habitat mitigation program at this conceptual planning stage of the project. Page 26 of 36 Page 981 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 5. WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM The mitigation for wetland impacts will be provided through the purchase of wetland mitigation credits from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank Expansion. In addition to the credit purchase, the project will include a Collier County preserve area which will be enhanced and maintained, though no mitigation credit is associated with it. The wetland enhancement program involves enhancement of preserved wetlands and uplands, and the maintenance, management, and protection of these areas. This section describes key components of the wetland enhancement program. 5.1 ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITIES (TYPES) Wet Prairie - (Map FLUCFCS Code 643) This existing wetland occurs in a disturbed area in the southwest corner of the property. Plant cover is variable and mainly consists of native herbaceous wetland species and a few woody exotic and nuisance species. Eradication of the exotic and nuisance species using non - mechanized methods will be undertaken but no other enhancement activities are proposed. Presently the area is occasionally mown during the dry season. It is desirable to retain this area in its existing state due to its value for wading birds. Mowing activities will be suspended unless necessary for the road right-of-way maintenance or to control colonization by large woody species. This area will be separated from the mining operations and maintained in its existing condition. It is not included in the preserve areas due to its isolation from other natural areas and its unknown future pending potential improvements or widening of State Road 82. Some supplemental planting may be done if exotic eradication efforts create barren areas too large to quickly re -colonize. Potential supplemental plantings could include the following; Sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) Maidencane (Panicum virgatum) Cordgrasses (Spartina spp.) Spike Rushes (Eleocharis spp.) St. Johns Wort (Hypericum spp.) Spiderlily (Hymenocallis palmeri) Swamplily (Crinum americanum) Yellow -eyed Grass (Xeric ambigua) Whitetop Sedge (Dichromena colorata) 5.2 ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS OF ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM In addition to the above, the wetland enhancement program will have several other facets. These are discussed in the following paragraphs. Hydrologic Enhancement: Historically the water table in row crop fields adjacent to the preserve area was managed (i.e. fields are de -watered) by pumping water in to or out of field rim ditches and lateral ditches. This water is discharged via throw out pumps around these wetlands. This practice severely disrupts the normal wetland hydroperiod. Once the mining operations are under way, agricultural pumping of water into wetlands will be permanently ceased. This will help restore stable hydroperiods that are more typical of natural wetland conditions, prevent artificial over - inundation or drawdown of wetlands, and improve water quality. Page 27 of 36 Page 982 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 Protection of Wetlands and Uplands via Conservation Easements: The preserve area will be placed under appropriate conservation easements which will protect the future integrity of the enhanced wetlands and uplands encompassed by the conservation area. The easements will ensure that the preserve area are preserved and protected in perpetuity. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Maintenance Eradication of Exotic and Nuisance Plants: The preserve area will be maintained in perpetuity to ensure that the areas are free from exotic/invasive plant species immediately following maintenance events and such that exotic and nuisance plane species will be kept out of the preserve area. Exotic invasive plant species will include Category I and Category II species identified in the current "Invasive Plant List" published by the Florida Exotic Pest Plan Council (FLEPPC) as well as Class I and Class II Prohibited Aquatic Plants listed in Chapter 62C-52.011, Florida Administrative Code. Nuisance plant species will include native plant species deemed detrimental due to their potential adverse competition with desirable native species. Visual inspection for exotic, non-native and nuisance plant invasion will be conducted annually and all exotic, non-native and nuisance vegetation including those defined by County codes and the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, found within the preserve areas will be flagged, mapped and reported for treatment. Felled material will be removed from the preserve areas where possible or killed in place where removal would cause extreme damage to the surrounding native areas. Any stumps remaining after the exotic, non-native and nuisance removal will be treated with a U.S. EPA approved herbicide and visible tracer dye to prevent regeneration from the roots. These maintenance activities will be performed in perpetuity as needed. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Removal of Cattle and Fencing: All of the Preserve area is currently protected from grazing by cattle. Much of the on -site Preserve was occasionally managed for rangeland grazing via measures such as brush -hogging. Cattle are no longer allowed to graze within the conservation area and rangeland management practices have been discontinued. This has increased the growth, development, and diversity of native plant assemblages by removing the grazing and management pressures. Wetland and Upland Preserve Delineation: The preserves is clearly delineated with appropriate signage and will not be impacted by the currently proposed expansion. Page 28 of 36 Page 983 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 6. WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM SUCCESS CRITERIA Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, meeting on -site success criteria is not applicable or relevant to this proposal. Page 29 of 36 Page 984 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 7. WETLAND MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, Onsite monitoring of wetland preserves will not be required. Page 30 of 36 Page 985 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 8. PRESERVE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, the management of the preserve area will be more to keep it consistent and compliant with Collier County regulations. The wetland will not be impacted as a minimization measure for the FDEP and USACE permitting. The Immokalee Sand Mine preserve area will be maintained to suppress infestation by exotic/invasive and nuisance plant species. Maintenance/management actions will be conducted as required to keep the area free from exotic or nuisance species. This area will be maintained in perpetuity such that exotic and nuisance plant infestations do not exceed the maximum allowed by the Collier County Land Development Code. After initial eradication efforts are complete, follow-up exotic and nuisance plant control will include directed herbicide applications and/or physical removal methods throughout all portions of the preserve area. Exotic/nuisance plant control is likely to occur on an annual basis for at least the first three years following completion of initial eradication efforts. Such maintenance events may be conducted more frequently if field observations indicate the need. At the end of this period, the frequency of activities necessary to adequately control nuisance and exotic plants will be re -assessed and a program developed for future maintenance. Follow-up plantings of previously planted areas will be conducted as necessary when and where survivorship, density, and/or percent cover goals are not achieved. The need for such re - plantings will typically be assessed on an annual basis. Management/maintenance activities may include removal of dead, dying, or diseased plants (both planted and existing plants) as deemed necessary. A qualified biologist or similar environmental professional will inspect the preserve area at least once a year. During the first few years, inspections will likely occur more frequently in an effort to rectify any potential problem situations (e.g., exotic/nuisance plant infestations, mortality of planted species, etc.) before they worsen. The necessary maintenance activities will be determined by the biologist during these inspections. The maintenance will be conducted during the course of the year following issuance of the biologist's recommendations. Page 31 of 36 Page 986 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 9. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, the financial component of the mitigation requirement will be met prior to any impacts occurring to the wetlands within the project footprint. Page 32 of 36 Page 987 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 10. BASIS OF WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM AS ADEQUATE COMPENSATION FOR PROPOSED WETLAND IMPACTS Section 230.10(a) of the 404(b)(1) Guidelines states that no discharge of dredge and/or fill material (into waters of the United Sates, including wetlands) shall be permitted if there is a practicable alternative to the proposed discharge which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic environment, provided the alternative does not have other significant adverse environmental consequences. This regulation further states that for non -water dependent projects, practicable alternatives that do not involve special aquatic sites are presumed to be available. Practicable alternatives are those that are "available and capable of being done after taking into consideration cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of the overall project purposes." The applicant has investigated the availability and feasibility of practicable alternative locations other than the proposed expansion of this existing sand mine under the pending application. While the applicant has examined other locations, it is necessary to consider the investments in the Immokalee Sand Mine and the costs and logistics of obtaining sand from other locations. As noted in the Corps Regulatory Guidance on analysis under the 404(b)(1) Guidelines, the "characteristics of the project and what constitutes a reasonable expense for these projects [are what] are most relevant to practicability determinations." The applicant's needs must be considered in the context of the desired geographic area of the development, and the type of project being proposed. Indeed, RGL 93-2 provides that "[s]ome projects may be so site -specific ... that no offsite alternative could be practicable. In such cases the alternative analysis may appropriately be limited to onsite options only." Furthermore, RGL 93-2 notes that a "reasonable, common sense approach" ought to be followed in applying the requirements of the Guidelines. When dealing with mineral extraction proposals, the Corps has given considerable deference to an applicant's overall project purpose that involves mineral extraction from a specified geographic location. Additionally, the courts have not required exhaustive analysis of off -site alternatives where the costs and logistics of such alternatives are patently more costly than the applicant's preferred alternative. Here, the overall project purpose is to continue to excavate large quantities of affordable, high - quality, construction -grade sand from this existing mine. A critical consideration of the practicability of alternatives is that Immokalee Sand LLC be able to continue to use the mining - related facilities that already have been built or are planned, and the fact that high -quality, sand deposits are found in limited locations. In turn, these operations currently provide sand to a specific market in a cost-effective manner. Hence, this analysis considers the necessity of continuing to provide a source of sand for those facilities and customers that are already linked to the existing operations in this area. The proposed permit modification is requested for the purpose of allowing Immokalee Sand LLC to continue their existing operations. High quality sand is a critical state resource that is required as a component of a variety of construction materials. The sand is an integral component of concrete and other building materials required for the completion of public projects, including schools, hospitals and roads, many environmental enhancements projects as well as private developments, supporting valuable growth of the community. Factors affecting the location of a sand mine include: quality of sand reserves; total volume of sand reserves, including surface area available for mining and the depth of the sand deposits; availability of property for acquisition; and land use and other governmental restrictions, including local opposition to mining, and other factors that would limit the right of companies to excavate sand at a given location. Page 33 of 36 Page 988 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 Consequently, opening a new mine or expanding an existing facility can take decades to plan and permit. The quality of sand, where it exists, varies from region to region. There are many locations throughout the county and state where high quality deposits are non-existent. Transportation costs dictate that a regional supply of affordable sand is critical to affordable public infrastructure. Transportation costs are a significant portion of the overall cost of aggregate materials because sand and the products produced from it are extremely heavy and expensive to transport. Thus, the further away a mine is from the markets it serves, the higher the transportation costs, and the higher the ultimate cost of the product. The current operations sit over an approximately 60 feet deep layer of high quality sand and the proposed expansion area has been found to also contain this same thickness of the resource. The location of the expansion area has inherent value in that it is directly adjacent to an existing processing facility. With this expansion, Immokalee Sand LLC will be able to use the plants, equipment and infrastructure developed and constructed at significant costs. Mining anywhere else will be more costly and less efficient due to lower yields, increased acreage impacts, and the inability to achieve economies of scale. This location will ultimately assist in reducing the environmental impact and additional cost of transporting unprocessed material from remote locations to the plant facility. If the project is not undertaken in its current location, transportation costs and impacts will be higher. The reduction of vehicle travel will ultimately assist in reducing the carbon footprint of the facility. The proposed mining expansion area is considered a part of the Immokalee Sand Mine and are included within the existing owned property. In addition, as mentioned above, expansion area is located directly adjacent to the existing mining and processing facilities within which the sand will be processed. Alternative sites would need to have the upland portions currently zoned for mining use and be directly adjacent to an existing in -operation processing plant facility that could be used to process the sand, thereby minimizing additional accesses onto public roadways and lessening the carbon footprint of the operation in reduced hauling. The only site meeting these requirements of equivalence is the nearby Stewart mine which is under current ownership of a competing mining company and is not available for purchase. The next level of research of alternate sites is for land areas directly adjacent to the existing mining operation which would provide access to sand that could be processed at the existing facilities. The areas to the north and west of the mine are currently in citrus grove production and are not available for mining. The area to the east of the existing mine contains a higher percentage of wetland areas. This land is not available for purchase for mining. State Road 82 lies to the south of the project site and would be a barrier to transport mined material across that busy highway to the processing plant. The following points summarize the alternative site assessment effort: • The sand resource is only located in a few locations within the area. There simply are not any other parcels with less wetlands having high quality sand available at adequate depth. The fact that the proposed area of mining provides a higher yield per acre means that the overall footprint of the mining is smaller than it would be at other locations. Overall, this means that this expansion uses less land than other areas, and therefore has less environmental impacts. • The expansion area is located directly adjacent to a processing facility so is unique and no other parcel in the area has this capability. The reduced travel distance will be an asset to Page 34 of 36 Page 989 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT JANUARY 2025 the environment in reducing the ultimate carbon footprint of the operation. Utilizing other sites within the area would create the need for an additional processing plant which would add to the mining area footprint and lands needed for disturbance. • The mine site is located directly adjacent to SR 82 which is a major roadway corridor providing access to Collier, Lee, and Hendry Counties. • Finally, the subject site is located directly adjacent to the existing processing facility. Research of alternative sites equivalent to the expansion area reveals that no equivalent sites are available for mining by Immokalee Sand. After working through the alternatives, avoidance, and minimization criteria, any wetland impacts that cannot be avoided must be mitigated for. The following wetland mitigation is proposed to compensate for the unavoidable impacts. The wetland mitigation program proposed involves purchase of wetland mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank.. As demonstrated through UMAM calculations/analyses, it is anticipated that this mitigation program will compensate for the project's proposed wetland impacts. A.

CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ANALYSIS Development of the Immokalee Sand Mine expansion area will necessitate impacts to two on - site wetlands that, together, total 6.6 acres. These wetlands are isolated and substantially degraded, with UMAM scores ranging from a low of 0.27 to a high of 0.43. The proposed mitigation credit purchase will compensate for these proposed impacts. In addition, the on -site wetland enhancement program will also improve the functional value of wetland and upland habitats located in the preserve area though this improvement is not being applied towards the project's mitigation requirements. The wetlands to be impacted are all located within the West Collier watershed (drainage basin). Since the proposed wetland impacts will be fully compensated by mitigation banks credits from a bank located in the same drainage basin as the impacts, there should be no adverse cumulative impacts upon wetlands and other surface waters within the drainage basin. The proposed project should not adversely affect the quality of receiving waters located in the drainage basin. Appropriate best management practices employed during project construction and operation will ensure protection of off -site water quality. The project's stormwater management system has been designed to provide water quality treatment and attenuation that meets applicable design standards/criteria. Because of this, discharges from the project's lake following mine reclamation should also not adversely impact water quality in off -site wetlands or OSWs. All the wetlands proposed for impacts are completely isolated, being surrounded by active agricultural operations. This factor, coupled with the disturbed and degraded characteristics of these wetlands and their small size, prevents the wetlands from having any appreciable current contributions to the water resources in the overall drainage basin. The Western Collier drainage basin is extensive and contains several areas where future development is either already permitted or is anticipated. It is assumed that other development projects in the basin seeking to impact wetlands similar to those on the Mine property will typically provide mitigation for these impacts in the same basin. It can also be reasonably assumed that this mitigation will fully compensate for the wetland functions lost via proposed impacts and that the projects will adequately protect regional water quality, otherwise the projects would not receive necessary permits. The impacts of these other projects combined with those of the Mine project should therefore not cause unacceptable cumulative impacts upon wetlands and OSWs in the Western Collier watershed.

Page 996 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE: APPENDIX B LISTED SPECIES UPDATE SUMMARY Prepared by: TURRELL, HALL & ASSOCIATES, INC. Marine & EnvironmentaI Consulting January 2025 Page 997 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update Page 11 1. INTRODUCTION This Immokalee Sand Mine encompasses approximately 896.7 acres located about 1 mile west of the intersection of Hwy 29 and State Road 82. These lands cover portions of Sections 6 and 7, Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Collier County, Florida. State (MMR_297420-009) and Federal {SAJ-2009-03476 (SP-WDD)) permits have been issued for this mine. Construction on the infrastructure and access roadway began in late 2019. To date, approximately 360 acres of the site has been converted from agricultural to mining operations. A requirement of the State permit is to provide a listed species survey update with the annual monitoring report. CEMEX contracted Turrell, Hall, & Associates, Inc. to perform pre -construction surveys over the areas associated with the access road from SR82 into the mine site as well as the on - site work areas. This report summarizes the results of Turrell, Hall, & Associates' listed species survey efforts. 2. EXISTING VEGETATION ASSOCIATIONS, LAND FORMS, AND LAND USES (FLUCFCS) 2.1 METHODOLOGY Vegetation associations, land forms, and land uses (FLUCFCS categories) present on and near the project site were mapped using direct field observations, interpretation of aerial photographs, and GPS mapping. Field observations were conducted primarily during the period from July through October 2008 and then updated in May and June 2015, December 2019 and January 2020, and November and December 2024 and January 2025. These observations included both pedestrian and ATV transects across the lands recording vegetation community characteristics as well as recording location points along the boundaries of certain communities/land forms using handheld GPS units. The FLUCFCS designations identified in 2015 were still consistent with current conditions The methods and class descriptions found in the Florida Land Use, Cover, and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS) manual (FDOT, 1999) were generally followed when delineating areas and assigning areas to an appropriate FLUCFCS category or "code". Level III classifications were generally employed. Certain modifications were made to the FLUCFCS class definitions presented in this manual in order to better describe and differentiate both plant communities and land uses. For simplicity purposes all drainage ditches and water retention areas are given a FLUCFCS code of other surface waters (OSW). 2.2 MAJOR FLUCFCS CATEGORIES Figure 2 of the Environmental exhibits illustrates detailed FLUCFCS map units present on the project lands and on immediately adjacent lands. Table 1 lists each of the FLUCFCS map unit codes present on the Mine property and total acreage encompassed by each FLUCFCS type.

LISTED SPECIES SURVEYS Wildlife and listed species surveys were conducted by Turrell, Hall, & Associates on the project lands. As used herein, the term "listed animal species" refers to those animals listed as endangered or threatened by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) or the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) as well as those animal species listed as species of special concern by the FWC. Several animal species listed by FWC are also classified (listed) by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) as wetland dependent species. Turrell, Hall, & Associates' wildlife/listed species surveys were supplemented by research concerning listed species. The following subsections document the effort and results of only the most recent survey over the project area. 3.1 DATABASE RESEARCH Prior to field investigations, color, false -color infrared, and black and white aerial photos, soils maps, and prior FLUCFCS mapping for the Mine property were reviewed to identify the various vegetation associations potentially present on and adjacent to project lands. Various publications and databases were reviewed to determine listed plant and wildlife species which could occur and those that had been previously documented on or near the project lands as well as to gather information concerning listed species. Based on the habitat types identified, existing knowledge of the project area, contacts with other consultants, and review of publications and databases, a preliminary list of animal species with the potential to occur within or near the project lands was determined. 3.2 FIELD BIOTIC SURVEY METHODOLOGY This most recent wildlife survey effort was conducted by Turrell, Hall, & Associates in November and December of 2024 and January 2025. Ongoing surveys are still underway to look for potential Caracara nesting on or near the project area. Surveys were conducted such that observations included time Page 999 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update P a g e 13 periods that covered both sunrise and sunset. Barring seasonal considerations, the survey dates allowed for observations during likely times of probable occurrence for the majority of the listed animal species which could occur on or immediately adjacent to the project lands. The field surveys consisted of ecologists walking in relatively straight and meandering transects through the various habitats found on the project lands. Space between transects usually varied, depending on type of habitat, visibility limits, and density of vegetation. Some observations were made from field vehicles driving slowly through open areas such as the interiors of active pasture fields. Observers were equipped with compass, aerials, wildlife and plant identification books and notes, binoculars, field notebooks, handheld GPS units, and cameras. Along the transects, the biologists periodically stopped, looked for wildlife and signs of wildlife, including tracks, and listened for wildlife vocalizations. The approximate location of observed listed wildlife and their numbers were mapped on aerials and recorded in field notebooks on a daily basis as were signs of listed wildlife species that were noted. In the same fashion, observed non -listed wildlife species encountered or signs of such species were recorded daily and photographs were taken when possible. When performing pedestrian transects through appropriate habitats, particular consideration was given to looking for signs of gopher tortoises and crested caracaras. Potentially suitable gopher tortoise habitats were surveyed for gopher tortoise tracks, scat, burrows, and individuals. These efforts included examining berms associated with the Mine property's fields (e.g. perimeter berms, larger berms along drainage ditches, etc.) and pasture areas as well as the more natural upland habitats present. Any cabbage palms and larger shrubs near the palms were examined for caracara nests. The field survey methodologies utilized on the project lands were generally consistent with those prescribed by the FWC. q A RFCI II TC 3.4.1 Research Results The review conducted of the various existing databases concerning documented listed species revealed only the caracara nesting documented by FDOT biologists in 2015. No other records of any listed animal species were documented on the project lands. Turrell, Hall, & Associates' review of these existing databases included searching records for documented listed species occurring within approximately 10,000 feet of the Mine property boundary. Listed animal species previously documented outside the project lands but within 10,000 feet of the Mine property included listed wading birds, caracaras, and Florida panther. Four wood stork colonies were also previously documented off -site in the query area. According to FWS a major reason for the wood stork decline has been the loss and degradation of feeding habitat and approximates their core foraging area to be an 18.6 mile radius around the rookery. Databases show four wood stork foraging areas which overlap the project lands. 3.4.2 Listed Animal Species Observed on the Immokalee Sand Mine Property Several different animal species, including some listed species, were observed during the course of Page 1000 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update P a g e 14 Turrell, Hall, & Associates' wildlife/listed species surveys. Table 2 provides a listing of all the wildlife species observed on the Immokalee Sand Mine property during the course of these surveys. The following subsections briefly address the listed animal species observed onsite (i.e. within the Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary) and in the nearby areas. American Alligator Several American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) were observed on the property on multiple occasions. Alligators were observed within the main agricultural drainage ditches, specifically in the wider ditches in the northeastern portion of the property as well as in the small pond located adjacent to the access roadway. Most alligators observed were juveniles, however a couple of larger adults were also seen. It is likely that some alligators reside on -site throughout the majority of the year whereas others may typically reside in off -site wetlands, migrating to the Mine ditches and deeper wetlands when water levels decline in the off -site wetlands. Alligators are expected to move into the larger lake areas once the excavation activities are under way. They will not be impacted by the upcoming road access work. Crested Caracara Both the FWC and the FWS classify the crested caracara (Caracara cheriway) as a threatened species. Crested caracaras were observed on almost every site visit during the course of the survey. Caracaras were observed on or flying over the project lands during Turrell, Hall, & Associates' surveys. Subsequent survey of potential caracara habitats situated on the Mine property during the breeding season was conducted and no evidence of any caracara nesting was observed. Caracara nesting surveys have been conducted in 2009/10, 2013/14, 2016/17, 2018/19, 2019/20, and is currently underway for the 2024/25 season. No nesting was observed on the project site during any of these surveys. As outlined in the FWS BO, the cabbage palms at the front of the property were removed after the 2016/17 survey to ensure that nesting would not occur on the project lands prior to the start of the mining efforts. Also, in accordance with the FWS BO, a donation to the FWS caracara fund was made following the permit issuance as mitigation for potential impacts that might occur to caracaras as a result of the mining efforts. Considering the documented presence of these birds near the project, it is likely that several caracaras frequently hunt and forage in various habitats on the Mine property (e.g. row crop fields, pastures, edges of drainage ditches, etc.). It is also possible that caracaras may sometimes forage within the open wetland and upland habitats present within off -site areas similar to those found on -site. Based on the results of Turrell, Hall, & Associates' survey, it is clear that caracaras presently do not use any project lands for nesting purposes and nesting activities will not be adversely impacted by the mining operations. Little Blue Heron Little blue herons (Egretta caerulea) were observed on -site on two different occasions. One of these sightings involved a solitary heron foraging in the agricultural drainage ditches on the west boundary of the property. On the other occasion, a little blue heron was observed foraging along the shoreline of the Page 1001 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update P a g e 15 small pond in the northeast portion of the property. No little blue heron nests were observed in any wetland areas nor were there signs of any past nesting activities by any wading birds. The little blue heron is an opportunistic feeder and travels long distances to find good feeding conditions, going where conditions are favorable, and food is potentially abundant. This is also the case with the other listed wading birds discussed below (i.e. snowy egret and tricolored heron). It is highly unlikely that these species ever nest within the on -site wetlands considering the proximity of the adjacent agricultural operations and the inappropriate habitat types present in some of the on -site wetlands. The observed listed wading birds certainly utilize the Mine property and portions of the on -site wetland areas for feeding purposes and occasionally roosting, but these species are not permanent residents. Snowy Egret Only one snowy egret (Egretta thula) was observed foraging within one of the pond areas on the Mine property. No snowy egret nests or signs of nesting were observed on -site or in the adjacent areas. Tricolored Heron Numerous tricolored herons (Egretta tricolor) were observed on different occasions foraging within the main agricultural drainage ditches on the Mine property and other wetland areas. One was observed foraging along the bank of the small pond that is adjacent to the access roadway. No tricolored heron nests or signs of nesting were observed on -site or in the adjacent areas. White Ibis The white ibis (Eudocimus albus) may sometimes forage in the Mine property's agricultural drainage ditches and some of the on -site wetlands when water levels are appropriate. Indications are that wetland areas mapped as 640 are rarely inundated for significant periods thereby reducing foraging potential in this wetland. However, ibis may forage inundated areas as well as pasture settings and even row crop fields, particularly when these fields are tilled. No signs of white ibis nests, wading bird rookeries, or fairly permanent roosting sites were found on the project lands. No ibis will be impacted by the access road construction. Florida Sandhill Crane There are two subspecies of sandhill cranes that can regularly be observed in Florida. These are the Florida sandhill crane (Grus canadensis pratensis) and the Eastern greater sandhill crane (Grus c. tabida), which arrives in Florida in October and begins spring migration in February. The two subspecies cannot be distinguished from each other in the field, however, sandhill cranes observed in Florida during May through September can be assumed to be the Florida sandhill crane. The Florida sandhill crane is listed by the FWC as a threatened species and as a wetland dependent species by SFWMD. The greater sandhill crane is not listed. Given the time of year when Turrell, Hall, & Associates performed biotic surveys for this project, it was assumed, but not confirmed, that the two sandhill cranes observed during the surveys were the listed Florida sandhill crane. A single sandhill crane nest was observed in SW-2 on the Mine property during the 2019/20 survey effort. No nesting was observed in this most recent effort. Habitats present on -site, including the on -site Page 1002 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update P a g e 16 wetlands, are primarily not suitable for nesting. Although this species will sometimes nest in dry pastures (present on -site as FLUCFCS 211), cranes prefer nesting in open areas of standing shallow water such as wet prairies and shallow herbaceous marshes. It is deemed likely that Florida sandhill cranes visit open fields of the Mine property primarily for foraging purposes but could occasionally nest on -site. 3.4.4 Listed Animal Species Which Have the Potential to Occur On the Immokalee Sand Mine Property But Were Not Observed Although not observed on the project lands during the extensive listed species surveys, additional state and/or federally listed faunal species could potentially occur on the Mine property or on lands adjacent to the property. Based on habitats present within these areas, land uses, species observed near the project during biotic surveys, habitats present in the general area, review of various sources of information previously, and personal experience of project ecologists, assessments were made as to the probability of occurrence of other listed species on the project lands. Two species of mammals, 3 species of reptiles, 1 amphibian species, and 8 species of birds were considered to have some potential for occurring on the Mine property and/or on lands in the adjacent areas. Florida Panther Mitigation for potential impacts to panthers was provided as a component of the issued permits and FWS BO for the project. Additional mitigation will be required for the proposed expansion. As a result of the mitigation and habitat compensation, no adverse impacts to any panthers is expected. Florida Bonneted Bat No cavity trees or other potential roost sites will be impacted by the mining operations. Foraging activities can continue over the project lands. No impacts to bonneted bats is expected. Eastern Indigo Snake Mitigation for potential impacts to indigo snakes was provided as a component of the issued permits and FWS BO for the project. Additional mitigation may be required for the proposed expansion. As a result of the mitigation and habitat compensation, no adverse impacts to any indigo snakes is expected. Gopher Tortoise No gopher tortoise burrows were observed within the current project area and no impacts are expected to any tortoises as a result of the mining operations. Gopher Frog Gopher frogs (Rana capita), listed as a Species of Special Concern (SSC) by the FWC, are potential commensals with gopher tortoises. No gopher tortoises or signs of such tortoises (scat, tracks) were found within the project area so no impacts to gopher frogs are expected. Page 1003 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine —2025 Listed Species Update Page 17 Alligator Snapping Turtle Alligator Snapping Turtles (Macroclemys temmincki) are one of the largest freshwater turtles in the world. It can be distinguished by its very large head and the three prominent knobby ridges along its back. Although no snapping turtles were observed, they have the potential to inhabit drainage ditches and ponds on the project lands. It is expected that turtles within the agricultural will move into the mining lakes as the operation moves forward. Wading Birds Wading bird foraging activities will continue on the site as the mining operations continue. No nesting has been observed or documented on the project site. No impacts to wading birds is expected. 3.4.5 General Wildlife Observations During the biotic surveys conducted on the project lands, ecologists recorded sightings and signs of non - listed wildlife in addition to listed species. Table 2 contains all wildlife observed on the project lands. Signs and observations of larger mammals, such as bobcat, wild boar, and white-tailed deer, were observed in portions of the Mine property. Other mammals observed on the Mine property were armadillo, opossum, raccoon, eastern cottontail, and marsh rabbit. Observations of non -listed bird species were generally widely scattered and low in number. Although several species of non -listed birds are indicated in Table 2, the actual number of individuals and number of species observed during any given period of wildlife observations was typically low. A few of the non -migratory bird species may reside on the project lands, however no nests were observed. Observations of non -listed herpes were largely restricted to the Mine property's agricultural drainage ditches. On one occasion a ring-necked snake was seen in the mapped area 640 with a small frog in its mouth. 3.4.6 Listed Plant Species No federally listed plant species have been documented in this area of Collier County (USFWS, 2006b). No listed plant species were observed on the project lands during the course of the listed species/wildlife surveys conducted and a review of pertinent databases concerning listed plant species found no records of such plants occurring on project lands or within 10,000 feet of these lands. Considering these points, it seems highly improbable that any plant species currently listed by FWS may be present on project lands.

Signage will also be maintained during the life of the Mine operation. This material will contain: illustrations of the species discussed in the following subsections; general descriptions of these species; potential habitats in which each species may occur; as applicable, descriptions and/or illustrations of species nests/burrows/dens; general protocols and procedures to follow if a particular species or species nest/burrow/den is encountered, and; contact information for parties to be notified if a particular species or species nest/burrow/den is encountered. These pamphlets will emphasize that harming or harassing listed species as well as disturbing or damaging a listed species nest/burrow/den is strictly prohibited. ALLIGATORS Several American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) have been documented on the Immokalee Sand Mine property utilizing the larger agricultural ditches (includes ditches used for drainage and irrigation purposes) and some of the on -site wetlands. These alligators likely include individuals that frequent the property on an occasional basis and individuals that reside in appropriate habitats on a relatively permanent basis. To protect alligators during project construction and mining activities, modifications to the existing on -site drainage ditches and wetlands will be conducted mindful of the potential presence of alligators. Egress points, for alligators to move out of the area being filled or excavated, will be made available. Mine employees, contractors, and other field personnel will be notified that alligators may be present and that construction and mining activities must be conducted to minimize the potential for alligators to be harmed. Should an alligator occupying an on -site ditch or wetland that is being cleared, filled, or excavated not initially leave the area on its own accord through the established egress point(s), all activities that might harm the alligator will be ceased temporarily and will not be resumed until the alligator has departed the area. If it appears the alligator may not leave the area, a designated mine employee will contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) Nuisance Alligator Hotline (1-866-392-4286) for further direction. It may be necessary for a duly licensed nuisance alligator trapper to capture the alligator and relocate it. Captured alligators may be relocated to other areas in the general project vicinity that are under the control of the current property owner. Potential relocation areas include existing agricultural ditches far from the habitat areas slated for impacts or other suitable off -site wetlands. No more than 3 weeks prior to conducting activities that will impact on -site wetland or surface water, the area to be impacted will be inspected by a qualified environmental professional. If an active alligator nest site is found during this inspection, the FWC will be contacted by the mine operator for further guidance. No work that could harm the nest site will be conducted without authorization from FWC. The Page 1008 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 12 FWC may direct that the alligator eggs be removed and relocated by a licensed nuisance alligator trapper prior to resuming work that will impact the nest site. No disturbance of any alligator nests shall be allowed without first obtaining an appropriate permit from FWC. Typically, alligators lay their eggs in late June or early July with the eggs hatching in late August or September, however, this nesting period may vary. Should an aggressive alligator be encountered, workers should contact the FWC by phoning the Nuisance Alligator Hotline (1-866-FWC-GATOR is current number; may change over time). Mine workers are prohibited from taking any actions against alligators. LISTED WADING BIRDS Little blue herons (Egretta caerulea), snowy egrets (Egretta thula), white ibis (Eudocimus albus), and tricolored herons (Egretta tricolor) have been documented foraging in various agricultural ditches and certain wetlands on the Immokalee Sand Mine property. Other listed wading birds may also occasionally visit the on -site ditches, some of the on -site wetlands, and appropriate wetland habitats in nearby off - site areas. These species could theoretically include roseate spoonbill (Ajaja ajaja) and limpkin (Aramus guarauna). No listed wading bird nests or rookeries have been found on the Immokalee Sand Mine property or in the nearby areas. Although it is unlikely that any of the cited listed wading birds will establish nests within the on -site wetlands or in the wetlands present in the adjacent areas, this possibility cannot be completely ignored. No more than 3 weeks prior to conducting any activities that will impact a particular on -site wetland during the nesting season (i.e. clearing, excavation, filling), a qualified environmental professional will inspect the wetland for the presence of listed wading bird nests. Similarly, no more than 3 weeks prior to conducting any mitigation activities that will significantly disturb an existing wetland areas during the nesting season (i.e. grading activities, initial clearing/removal of larger Brazilian pepper shrubs and trees), a qualified environmental professional will also inspect the wetland for the presence of listed wading bird nests. If active nests are found, a buffer zone extending approximately 300 feet beyond the nests in all directions will be established. No activities that might disturb the nests or nesting activities will be conducted in the established buffer zone until after the eggs have hatched and the surviving young birds have fledged and left the nests. Field personnel will be notified of the presence of the nest site(s) and buffer zones, which will be clearly marked, and advised to that any activities near the buffer zones should be conducted to minimize the potential for disruption of nesting. WOOD STORKS Wood storks (Mycteria americana) have not been documented foraging on the Immokalee Sand Mine property, however the site does contain potential foraging area. No wood stork nests, wood stork nesting colonies, or wood stork roosting sites have been found on the Mine property or in nearby areas. The nearest known wood stork colony is situated approximately 8.5 miles east of the eastern Mine property boundary. Existing wetlands on the Mine property do not contain habitats suitable for wood stork nesting nor are these habitats suitable for establishment of long-term wood stork roosting sites. Despite the extremely low probability that storks may establish a nesting colony or important roosting Page 1009 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 13 site within the project lands sometime in the future, a wood stork protection plan will be implemented as part of the Mine project. Prior to conducting any activities that will impact a given on -site wetland and prior to conducting initial mitigation activities in wetlands areas, a qualified environmental professional will inspect the wetland for the presence of wood stork nests, for wood storks, and for signs of wood stork roosting. Similar inspections will be conducted prior to conducting mining activities within approximately 1,000 feet of these wetlands. Inspections will be performed no more than 3 weeks prior to the anticipated starting date of the activities that could affect wood stork nesting/roosting. If wood stork nests are found or if an important roosting site is documented (site that may be used annually and/or by flocks of 25 or more storks), all mine construction activities or mechanized mitigation activities (as applicable) within approximately 1,000 feet of the nest site or roosting site will be halted. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will then be contacted for guidance in developing an appropriate management plan that will help ensure adequate protection for the discovered site and the wood storks utilizing the site. Should this scenario arise, the permittee will generate an appropriate management plan in consultation with FWS, submit the plan to FWS for their review and approval, and will then implement and abide by the management plan. The mitigation activities proposed within the Preserve area will substantially improve the habitat qualities of the existing wetlands. These improvements will eventually restore certain habitats that could be used by wood storks for foraging purposes. The Immokalee Sand Mine wetland mitigation program includes conducting annual monitoring of the mitigation areas. If the first initiation of Mine blasting activities will begin 2 weeks before or during the typical wood stork nesting season (February through June), a survey for off -site wood stork nesting sites (nesting colonies) will be conducted. This survey will cover all potentially suitable wood stork nesting habitats located within approximately 1,000 feet of the Mine property boundary. It will likely consist of a combination of observations along pedestrian transects and aerial observations conducted over a period of at least 5 days with the survey focusing on times near dusk and dawn. If no nesting sites/colonies are found, blasting will commence upon completion of the survey. If an active nesting colony is located, FWS will be contacted for further guidance and an appropriate management/protection plan will be generated in consultation with FWS. The plan will be submitted to FWS for their review and approval and will subsequently be implemented. Under this scenario, initiation of the first blasting activities would not be started until appropriate authorization has been obtained from FWS. FLORIDA SANDHILL CRANES A couple Florida sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis pratensis) have been documented foraging in fields located on the Immokalee Sand Mine property. One crane nest was observed on -site during the 2020 survey update. It is doubtful that sandhill cranes will elect to establish nests on the Mine property at some point in the future but the possibility, although remote, cannot be overlooked. There will be suitable nesting habitat within the proposed preserve area. Page 1010 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 14 No longer than 3 weeks prior to conducting construction activities that will impact potentially "suitable" Florida sandhill crane nesting habitats on the Mine property (i.e. clearing, grading, excavation, filling), the areas will be inspected by a qualified environmental profession to determine if any active crane nests are present. These habitats are limited to the Preserve area and, to a lesser degree, the wet prairie area in the southwestern corner of the property. Three weeks prior to commencement of Mine construction activities, a survey will also be conducted in potentially suitable crane nesting habitats present in off -site lands located within approximately 750 feet of the Mine property boundaries immediately adjacent to the portion of the Mine that will contain the Mine operations center (i.e. containing the office buildings, asphalt batch plant, tailings pond, and aggregate processing/stockpile area). Similarly, no more than 3 weeks prior to conducting initial mitigation activities in the Preserve area that could disturb potential crane nests (i.e. grading activities, removal of larger Brazilian pepper shrubs), the wetland areas within the mitigation area will be inspected. If an active Florida sandhill crane nest is found, a buffer zone extending approximately 740 feet beyond the nest in all directions will be established. No activities that might disturb the nests or nesting activities will be conducted in the established buffer zone until after the eggs are hatched and the surviving young birds have left the nest. Field personnel will be notified of the presence of the nest site(s) and buffer zones, which will be clearly marked, and advised that any activities near the buffer zones should be conducted to minimize the potential for disruption of nesting. If the first initiation of Mine blasting activities will begin 2 weeks before or during the typical sandhill crane breeding season (beginning of January through June), a survey for off -site sandhill crane nests will be conducted. This survey will cover all potentially suitable crane nesting habitats located within approximately 2,500 feet of the limits of the area proposed for blasting. It will consist of field observations gathered along pedestrian transects conducted over a period of at least 5 days. If no active nest is found, blasting will commence upon completion of the survey. If an active nest is found within the 1,000 feet of the proposed blasting area, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will be contacted for further guidance and an appropriate management/protection plan will be generated in consultation with FWC. The plan will be submitted to FWC for their review and approval and will subsequently be implemented. Under this scenario, initiation of the first blasting activities would not be started until appropriate authorization has been obtained from FWC. Alternatively, the first blasting activities may be relocated such that they are over 1,000 feet from the active nest site and the blasting restricted to areas >1,000 feet from the nest site until such time as the young have left the active nest. CRESTED CARACARAS Many crested caracaras (Caracara cheriway) have been observed on the Mine property, however no caracara nests been found on -site. Caracaras have been observed in areas surrounding the Mine property, suggesting that potential nesting areas are nearby. There is a remote possibility that caracaras could establish an on -site nest prior to commencement of Mine construction, hence pre -clearing surveys will be performed. Page 1011 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 15 An on -site survey for caracaras and their nests will be performed during the first breeding season preceding commencement of Mine clearing/construction activities proposed in the Mine property and in nearby off -site areas. This survey will cover the existing remnant strip of cabbage palm/pine flatwoods/woodland pasture habitat that extends along the eastern boundary. Observations will be made along pedestrian transects and stationary points during the mornings and evenings (crepuscular). The survey will be conducted 6 times (on 6 different days) during the period from January through March with 4 to 7 days between each survey event. If a caracara nest is found, the nest location will be marked and the FWS will be contacted for further guidance. No Mine clearing/construction activities will commence within the primary management zone (300 meter radius surrounding nest) or the secondary management zone (1,000 meter radius surrounding nest) associated with the nest until appropriate authorization is obtained from FWS. Under this scenario, a Special Purpose Permit may also need to be acquired from FWC should FWS recommend removal (incidental take) of the nest tree during the non - nesting season. An off -site survey for caracaras and their nests will also be performed during the first breeding season preceding commencement of Mine clearing/construction activities. This survey will be performed in the same manner as the on -site survey and will cover potentially suitable caracara nesting habitats present in the immediate vicinity of the Mine and the Mine entry road (i.e. State Road 82 west of Highway 29). The exact areas that will be covered by these off -site surveys will be determined during the course of consultation with FWS which will occur during the application processing period associated with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Section 404 Permit needed for the Mine project. Measures necessary to help ensure protection of off -site nests located during this survey as well as appropriate measures to help minimize the project's potential secondary impacts to caracaras will also be determined via consultation with FWS. Some of these measures may include: • Prohibit Mine traffic from idling on that portion of the entry road (State Road 82) located within the primary management zone associated with the currently known caracara nest tree. Post "no idling / no parking" notification signs on the entry road at the limits of this primary zone. • During the initial Mine construction activities and throughout the operational life of the Mine, conduct daily roadkill surveys along those portions of the entry road and Highway 29 located within the primary and secondary management zones associated with the currently known caracara nest tree. Move any roadkill found to a distance at least 25 feet beyond the shoulder of these roads. • Monitoring of certain caracaras during the breeding season to determine how they respond to Mine traffic and mining activities. FLORIDA PANTHERS Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi) have not been documented on the project lands but have been documented in more natural habitats present in the general vicinity of the Mine property. Certain measures will be taken to help minimize potential impacts of traffic generated by the Mine project to panthers. These measures will include: Page 1012 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 16 • A large sign will be posted in a conspicuous location on the Mine property visible to all vehicles leaving the site. This sign will notify drivers that panthers may cross State Road 82 or even the project entry road, will advise them of the location of the primary potential wildlife crossing corridors (i.e. road crossing zones) along Highway 29near the Mine, and will warn them to drive carefully in these areas to avoid collisions with panthers and other wildlife. This sign will also include a graphic map illustrating the primary potential wildlife crossing zones near the Mine. • Vehicles hauling (transporting) aggregate will prohibited from leaving or entering the Mine property during the period between one-half hour after sunset and 5:00 AM each day. Lighting used to illuminate the main Mine operations area (i.e. far west side of site containing the aggregate processing/stockpile area, tailings pond, office and maintenance buildings, parking lot) will be equipped with shielding to help reduce light spillage onto off -site lands. EASTERN INDIGO SNAKES Eastern indigo snakes (Drymarchon corais couperi) have not been documented on the Immokalee Sand Mine property but could theoretically be present. Because the eastern indigo snake is protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, there are civil and criminal penalties for injuring, harming, harassing or killing this species. The permittee and/or the permittee's contractors may be held responsible for any eastern indigo snakes harmed, harassed, or killed as a result of Immokalee Sand Mine construction activities. To help avoid harm to these snakes and to help maintain any existing populations, the permittee will engage in a protection program during initial stages of Mine construction activities (i.e. clearing, excavation, filling) on -site as well as during initial mitigation activities in the conservation areas (i.e. initial clearing and grading activities, initial mechanized eradication of exotic plants). The elements of this plan are described in the following paragraphs. Educational pamphlets will be prepared and distributed to all mitigation and construction crews prior to commencement of construction and mitigation activities. These pamphlets will generally describe laws pertaining to the eastern indigo snake, characteristics of the snake (description, habitats, etc.), protocols and procedures to follow if an eastern indigo snake is encountered, and telephone numbers of pertinent agencies to be contacted if an indigo snake is found dead. If an eastern indigo snake is sighted during clearing/construction operations, the following measures will be taken: (1) Immediately cease construction/clearing activities in the area of the sighting; (2) Notify the construction or mitigation supervisor, as applicable, and the designated biologist of the sighting; (3) Allow the snake to move out of the construction/clearing area on its own before resuming construction/clearing activities in the area of sighting, or; (4) If the snake remains within or immediately adjacent to the construction/clearing area, the designated biologist will capture the snake, at which time construction/clearing operations can resume, and will relocate it to a suitable area off -site that is within the immediate project vicinity. Only the designated biologist shall come in contact with or relocate an eastern indigo snake. Any snake captured will be immediately released into appropriate habitat. Indigo Page 1013 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — Listed Species Protection Plan P a g e 17 snakes are to be held in captivity only long enough to transport them to the release site. At no time will two or more snakes be kept in the same container during transport. The designated biologist, or another qualified biologist acting under the direction and supervision of the designated biologist, will be present during the first week of major Mine construction clearing/grading activities that occur in potentially suitable indigo snake habitats. Thereafter, said biologist will conduct spot checks of these areas during initial clearing/construction operations as deemed necessary by the biologist. The biologist will also be present during the first week of the initial clearing and grubbing activities in the project's conservation areas. Following this, the biologist will conduct spot checks of affected portions of the conservation areas during initial clearing, grubbing, and grading activities and during initial mechanized exotic eradication activities as deemed necessary by the biologist. The purpose of these inspections will be to monitor construction/clearing areas for the presence of eastern indigo snakes and to help ensure that appropriate measures are being taken to protect this species. The permittee will submit a report to the US Fish and Wildlife Service summarizing activities pertaining to the eastern indigo snake (for each major project phase) and will provide the US Army Corps of Engineers with a copy of the report. Each report shall be submitted within 60 days of the completion of land clearing/grading/initial construction activities and will include: (1) Any sightings of eastern indigo snakes and general locations of such sightings; (2) Summary information concerning any relocated snakes (e.g., capture area, snake characteristics, date captured and relocated, area of relocation); (3) Summary of site inspection dates. GOPHER TORTOISES AND COMMENSALS Burrows were found along the northwestern berm along the very edge of the property, although none appeared to be currently inhabited by a gopher tortoise. Most burrows were inactive and the few that were active had armadillo tracks and scat in the area and leading to the burrows. It is unlikely that any gopher tortoises currently reside on the Mine property, however a management plan will be implemented given that a dead gopher tortoise was found near the property off of State Road 82. Prior to any clearing or construction activities, another gopher tortoise survey will be completed. This will include qualified biologists examining the site in walking transects to scout any active burrows. Should any gopher tortoise burrows be located, a permit from FWC will be obtained to relocate any species off -site, including listed commensals such as the gopher frog. This relocation procedure will follow all FWC regulations. Page 1014 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE APPENDIX D PRESERVE MANAGEMENT PLAN MAY 2020 (NO CHANGES PROPOSED WITH 2025 EXPANSION) Page 1015 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine Preserve Management Plan Introduction: The Immokalee Sand Mine project has proposed to establish an on -site preserve area to comply with the Collier County Land Development Code requirements for on -site preservation of native habitat. The proposed preserve area is a remnant wetland located in the south west corner of the project site. This Plan outlines the enhancement and protection activities proposed within this preserve area. It also outlines the monitoring efforts that will be done to track and document the success of the creation and restoration efforts. Wetland and upland activities are outlined below. The codes used correspond to the mitigation plan exhibits that are included with this plan. Wet Prairie — (Map FLUCFCS Code 643) This existing wetland occurs in a disturbed area in the southwest corner of the property. Plant cover is variable and mainly consists of native herbaceous wetland species and a few woody exotic and nuisance species. Eradication of the exotic and nuisance species using non - mechanized methods will be undertaken but no other enhancement activities are proposed. Presently the area is occasionally mown during the dry season. It is desirable to retain this area in its existing state due to its value for wading birds. Mowing activities will be suspended unless necessary for the road right-of-way maintenance or to control colonization by large woody species. This area will be separated from the mining operations and maintained in its existing condition. It is not being utilized for any mitigation requirements associated with the project. Supplemental planting should not be necessary but if in the future, conditions warrant planting of this area, the following species would be candidates for the planting palette. Sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) Maidencane (Panicum virgatum) Cordgrasses (Spartina spp.) Spike Rushes (Eleocharis spp.) St. Johns Wort (Hypericum spp.) Spiderlily (Hymenocallis palmeri) Swamplily (Crinum americanum) Yellow -eyed Grass (Xeric ambigua) Whitetop Sedge (Dichromena colorata) Dry Prairie — (Map FLUCFCS Code 310) These existing uplands will provide a protective buffer around the proposed wetland preserve. The area is dominated by domestic and native grasses, with a few cabbage palms and Brazilian pepper scattered throughout. This area will be maintained as an open prairie with scattered canopy trees. Potential species to be utilized in supplemental planting activities would include the following. Canopy: Cabbage Palm (Saba) palmetto) Dahoon Holly (Ilex cassine) Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii) Groundcover: Wiregrass (Aristida stricta) Broomsedge (Andropogon spp.) Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaries) Mid -story: Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) Myrsine (Rapenea punctata) Gallberry (Ilex glabra) Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera) Other appropriate native vegetation may be substituted if availability or on site conditions require amendments to the recommended planting list. Page 2 of 4 Page 1016 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine Preserve Management Plan Hydrologic Enhancement of Wetlands: An important component of the wetland mitigation program is improvement of hydrologic conditions (hydrology and hydroperiod) within preservation area wetlands. Currently the water table in the fields adjacent to the preserve area are managed (i.e. fields are de -watered) by pumping water out of field rim ditches and lateral ditches. This water is discharged via throw out pumps to the east of the property. This practice severely disrupts the normal wetland hydroperiod. Once the mining program has been established, agricultural pumping of water off of the property will be eliminated. This will help restore stable hydroperiods that are more typical of natural wetland conditions, prevent artificial over -inundation or drawdown of wetlands, and improve water quality. Protection of Wetlands and Uplands via Conservation Easements: The preserve area will be placed under appropriate conservation easements which will protect the future integrity of the created, restored, and enhanced wetlands and uplands encompassed by the conservation area. The easements will ensure that the conservation areas are preserved and protected in perpetuity. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Maintenance Eradication of Exotic and Nuisance Plants: All exotic vegetation will be removed from the preserve areas which will be maintained in perpetuity to ensure that the areas are free from exotic/invasive plant species immediately following maintenance events and such that exotic and nuisance plane species will constitute no more then 5% of the total plant cover in the interim between these maintenance events. Exotic invasive plant species will include Category I and Category II species identified in the current "Invasive Plant List" published by the Florida Exotic Pest Plan Council (FLEPPC) as well as Class I and Class II Prohibited Aquatic Plants listed in Chapter 62C-52.011, Florida Administrative Code. Nuisance plant species will include native plant species deemed detrimental due to their potential adverse competition with desirable native species. Visual inspection for exotic, non-native and nuisance plant invasion will be conducted annually and all exotic, non-native and nuisance vegetation including those defined by County codes and the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, found within the preserve areas will be flagged, mapped and reported for treatment. Exotic and nuisance ground covers will be treated with a U.S. EPA approved herbicide and visible tracer dye. These maintenance activities will be performed in perpetuity as needed. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Removal of Cattle and Fencing: All of the Preserve area is currently grazed by cattle on a rotational basis. This cattle grazing has restricted development of desirable ground cover, and to a lesser degree, sub -canopy plant species. Much of the on -site Preserve is also occasionally managed for rangeland grazing via measures such as mowing. Cattle will no longer be allowed to graze on the preserve lands and rangeland management practices will be discontinued. This should increase the growth, development, and diversity of native plant assemblages by removing the grazing and management pressures. Wetland and Upland Preserve Delineation: The Preserve will be clearly delineated with appropriate signage both during and after construction activities. Protective barricades will be used to cordon off construction areas and keep construction equipment out of preserve areas. A double row of silt fence will be used along preserve areas to separate them from the construction activities. The silt fence will remain in place until the perimeter berm is installed around the area of excavation. Appropriate signage will be placed along the perimeter of the preserves at 100 to 150 foot spacing. Page 3 of 4 Page 1017 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine Preserve Management Plan Preserve Monitoring: All exotic vegetation, as defined by County Code, and all Category I invasive exotic plants, as defined by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, shall be removed from within preserve areas and subsequent annual removal of these plants (in perpetuity) shall be the responsibility of the property owner. Preserves shall be maintained in their natural state and must be kept free of refuse and debris. Annual monitoring reports in accordance with required annual inspections of the preserve by the preserve manager shall be provided to Collier County upon request. Preserves will be inspected, at a minimum, on an annual basis. The goal of the annual inspections as outlined in this monitoring plan is to enable evaluation and characterization of preserved areas over time and document progress through a series of scheduled monitoring reports. The reports will quantify and describe conditions within the managed areas, comparing observations with proposed standards and offering advice for corrective actions if needed. These reports shall at a minimum address exotic and nuisance vegetation removal, restoration plantings, management for listed species and general maintenance needs for the preserve. Monitoring Techniques: Meandering transects will be followed in the preserve areas for vegetation inventory and exotic, non-native and nuisance species observations. Preserves will be inspected annually in perpetuity. Reports in accordance with County requirements will be generated for a minimum of five years to provide detailed information as to the ongoing status of the restoration and enhancement activities. A Baseline Report will describe the existing conditions prior to enhancement activities. Photo points will be established in areas to monitor the understory growth of these sub -climax ecosystems. The time zero report will describe the aerial extent of exotic, non-native and nuisance removal and other restoration work, i.e., re -vegetation, photographs from referenced locations, qualitative observations of wildlife use and other information such as climatic and hydrological conditions and health of the existing vegetation. Subsequent reports will continue to monitor these same parameters. Transects will be established along with plot sampling stations to determine percent survival and percent coverage of planted and recruited plant species. Prior to this report, the conservation easements shall have been recorded in the Collier County public records for the preserve/mitigation lands. Baseline, Time Zero and Annual reports will include: • quantification of any regeneration of exotic, non-native and nuisance species and recommendations for remedial actions, where applicable. • quantification of re -vegetation of cleared areas by native species. • percent coverage, open space and water depths, as appropriate. • direct and indirect wildlife observations. • site hydrological characteristics. • site specific rainfall data. • photographs from referenced locations. A photo -point from PVC labeled stake will be established. • photographs of upland/wetland preservation areas. • Monitoring well will be installed as part of the excavation activities. The closest well will be set up to collect data once a day throughout the year. • Preserve manager responsible for report.

Almy - Project Manager Lee Hutchinson - Project Archaeologist Rudy Westerman and Grant Stauffer - Archaeologists March 2016 Page 1020 of 1180 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A Cultural Resource Assessment Survey (CRAS) for the ±900 Immokalee Sand Mine property in Collier County, Florida, was performed by Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (ACI) in February and March 2016. The purpose of this survey was to locate and identify any cultural resources within the property and to assess their significance in terms of eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). This survey was conducted in compliance with a request from the Florida Division of Historical Resources (FDHR 2010 and Bendus 2016) and meets requirements set forth in Chapters 267 and 373, Florida Statutes (FS), Florida's Coastal Management program, and implementing state regulations regarding possible impact to significant historical properties, as well as Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, per U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requirements. Archaeological: Review of the Florida Master Site File (FMSF), and the NRHP, indicated that no archaeological sites have been previously recorded within the Immokalee Sand Mine property. Background research indicated a moderate to low potential for the presence of archaeological sites within the survey area. As a result of field survey, no archaeological sites were found but two archaeological occurrences (AO) were found. According to the FMSF, an AO is defined as "the presence of one or two nondiagnostic artifacts, not known to be distant from their original context which fit within a hypothetical cylinder of 30 meters diameter, regardless of depth below surface." Thus, occurrences are not recorded as sites but do note prehistoric activity within the general area. Historic Structures: Review of the FMSF and the NRHP indicated that no historic structures (50 years of age or older) have been previously recorded within the Immokalee Sand Mine property, and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Immokalee, Fla. Quadrangle map (1958, PR 1987) indicated no potential for the presence of historic structures within the survey area. As a result of field survey, no historic structures were identified or recorded within the project area. Based on these findings, project development/mining of the property will have no impact on any significant cultural resources, including those properties listed, determined eligible, or considered potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP. No further research is recommended.

The project area is located within Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Sections 6 and 7 (Figure 1.1). This survey complies with Chapters 267 and 373, Florida Statutes (FS), Florida's Coastal Management Program, and implementing state regulations regarding possible impact to historic properties listed, or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as well as Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The resulting report meets the standards contained in Chapter 1A-46, Florida Administrative Code and follows the guidelines in the Cultural Resource Management Standards and Operational Manual (Florida Division of Historical Resources [FDHR] 2003). 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this CRAS was to locate and identify any prehistoric and historic period archaeological sites and historic structures located within the Immokalee property, and to assess their significance in terms of eligibility for listing in the NRHP. The historical and archaeological survey was conducted in February and March 2016.

Page 1025 of 1180 2-1 2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW The Immokalee Sand Mine property is located in Sections 6 and 7 of Township 46 South, Range 29 East, north of the city of Immokalee and immediately north of SR 82, a mile west of SR 29 in northwest Collier County (Figure 2.1). Wetlands are abundant in the region. Corkscrew Swamp and Baucom Cypress Strand are located south of the project area. In addition, Lake Trafford lies approximately three miles west of the property. The project area is comprised of about 850 acres of upland and approximately 32 acres of surface waters including ponds, drainage ditches, and 15 acres of wetlands. In addition, agricultural lands include row crops, cattle pasture, and citrus groves - the trees having been removed in 2013. Mining of the property will include approximately 606.85 acres which will be excavated. Future land use will include a 589-acre lake, 144 acres of dry prairie, 73 acres of roads, 40 acres of citrus, 20 acres of freshwater marsh, 13 acres of wet prairie, 6 acres of palm hammock, 6 acres of willow marsh, 6 acres of ditches and 1 acre of herbaceous wetlands (Cemex Construction Materials Florida, LLC). The area lies in the Unnamed Ditches drainage sub basin of the West Caloosahatchee drainage basin of the Caloosahatchee river water shed. Following are representative samples of what the project currently looks like (Photos 2.1-2.6). Photo 2.1. South view of relict citrus grove on property.

Paleoenvironmental Considerations: The prehistoric environment of Collier County and the surrounding area was different from that which is seen today. Sea levels were much lower, the climate was drier, and potable water was scarce. Given the changes in water resource availability, botanical communities, and faunal resources, an understanding of human ecology during the earliest periods of human occupation in Florida cannot be founded upon observations of the modern environment. Aboriginal inhabitants would have developed cultural adaptations in response to the environmental changes taking place. These alterations were reflected in prehistoric settlement patterns, site types, site locations, artifact forms, and variations in the resources used. Dunbar (1981:95) notes that due to the and conditions during the period between 16,500 and 12,500 years ago, "the perched water aquifer and potable water supplies were absent." Palynological studies conducted in Florida and Georgia suggest that between 13,000 and 5000 years ago, this area was covered with an upland vegetation community of scrub oak and prairie (Watts 1969, 1971, 1975). The rise of sea level severely reduced xeric habitats over the next several millennia. By 5000 years ago, southern pine forests were replacing the oak savannahs. Extensive marshes and swamps developed along the coasts and subtropical hardwood forests became established along the southern tip of Florida (Delcourt and Delcourt 1981). Northern Florida saw an increase in oak species, grasses and sedges (Carbone 1983). At Lake Annie in south-central Florida, pollen cores are dominated by wax myrtle and pine. The assemblage suggests that by this time a forest dominated by longleaf pine, along with cypress swamps and bayheads, existed in the area (Watts 1971, 1975). Roughly five millennia ago, surface water was plentiful in karst terrains and the level of the Floridan aquifer rose to five feet above present levels. After this time, modern floral and climatic and environmental conditions began to be established (Watts 1975). With the onset of the modern environmental conditions, numerous micro -environments were available to the aboriginal inhabitants in the area. By 4000 B.C.E., ground water had reached current levels, and the shift to warmer, moister conditions saw the appearance of hardwood forests, bayheads, cypress swamps, prairie, and marshlands. P16006 Page 1030 of 1180 3-1 3.0 CULTURAL HISTORY A discussion of the culture history of a region provides a framework within which the local archaeological and historic records can be examined. Archaeological and historic sites are not individual entities, but are the remains of once dynamic cultural systems. As a result, they cannot be adequately examined or interpreted without reference to other sites and resources within the area. In general, archaeologists summarize the culture history of an area (i.e., an archaeological region) by outlining the sequence of archaeological cultures through time. These cultures are defined largely in geographical terms but also reflect shared environmental and cultural factors. The project area is situated within the Caloosahatchee region (Figure 3.1), which extends from Charlotte Harbor on the north to the northern border of the Ten Thousand Islands on the south and inland about 54 miles (Carr and Beriault 1984:4, 12; Griffin 1988; Milanich 1994). The Caloosahatchee region is better understood after the introduction of pottery (ca. 500 BCE [Before Common Era]). Prior to this, regional characteristics of native populations are not easily identified, as malleable materials such as textiles and basketry, which lend themselves to cultural expression, are typically destroyed by environmental processes. With the arrival of pottery, the clay medium provided both a means of cultural expression and an archaeologically durable artifact. Thus, the use of pottery as a marker of cultural diversity probably post-dates the inception of distinct Florida cultures by many centuries. The aceramic Paleo-Indian and Archaic periods are followed by the Caloosahatchee cultural sequence (500 BCE to 1500 CE [Common Era]) at which point the bearers of the Caloosahatchee culture enter into the ethnographic record as the Calusa Indians. The following overview is based on data from Griffin (1988, 2002), Widmer (1988), and Milanich (1994). The local history of the region is divided into four broad periods based initially upon the major governmental powers. The first period, Colonialism, occurred during the exploration and control of Florida by the Spanish and British from around 1513 until 1821. At that time, Florida became a territory of the United States and 21 years later became a State (Territorial and Statehood). The Civil War and Aftermath (1861-1899) period deals with the Civil War, the period of Reconstruction following the war, and the late 1800s, when the transportation systems were dramatically increased and development throughout the state expanded. The Twentieth Century period has subperiods defined by important historic events such as the World Wars, the Boom of the 1920s, and the Depression. Each of these periods evidenced differential development and utilization of the region, thus effecting the historic archeological site distribution. 3.1 Paleo-Indian The Paleo-Indian stage is the earliest known cultural manifestation in Florida, dating from roughly 12,000 to 7500 BCE (Milanich 1994). Archaeological evidence for Paleo-Indians consists primarily of scattered finds of diagnostic lanceolate -shaped projectile points. The Florida peninsula at this time was quite different than today. In general, the climate was cooler and drier with vegetation typified by xerophytic species with scrub oak, pine, open grassy prairies, and savannas being the most common (Milanich 1994:40). When human populations were arriving in Florida, the sea levels were still as much as 40 to 60 m (130-200 ft) below present levels and coastal regions of Florida extended miles beyond present-day shorelines (Faught 2004). Thus, many of these sites have been inundated (cf., Faught and Donoghue 1997).

Florida Archaeological Regions. The project area (*) is within the Caloosahatchee Region. Page 1032 of 1180 3-3 The Paleo-Indian period has been sub -divided into three horizons based upon characteristic tool forms (Austin 2001). Traditionally, it is believed that the Clovis Horizon (10,500-9000 BCE) represents the initial occupation of Florida and is defined based upon the presence of the fluted Clovis points. These are somewhat more common in north Florida, although Robinson (1979) does illustrate a few points from the central Gulf Coast area. However, recent work, may indicate that Suwannee and Simpson points are contemporary with or predate Clovis (Dunbar 2006a; Stanford 1991). The Suwannee Horizon (9000-8500 BCE) is the best known of the Paleo-Indian horizons. The lanceolate - shaped, unfluted Simpson and Suwannee projectile points are diagnostic of this period (Bullen 1975; Daniel and Wisenbaker 1987; Purdy 1981). The Suwannee tool kit includes a variety of scrapers, adzes, spokeshaves, unifacially retouched flakes, flakes with beaked projections, and blade -like flakes as well as bone and ivory foreshafts, pins, awls, daggers, anvils, and abraders (Austin 2001:23). Following the Suwannee Horizon is the Late Paleo-Indian Horizon (8500-8000 BCE). The smaller Tallahassee, Santa Fe, and Beaver Lake projectile points have traditionally been attributed to this horizon (Milanich 1994). However, many of these points have been recovered stratigraphically from late Archaic and early Woodland period components and thus, may not date to this time period at all (Austin 2001; Farr 2006). Florida notched or pseudo -notched points, including the Union, Greenbriar, and Hardaway -like points may represent late Paleo-Indian types, but these types have not been recovered from datable contexts and their temporal placement remains uncertain (Dunbar 2006a:410). Archaeologists hypothesize that Paleo-Indians lived in migratory bands and subsisted by gathering and hunting, including the now -extinct Pleistocene megafauna. Since it was cooler and drier, it is likely that these nomadic hunters traveled between permanent and semi -permanent sources of water, such as artesian springs, exploiting the available resources. These watering holes would have attracted the animals that the Indians hunted, thus providing both food and drink. In addition to being tied to water sources, most of the Paleo-Indian sites are also proximate to sources of good quality lithic resources. This settlement pattern is considered logistical, i.e. the establishment of semi- permanent habitation areas and the movement of the resources from their sources of procurement to the residential locale by specialized task groups (Austin 2001:25). Although the Paleo-Indian period is generally considered to have been cooler and drier, there were major variations in the inland water tables resulting from large-scale environmental fluctuations. There have been two major theories as to why most Paleo-Indian materials have been recovered from inundated sites. The Oasis theory posits that due to low water tables and scarcity of potable water, the Paleo-Indians and game animals upon which they depended clustered around the few available water holes that were associated with sinkholes (Neill 1964). Waller postulated that the Paleo-Indians gathered around river -crossings to ambush the large Pleistocene animals as they crossed the rivers (Waller 1970). This implies periods of elevated water levels. Based on the research along the Aucilla and Wacissa Rivers, it appears that both theories are correct, depending upon what the local environmental conditions were at that time (Dunbar 2006b). As such, during the wetter periods, populations became more dispersed because the water resources were abundant and the animals they relied on could roam over a wider range. Some of the information about this period has been derived from the underwater excavations at two inland spring sites in Sarasota County: Little Salt Spring and Warm Mineral Springs (Clausen et al. 1979). Excavation at the Harney Flats Site in Hillsborough County has provided a rich body of data concerning Paleo-Indian life ways. Analysis indicates that this site was used as a quarry -related base camp with special use activity areas (Daniel and Wisenbaker 1987). It has been suggested that Paleo-Indian settlement may not have been related as much to seasonal changes as generally postulated for the succeeding Archaic period, but instead movement was perhaps related to the scheduling of tool -kit replacement, social needs, and the availability of water, among other factors (Daniel and Wisenbaker 1987:175). Investigations along the Aucilla and Wacissa Rivers, as well as P16006 Page 1033 of 1180 3-4 other sites within the north Florida rivers have provided important information on the Paleo-Indian period and how the aboriginals adapted to their environmental setting (Webb 2006). Studies of the Pleistocene faunal remains from these sites clearly demonstrate the importance of these animals not for food alone, but as he raw material for their bone tool industry (Dunbar and Webb 1996). 3.2 Archaic As the Paleo-Indian period gradually ended, climatic changes occurred and the Pleistocene megafauna disappeared. The disappearance of the mammoths and mastodons resulted in a reduction of open grazing lands, and thus, the subsequent disappearance of grazers such as horse, bison, and camels. With the reduction of open habitat, the herd animals were replaced by the more solitary, woodland browser: the white-tailed deer (Dunbar 2006a:426). The intertwined data of megafauna extinction and cultural change suggests a rapid and significant disruption in both faunal and floral assemblages and the Bolen people represent the first culture adapted to the Holocene environment (Carter and Dunbar 2006). This included a more specialized toolkit and the introduction of chipped - stone woodworking implements. However, because of a lack of excavated collections and the poor preservation of bone and other organic materials in the upland sites, our knowledge of the Early Archaic tool assemblage is limited (Carter and Dunbar 2006; Milanich 1994). Discoveries at the Page-Ladson, Little Salt Spring, and Windover sites indicate that bone and wood tools were used (Clausen et al. 1979; Doran 2002; Webb 2006). The archaeological record suggests a diffuse, yet well -scheduled, pattern of exploiting both coastal and interior resources. Because water sources were much more numerous and larger than previously, it was possible to sustain larger populations, occupy sites for longer periods, and perform activities that required longer occupation at specific locales (Milanich 1994:67). By approximately 6500 years ago marked environmental changes, which had profound influence upon human settlement and subsistence practices, occurred. Humans adapted to this changing environment and regional and local differences are reflected in the archaeological record (Russo 1994a, 1994b; Sassaman 2008). Among the landscape alterations were rises in sea and water table levels that resulted in the creation of more available surface water. It was during this period that Lake Okeechobee, the Everglades, the Big Cypress, and the Caloosahatchee and Peace Rivers developed. In addition to changed hydrological conditions, this period is characterized by the spread of mesic forests and the beginnings of modern vegetation communities including pine forests and cypress swamps (Griffin 1988; Widmer 1988). The archaeological record for the Middle Archaic is better understood than the Early Archaic. Among the material culture inventory are several varieties of stemmed, broad blade projectile points including those of the Newnan, Levy, Marion, and Putnam types (Bullen 1975). At sites where preservation is good, such as sinkholes and ponds, an elaborate bone tool assemblage is recognized along with shell tools and complicated weaving (Beriault et al. 1981; Wheeler 1994). In addition, artifacts have been found in the surrounding upland areas. Along the coast, excavations on both Horr's Island in Collier County and Useppa Island in Lee County (Milanich et al. 1984; Russo 1991) have uncovered pre -ceramic shell middens that date to the Middle Archaic period. The Horr's Island shell ring is accompanied by at least three ceremonial mounds. Large architectural features such as these were designed to divide, separate, and elevate above other physical positions within the settlement as a reflection and reinforcement of the society's social segmentation (Russo 2008:21). P16006 Page 1034 of 1180 3-5 Mortuary sites, characterized by interments in shallow ponds and sloughs as discovered at the Little Salt Springs Site in Sarasota County (Clausen et al. 1979) and the Bay West Site in Collier County (Beriault et al. 1981), are also distinctive of the Middle Archaic. Population growth, as evidenced by the increased number of Middle Archaic sites and accompanied by increased socio- cultural complexity, is also assumed (Russo 1994b, 2008; Widmer 1988). The beginning of the Late (or Ceramic) Archaic is similar in many respects to the Middle Archaic but includes the addition of ceramics. The earliest pottery was fiber -tempered (Orange Plain and Orange Incised). Orange series ceramics have been recovered from a number of sites in southwest Florida (Bullen and Bullen 1956; Cockrell 1970; Luer 1989c, 1999; Marquardt 1992b, 1999; Russo 1991; Widmer 1974). Although semi -fiber -tempered wares are generally attributed to the late Orange period, analysis of such sherds from a number of sites indicates that this type of ceramic occurred throughout the Orange period (Cordell 2004). Projectile points of the Late Archaic are primarily stemmed and corner -notched, and include those of the Culbreath, Clay, and Lafayette types (Bullen 1975). Other lithic tools of the Late Archaic include hafted scrapers and ovate and triangular - shaped knives (Milanich and Fairbanks 1980). Archaeological evidence indicates that South Florida was sparsely settled during this time, with only a few sites recorded. 3.3 Caloosahatchee The termination of the Late or Ceramic Archaic corresponds to a time of environmental change. The maturing of productive estuarine systems was accompanied by cultural changes leading to the establishment of what John Goggin defined as the "Glades Tradition" (Griffin 1988:133). It was characterized by "the exploitation of the food resources of the tropical coastal waters, with secondary dependence on game and some use of wild plant foods. Agriculture was apparently never practiced, but pottery was extensively used" (Goggin 1949:28). Unlike much of peninsular Florida, the region does not contain deposits of chert, and as such stone artifacts are rare. Instead of stone, shell and bone were used as raw materials for tools (Milanich 1994:302). Most information concerning the post-500 BCE aboriginal populations is derived from coastal sites where the subsistence patterns are typified by the extensive exploitation of fish and shellfish, wild plants, and inland game, like deer. Although Widmer postulated environmental stability for the Calusa, this was far from the truth based upon the recent environmental reconstructions (Walker 2013; Widmer 1988). Inland sites show a greater, if not exclusive reliance on interior resources. Known inland sites often consist of sand burial mounds and shell and dirt middens along major water courses, and small dirt middens containing animal bone and ceramic sherds in oak/palm hammocks, or palm tree islands associated with freshwater marshes (Griffin 1988). These islands of dry ground provided space for settlements (Carr 2002). The settlement pattern of the Caloosahatchee people at this time consisted of large villages (10 hectares [ha] (25 acres [ac]) in size with about 400 people), small villages (3-4 ha [9 ac] / 50 people), and fishing hamlets and/or collection stations (< 1 ha [2.5 ac], temporary, task specific site) (Widmer 1988). The larger sites are located in the coastal areas, whereas most of the interior sites are seen as short-term hunting stations occupied by special task groups from the permanent coastal villages (Widmer 1988:226). Caloosahatchee 1, ca. 500 BCE to 500 CE, is characterized by thick, sand -tempered plain sherds with rounded lips, some St. Johns Plain ceramics, the appearance of Pineland Plain ceramics (tempered with sponge spicules and medium to fine quartz sand), and the absence of Belle Glade ceramics (Marquardt 1999:85). Based on the faunal analysis from Useppa Island and Pineland, fish P16006 Page 1035 of 1180 3-6 was the primary meat source with whelks and conchs being the primary shellfish food. Botanical materials utilized include chenopod, panic grass, talinum, mallow, red mangrove, waxmyrtle, pine, buttonwood, and seagrape (Marquardt 1999:87). Data on burial customs for this time are unknown; on Pineland, the use of burial mounds began around 1000 CE (Marquardt and Walker 2013). From 500 to 1200 CE, the Caloosahatchee II period is marked by a dramatic increase of Belle Glade ceramics in the area. Cordell (1992) has divided the Caloosahatchee II period into IIA and IIB based on the appearance of Belle Glade Red ceramics at about 800 CE. In addition, the IIA and IIB time ranges roughly correlate with two contrasting climate/sea-level episodes (Walker 2013). These changes in ceramics may also indicate the resurgence of ceremonial mound use, a characteristic of the period. Burials occurred in sand mounds and in natural sand ridges with both primary flexed and secondary bundle burials. The number of shell middens or village sites increased (Milanich 1994:319) and evidence of ranked societies appears (Widmer 1988:93). The Wightman Site has three non - mortuary ceremonial mounds connected by shell causeways (Fradkin 1976). In addition, the large Pineland Canal appears to have been constructed at this time (Luer 1989a, 1989b). It is possible that the large Pineland complex served as the center of Calusa society at this time (cf. Milanich 1995:44). During this time, it had been postulated that sea levels were higher than during the Caloosahatchee I period, or that the coastal area was under greater influence from nearby ocean inlets. This is based on the higher diversity of faunal remains and the increased number higher salinity based food stuffs (Walker 1992). The number of shell midden or village sites increased, and shell tools (hafted shell hammers and cutting edged tools) became more diverse (Marquardt 1992a:429; Milanich 1994:319). The Caloosahatchee III period, ca. 1200 to 1350 CE, is identified by the appearance of St. Johns Check Stamped and Pinellas Plain ceramics (Cordell 1992). Belle Glade Plain ceramics continue to be the dominant type, with sand tempered plain and Pineland Plain. Marquardt (1992a:430) notes that there were no obvious changes in the settlement and subsistence patterns based upon the archaeological evidence even though this is the beginning of the Little Ice Age (Marquardt 2013). Sand burial mounds continued to be utilized, often containing Englewood and Safety Harbor vessels. A number of mounds from this period have had radially placed extended burials within the mounds (Luer and Almy 1987). From 1400 to 1513 CE, the Caloosahatchee IV period is characterized by the appearance of numerous trade wares from all adjoining regions of Florida (Widmer 1988:86). These types include Glades Tooled and pottery of the Safety Harbor series. There was also a decrease in popularity of Belle Glade Plain ceramics (Milanich 1994:321). Sand tempered plain pottery, with square and flattened lips, is the most common (Cordell 1992:168). There is also an increase in Pineland Plain ceramics. Around 1400 CE, the use of incising on ceramics in the Glades and Caloosahatchee regions ceased and the ceramic assemblages of the two areas were very homogeneous (Marquardt 1992a:431). Some have suggested that this represents an expansion of the Calusa within this area (Griffin 1988; McGregor 1974). Large villages sites continued to accumulate midden-mounds and the dead were interred in sand burial mounds (Marquardt 2013). 3.4 Colonialism The Caloosahatchee V period, ca. 1513 to 1750 CE, is coterminous with the period of European contact. The only difference between Caloosahatchee III and IV is the presence of European artifacts. The Caloosahatchee area was the home territory of the Calusa, a sedentary, non- agricultural, highly stratified and politically complex chiefdom (Milanich 1998). Calusa villages along the coast are marked by extensive shellworks and earthworks. Sites are marked by the appearance of European artifacts in association with aboriginal artifacts. It was also at this time that P16006 Page 1036 of 1180 3-7 metal pendants were being manufactured by aboriginal metal smiths (Allerton et al. 1984). In addition, cultural materials from the Leon -Jefferson Mission Period in north Florida have also been recovered (Widmer 1988:86). This may be evidence of Indians fleeing Spanish missionaries and moving into southwest Florida. Spanish missionaries and European explorers found areas of large population on the southwest Florida coast, through there were interior occupations as well (Hann 1991). During the historic period, there was no reason to doubt that the Indians of southwest Florida continued to subsist mainly on resources of the sea, though they are said to have been fond of Spanish food and drink (Marquardt 1992a:431). Burial patterns also remained similar to the earlier periods, but included some European goods. The most striking feature of the Caloosahatchee mortuary pattern is its continuity through time and general lack of grave goods (Walker et al. 1996:23). Between 1513 and 1558, Spain launched several expeditions of exploration and, ultimately failed, colonization of La Florida. Archaeological evidence of contact can be found in the form of European trade goods such as glass beads, bells, and trinkets recovered from village sites. Prior to the settlement of St. Augustine in 1565, European contact with the indigenous peoples was sporadic and brief, however, the repercussions were devastating. The southeastern Native American population of 1500 has been estimated at 1.5 to 2 million (Dobyns 1983). Following exposure to Old World diseases such as bubonic plague, dysentery, influenza, and smallpox, epidemics to which they had no immunity, the Native American population of the New World was reduced by as much as 90% (Ramenofsky 1987). The social consequences of such a swift and merciless depopulation were staggering. Within 87 years of Ponce de Leon's landing, the Mississippian cultures of the Southeast were collapsed (Smith 1987). In 1708, the Spanish government reported that three hundred refugees were all that remained of the original Florida population (Mulroy 1993). Along the Gulf Coast between Charlotte Harbor and Tampa Bay, Spanish and Cuban fishermen established communities, or "ranchos," with the earliest being at Useppa Island and San Carlos Bay (Hammond 1973; Palov 1999). There is growing archaeological evidence that the surviving Native Americans of the region were assimilated into these mixed communities (Almy 2001; Hann 1991; Neill 1968; Palov 1999). These west coast ranchos supplied dried fish to Cuban and northern markets until the mid-1830s, when the Seminole Indian Wars and customs control closed the fisheries. During the two centuries following the settlement of St. Augustine, the Spanish widened their Florida holdings to include the settlement at Pensacola and a garrison at Saint Marks. With the English to the north and the French to the west, the Spanish colony of La Florida was extremely fragile. In the early 1700s, Spain invited some of the Lower Creek Indians displaced by British settlements into La Florida to provide a hostile buffer against the British (Mulroy 1993). What formed as a border population evolved as other bands of Lower Creek extraction moved into the peninsula. This first migration formed a confederation, which included Cowkeeper and his Alachua band, the Apalachicolas, and the Mikasukis (Mulroy 1993). The Treaty of Paris (1763) reallocated the English, French, and Spanish holdings in the New World. As a result, Florida was ceded to the English. After this, bands of Upper Creek, Muskogee speakers, began moving into Florida, increasing the Native American population to around two thousand by 1790 (Mulroy 1993). Although cultural distinctions existed between the various Native American groups entering Florida, Europeans collectively called them Seminoles: The word Seminole means runaway or broken off. Hence Seminole is a distinctive appellation, applicable to all the Indians in the Territory of Florida, as all of them run away, or broke off, from the Creek or Nuiscoge [Muskogee] nation (United States Congress 1837). P16006 Page 1037 of 1180 The Seminoles formed, at various times, loose confederacies for mutual protection against the new American Nation to the north (Tebeau 1980:72) which considered them to be "the wildest and fiercest remnant of a tribe which has been distinguished for their ceaseless opposition to the arts of civilization" (United States Congress 1850). The Seminoles were joined by escaped slaves from South Carolina and Georgia (Porter 1996), "many of whom were seduced from the service of their masters" (Jackson et al. 1817-1818). The loss of slave labor, particularly in light of the abolitionists' movement in the northeast, coupled with the anxiety of having a free and hostile slave population immediately to the south, caused great concern among plantation owners. This historically underestimated nuance of the Seminole Wars prompted General Thomas S. Jesup to say "This you may be assured is a negro and not an Indian War" (Knetsch 2003:104). Following the treaty of Paris (1763), the ensuing decades witnessed the American Revolution during which English loyalists immigrated to Florida. Following the Revolution, the second Treaty of Paris (1783) returned Florida to Spain; however, Spanish influence was nominal during this second period of ownership. For the next 36 years, Spain, from the vantage of Florida, watched with growing concern as the infant American Nation to the north gained momentum. When the United States acquired the Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803, Spain was hemmed in. When the Seminoles began cross border raids from Spanish Florida into the United States, General Andrew Jackson was commission to defend the nation. His orders permitted him to cross the international border to pursue Seminoles, but he was to respect Spanish authority. General Jackson's subsequent actions belie either tacit instructions or a personal agenda, as he killed hundreds of Indians and runaway slaves, took control of several Spanish garrisons and towns, confiscated the Spanish royal archives, named an American as governor of the area, and announced that the Spanish economic laws would be replaced by the revenue laws of the United States (Tebeau 1980). This aggression understandably strained relations between the United States and Spain. Spain, who had more pressing concerns with its Central and South American colonies, ceded Florida to the United States in the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819 in exchange for the territory west of the Sabine River. 3.5 Territorial and Statehood Andrew Jackson, named provisional governor of Florida, divided the territory into St. Johns and Escambia Counties. At that time, St. Johns County encompassed all of Florida lying east of the Suwannee River, and Escambia County included the land lying to the west. In the first territorial census in 1825, some 317 persons reportedly lived in South Florida; by 1830 that number had risen to 517 (Tebeau 1980:134). Although what became known as the First Seminole War (the cross border hostilities between the United States and the Seminoles) was fought in north Florida, the Treaty of Moultrie Creek in 1823, at the end of the war, was to affect the settlement of south Florida. In exchange for occupancy of a four million acre reservation south of Ocala and north of Charlotte Harbor, the Seminoles relinquished their claim to the remainder of the peninsula (Covington 1958; Mahon 1985). The treaty satisfied neither the Indians nor the settlers. The inadequacy of the reservation, the desperate situation of the Seminoles, and the demand of would-be settlers for their removal, produced another conflict. By 1835, the Second Seminole War was underway, initiated with the Seminole attack on Major Dade's company en route to Fort King. Although much of the Second Seminole War occurred in central Florida, as the Seminoles fled southward into the Big Cypress and Everglades, U.S. forces pursued them. At approximately the time when engagements were entering this part of the state, a shift in military installation paradigm occurred. In October 1840, U.S. Secretary of War Joel Poinsett P16006 Page 1038 of 1180 3-9 advised commander Armistead that the construction of fixed post installations should be discontinued and temporary depots should be adopted (Knetsch 2003). This new strategy was a direct response to the guerilla -like warfare utilized by the Seminoles and an abandonment of European -modeled set piece warfare. Because of this directive, the landscape of south Florida was dotted with depots and only slightly more substantial "forts." The forts of south Florida very rarely approximated the size and permanency of forts such as Brooke, King, and Mellon. The federal government ended the Second Seminole War in 1842 by withdrawing troops from Florida. At the war's end, some of the battle -weary Seminoles were persuaded to emigrate to the Oklahoma Indian Reservation where the federal government had set aside land for them. After much political deliberation over the fate of black Seminoles (Knetsch 2003:126), approximately 500 black Seminoles were allowed to accompany the "red Seminoles" west (Porter 1996). Those Seminoles who wished to remain in Florida were allowed to do so, but the reservation boundary was redrawn, reducing Seminole lands to the south and west of Lake Istokpoga in Highlands County. In an attempt to prohibit contact between the Seminole and Cuban fishermen, the offshore islands were excluded from the territory (Covington 1982:3). The government considered these two and one half million acres "a temporary hunting and planting reserve" (Covington 1982:3), and continued to pressure the remaining Seminoles to leave by "sending a delegation of their tribe, which have emigrated West, to visit their brethren in Florida, and explain to them the advantages of rejoining their tribe" (United States Congress 1850). In 1845, the Union admitted the State of Florida with Tallahassee as the state capital and survey and exploration of the Big Cypress and Okeechobee areas was intensified. Tension mounted as the Seminoles watched with growing alarm the passage of military patrols and survey parties, and complaints were made to Indian Agent Captain Casey that such activities made hostilities inevitable (Covington 1982:30). Patrols typically found little remaining of previous military installations, however navigation and location was always in doubt given the limited cartography and featureless swamps. One officer lamented that "The maps represent the shape of the Big Cypress so differently in this portion of it and also the course of the creek Okholoakooche [Okaloacoochee Slough] from what I found that I felt doubts if I had yet reached the right place" . On January 22, 1855, Lt. George Hartsuff, appointed topographical engineer and main surveyor, began exploration of the Big Cypress and Everglades. During this time, he helped establish Forts Simon Drum and Shackleford. When the rainy season of June 1855 set in, survey was suspended and Hartsuff began work on his field notes and maps. In a sketch furnished to the War Department, he showed the exact location of many Indian villages and noted that he had been into the chief haunt of the Indians that contained most of their villages, gardens, and cattle pens (Covington 1982:35). Sampson Forrester, a Black Seminole, provided the following account of the Seminole existence in the swamps: Within the swamp are many pine -islands, upon which the villages are located. They are susceptible of cultivation; and between them is a cypress swamp, the water from two to three feet deep. The Indians rely principally upon their crops, which, though small, add much to their comfort. Corn, pumpkins, beans, wild potatoes, and cabbage palmetto, afford subsistence. The scarcity of powder deprives them partially of game; though bears and turkey are frequently killed with arrows. Discharging a rifle was forbidden, as in a country so flat and wet the reverberation is in abundance; but there they apprehend discovery. A few ponies, cattle, hogs, and chickens are owned by the chief (Tampa Tribune 1955). P16006 Page 1039 of 1180 3-10 On December 7, 1855, Lieutenant Hartsuff again set out for the Big Cypress with orders to make reconnaissance and take note of any Indian fields and settlements (Covington 1982:1). Within a few days, the company found the charred ashes of Forts Simon Drum and Shackelford, which had been abandoned during the rainy season. Every Indian village entered was found to be deserted, and when leaving Billy Bowlegs' village on December 18, 1855, artillerymen took bunches of planted bananas. Later, in the day, the company received orders to return to Fort Myers and they began the trip westward. They camped for the evening in a small grove south of present day Immokalee; 30 Seminole warriors led by Billy Bowlegs ambushed them at 5:00 AM (Covington 1982:1). In what was perhaps the result of misunderstood aggression, and tragically ill-timed orders (had they only left a day earlier), the Third, and final, Seminole War began. For the following two and a half years, hit and miss skirmishes extended from the Big Cypress and Everglades to Darby in Pasco County and New Smyrna Beach in Volusia County. Through this period, U.S. military strategy ranged from the use of poorly disciplined militia, to aggressive campaigns, to truce offerings. After several previous betrayals, the Seminoles did not respond to the latter tactic. By the summer of 1857, the focus was on Billy Bowlegs in the Big Cypress. This effort was greatly aided by the use of shallow draft boats (Covington 1982). When found, villages were burned, fields were destroyed, horses and cattle were slaughtered, and Seminoles captured. As Seminole warriors were occupied hunting or scouting, captured villagers were typically women and children, the wounded, and the elderly. On November 19, 1857, Captain William Cone's company discovered an occupied village. Two Seminole guards were killed and five women, thirteen children, and a wounded warrior were taken prisoner (Covington 1982:72). Given the importance of remaining undetected, Seminole children were taught very early to be quiet: The first thing we're taught when we're little is to watch where we step, so as not to step on a snake. The next thing we're taught is to be quiet and good and mind the older people. They pointed out why we should be good. White men were the reason. They told us about the wars and how the Indians had to run off the islands in the saw grass in the Everglades, through the swamps, away from the white soldiers. A child who wasn't quiet and wasn't good might be left behind. And he would be carried back to the white folks by the soldiers. I can tell you, this scared you! —Buffalo Tiger (Reno 1994:103). After years of running, struggling to provide for his people, and mounting attacks when possible, Billy Bowlegs finally surrendered to federal forces at Fort Myers. On May 4, 1858, the ship Grey Cloud departed Fort Myers for Egmont Key with 38 warriors and 85 women and children. An additional 45 captives were boarded at Egmont, and the ship set sail for New Orleans where they would depart for Oklahoma. Although some Seminoles remained in the Big Cypress and the Everglades, the U.S. government did not deem it worthy to pursue them. This half-starved and battle weary population was left to eke out an existence in the south Florida swamps (Covington 1982). As settlers moved into the Big Cypress region, cattle ranching served as one of the earliest important economic activities reported in the region. Mavericks left by early Spanish explorers such as Desoto and Narva6z provided the stock for the herds raised by the mid -eighteenth century "Cowkeeper" Seminoles. As the Seminoles were pushed further south during the Seminole Wars and their cattle were either sold or left to roam, settlers captured or bought the cattle. By the late 1850s, the cattle industry of southwestern Florida was developing on a significant scale. By 1860, cattlemen from all over Florida drove their herds to Fort Brooke (Tampa) and Punta Rassa for shipment to Cuba, at a considerable profit. During this period, Jacob Summerlin became the first cattle baron of southwestern Florida. Known as the "King of the Crackers," Summerlin herds ranged from Ft. Meade to Ft. Myers (Covington 1957). P16006 Page 1040 of 1180 3-11 3.6 Civil War and Aftermath In 1861, Florida followed South Carolina's lead and seceded from the Union as a prelude to the American Civil War. Florida had much at stake in this war as evidenced in a report released from Tallahassee in June of 1861. It listed the value of land in Florida at $35,127,721 and the value of the slaves at $29,024,513 (Dunn 1989:59). Although the Union blockaded the coast of Florida during the war, the interior of the state saw very little military action. Florida became one of the major contributors of beef to the Confederate government (Shofner 1995:72). Summerlin originally had a contract with the Confederate government to market thousands of head a year at eight dollars per head. However, by driving his cattle to Punta Rassa and shipping them to Cuba, he received 25 dollars per head (Grismer 1946:83). In an attempt to limit the supply of beef transported to the Confederate government, Union troops stationed at Ft. Myers conducted several raids into the Peace River Valley to seize cattle and destroy ranches. In response, Confederate supporters formed the Cattle Guard Battalion, consisting of nine companies under the command of Colonel Charles J. Mannerlyn (Akerman 1976). The cattlemen and the farmers in the state lived simply. The typical home was a log cabin without windows or chinking, and settlers' diets consisted largely of fried pork, corn bread, sweet potatoes, and hominy. The lack of railway transport to other states, the federal embargo, and the enclaves of Union supporters and Union troops holding key areas such as Jacksonville and Ft. Myers prevented an influx of finished materials. As a result, settlement remained limited until after the Civil War. Immediately following the war, the South underwent a period of "Reconstruction" to prepare the Confederate States for readmission to the Union. The program was administered by the U.S. Congress, and on July 25, 1868, Florida officially returned to the Union. After the war ended, southerners who faced reconstruction and rebuilding saw Florida as a frontier full of opportunity and welcome. In southwest Florida, settlers first arrived by ones or twos, drifting through the area. Many of the early arrivals, however, were apparently "squatters" (Tebeau 1966:167). In most of the early settlements, development followed the earlier pattern with few settlers, one or two stores, and a lack of available overland transportation. In the 1870s, while the region was still part of Monroe County, settlement of Collier County evolved slowly and in isolated pockets. Immokalee, Everglades City, Chokoloskee, Marco, Caxambas, Goodland, and Naples served as the early centers for settlement in the existing Collier County (Tebeau 1966:96). These first permanent pioneers were farmers; the hunters and fishermen who had preceded them established only temporary camps. As the land was largely impassable, their market was Key West, a growing city which produced almost none of its own food (Tebeau 1966). The Homestead Act, created by Congress in 1862, allowed settlers to obtain title to 160 acres by residing on and working the land. The property had to first be surveyed by the government. It was not until the 1870s that W. L. Apthorp, and M. H. Clay surveyed land within Township 46 South, Range 29 East, including the current project area. Apthorp surveyed the exterior boundary for Township 46 South, Range 29 East in 1872; and Clay surveyed the interior section lines in 1873 (State of Florida 1872, 1873a). No historic features were depicted (State of Florida 1873b). They described the land as 3rd rate prairie (State of Florida n.d.: 783). When Billy Bowlegs departed for Oklahoma, Old Tiger Tail became the de facto leader of the remaining Seminoles. He lived at the headwaters of the Okaloacoochee Slough and his holdings included cattle, agricultural fields, and Corn Dance Grounds (West 1990). In 1891, under the direction of Amelia S. Quinton, the Women's National Indian Association resolved to establish a mission near Immokalee (then known as Allen's Place) (West 1990). Dr. J. E. Brecht and his wife were hired as missionaries, and the mission consisted of a residence, a schoolhouse, barn, and fenced P16006 Page 1041 of 1180 3-12 land. It was as this time that Allen's Place became known as Immokalee (Mikasuki for "home"). In 1896, trader Bill Brown established a post on the western rim of the Everglades. Over time, the missionary activities shifted from Immokalee to Brown's Landing where the Glade Cross Mission was established. As a result, when the Big Cypress Reservation boundaries were drawn, they included the Glade Cross Mission, but Immokalee was excluded. When the reservation was created, Bill Brown's son, Frank, who grew up amongst the Seminoles, was appointed the Agent for the reservation (Brown 1989). By the early 1880s, the State of Florida faced a financial crisis involving title to public lands. By act of Congress in 1850, the federal government turned over to the states for drainage and reclamation all "swamp and overflow land." Florida received approximately 10,000,000 acres. To manage that land and the 5,000,000 acres the state had received on entering the Union, the state legislature in 1851 created the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund. In 1855, the legislature established the actual fund (the Florida Internal Improvement Fund), in which state lands were to be held. The fund became mired in debt after the Civil War and under state law no land could be sold until the debt was cleared. In 1881, the Trustees started searching for a buyer capable of purchasing enough acreage to pay off the fund's debt and permit the sale of the remaining millions of acres that it controlled. Hamilton Disston, a member of a prominent Pennsylvania saw manufacturing family, in 1881, entered into agreement with the State of Florida to purchase four million acres of swamp and overflowed land for one million dollars. In exchange, he promised to drain and improve the land. This transaction, which became known as the Disston Purchase, enabled the distribution of large land subsidies to railroad companies, inducing them to begin extensive construction programs for new lines throughout the state. The purchase, although technically legal, was extremely generous with the designation "swamp and overflow land." Grismer (1946) estimates that at least half of the acreage was "high and dry." Disston and the railroad companies, in turn, sold smaller parcels of land to developers and private investors (Tebeau and Carson 1965:252). By the late 1880s, squatters were sufficient in numbers to protest when "their land" became the property of Hamilton Disston. Squatters could have purchased the land on which they had taken up residence and constructed improvements, for such a provision was made in the Disston contracts. But the early settlers believed they should each be permitted to homestead 160 acres of high and dry land. They had not been able to do so because the land was designated "swamp and overflowed" and title to it had been transferred to the state (Tebeau 1966:167). Disston's purchase included what is now Naples, and formed the Florida Land and Improvement Company. In 1886, Charles Adams bought a parcel from Disston which formed the basis for the Naples Town Improvement Company of Tallahassee. When John Williams and Walter Haldeman, both from Kentucky, decided "Naples" was the perfect place to develop a city, they bought the controlling interest in the Naples Town Improvement Company. They reorganized it, gave it new direction, and renamed it the Naples Company. With Haldeman directing the work, the company was ready, by December 1887, to embark into a new period of full-scale town building and improvement including a hotel, churches, and shops. The name "Naples" is attributed to numerous Florida developers' sales schemes to romanticize the Florida peninsula into a pleasant "Italian" seaside resort. Unfortunately, the only activity for the next few years was on paper - the buying and selling of land; little construction took place (Jamro and Lanterman 1985). In 1887, the land, which today is Collier County, became part of the newly created Lee County and remained such for 36 years until July 7, 1923 when Collier County was formed with Everglades City as county seat. It was named for Barron Gift Collier, a Memphis born businessman who promoted the region's development. All of Section 6 of the project area was purchased by the P16006 Page 1042 of 1180 3-13 Florida Commercial Company in 1896; the Carrabelle, Tallahassee, and Georgia Railroad Company purchased all of Section 7 in 1894 (State of Florida n.d.:265). 3.7 Twentieth Century From 1899 until 1914, the Naples Company struggled but the town slowly grew. In 1914, E. W. Crayton, an Ohio real estate developer with a successful track record in St. Petersburg, purchased the controlling interest in the company and renamed it the Naples Improvement Company. His direction is credited with leading Naples into the future. In 1925, Naples was incorporated and by 1927, reached by two railroad lines (Dean 1991). In 1911, successful New York City advertiser, Barron Gift Collier, visited Useppa Island. Collier was captivated, "Frankly, I was fascinated with Florida and swept off my feet by what I saw and felt. It was a wonderland with a magic climate, set in a frame of golden sunshine" (Collier County Museum 2010). Over the next decade, Collier amassed over one million acres in southwest Florida and his property stretched from the Ten Thousand Islands to Useppa Island, and from the coast to the Big Cypress and the Everglades (Clement n.d.). Collier was the largest landholder in the state and created a luxury resort, the Useppa Inn which was visited by corporate giants, presidents, movie stars, authors and sports celebrities. To facilitate development, Collier made a pledge to the Florida State Legislature to complete the Tamiami Trail from Tampa to Miami (Naples Daily News 1976). The roadway was finished in 1928 and as traffic increased, southwest Florida's tourist industry was born (Scupholm 1997). The construction of the Tamiami Trail had a tremendous effect on Seminole settlement patterns. The roadway interrupted traditional canoe routes and as a result, Seminoles were forced to use the Tamiami Canal, which was created during road construction. Many Seminole families moved closer to the Tamiami Canal to facilitate canoe transportation (Carr 2002). On July 7, 1923, the state legislature created Collier County and named Everglades City as county seat. Collier became the second largest county in Florida with a land area of 2,032 square miles. At the time of its creation, the county consisted of pine and cypress land and extensive swampland. The towns within the county, Immokalee, Naples, Marco, Caxambas, Chokoloskee, Deep Lake, and Everglades City, were all small settlements separated by almost inaccessible terrain. Improvements in transportation include the 1921 Atlantic Coast Line (ACL) Railway Company's extension south from LaBelle to Immokalee. The town took on new importance and became a center for inland activity in Collier County (Tebeau 1966). While Barron Collier was promoting the Tamiami Trail, he and his supporters were also making an effort to open a direct highway route from Immokalee to the county seat of Everglades City. By 1923, an unimproved road from LaBelle through Immokalee, terminating at Deep Lake, was depicted on a Florida State Map (Kendrick 1964). This road was completed between Immokalee and Everglades City in the early 1920s (FPS 1986). Collier County induced the ACL to continue its line south to Everglades City around 1927. The two projects linked the town with outer areas of the county and the Tamiami Trail. With the arrival of the railroad and road Immokalee became a center for ranching, farming, and lumbering (Tebeau 1966). In 1923, Collier County had one of the largest stands of virgin cypress and pine timber in the country (Tebeau 1966). Roads leading into the Everglades were completed in the 1920s, enabling logging companies to exploit the region's cypress (Klinkenberg 1994). From the 1920s to the late 1950s, steam powered mills cut cypress board, which was valued for its durability and imperviousness to water. "Swamp Loggers" would fell the trees and oxen and mules would pull the downed trees to temporary tram railways where they were loaded for transport to the nearby mills. P16006 Page 1043 of 1180 3-14 Logging activities in the Big Cypress Swamp and Fakahatchee Strand were prevalent in the 1940s in response to wartime needs (US Fish and Wildlife n.d.). The cypress was used in the construction of P.T. Boats, and, later, was shipped to Europe to supply the post-war rebuilding efforts (Klinkenberg 1994). Two of the companies with logging operations in the area were the Lee Tidewater Cypress Company and the C. J. Jones Logging Company. The logging industry required the construction of rail lines traversed by steam locomotives, which resulted in the establishment of a number of saw mills and lumber towns within the region. The largest of these towns was Jerome, located off of present-day State Road 29, north of US 41 (Tamiami Trail) (Klinkenberg 1994). Two mills, one at Naples and the other at Bonita Springs, reached into the timber lands from the west coast (Tebeau 1966:252). However, as a result of heavy lumbering activities from the 1940s to 1957, much of the trees were cleared (FDEP n.d.; Tebeau 1966; US Fish and Wildlife n.d.). When the cypress supply was exhausted, logging establishments became ghost towns, and the rail lines were abandoned, leaving only remnant segments of trails and ditches. Barron Collier, who promoted the region's development and the completion of the Tamiami Trail with his personal fortune, brought modern communications, roads, and railroads (Collier County Museum 2010). His promotions eventually opened up the area's enormous agricultural and resort potential, but modest signs of growth were halted by the Great Depression. The number of residents in 1925 of 1,256 grew to only 2,883 by 1930 (Tebeau 1966:212). By the mid-1930s, federal programs, implemented by the Roosevelt administration, started employing large numbers of construction workers, helping to revive the economy of the state. The programs were instrumental in the construction of parks, bridges, and public buildings. However, Collier County's economy and population remained at a virtual standstill until the end of WWII when a new wave of national prosperity sent thousands of people to Florida (Dean 1991). In the late 1940s, the agricultural thrust in Collier County began with approximately 640 cultivated acres along SR 29 near Ochopee-Copeland. By the 1970s, citrus, watermelons, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers were the largest producing crops in the county. Other crops included squash, cantaloupes, melons, potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, eggplant, corn, beans, and okra (Naples Daily News 1973). Like many Florida communities, World War 11 changed the face of Naples and later added to its growth. Largely, the post -World War II development of Collier County is similar to that of the rest of America: increasing numbers of automobiles and asphalt, an interstate highway system, suburban sprawl, and strip development along major state highways. The county, like most of Florida, experienced a population boom in the 1950s. Florida's population increased from 1,897,414 in 1940 to 1950 in 2,771,305. Collier County's population grew from 5,082 in 1940 to 6,488 in 1950 (Forstall 1995). After the war, car ownership increased, making the American public more mobile, making vacations more inexpensive and easier. Many who had served at Florida's military bases during World War II also returned with their families to live. As veterans returned, the trend in new housing focused on the development of small tract homes in new subdivisions. In 1949, Naples officially became a city with strict zoning laws promoting a "Naples Image" which denoted homes and lifestyles at the higher end of the scale. The county seat was moved to Naples in 1959 (Dean 1991). Based on maps from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 1954 Soil Survey for Collier County, Florida, a series of trails and tram lines once spread into the swampy interior region of the County from the west coast. The railroad grades in the region appear to have led to a north -south trending line near the coast, running several miles inland. These appear to have been part of the County's cypress and pine timbering industry (USDA 1954). P16006 Page 1044 of 1180 3-15 The agricultural growth of the county led to an influx of migrant workers into the area. In 1966, Collier County began its first effort to house these workers. The Farm Workers Village, located along SR 29, in Section 11 of Township 47 South, Range 29 East, was a 491-unit apartment complex operated by the county Housing Authority, it provided affordable housing to the workers as well as daycare, postal services, a convenience store, laundromat, and educational facilities (Naples Daily News 1991). The number of permanent Collier County residents grew rapidly from 6,488 in 1950 to 85,000 by 1980. In the 1950s and 1960s, US 41 was widened by adding limerock from nearby quarries. In 1967, SR 84 (Alligator Alley) or the Everglades Parkway, which lies south of the project area, was built. In 1970, FDOT appointed an advisory panel to evaluate possible routes across south Florida for the proposed I-75. The plans were prepared by 1972 and the Interstate was built thereafter, utilizing existing lanes from Alligator Alley for eastbound traffic. Two westbound lanes were built on the vacant strip of land between Alligator Alley and the canal (Duever et al. 1985). 3.8 Proiect Specific Information. The 1953 aerial photos of the project area available from the Publication of Archival, Library, and Museum materials (PALMM) indicate that native vegetation had been removed by 1953 and replaced with agricultural fields. By 1968, the historic aerials show that all of the project area had been converted into agricultural fields (Figure 3.2). P16006 Page 1045 of 1180 3-16 1-1-53 _.. .,.

Page 1046 of 1180 4-1 4.0 RESEARCH CONSIDERATIONS 4.1 Background Research and Literature Review A review of archaeological and historical literature, records and other documents and data pertaining to the project area was conducted. The focus of this research was to ascertain the types of cultural resources known in the project area and vicinity, their temporal/cultural affiliations, site location information, and other relevant data. This included a review of sites listed in the NRHP, the FMSF, cultural resource survey reports, books, articles, and maps. In addition to the NRHP and FMSF, other information relevant to the historical research was obtained from the files of ACI. No individuals with knowledge of historic or aboriginal activities specific to the project area were encountered during this project; thus, no informant interviews were conducted. It should be noted that the digital FMSF data used in this report were obtained in February 2016. However, input may be several months behind receipt of reports and site files. Thus, the findings of the background research phase of investigation may not be current with actual work performed in the general project area. In keeping with standard archaeological conventions, metric measurements are used in this section and the following report section. 4.2 Archaeological and Historical Considerations Archaeological Considerations: For archaeological survey projects of this kind, specific research designs are formulated prior to initiating fieldwork to delineate project goals and strategies. Of primary importance is an attempt to understand, based on prior investigations, the spatial distribution of known resources. Such knowledge serves not only to generate an informed set of expectations concerning the kinds of sites which might be anticipated to occur within the project corridor, but also provides a valuable regional perspective and, thus, a basis for evaluating any newly discovered sites. Background research indicated that according to the FMSF, no prehistoric or historic archaeological sites have been recorded within three miles of the project area. A review of the Collier County archaeological predictive maps (ACI 1992, 1999), countywide syntheses by the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy (Carr 1988; Dickel 1991), as well as the Cultural Resources Overview and Survey Strategy: Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (New South 2008) "...which found that the most effective method used by archaeologists for isolating probability areas in southern Florida has involved the interpretation of historic black and white aerial photographs. These provide cross-references for a changing landscape through time" (New South 2008:53). In general, sites are most often found on discrete areas of higher ground relative to the surrounding terrain - such as hammock or hammock areas which once supported oak/palm hammocks, and typically situated near fresh water such as a marsh, seasonal depression, pond or a slough. Previous CRAS conducted in the general area were prepared for improvements to SR 29, and improvements to SR 82 (ACI 2009; 2004 and 2005 and Janus Research 2007), All these produced negative results for prehistoric or historic archaeological sites. P16006 Page 1047 of 1180 4-2 Based upon these data and soil type information from the soil surveys archaeological/ historical site location predictive models (ACI 1992, 1999; USDA 1954, 1998), it was anticipated that the survey parcel has a low to moderate potential for prehistoric archaeological sites. The potential for historic period archaeological sites was considered very low. Historical Considerations: A review of the FMSF data obtained in February 2016 indicated an absence of historic structures (50 years of age or older) within or near the project area. However, 8CR00979, SR 82, has been recorded (Janus 2007), and determined ineligible for listing in the NRHP. The 1954 soil survey depicts no structures along either road (USDA 1954), although several structures may have been located on the property after 1973 (Figure 4.1). 4.3 Field Methodology Archaeological field methodology consisted of surface reconnaissance and shovel testing conducted at a 10 meters (m) (33 feet [ft]), 25 in (82 ft), 50 in (165 ft), 100 in (324 ft) intervals as well as judgmentally. Shovel tests were circular, and measured approximately 50 centimeters (cm) (20 inches [in]) in diameter by 1 in (3.3 ft) in depth, unless impeded by water or limestone. All soil removed from the shovel tests was screened through a 0.64 cm (0.25 in) mesh hardware cloth to maximize the recovery of artifacts. Following the recording of relevant data such as stratigraphic profile and artifact finds, all test pits were refilled. Historic structures field methodology consisted of a reconnaissance survey of the area to determine the location of any historic properties 50 years of age or older, and to ascertain if such resources within the project area could be eligible for listing in the NRHP. If structures were found, an in-depth study of the identified historic resources would be done, photographs taken, and information needed for completion of the FMSF forms gathered, including a physical description and interviews with residents and other individuals knowledgeable about the history of the area. 4.4 Unexpected Discoveries It was anticipated that if human burial sites such as Indian mounds, lost historic and prehistoric cemeteries, or other unmarked burials or associated artifacts were found, then the provisions and guidelines set forth in Chapter 872.05, FS (Florida's Unmarked Burial Law) would be followed. 4.5 Laboratory Methods/Curation All recovered cultural materials were initially cleaned and sorted by artifact class. Lithics debitage was subjected to a limited technological analysis focused on ascertaining the stages of stone tool production. Flakes and non -flake production debris (i.e. cores, blanks, tested cobbles) were measured, and examined for raw material types and absence or presence of thermal alteration. Flakes were classified into four types (primary decortication, secondary decortication, non-decortication, and shatter) based on the amount of cortex on the dorsal surface and the shape (White 1963). The project -related records such as aerials, field notes, and photographs and the artifacts will be maintained at ACI in Sarasota, unless the client requests otherwise.

Cal Page 1049 of 1180 5-1 5.0 SURVEY RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS 5.1 Archaeological Results Archaeological field survey included both ground surface reconnaissance and the excavation of 159 shovel tests within the Immokalee Sand Mind project area property (Figures 5.1-5.3). These were placed at a 25 m (82 ft), 50 m (165 ft), 100 m (324 ft) intervals as well as judgmentally. Shovel tests were also placed at 10 m (33 ft) intervals around positive shovel tests to bound them. As a result, no archaeological sites were found but two archaeological occurrences were found. According to the FMSF, an AO is defined as "the presence of one or two nondiagnostic artifacts, not known to be distant from their original context which fit within a hypothetical cylinder of 30 meters diameter, regardless of depth below surface." Thus, occurrences are not recorded as sites. But they are evidence of prehistoric activity in the general project area but not considered eligible for listing in the NRHP. The two AO's are described below. A0#1: This AO was recorded in the northwest quarter of Section 7, Township 46 South, Range 29 East (Figure 5.1). Elevation is approximately 35 ft above mean sea level (amsl). It is described as a medium (1-2 cm in length), non thermally altered chert waste flake found between 0- 40 cm below surface in grey brown sand in the southwest corner of the project area in a moderate probability area. No additional material was found within the shovel tests placed at close intervals. AO#2: This AO was recorded in the northeast quarter of Section 6, Township 46 South, Range 29 East (Figure 5.1). Elevation is approximately 40 ft amsl. It is described as a medium (1-2 cm in length), non thermally altered chert waste flake found between 0-40 cm below surface in white sand in the northeast corner of the project area in a moderate probability area. No additional material was found within the shovel tests placed at close intervals. 5.2 Historical The historical resource survey of the project area revealed an absence of historic structures (50 years of age or older). Thus, no structures listed or considered eligible for listing in the NRHP are located within the property. 5.3 Recommendations Based on the results of the background research, field survey and analysis, development of the Immokalee Sand Mine property will not impact any significant cultural resources. No further work is recommended.

The review was conducted in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and its implementing regulations in 36 CFR Part 800: Protection of Historic Properties. In response to a previous application to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for this development, our office requested to FDEP that a professional cultural resource assessment survey be conducted (c.f. DHR No, 2010-02496, June 3, 2010). However, as of the date of this letter, no Bard copy of a survey report associated with this project has been received by the Division of Historical Resources Compliance and Review Section. Therefore, our request for a professional survey prior to any ground disturbing activities still stands. The resultant survey report should conform to the provisions of Chapter 1 A-46, Florida Administrative Code, and should be sent to our office upon completion. The report will help us complete the Section 106 review process and provide concurrence on federal determinations of effect, and recommend any necessary avoidance or mitigation measures. The Division of Historical Resources cannot endorse specific archaeological or historic preservation consultants. However, the American Cultural Resources Association maintains a listing of professional consultants at www.aera-crm.or , and the Register of Professional Archaeologists maintains a membership directory at www,r anet.or . The Division encourages checking references and recent work history. If you have any questions, please contact Florence McCullough, Historic Sites Specialist, by email at Florenee.AlcCarllougli dos.tnyjlorida.coni, or by telephone at 850.245.6333 or 800.847,7278.

The State Historic Preservation Officer is to advise and assist state and federal agencies when identifying historic properties, assessing effects upon them, and considering alternatives to avoid or minimize adverse effects, The project area has not been subjected to a systematic professional archaeological or historical investigation and contains environmental conditions consistent with those found at other archaeological sites in Collier County. For these reasons, it is the recommendation of this agency that a professional perform a cultural resource reconnaissance survey of the property, including judgmental subsurface testing, in order to assess the probability of the presence of historic properties. The purpose of this survey will be to locate and assess any cultural resources that may be present. The resultant survey report must conform to the specification set forth in Chapter 1 A- 46, Florida Administrative Cade, and be forwarded to this agency in order to complete the reviewing process for this proposed project and its impacts. The results of the analysis will determine if significant cultural resources would be disturbed by this development. In addition, if significant remains are located, the data described in the report and the consultant's conclusions will assist this office in determining measures that must be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse impacts to archaeological sites and historical properties listed, or eligible for listing in the NRHp, or otherwise significant. 500 S.

Bowman 95 Encore Way Naples, FL 34110 The applicant is requesting approval of a Commercial Excavation Permit to modify the previously approved Commercial Excavation Permit (PL20160000760; EXP 60.137) to excavate and remove an additional 4,200,000 cubic yards (cy) of material from the site. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: The subject property is located in Sections 6 and 7, Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Collier County, and within Open Lands within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSAO). The expansion is located in the northeast portion of the project and is approximately 91.04 acres in size. (See location map on the following page) Page 1101 of 1180 PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: The applicant wishes to expand operations of an existing commercial excavation, the Immokalee Sand Mine. Pursuant to Section 22-110(b)(2) of the Collier County Code of Laws, applications for commercial excavation permits shall be reviewed by the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) for recommendation and approved by the Board of County Commissioners.

The property to the north is in Hendry County. All of the surrounding properties are utilized for active agricultural operations. Site access is provided through the existing mine entrance on SR 82. A haul route map is attached, indicating the historical haul route, which is expected to continue under this application. The closest residential structure is approximately 4,750 feet north of the northern boundary of the expansion (residence in Hendry County). Page 1102 of 1180 ZOMNc: .A-uHO-RLI+AT Aerial Exhibit provided by Bowman HISTORY AND PERMITS: This project is within the Open Lands of the RLSAO, and pursuant to the County's Comprehensive Plan for the RLSA, the proposed excavation requires approval of a Conditional Use petition. Applications for Conditional Use (PL20240012171) and Variance (PL20240012172) petitions are presented as companion items. On October 11, 2016, the BCC approved Commercial Excavation Permit 60.137 (PL20160000760), which was the original permit that allowed the excavation of 70 million cubic yards of fill material. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) CONSISTENCY: This project has been found to be consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the GMP, including specifically the three elements analyzed below: 1) FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT LAND USE ELEMENT (FLUE): The subject property is consistent with the FLUE. The subject property is designated Agricultural / Rural and within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSAO), as shown on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and in the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the GMP. On the Stewardship Overlay Map, part of the FLUM, the site is designated as "Open." The "A" zoning Page 1103 of 1180 district allows a conditional use for an extraction or earth mining use, as listed in the Land Development Code (LDC) Chapter 2.03.0l.A.l.c.1. The FLUE states the goal of the RLSAO is to address long-term needs of residents and property owners within the Immokalee Area Study boundary of the Collier County Rural and Agricultural Assessment by protecting agricultural activities, preventing the premature conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural uses, directing incompatible uses away from wetlands and upland habitat, enabling the conversion of rural land to other uses in appropriate locations, discouraging urban sprawl, and encouraging development that implements creating land use planning techniques. RLSA Policies 1.4 and 1.5 provide that properties within the RLSA may develop per the "Baseline Standards" (uses allowed by the underlying "A" zoning and Agricultural / Rural FLUM designation), which includes earth mining by conditional use. 2) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT: Transportation Planning staff has reviewed the proposed Commercial Excavation and has approved the project, including the stipulations of approval listed in the Conditional Use, including the limiting of traffic to a maximum of 26 pm peak hour, two-way trips, for this expansion, per the conditions in the proposed Conditional Use (PL20240012171). 3) CONSERVATION AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT (CCME): Environmental Planning staff have reviewed this petition and confirmed that the CCME does not apply, as the FLUE only requires the property to comply with the RLSA environmental regulations. Therefore, the property is not required to meet the environmental policies of the CCME. STAFF ANALYSIS: Staff has completed a comprehensive evaluation of this petition, including the criteria upon which a recommendation must be based. Section 22-110(b)(2) of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances specifies the requirements for the Commercial Excavation Permit. The specific criteria are as follows: A. The excavation will not interfere with the natural function of any sanitary, storm, or drainage system, or natural flow way, whether public or private, so as to create flooding or public health hazards or jeopardize the functions of the natural resources and environment of Collier County. Staff Comment: Staff has reviewed the Excavation Permit and has verified that this excavation will not interfere with the natural function of any sanitary, storm, or drainage system, or natural flow way, whether public or private, so as to create flooding or public health hazards or jeopardize the functions of the natural resources and environment of Collier County. B. Dust or noise generated by the excavation will not cause a violation of any applicable provisions of this article. Rock crushing operations or material stockpiles that will be adjacent to any existing residential area may require separate county approval. It is anticipated that these activities will not occur during this operation. Page 1104 of 1180 Staff Comment: There are seven property owners within 300 feet of the property boundary, one of whom is the owner of the subject property. An attached aerial depicts the location. Pursuant to Section 22-110 (c) of the Code of Laws and Ordinances, letters have been sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the site advising them of this petition and the EAC and BCC meeting dates. Additionally, signs will be posted in the area providing notice of the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners. The applicant has provided a Dust Control Plan within the Excavation Plans to provide reasonable assurances of dust control. An existing haul road with stabilized subgrade and a tread wash for trucks exiting the property currently exists onsite. Considering the location of the subject site and the commercial excavation currently operating, there is no additional noise anticipated. C. The excavation will not adversely affect groundwater levels, water quality, hydro period, or surface water flow ways. The County Manager or designee may require the applicant to monitor the quality of the water in the excavation and adjacent ground and surface waters. Under no circumstances shall the excavation be conducted in such a manner as to violate Collier County or applicable State of Florida water quality standards. Staff Comment: Staff has determined that the excavation will not adversely affect groundwater levels, water quality, hydro -period, or surface water flow ways. D. The excavation will be constructed so as to not cause an apparent safety hazard to persons or property. Staff Comment: Staff has determined the excavation follows OSHA guidelines and the County Code of Laws with respect to the excavation operation so as to not cause an apparent safety hazard to persons or property. E. The excavation does not conflict with the Growth Management Plan or land development regulations adopted pursuant thereto, nor does it conflict with existing zoning regulations. Special criteria and approval procedures may be necessary for projects within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern. Staff Comment: Staff has determined that the excavation does not conflict with the Growth Management Plan or Land Development Code regulations. The project is not located within the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern. F. In cases where a wetland is no longer capable of performing environmental functions or pending environmental value, or in cases where it is determined that no reasonable alternative exists other than disrupting a wetland, certain alterations may be allowed, except as otherwise authorized through previous county review processes. Staff Comment: The Environmental Data indicates the property for the proposed mine consists entirely of lands that have been in active agriculture, and no native vegetation exists within the boundary of the mine. Therefore, no wetlands will be impacted. G. Flow of water within and through preserved wetlands shall not be impeded. Page 1105 of 1180 Staff Comment: There are no wetlands within the boundary of the proposed mine. There are no Collier County required preserves within the boundary of the mine, as the land has been historically cleared for agricultural use and maintained clear of native vegetation (LDC 4.08.05.J.2). H. Appropriate sediment control devices (hay bales, silt screens, etc) shall be employed to prevent sedimentation within the wetland pursuant to the design requirements of Section 10.02.02 of the Land Development Code. Any building site adjacent to a wetland and elevated by filling, must employ the same erosion control devices. Fill must be stabilized using sod, seed, or mulch. Staff Comment: Staff has reviewed the Commercial Excavation Permit and the plans indicate appropriate measures to prevent sedimentation and erosion control. This project has been found to be consistent with the requirements of Chapter 22, Article IV of the Code of Laws and Ordinances. COUNTY ATTORNEY OFFICE REVIEW: The County Attorney's Office reviewed the staff report EX-PL20200002201 on December 23, 2025. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Collier County Planning Commission, acting as the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC), forward Petition PL20200002201 to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation for approval, including the excavation permit conditions included in the Conditional Use stipulations of approval.

INTRODUCTION Immokalee Sand LLC seeks to amend the mining footprint of an existing sand mine with associated sorting and processing facilities just north and west of the town of Immokalee. The mine project is referred to as the Immokalee Sand Mine (Mine) and encompasses approximately 896.70 acres situated in portions of Sections 6 and 7, Township 46 South, Range 29 East, Collier County, Florida. The Sand Mine is located immediately north of State Road 82 and about 1 mile west of the intersection of State Road 29 and State Road 82. A general location map is provided as Figure 1. The original permitting showed the project area as 897.9 acres, but subsequent survey revisions have amended the overall acreage to 896.7 acres. The project is located on existing agricultural lands. Citrus groves originally composed approximately half of the property while row crop and pasture comprised the other half. The citrus trees on the property were removed in 2013 and the land not currently being mined is maintained as cattle pasture through periodic mowing. Citrus, row crop, and cattle grazing operations surround the property for several miles in all directions. Another sand mine is located approximately 1.5 miles to the south of this project. The proposed expansion to the Mine project will add approximately 109.6 acres to the currently permitted footprint. This expansion area had been left out of the original permitting to allow for a potential wildlife corridor that was under consideration. The wildlife corridor was eventually located further north and west of the project site, so the proposed expansion area is no longer needed for any wildlife corridor (see Section 2.2 for additional information on corridor). Approximately 6.6 acres of the expansion area are isolated man made wetland. Mitigation for these wetland impacts will be via purchase of mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank. This report frequently refers to lands within the Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary as the "Mine property" or "Mine site" while lands within the boundaries of the on -site preserve area are referred to as the "conservation area" or "preservation area". Taken together, the lands contained within the Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary are typically referred to herein as the "project lands". The preserve area associated with the project was established during the original permitting for the project. Appendix D outlines the enhancement and protection activities proposed within the on -site preserve area that were established during this earlier permitting. No additional preserve lands are proposed or required in association with this expansion. The preserve management plan also outlines the monitoring efforts that will be done to track and document the success of the enhancement efforts. It should be noted though that this area is not being used as mitigation for the proposed impacts. Impacts will be mitigated for by purchase of credits from an approved mitigation bank. This document provides information concerning the proposed Immokalee Sand Mine expansion project as it relates to natural resources and environmental issues. It was written to support applications submitted to Collier County for a Conditional Use zoning determination and to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) seeking a modification to the current Environmental Resource Permit (Permit No. MMR-0297420-009) that has been issued for the project. Page 3 of 36 Page 1120 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS (PRE -DEVELOPMENT) 2.1 VEGETATION ASSOCIATIONS The existing habitat types (based on FDOT FLUCFCS codes) are shown in Figure 2 and are further described in Appendix B. The description below lists each of the existing major land use categories and their extent as mapped on the Mine property while Appendix B contains a table listing all the unique FLUCFCS map units present on the Mine property and their extent. Of the total 896.70 acres contained within the mine property boundary, 95.8% classify as uplands (858.8 ac.), 2.6% classify as other surface waters (23.6 ac.; ponds and drainage ditches), and 1.6% classify as wetlands (14.3 ac.). The majority of the property (46%) consists of cattle pasture that is currently maintained by mowing while another 40% is currently dedicated to the mining operations. 2.2 NATIVE HABITAT Of the total 896.70 acres contained within the mine property boundary, The breakdown of habitats at the time of the original approval was; 94.7% classified as uplands (849.6 ac.), 3.6% classified as other surface waters (32.7 ac.; ponds and drainage ditches), and 1.7% classified as wetlands (15.6 ac.). The majority of the property (55%) consisted of citrus grove while another 31 % was actively farmed row crop fields. These acreages have been amended with the current application due to the mining activities that are currently underway. For the purpose of establishing the required native preserve, the original acreages are utilized. There were a total of 13.3 acres of habitats (i.e. vegetation associations or FLUCFCS categories) on the Mine property that were classified as native vegetation when the project was originally approved. The proposed project expansion will impact some (approximately 44%) of the existing native vegetation areas on the Mine property. The wetland areas that will be impacted are shown in Figure 6 while Appendix A Table 5 provides a listing of the total extent of the proposed impacts to the wetlands. The original project included establishment of a single on -site preserve (the "Preserve" or "native vegetation preserve") in the southwest corner of the site. This preserve contains a total of approximately 9.9 acres and was identified as the location where existing on -site native vegetation will be preserved. The Preserve is shown in Figures 5 and 6. Figure 7 illustrates the existing native vegetation habitats (FLUCFCS mapping units) that will be preserved on the Mine property within the native vegetation preserve. Table 6 lists the existing habitat types, for both native and non-native vegetation, contained within the boundaries of the proposed Preserve along with the total extent of each preserved habitat (FLUCFCS) type. Native vegetation preservation requirements applicable to the Mine property are addressed in Policy 6.1.3 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) of the County's Growth Management Plan (GMP) and in Policy 5.5.2.a.iii of Section D, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay or RLSA, of the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the GMP. These requirements are echoed in Section 4.08.05.J.2 of the County's Land Development Code (LDC), which indicates that if listed species are observed on the project site then a minimum of 40% of the native vegetation on site must be retained. The proposed on -site Preserve will preserve and protect a total of 7.4 acres of the existing vegetation present on the Mine property. This equates to preservation of 56 % of the total existing native vegetation on -site. The on -site Preserve has been protected by placing it into a conservation easement pursuant to Page 4 of 36 Page 1121 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 LDC 3.05.07.H.1.d (i.e. in a conservation easement dedicated to the County (OR 6069 PG 1960). Both Category 1 and 2 invasive exotics identified in the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's (EPPC) "List of Invasive Species" will be eradicated and controlled throughout the Preserve, in accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.g.ii. Following completion of the initial exotic eradication efforts, shrubs, and ground cover species as appropriate to the wetland and upland prairie habitat will be planted as necessary within the Preserve areas that do not presently constitute native vegetation habitats to restore these areas to native. Supplemental plantings will be conducted in general accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.f. Through the restoration of current non- native vegetation areas, the entire 9.9-acre Preserve will be comprised of native vegetation associations. The post-restoration/enhancement communities are anticipated to be a mixture of FLUCFCS 310 (dry prairie) and FLUCFCS 643 (wetland prairie). A review of historic aerial photographs for the region indicated that by 1973, agricultural clearing and development had encompassed the entire area currently under consideration. Sometime after 1973, the row crop field area previously occupying the western half of the site was converted to citrus trees. The original approvals for the site identified a 25.9 acre area in the northeast corner of the property for preservation in conjunction with a potential wildlife corridor along the northern property boundary. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) was working on a "least -cost -pathway' analysis to determine the best route for a wildlife corridor between Corkscrew Marsh and Hendry County lands. Barron Collier (BCP) had offered the northern portion of this property for a corridor if no other alternatives were developed and if it was able to be tied into other properties, owned by others, that connected to Corkscrew Marsh (Swanson, K., D. Land, R. Kautz, and R. Kawula. 2008. Use of least -cost pathways to identify key road segments for Florida panther conservation. Fish and Wildlife Research Institute Technical Report TR-13. ii + 44 p.). Since that time, the FWC finalized their study and, in conjunction with the Habitat Conservation Plan review and permitting, identified two corridors further north and east of the project site. These identified corridors tie into wildlife crossings that are included in the SR82 road widening project. As such, the northern portion of this property is no longer needed for a wildlife corridor so the area previously excluded from the project design can now be included back into the overall footprint and included in the mining program. As a result, the permitted County preserve and native habitat retention has been located in the south west corner of the site contiguous to wetlands and a small native habitat area on the adjacent property to the west. 2.3 EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY & DRAINAGE PATTERNS Figure 3 illustrates the pre -mining topography and general surface water drainage patterns. The majority of the mine property consists of actively managed agricultural operations. The pasture areas are graded to drain into internal field ditches and/or into perimeter rim ditches surrounding groups of fields. The larger fields are bordered by large perimeter containment berms. Because of these perimeter berms, no runoff naturally drains from the property. All water from the site is diverted through the perimeter ditches to the eastern side of the property where it outfalls into another pump controlled ditch. When these pumps are operating, water is thrown off site to the east where it enters another ditch and eventually spreads out into more natural sheet flow conditions. Page 5 of 36 Page 1122 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 The water table (water levels) within the crop fields is strictly managed and controlled. Wells with in -pumps in conjunction with throwout pumps at various locations (see Figure 3) are the primary means of regulating water levels within the fields. There are no significant off -site flows entering the site since the entire proposed excavation site is largely isolated from off site flows by the existing farming berms and associated agricultural operations. The site is surrounded by agricultural lands in active production which are also managed by similar agricultural water management systems. 2.4 WETLANDS AND OTHER SURFACE WATERS Qualified Turrell, Hall & Associates, Inc. environmental staff inspected the project lands for the purpose of delineating wetlands and other surface waters. The wetland delineation methodologies and criteria set forth by the state (in Chapter 62-340, FAC, Delineation of the Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual) were followed in determining whether an area classified as a wetland or other surface water and in delineating the limits (boundaries) of potential jurisdictional wetlands and other surface waters. Turrell, Hall & Associates ecologists flagged the boundaries of those areas which classified as wetlands according to state and federal guidelines. There were very few cases where it appeared wetland lines established based on the state methodology would differ from those established based on the federal (USACE) methodology. Where this did occur, the feature boundary was flagged based on the landward -most extent of the two methods - in other words, the methodology that produced the greatest extent of wetlands was used to flag the wetland line (the "safe uplands line" approach). The wetland boundaries flagged (marked) by staff ecologists were subsequently survey -located. Figure 2 depicts wetlands present on the project lands and immediately adjacent areas. Within the Mine property there are 3 isolated wetlands that encompass a total of 14.3 acres or about 1.6% of the Mine property. These "on -site" wetlands are identified as hatched areas on Figure 2.. Table 3 of Appendix A provides a listing of the various existing FLUCFCS types mapped in the on -site wetlands as depicted in Figure 2. Refer to Appendix B for a description of the various FLUCFCS categories. The following paragraphs provide a general description of each of the three on -site wetlands. Wetland 643 (7.7 acres; in southwest corner of mine property) This wetland is located in the southwest corner of the property. The wetland is adjacent to wetland areas to the west and small areas within the road right-of-way. Overall, this wetland and the adjacent wetland areas are isolated by the existing road and agricultural operations. Based on a review of historic aerial photos and field observations, it appears this has always been a depressional wetland area. Wetland 643 is primarily a wet prairie not dominated by any single vegetation but instead composed of a wide mixture of ruderal and grassy vegetation including dog fennel, beak rush, maidencane, soft rush, flat sedges, primrose willow, red root, crinum lily, and several other mixed species. Exotic species such as para grass and torpedo grass are also present. Active mowing has kept woody types of vegetation out of this area. It appears to have been used for staging and storage activities in the past. Approximately 6 to 8 inches of standing water can be present for short periods when the area water table is allowed to remain high. This area has been identified and set aside as preserve area to meet local (Collier County) preservation requirements. It is not being used as mitigation for any wetland impacts. Page 6 of 36 Page 1123 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 Wetland 618 (5.6 acres; in east central portion of the property) This wetland is completely surrounded and isolated by agricultural berms, disturbed lands, and drainage ditches. Indications are that the central portion of the wetland, an area dominated by willows, was historically a wetland but that the surrounding portions to the north and east were once uplands. Today, these outer portions of the wetland consist of areas of dense Brazilian pepper, and a scrub/shrub community composed of various shrubby species such as primrose willows and Brazilian pepper. The entire wetland can be inundated for significant periods when the water table in the surrounding fields is allowed to remain high. This wetland is being proposed to be impacted under the current expansion modification request. Wetland 640 0.0 acre; in the northeastern portion of the property) This small wetland is entirely man-made. It was created from historic upland areas when the area was used as cattle pasture. The depressional areas appear to have originally been dug as watering holes that were later incorporated into the water retention area for the fields. The wetland hydroperiods are completely dictated by the active manipulation of water levels in the adjacent drainage ditches and pasture fields. This area will be impacted under the current expansion request. 2.4.1 WETLAND SEASONAL HIGH WATER TABLE AND HYDROPERIOD Ecologists attempted to estimate the existing seasonal high water table (SHWT) elevation in each of the wetlands on the Mine property. Because of the historical and ongoing water level manipulation estimation of SHWT was difficult. The types of wetlands present and the heavy hydrological manipulation associated with the agricultural operations resulted in few reliable indicators that could be used. The physical and biological indicators used in the determination included water stains, drift lines, tussocks, adventitious rooting, buttressed tree trunks, lichen lines, etc. The estimated SHWT elevations appear to be split between the northeastern portion of the property and the majority (remainder) of the site. Wetland 643 SHWT appeared to be about 36.0 to 36.5 feet NGVD (34.8 to 35.3 NAVD) while wetlands 618, and 640 appear to have a SHWT ranging from 34 feet to 35 feet NGVD (32.8 to 33.8 NAVD). Former historic SHWT elevations were essentially impossible to gage in the wetlands present on project lands. The hydroperiods in these wetlands have been altered by farming activities for so long that signs of the historic high water levels have vanished or are so faint and/or variable that they could not be estimated with sufficient certainty. One must remember that the existing SHWT elevations determined for wetlands on the Mine property do not necessarily reflect a "natural' hydroperiod. The water levels in these wetlands are governed by how the area water table is regulated in the surrounding agricultural fields. Using off -site wetlands to judge historical water levels will not work for this property because all of the surrounding lands have been exposed to the same types of hydrological manipulations as have occurred on this property. 2.4.2 OTHER SURFACE WATERS All the other surface waters (OSWs) on the Mine property are man-made agricultural drainage ditches and ponds that are an active part of the current agricultural surface water management system. Characteristics of these ditches are highly variable. Some are largely devoid of vegetation while others have patchy cover by native and exotic herbaceous species along side slopes and Page 7 of 36 Page 1124 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 ditch bottoms. Nuisance, exotic, and native woody species can also be present. Maintenance excavation is performed in these ditches and ponds as is occasional applications of herbicides, thereby altering vegetative cover following such events. Although "separate" ditches are mapped on the Mine property, most are hydraulically connected to one or more other ditch segments via pipes. There are also two on -site OSW ponds that have been mapped. One of these (SW-3) has a direct hydrologic connection to the on -site ditches. This pond has limited shoreline vegetation, mostly consisting of Brazilian pepper and other exotic species. The small pond in the north east portion of the site (SW-2) appears to be the by-product of past agricultural pumping activities and was also used as a cattle watering hole. This pond is very shallow and will dry down to the point that wetland marsh vegetation frequently fills in the pond when water levels are low. 2.4.3 JURISDICTIONAL STATUS OF WETLANDS AND OTHER SURFACE WATERS All of the wetlands and OSWs (drainage ditches and ponds) now present on the project lands were assumed to be FDEP jurisdictional. Wetland areas 640 is an isolated wetland surrounded by upland crop fields and berms, and there are no ditches bordering or in close proximity to this wetland that has any hydrologic connection with off -site wetlands or navigable Waters of the United States. This on -site wetland was assumed to not be USACE jurisdictional because of these factors. Wetland 643 has a direct connection to off -site wetlands but the total wetland area (on - site and off -site) is isolated by agricultural activities and the road right-of-way. Due to the lack of connectivity, this wetland was also assumed to not be USACE jurisdictional. Wetland 618 is a natural wetland connected to a small pond and also immediately adjacent to a ditch that has a direct connection to off -site ditches. This wetland (618) was judged to be USACE jurisdictional. 2.5 LISTED PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES A thorough survey for listed animal and plant species was originally conducted on the project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates biologists in 2008. Subsequent survey efforts have been conducted in 2012, 2019, 2020, and 2024. This listed species survey and its results are discussed in Appendix B. The listed animal species observed on project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates included American alligator, wood stork, snowy egret, tricolored heron, white ibis, sandhill crane, and crested caracara. A caracara nest was assumed to be located on the property in 2016 as a result of surveys done in conjunction with the SR 82 road widening. No caracara nesting has been observed in subsequent monitoring during nesting seasons. A sandhill crane nest was observed in SW-2 during the 2020 survey efforts. No other nesting or denning of listed species has been observed on the project site. No listed plant species were found on the project lands. Subsequent to the original field surveys in 2008, nesting surveys of the Mine property for crested caracaras and their nests have been conducted during the 2017-2018, 2019-2020, and is ongoing in the current 2024/25 nesting seasons. No caracara nests were located though caracaras were observed foraging on the Mine property. The methodology and results of this survey are also discussed in Appendix B. A few listed animal species, in addition to those documented on the project lands, have the potential to occurring in certain habitats present on project lands. These species are further discussed in Appendix B and include; indigo snake, gopher tortoise, gopher frog, roseate spoonbill, limpkin, burrowing owl, listed wading birds, peregrine falcon, Southeastern American kestrel, bald eagle, and Florida panther. The probability of these animals utilizing suitable habitats in project lands ranges from high to low depending upon the particular species (see discussion in Appendix B). It is improbable that any of these species currently reside or nest on Page 8 of 36 Page 1125 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 the project lands. It is highly unlikely that any listed plant species could be present on the project lands. 2.6 HISTORICAi./ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES During the initial permitting for this site, a letter was submitted to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (DHR) requesting DHR to examine the Florida Master Site File for any previously recorded archaeological/historical resources documented on the project lands. DHR responded in a letter dated 9/25/08 that the Florida Master Site File listed no previously recorded cultural resources on the subject property. A Cultural Resources Survey of the site was conducted in 2016 which did not find any evidence of cultural or archaeological resources on the property. A copy of the Survey is provided as Appendix E. The Collier County Long Range Planning Department's "Index Map of Historical/Archaeological Probability of Collier County, Florida", published on 5/5/01 was also reviewed. These maps did not show any historic structures, archaeological sites, or historic districts on the project lands. Based on a review of historic aerial photos, this area has existed as actively maintained agricultural lands for at least the past 40 years or more. Given the above, it does not appear that development of the Immokalee Sand Mine property will impact any historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places or otherwise of historical, architectural, or archaeological value. If a suspected archaeological or historical artifact is discovered during the course of site development activities (construction, mining, clearing, etc.), the development activities at the specific site will be immediately halted and the appropriate agency notified. Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to enable the County or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action. 2.7 SOILS Based on the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) "Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida" (NRCS, 1998) there are 7 different soil types (soil map units) present on the project lands. Figure 4 provides a soils map for the project area as derived from the NRCS mapping. The following sub -sections provide a brief description of each soil map unit identified on the project lands. Information is provided about the soil's landscape position (i.e. its typical location in the landscape on a county -wide basis), the soil's profile (i.e. textural composition and thickness or depth range of the layers or horizons commonly present in the soil), and the soil's drainage and hydrologic characteristics. In addition, the hydrologic soil group is also identified for each soil. There are 4 groups that are used to estimate runoff from precipitation. Soils are grouped according to the rate of infiltration of water when the soils are thoroughly wet and are subject to precipitation from long -duration storms. The four groups range from A (soils with a high infiltration rate, low runoff potential, and a high rate of water transmission) to D (soils having a slow infiltration rate and very slow rate of water transmission). The soils occurring on project lands are as follows: Immokalee fine sand (Man Unit #7) Landscape position - Flatwoods.

PROPOSED CONDITIONS (POST -DEVELOPMENT) 3.1 PROPOSED PROJECT The Owners propose to expand the excavation footprint of the existing sand mine utilizing the related production and sorting facilities on the 896.7-acre Immokalee Sand Mine property, as illustrated in the conceptual site plan (see Figure 7). The area to be mined shown on Figure 6 is the "maximum excavation area". Mining will involve removal of any overburden using typical equipment such as bulldozers, front-end loaders, and dump trucks. Once the water table has been reached, other conventional excavation equipment such as draglines and excavators will be brought in to start the sand extraction. As the depth of the pit increases, a hydraulic dredge will be used. This hydraulic dredge will be used for the vast majority of the sand extraction activities. The total depth of excavation previously permitted by the FDEP is no more than 90 feet below the control elevation (-54.5 feet NAVD) or to the top of the confining layer, whichever is shallower. Any haul roads built within the mining area will utilize crushed limestone. The project will include the processing facilities proposed along the western side of the property where the excavated materials will be stockpiled and processed on - site. The majority of the sand mine will be excavated "in the wet" rather than dewatering an entire individual pit. However, some dewatering activities may initially be necessary in order to efficiently excavate down to the mine target sand deposit. This excavation will be done hydraulically in a single expanding cell and the water discharge will be recirculated into a perimeter ditch as it is dug. The vast majority of the mining will be accomplished by the utilization of the hydraulic dredge. The dredge allows for the material to be pumped to the central processing area where it can be sorted and graded. This also eliminates the need for all of the haul roads and on -site trucks and machinery that are common at rock quarries. The hydraulic dredge can be adjusted to reach differential depths and is the most efficient method of excavating deeper sand deposits. Limited blasting may be necessary as part of the mining operation. The soil borings indicate that the site does not contain a significant layer of rock. However, if small rock patches are encountered blasting may be necessary. Such blasting will occur only as needed and will be limited to no more than twice per week. The blasting will be conducted only in daylight hours. Depending on demand for the sand, the actual excavation (dredging) process may be conducted 24 hours per day. Modifications to this work schedule could result from discussions with FFWCC and FWS. The production schedule anticipates that between 10 and 15 acres will be mined per year, though this number will be greater initially then decrease as the sand is extracted at greater depths. Furthermore, market conditions and demand for sand will greatly affect the production schedule. The production schedule listed above is a maximum production schedule. The central portion of the mine property will contain various sorting and processing facilities and an initial tailings/drainage pond. This area will include the settling/tailings ponds, the plant for processing the excavated materials, and stockpiles of the processed product (graded sand). The processing plant will operate roughly 12 to 16 hours per day. The processing plant will use water pumped up as part of the dredging operations along with the sand to transport and wash the mined materials, assist in the sorting, and to remove undesirable fines (silts and clays). At the start of operations, a well may be needed to supply some water to the plant but this consumptive Page 12 of 36 Page 1129 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 use will cease once the Mine pits are capable yielding a sufficient volume of water. Water in this pond can be recirculated to the processing plant as necessary. One well tapping the surficial aquifer will be constructed to supply the limited amount of water necessary to meet potable water needs. An on site septic system will be built to handle sanitary sewage generated. If necessary, a stormwater containment berm will be constructed around the outer perimeter of mining portions of the project (see Figure 6) so that the crest of this earthen berm will be high enough to contain all storm events up to and including the 25-year event. An additional two feet of freeboard will be designed into the containment berm system where needed. Thus, all runoff from the mining area will be contained on -site and will either percolate through the soil or flow into the pit. Once the mining has been completed, reclamation plans will include stormwater discharge to off -site wetlands via an outfall control structure on the eastern side of the lake only after the stormwater has received appropriate treatment and attenuation (i.e. treatment and attenuation that satisfies water quality and water quantity design standards specified in the SFWMD's Applicant's Handbook). It is important to understand that the existing cattle farming activities will continue during much of the total lifespan of the Mine project. Pasture fields will be retained in areas not being mined and will be gradually eliminated as the mining progresses across the property. The fields and agricultural drainage and irrigation ditches associated with these fields will be modified as necessary in advance of the mining to allow farming to continue in non -mined areas. The overall mining area will be reclaimed in accordance with reclamation requirements set forth in Chapter 62C-36, Florida Administrative Code (limestone reclamation requirements). Mine closure and reclamation will include removal of the processing plant. Reclamation of the overall Mine property will be completed following completion of all the mining operations. This will be done in accordance with criteria set forth in the state's applicable mine reclamation standards (i.e. Chap. 62C-36.008, FAC). Three isolated and degraded wetlands, totaling 14.3 acres, currently remain on the mine property. The mining operation will eliminate two of these wetlands for a combined total of 6.6 acres of impact. However, any functional values lost as a result will be fully compensated through the purchase of wetland credits from an approved wetland mitigation bank. In addition, approximately 9.9 acres have been retained in the southwest corner of the property. This area includes an isolated 7.7 acre wetland that has been preserved to meet local Collier County preservation requirements. Approximately 7.4 acres of this wetland are included within the conservation easement for the preserve area. the remaining 0.3 acre of wetland is along the perimeter of the property within utility or ROW easements so while it is being retained on the site, it is not included in the preserve calculations. Alligators currently reside within and/or utilize some of the larger agricultural ditches and the small man-made ponds on the mine property. Various listed wading birds forage within the ditches and wetlands on the mine property as well as along the banks of the ponds. Florida sandhill cranes and crested caracaras also occasionally forage in the property's pastures and crop fields. These listed species will be protected during project construction (see Appendix C). The lake created through the mining process will establish far more aquatic habitat for use by listed wading birds and alligators than presently exists on the property. The large mining pit lake, when completed, will provide much greater water storage on the property than exists currently and thus will be a source of groundwater recharge for the general region. The water table in the lakes will reflect the existing regional water table and so will not adversely affect natural hydroperiods or peak water table elevations in off -site wetlands. To the Page 13 of 36 Page 1130 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 contrary, more water will be available to the wetlands through the surficial aquifer recharge effects of the lake. The on -site stormwater management system proposed is designed so that some stormwater from the pit lake will discharge following appropriate water quality treatment and attenuation. The overall water balance for the project site should be improved since groundwater withdrawals for crop field irrigation will be phased out as the mining operation progresses. Currently, agricultural practices on the property include the use of throwout pumps to discharge water from the crop fields into on -site uplands and wetland storage areas. This discharge seriously disrupts and adversely impacts the natural hydroperiod of affected wetlands and also lowers the water quality in the lands receiving water from the pumping. As mining progresses, the on -site farming activities including the use of throwout pumps will be eliminated. Surface water nutrient loadings generated by the existing farming operations can be substantial. When managed appropriately the impacts can be eliminated. However, the ultimate elimination of the throw out pumps as proposed will certainly eliminate any potential for adverse impacts. The proposed project stormwater management system will capture and treat on -site stormwater runoff in accordance with SFWMD/FDEP stormwater treatment and attenuation design criteria. The stormwater treatment capacity of the lake will be sufficient enough to gain a state water quality certification. Various acreage estimates for the proposed project are provided below. • Total area within Immokalee Sand Mine property boundary = 896.70 acres • Total area to be developed as part of the project = 886.3 acres • Portion of developed area to be mined = 680.3 acres • Portion of developed area to be disturbed but not mined = 206.0 acres • Total area within the property boundary to be preserved (on -site Preserve) = 9.9 acres Proposed Composition of Areas Developed on the Mine Property • Mine Lake (dug as excavation cells; area at control elevation) = 680.3 acres • Tailings pond (area at control elevation) =17.9 acres • Aggregate stockpile and processing area plus Offices/operational facilities area = 47.9 acres • Perimeter stormwater containment berms = 59.3 acres • Primary haul road = 83.9 acres • Total impervious areas = 14.1 acres 3.2 PROJECT CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE Figure 6 illustrates the conceptual site plan for the expanded Immokalee Sand Mine project. No construction of public facilities is proposed as part of the project. The property will be accessed directly from State Road 82 using the access determined in coordination with County and State DOT and traffic officials. The proposed project includes constructing new turn lanes (west -bound right turn lane and east -bound left turn lane) on State Road 82. The project construction activities commenced in 2019. The wetland mitigation purchase has already occurred for the previously impacted wetland areas. Mitigation for the proposed new wetland impacts will occur shortly after issuance of the necessary permits. Generally speaking, the Mine operations office and related facilities (parking lot, on -site entry road, etc.), processing plant and facilities, and the tailings pond will be constructed first along with the perimeter stormwater berms encompassing this area. Excavation of the mining pit will then commence and will be expanded over time. Mining of the overburden in the construction office and tailings Page 14 of 36 Page 1131 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 pond area has already commenced. It is estimated that a maximum of roughly 40 to 50 acres may be mined per year, although initial mining will encompass more acreage, areal expansion will reduce as deeper depths are mined. Prior to starting excavation of a given excavation area; the perimeter stormwater containment berm will be constructed/expanded to encompass the new mining area. Final completion of mining activities is estimated to occur roughly 10 to 15 years after project construction is initiated but this could vary. The overall mining area ("developed area") will be reclaimed in accordance with reclamation requirements set forth in Chapter 62C-36.008, Florida Administrative Code (limestone reclamation requirements/standards). Mine closure and reclamation will include removal of the processing plant plus elimination (filling and subsequent revegetation) of the tailings pond. It is important to understand that the existing farming activities will continue during much of the total lifespan of the Mine project. Pasture fields will be retained in areas not being mined and will be gradually eliminated as the mining progresses across the property. The fields and agricultural drainage and irrigation ditches associated with these fields will be modified as necessary in advance of the mining to allow farming to continue in non -mined areas. 3.3 PROJECT IMPACTS TO WETLANDS The proposed expansion of the project will impact a total of 6.7 acres of isolated, degraded wetlands on the Mine property. Development of the proposed Mine project will impact two of the remaining three wetlands on the Mine property; hence one wetland area will be preserved on -site. one small wetland area was authorized to be impacted under the original permitting and no longer exists. The additional impacted wetlands proposed with this expansion total about 6.6 acres. Figure 6 illustrates the wetlands that will be impacted. Appendix A Table 4 provides the existing habitat types (FLUCFCS map units) occurring in the wetlands to be impacted. During the construction and mining process, appropriate construction best management practices will be employed to help protect water quality and minimize the discharge of sediments and/or turbid water from the project site. The specific erosion/sediment/turbidity control methods and devices used will generally conform to applicable standards and criteria set forth in the "FDER Florida Development Manual," Sections 6-301 through 6-500 (FDER.1988. "The Florida Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management," Chapter 6: "Storm Water and Erosion Control Best Management Practices for Developing Areas; Guidelines for Using Erosion and Sediment Control Practices," ES BMP1.01-1.67. Tallahassee, FL.). These methods will also typically conform to applicable standards and guidelines set forth in the "Florida Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspector's Manual" (FDEP, 2002). All runoff from the developed Mine area will be contained on -site while the Mine is active through construction of the perimeter stormwater containment berms. 3.3.1 DIRECT, PERMANENT IMPACTS Development of the proposed Mine expansion project will result in direct, permanent impacts to a total of 6.6 acres of FDEP jurisdictional wetlands and potentially USACE jurisdictional wetlands. As used herein, the term "direct, permanent impacts" refers to actions that will result in the complete elimination of jurisdictional areas (i.e. excavation and fill). The remainder of the existing on -site wetlands will be preserved. Table 4 lists the proposed permanent wetland impacts while Figure 6 illustrates these impacts. The wetlands proposed to be permanently impacted are all isolated and substantially degraded. UMAM scores for the existing functional values of these wetlands range from 0.27 to 0.33 (see Table 8). Page 15 of 36 Page 1132 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 Wetland 643 is a small area in the southwest corner of the property that also extends off -site. None of this wetland will be impacted by the proposed mine and the off -site portions of this wetland will also remain intact. There are several jurisdictional other surface waters (OSWs) within the Mine property boundary which are all segments of man-made agricultural drainage ditches and small man- made ponds. Development of the Mine project will result in direct, permanent impacts to all these OSWs. The only OSW not to be directly impacted will be portions of the perimeter rim ditch that is located both on and off -site. Portions or "slivers" of this ditch located within the Mine property are not anticipated to be impacted by Mine development. 3.3.2 TEMPORARY IMPACTS Permitted wetland enhancement activities in wetland 643 required mechanized clearing and grading of portions of the wetland. These activities took place in disturbed areas that were dominated by exotics. This wetland is not USACE jurisdictional. The proposed enhancement program may require additional temporary impacts to a total of 7.4 acres of FDEP jurisdictional wetlands to maintain the area free from exotics. The effects of any needed future clearing and grading activities proposed should not be considered wetland "impacts" since they are necessary to carry out the wetland enhancement and will result in overall positive benefits to the affected wetland areas. 3.3.3 SECONDARY IMPACTS TO OFF -SITE WETLANDS AND WATER RESOURCES The proposed layout of the Mine project's development features will minimize potential secondary impacts to the only adjacent off -site wetlands by providing an appropriate buffer between the development features and these wetlands. The Mine pit, when completed, will provide much greater water storage on the Mine property than exists currently and thus will be a source of groundwater recharge for the general region. The water table in the lake will reflect the existing regional water table and thereby maintain ambient natural water table levels. In this manner, the proposed lake will not adversely affect natural hydroperiods or peak water table elevations around the project site. Indications are that the overall water budget (water balance) for the Mine property will be improved by development of the project, largely through the elimination of agricultural ground water usage. The pre -mining conditions likely produce a net deficit water balance due to losses from evapotranspiration/evaporation, surface runoff, and ground water pumping. The post -mining conditions should create a surplus water balance, primarily due to the elimination of agricultural ground water pumping and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in surface runoff. The proposed project will, over time, eliminate the agricultural ground water pumping, will reduce the net consumptive use of the surficial aquifer, and will somewhat decrease site runoff. Due to the proposed method of excavation (wet mining), groundwater resources will not be adversely affected by this project. The project site is not located in an area where Mine excavation activities might pose the threat of potential saltwater intrusion. Most of the Mine property prior to the original permitting was used to produce citrus and small vegetable crops and as such required irrigation. The supplemental irrigation is supplied by groundwater resources via wells tapping the surficial aquifer (water table aquifer). The proposed project will not require a net consumption of as great a volume of water as that Page 16 of 36 Page 1133 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 demanded by the crop fields, therefore utilization of groundwater resources will be reduced. The project's proposed stormwater management system will be designed to comply with all applicable design standards and requirements set forth in SFWMD's Applicant's Handbook, including but not limited to those addressing water quality criteria, water quantity criteria, and water management design and construction criteria. Adherence to these criteria will help ensure that, following mine reclamation, discharges from the stormwater management system to off -site lands meets applicable state and federal surface water quality standards. While Mine operations are on -going (pre -reclamation) all runoff from developed areas will be contained on -site through use a perimeter stormwater containment berm. This runoff will flow into the project's lakes for proper attenuation and treatment. During the construction and mining process, appropriate best management practices will be employed to control and reduce soil erosion, sediment transport, and turbidity. Given these factors, the proposed project should not adversely impact water quality in off -site wetlands or surface waters. Currently agricultural practices on the Mine property also include the use of throwout pumps to discharge water from the crop fields into off -site uplands and wetlands. This discharge lowers the water quality in the wetlands receiving water from the pumping since the water receives minimal, if any, treatment prior to the pumping. As mining progresses, the on -site farming activities including the use of throwout pumps will be eliminated. Discontinuation of pumping will further benefit water quality in off -site wetlands and other surface waters. 3.4 PRESERVATION, ENHANCEMENT, RESTORATION, AND CREATION OF WETLANDS The proposed wetland impacts will be compensated by purchase of mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank. An assessment of the wetland impacts and mitigation was conducted using the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) set forth in Chapter 62-345, Florida Administrative Code. A summary of this assessment is provided in Table 8 of Appendix A, while the complete UMAM sheets are provided in Appendix E. The UMAM assessment indicates that the UMAM scores for the four remaining on -site wetlands range from 0.27 to 0.43 and that the total functional value of the 6.6 acres of wetlands to be impacted is 2.71. The applicant will purchase 2.71 mitigation bank credits from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank Expansion to offset the proposed project wetland impacts. This will fully compensate for the proposed project wetland impacts without the inclusion of the on -site enhancement activities proposed in the on -site preserve. The UMAM assessment indicates the Mine project will not result in any net loss of wetland functions. 3.5 PROJECT IMPACTS TO LISTED SPECIES An ongoing survey for listed animal and plant species has been conducted on the project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates ecologists. This listed species survey, and its results are discussed in Appendix B. The listed animal species observed on project lands by Turrell, Hall & Associates included American alligator, wood stork, snowy egret, white ibis, tricolored heron, sandhill crane, and crested caracara. Other than alligators and sandhill crane, none of the observed listed animal species reside or nest on the project lands. No listed plant species were found on the project lands. Appendix C provides a protection plan (management plan) for the listed species that were documented utilizing the project lands as well as for some additional listed wading birds that were not observed but which could forage on the property. Page 17 of 36 Page 1134 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 The following subsections provide an assessment of the proposed project's potential impacts to various listed animal species. The species addressed include those observed on or in close proximity to the Mine property as well as certain species that could potentially occur on the Mine property and/or on off -site lands close to the Mine site. Wood Storks (Mt�cteria americans) No wood stork nests, rookeries, or roosting sites have been found on the project lands. The closest documented wood stork colony is located approximately 9.3 miles east of the Mine property in the Okaloacoochee Slough. The proximity of this rookery (colony) places the proposed project within the colony's 18.6- mile Core Foraging Area as defined by FWS. The property is also within the CFA of two other rookery sites. It is 13.5 miles from the Corkscrew rookery and 17.7 miles from the North Katherine Island rookery. Wood storks have been documented foraging in a few of the larger agricultural ditches on the Mine property. On -site wetlands do not provide suitable foraging habitat for wood storks for various reasons (water depths, density of shrub cover, inappropriate hydroperiod, minimal prey species, etc.). Though it is possible that wood storks could occasionally forage in limited portions of on -site wetland 643; however the quality of these habitats for foraging purposes is minimal. None of the on -site wetlands offer habitats suitable for establishment of wood stork rookeries. The proposed project will impact two of the remaining three small wetlands present on the Mine property. These impacts will not constitute a significant loss of suitable foraging habitat. The project will also eliminate (impact) essentially all of the existing other surface waters (OSWs) present on the Mine property (i.e. the existing man-made agricultural drainage ditches and ponds). Very few of the ditches to be impacted provide significant wood stork foraging opportunities. Most of the ditches are generally very shallow and contain limited prey species when water is present. The remaining larger ditches do provide suitable foraging habitat when conditions are favorable. The foraging opportunities provided can vary significantly during a given year due a wide array of factors that include, but are not limited to: water levels present (ditches can be too dry for several months; water depths can be too deep in larger ditches, particularly when fields are being irrigated); variable abundance of prey species; access of prey species to ditch segment (manipulation control structures such as flashboard risers can block or allow access); maintenance condition of ditch segment (ex. whether vegetation cover is dense or sparse, whether the ditch has been recently re -graded or not, etc.). The herbaceous wet prairie to be retained and enhanced will provide 7.4 acres of short hydroperiod wetlands to the project site. Upon completion of the mining operation and mine reclamation, the resultant lake will encompass a total of approximately 680 acres. The lake will provide a deep water refuge for fish as well as habitat for a diversity of other aquatic and semi -aquatic organisms. Vegetated littoral zones will form along the perimeters of the lake. These littoral zones will provide some foraging opportunities for wood storks, however the foraging value on a per acre basis will be limited compared to more favorable habitats such as the prairie areas in the preserve (due to factors such as water depth, dispersal of prey species, extended inundation vs. seasonal drying, etc.). During the initial construction phase of the Mine and as the areas to be mined expand over time; various measures will be taken to help ensure protection of wood storks. These measures are addressed in the enclosed "listed species protection plan" (see Appendix C). The proposed wetland mitigation activities will occur at a mitigation bank within the same wood stork Core Foraging Area in which the proposed wetland impacts will occur. This mitigation is in keeping with the Section 404(b)(1) guidelines and, in conjunction with the creation of the Mine, should Page 18 of 36 Page 1135 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 adequately compensate for the loss of the existing low -quality wood stork foraging habitats that will be impacted by the Mine project. Given these considerations, it is concluded that the proposed Mine project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect wood storks. Various Listed WadingBirds irds Little blue herons (Egretta caerulea), snowy egrets (Egretta thula), tricolored herons (Egretta tricolor), and white ibis (Eudocimus alba) have been observed foraging in various agricultural drainage ditches and swales located on the Mine property. Little blue herons and snowy egrets have also been observed foraging in on -site wetlands. No nests of these species have been observed on the project lands. Besides these species, other listed wading birds that could theoretically frequent appropriate habitats within the project lands include roseate spoonbills (Ajaja ajaja), and limpkins (Aramus guarauna). Development of the Mine project will result in the loss of on -site drainage ditches and wetlands thereby reducing potential foraging habitats for the listed wading birds mentioned while the Mine lake shoreline will provide new potential foraging habitats. The listed species protection plan includes measures to help protect these species during project construction and operation. Overall, the proposed project will impact existing low -quality foraging habitats but should adequately compensate for these impacts and not threaten the continued existence of the cited listed wading birds. American Alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) Numerous alligators have been observed in the drainage ditches on the Mine property. No alligator nests have been documented on or in close proximity to the Mine property though nests could occur in the denser wetland areas and not be observed. The proposed project will affect alligators; however the anticipated impacts (primarily a combination of temporary and permanent displacement) should not substantially affect alligator populations in the general region. Measures are included in the listed species protection plan to help avoid and minimize direct impacts to individual alligators and alligator nests. Once the Mine is reclaimed, the lake will provide roughly 680 acres of viable alligator habitat, far more than exists presently. Florida Sandhill Cranes (Gros canadensis pratensis) A few Florida sandhill cranes have been observed on the Mine property foraging in row crop field areas. Cranes have also been observed in pastures and herbaceous wetlands near the property. A single crane nest was observed at the north end of SW-2 during the 2020 listed species survey effort. Development of the Mine property will eliminate certain on -site upland and wetland habitats that provide foraging opportunities for sandhill cranes. The wet prairie area in the southwest corner of the site will be protected and retained. Crane foraging can also continue to occur in the pasture areas as the mining operation expands. The gradual loss of the pasture lands as the mining footprint expands should not threaten the continued existence of sandhill cranes nor should it adversely impact sandhill crane populations. The listed species protection plan incorporates actions that will help ensure protection of sandhill crane nests in the unlikely event that such nests are established on -site. The FWC has expressed some concerns on other projects that blasting activities might adversely impact off -site sandhill Page 19 of 36 Page 1136 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 crane nests. The listed species protection plan calls for conducting off -site surveys for sandhill crane nests should the first blasting events be scheduled to commence shortly before or during the crane nesting season. It also includes measures for protecting any nests encountered from the potential secondary impacts of blasting (ex. abandonment of nest). If the first blasting events will not coincide with the nesting season, it was assumed that sandhill cranes would not elect to establish nests in off -site lands that are in close enough proximity to the Mine that the cranes would feel threatened or disturbed by the on -going blasting activities. Eastern Indigo Snakes (Drumarchon corais couperi) No indigo snakes have been observed on the project lands and the majority of these lands do not provide particularly suitable habitats for indigo snakes. Considering their elusive nature, their large home range, and the wide array of habitats they may utilize, there remains a limited potential that indigo snakes could occasionally frequent portions of the project lands. The listed species protection plan adopted as part of the Mine project includes appropriate measures for helping ensure the protection of indigo snakes throughout the operational life of the Mine. The particulars of the protection plan for indigo snakes set forth in the Mine's listed species protection plan basically follow the FWS's prescribed "Standard Protection Measures for the Eastern Indigo Snake". There are no gopher tortoise burrows, and only a very few armadillo burrows, on the project lands where an indigo snake could be buried or trapped and injured during project activities. In consideration of these points and given the limited probability of any indigo snakes occurring on the project lands, it is anticipated that the Mine project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect this species. Florida Bonneted Bat (Eumops floridanus) No bats or bat roosts have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. Due to the agricultural activities there are no trees with cavities suitable for roosting. It is possible that bats might establish in some of the farm storage sheds or mine office buildings in the future either prior to initial mine construction activities or afterward as the Mine development/excavation progresses though the likelihood of this occurring is minimal at best. The proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to bonneted bats. Florida Panthers (Puma concolor corgi) Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation overlays encompass the Mine property as discussed in Appendix C, although no Florida panthers have ever been documented on project lands. Development of the Mine will permanently impact 896.7 acres all of which is located in the Secondary Zone. The FWS has established panther Habitat Suitability Values (HSVs) for various types of habitats with scores (values) ranging from 0 (no value) to 9.5 (optimal value). When the acreage of a given habitat type (polygon) is multiplied by this habitat's HSV, the result is termed the Panther Habitat Unit value or PHU value. Based on the existing habitat types present, the total PHU value of the land encompassed by the proposed mine expansion property boundary is 422 Secondary zone or 291 Primary zone equivalent habitat units. Utilizing the 1.98 base ratio multiplier, the PHU requirement to off -set the proposed impacts associated with the expansion is 577 PHUs. Wetland mitigation credits purchased from the mitigation bank have associated PHU credits. Each wetland credit from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank expansion has 34.8 PHUs associated with it. The project will be purchasing 2.71 wetland credits which will also account for 94.31 Page 20 of 36 Page 1137 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 PHUs. The applicant currently anticipates that the mitigation needed to compensate for the proposed panther habitat impacts will be achieved through preservation and management of off -site lands located within the Primary Zone panther habitat conservation overlay. The original review and authorization of this project preserved 764.1 acres of off -site lands which provided 6,628 PHUs. All of these off -site lands used for the project's panther mitigation program are lands that are currently owned by the owner of the Mine property. The FWS has previously approved this approach to mitigating development impacts to potential panther habitats for the original permitting on this project. There is still a value of 4,156 PHUs associated with the off -site preserve lands which could be used to offset the remaining PHU requirement for the proposed expansion of the mine footprint. The applicant will enter into consultation with the FWS to address the Mine project's expansion impacts to Florida panthers and their potential habitats. The specifics of the location of the off -site lands to be preserved and protected as part of the project's panther mitigation program have been provided by the applicant as part of the previous permitting process. The applicant will ensure that the compensation value of these off -site lands combined with the compensation value of the on -site Preserve will be at least equal to if not greater than the current PHU value of Mine lands proposed for development (e.g. PHU value of off -site lands plus wetland mitigation purchase will be equal to or greater than the PHU value of the area to be developed multiplied by the requisite base ratio and applicable landscape compensation multipliers). Any other measures deemed necessary by the FWS to ensure adequate protection of panthers will also be addressed by the applicant during the Section 7 consultation process during which time the applicant will also coordinate panther issues with the FWC. Given this approach, it is anticipated that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, the Florida panther. Crested Caracaras (Caracara cheriwa Intensive surveys of the project lands found no caracara nests on the project lands. Caracara foraging was observed on the project site in the fallow agricultural fields. Caracaras were also regularly seen consuming road -kill along SR 82 in close proximity to the project site. Several cabbage palm trees were removed in 2019 following the issuance of the Biological Opinion for the original mine footprint. It appears that caracaras do not nest on these lands but that they do occasionally use these lands for hunting/foraging purposes. The listed species survey conducted by ecologists working on the SR 82 roadway expansion in 2016 opined that a caracara nest may be present on project lands No nest was observed but repeated flights by a pair of caracaras were observed that would lead to the possibility that nesting was occurring in that area. Subsequent caracara nesting surveys determined that a caracara nest may be present on lands to the east of the project site. No nest was observed but repeated flights by a pair of caracaras were observed that would lead to the possibility that nesting was occurring in that direction. Publications by the FWS and FWC (ref: FWS. 2002. Habitat management guidelines for Audubon's crested caracara in central and southern Florida; FWC. 2001. Recommended management practices and survey protocol's for Audubon's crested caracara in Florida; FWS. 2002. Draft standard local operating procedures for endangered species (SLOPES) for Audubon's crested caracara) recommend buffer zones to be established around active nests. If a nest is located on or adjacent to the project site appropriate buffers will be established to ensure that the proposed work will not adversely affect the nest. Considering this along with the results of the listed species surveys conducted on -site (no nests, relatively few observations of foraging/hunting, limited suitable habitat), proposed development Page 21 of 36 Page 1138 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 activities on the actual Mine property should not directly impact caracaras (not likely to adversely affect). It may also be concluded that while the existing mine will not adversely affect caracaras (per the FWS BO for the project), the proposed expansion may increase effects to caracaras. The determination of whether these additional impacts will adversely affect caracaras or whether they will have only minimal effects on this species (i.e. may affect, not likely to adversely affect) will be coordinated with FWS and FWC during the permitting process to determine appropriate measures that can be taken to help ensure the proposed project will not adversely affect caracaras (ex. protection plans, monitoring plans, and measures to minimize or mitigate potential impacts). The listed species protection plan proposed (Appendix C) prescribes surveying on -site for caracara nests prior to initiation of Mine construction activities to help ensure no caracara nests have been established on the project lands subsequent to the listed species surveys already conducted. Surveys for caracara nests located on or immediately off -site in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property will also be conducted throughout the life of the mine. The protection plan further includes various activities to be conducted during the operational life of the Mine to help minimize potential secondary impacts to caracaras. These proposed activities are subject to change and will be finalized based on input and guidance received from FWS during their evaluation of the project. Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia) No burrowing owls or owl burrows have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. It is possible that owls might establish on -site burrows in the future either prior to initial mine construction activities or afterward in areas of the property where Mine development/excavation had not yet expanded into though the likelihood of this occurring is minimal at best. The listed species management plan includes measures to locate and protect any on -site owl burrows during the operational life of the Mine. Thus, the proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to burrowing owls. The listed species protection program also incorporates measures to protect off -site owl burrows from Mine blasting activities should new burrows be established in close proximity to Mine blasting areas. After blasting activities begin, it is assumed burrowing owls will avoid establishing burrows in off -site areas where they consider the effects of blasting (noise, ground vibration) to be potentially harmful or disruptive. Potential secondary impacts of Mine blasting activities to off -site owl burrows should not be significant given the proposed protection plan and the anticipated tendency of owls to avoid areas where blasting creates a disturbance. Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus poliyphemus) No gopher tortoises or tortoise burrows have been documented on or in the immediate vicinity of the Mine property. There are known tortoise burrows approximately 3/4 of a mile to the southwest and 1 mile to the northeast of the project site. There is a possibility that tortoises could move onto the site or establish burrows closer to the Mine between now and the completion of the excavation activities. The listed species management plan includes measures to periodically survey the site to locate and protect any on -site tortoises during the operational life of the Mine. The listed species protection program also incorporates measures to protect off -site tortoises from Mine activities should new burrows be established in close proximity to Mine. Thus, the proposed project should have no direct, significant impact to gopher tortoises. Page 22 of 36 Page 1139 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 3.6 PROJECT IMPACTS TO ARCHAEOLOGICAL/HISTORICAL RESOURCES As part of the earlier permitting efforts, a letter was submitted to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (DHR) requesting DHR to examine the Florida Master Site File for any previously recorded archaeological/historical resources documented on the project lands. DHR responded in a letter dated 9/25/08 that the Florida Master Site File listed no previously recorded cultural resources on the subject property. A Cultural Resources Survey of the site was conducted in 2016 which did not find any evidence of cultural or archaeological resources on the property. A copy of the Survey is provided as Appendix F. The Collier County Long Range Planning Department's "Index Map of Historical/Archaeological Probability of Collier County, Florida", published on 5/5/01 was also reviewed. These maps did not show any historic structures, archaeological sites, or historic districts on the project lands. Based on a review of historic aerial photos, this area has existed essentially in the same condition as it is today for at least the past 30 years or more. Given the above, it does not appear that proposed expansion of the Immokalee Sand Mine mining footprint will impact any historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places or otherwise of historical, architectural, or archaeological value. If a suspected archaeological or historical artifact is discovered during the course of site development activities (construction, mining, clearing, etc.), the development activities at the specific site will be immediately halted and the appropriate agency notified. Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to enable the County or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action. Page 23 of 36 Page 1140 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 4. AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION OF WETLAND AND LISTED SPECIES IMPACTS The geology in southwest Florida is highly inconsistent from one site to another. Tamiami Limestone is shown in regional geology data to be the predominant geological formation in the area, but that formation is not a viable source of natural sand and gravel. The applicant been searching for a viable deposit of sand and gravel (fine aggregate) when they discovered this deposit. The applicant was involved in a search for rock aggregate in which they investigated several properties. During the investigations, the sand source associated with this project was located and a mining permit application process was started to take advantage of this uncommon deposit. The Stewart Mine to the south across SR 82 also produces similar sand products and has been in operation for several years. The next closest source of sand to the SW Florida market is in Ortona, which is about 35 miles away by truck. Permits were issued for this property by all appropriate agencies and the mining operation was initiated in late 2019. In order for a deposit to be deemed viable, the following requirements had to be met: location in southwest Florida near the Naples/Bonita Springs/Ft. Myers area (e.g. near existing manufacturing facilities in Naples, Bonita Springs, and lmmokalee plus located in a region of the state where there is a high demand for this type of aggregate); deposits present must be capable of yielding FDOT-quality construction aggregates; deposits must be sufficient in volume/extent and must be sufficiently shallow to make mining operation economically viable. One of the more difficult requirements to satisfy is typically locating deposits that can meet FDOT quality standards. The general requirements for fine aggregate to meet these standards are (from FDOT Standards for Road and Bridge Construction Section 902): - Fine aggregate shall consist of natural silica sand, screenings, local materials, or other inert materials with similar characteristics, having hard, strong, durable particles, conforming to the specific requirements of this Section 902. - All fine aggregate shall be reasonably free of lumps of clay, soft or flaky particles, salt, alkali, organic matter, loam or other extraneous substances. The weight of deleterious substances shall not exceed the following percentages: oShale...................................................................................1.0 o Coal and lignite................................................................1.0 o Cinders and clinkers........................................................0.5 oClay Lumps.......................................................................1.0 - Silica sand shall be composed only of naturally occurring hard, strong, durable, uncoated grains of quartz, reasonably graded from coarse to fine, meeting the following requirements, in percent total weight. Sieve Opening Size Percent Retained Percent Passing No. 4 0 to 5 95 to 100 No. 8 0 to 15 85 to 100 No.16 3 to 35 65 to 97 No. 30 30 to 75 25 to 70 No. 50 65 to 95 5 to 35 No. 100 93 to 100 0 to 7 No. 200 minimum 96 maximum 4 Silica sand from any one source, having a variation in Fineness Modulus greater than 0.20 either way from the Fineness Modulus of target gradations established by the producer, may be rejected. Page 24 of 36 Page 1141 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 Silica sand shall be subject to the colorimetric test for organic impurities. If the color produced is darker than the standard solution, the aggregate shall be rejected unless it can be shown by appropriate tests that the impurities causing the color are not of a type that would be detrimental to Portland Cement Concrete. Such tests shall be in accordance with AASHTO T21 and AASHTO T71. When tested for the effect of organic impurities on strength of mortar, the strength ratio at seven and 28 days, calculated in accordance with Section 11 of AASHTO T71, shall not be less than 95%. Extensive testing was done at multiple sites throughout the area but were not considered viable due to the lack of sand deposits meeting the above criteria. Only the proposed Immokalee Sand Mine area contained sufficient quantities of sand where the deposits were capable of yielding FDOT-quality fine aggregate. Initially, the boundary of the area to be mined covered the entire project area but was reduced due to a potential wildlife corridor that was considered along the north boundary of the site. This potential corridor was eliminated from consideration when wildlife agencies located the corridor further north and west of the project site (See Section 2.2). Since the corridor is no longer proposed by the wildlife agencies, the mine footprint is being expanded in order to be able to excavate this valuable resource. During the construction and mining process, appropriate construction best management practices will be employed to help protect water quality and minimize the discharge of sediments and/or turbid water from the project site. The specific erosion/sediment/turbidity control methods and devices used will generally conform to applicable standards and criteria set forth in the "FDER Florida Development Manual," Sections 6-301 through 6-500 (FDER. 1988. "The Florida Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management," Chapter 6: "Storm Water and Erosion Control Best Management Practices for Developing Areas; Guidelines for Using Erosion and Sediment Control Practices," ES BMP 1.01-1.67. FDER, Tallahassee, FL.). Impacts to various listed wading birds and alligators that may periodically visit the project site (for foraging or other activities) along with impacts to resident alligators will be minimized by taking appropriate protection measures during project construction and operations activities. Following completion of the proposed mining activities, it is presently estimated that the lake formed on -site by the excavation will occupy approximately 680 acres. Mine reclamation activities will include planting lake shorelines with a variety of native littoral zone species in accordance with mine reclamation requirements specified in Chapter 62C-36, Florida Administrative Code. These post -reclamation mine lakes will provide desirable habitats for listed wading bird foraging and for alligators, thereby helping offset the project's proposed impacts to habitats currently utilized by these species. Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation overlays encompass the Mine property as discussed in Appendix B, although Florida panthers have not been documented on project lands. Development of the Mine will impact these panther habitat conservation zones. Even though the affected areas currently have limited panther habitat value, it is anticipated that the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will require mitigation for the proposed impacts to the same extent as they required compensation for the currently permitted footprint. The necessary mitigation for the project's impacts to panther habitats and the specifics of the mitigation will be determined as part of the consultation with FWS. It is proposed that mitigation will take the form of protecting and managing privately owned lands located within the Primary habitat zone of the Panther. This form of panther habitat mitigation has been previously Page 25 of 36 Page 1142 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 approved by FWS for the current mine footprint. Mitigation for project impacts to panther habitat conservation zones could include other measures recommended by the FWS. However, it is premature to accurately predict the ultimate panther habitat mitigation program at this conceptual planning stage of the project. Page 26 of 36 Page 1143 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 5. WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM The mitigation for wetland impacts will be provided through the purchase of wetland mitigation credits from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank Expansion. In addition to the credit purchase, the project will include a Collier County preserve area which will be enhanced and maintained, though no mitigation credit is associated with it. The wetland enhancement program involves enhancement of preserved wetlands and uplands, and the maintenance, management, and protection of these areas. This section describes key components of the wetland enhancement program. 5.1 ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITIES (TYPES) Wet Prairie - (Map FLUCFCS Code 643) This existing wetland occurs in a disturbed area in the southwest corner of the property. Plant cover is variable and mainly consists of native herbaceous wetland species and a few woody exotic and nuisance species. Eradication of the exotic and nuisance species using non - mechanized methods will be undertaken but no other enhancement activities are proposed. Presently the area is occasionally mown during the dry season. It is desirable to retain this area in its existing state due to its value for wading birds. Mowing activities will be suspended unless necessary for the road right-of-way maintenance or to control colonization by large woody species. This area will be separated from the mining operations and maintained in its existing condition. It is not included in the preserve areas due to its isolation from other natural areas and its unknown future pending potential improvements or widening of State Road 82. Some supplemental planting may be done if exotic eradication efforts create barren areas too large to quickly re -colonize. Potential supplemental plantings could include the following; Sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) Maidencane (Panicum virgatum) Cordgrasses (Spartina spp.) Spike Rushes (Eleocharis spp.) St. Johns Wort (Hypericum spp.) Spiderlily (Hymenocallis palmeri) Swamplily (Crinum americanum) Yellow -eyed Grass (Xeric ambigua) Whitetop Sedge (Dichromena colorata) 5.2 ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS OF ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM In addition to the above, the wetland enhancement program will have several other facets. These are discussed in the following paragraphs. Hydrologic Enhancement: Historically the water table in row crop fields adjacent to the preserve area was managed (i.e. fields are de -watered) by pumping water in to or out of field rim ditches and lateral ditches. This water is discharged via throw out pumps around these wetlands. This practice severely disrupts the normal wetland hydroperiod. Once the mining operations are under way, agricultural pumping of water into wetlands will be permanently ceased. This will help restore stable hydroperiods that are more typical of natural wetland conditions, prevent artificial over - inundation or drawdown of wetlands, and improve water quality. Page 27 of 36 Page 1144 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 Protection of Wetlands and Uplands via Conservation Easements: The preserve area will be placed under appropriate conservation easements which will protect the future integrity of the enhanced wetlands and uplands encompassed by the conservation area. The easements will ensure that the preserve area are preserved and protected in perpetuity. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Maintenance Eradication of Exotic and Nuisance Plants: The preserve area will be maintained in perpetuity to ensure that the areas are free from exotic/invasive plant species immediately following maintenance events and such that exotic and nuisance plane species will be kept out of the preserve area. Exotic invasive plant species will include Category I and Category II species identified in the current "Invasive Plant List" published by the Florida Exotic Pest Plan Council (FLEPPC) as well as Class I and Class II Prohibited Aquatic Plants listed in Chapter 62C-52.011, Florida Administrative Code. Nuisance plant species will include native plant species deemed detrimental due to their potential adverse competition with desirable native species. Visual inspection for exotic, non-native and nuisance plant invasion will be conducted annually and all exotic, non-native and nuisance vegetation including those defined by County codes and the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, found within the preserve areas will be flagged, mapped and reported for treatment. Felled material will be removed from the preserve areas where possible or killed in place where removal would cause extreme damage to the surrounding native areas. Any stumps remaining after the exotic, non-native and nuisance removal will be treated with a U.S. EPA approved herbicide and visible tracer dye to prevent regeneration from the roots. These maintenance activities will be performed in perpetuity as needed. Wetland and Upland Enhancement via Removal of Cattle and Fencing: All of the Preserve area is currently protected from grazing by cattle. Much of the on -site Preserve was occasionally managed for rangeland grazing via measures such as brush -hogging. Cattle are no longer allowed to graze within the conservation area and rangeland management practices have been discontinued. This has increased the growth, development, and diversity of native plant assemblages by removing the grazing and management pressures. Wetland and Upland Preserve Delineation: The preserves is clearly delineated with appropriate signage and will not be impacted by the currently proposed expansion. Page 28 of 36 Page 1145 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 6. WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM SUCCESS CRITERIA Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, meeting on -site success criteria is not applicable or relevant to this proposal. Page 29 of 36 Page 1146 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 7. WETLAND MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, Onsite monitoring of wetland preserves will not be required. Page 30 of 36 Page 1147 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 8. PRESERVE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, the management of the preserve area will be more to keep it consistent and compliant with Collier County regulations. The wetland will not be impacted as a minimization measure for the FDEP and USACE permitting. The Immokalee Sand Mine preserve area will be maintained to suppress infestation by exotic/invasive and nuisance plant species. Maintenance/management actions will be conducted as required to keep the area free from exotic or nuisance species. This area will be maintained in perpetuity such that exotic and nuisance plant infestations do not exceed the maximum allowed by the Collier County Land Development Code. After initial eradication efforts are complete, follow-up exotic and nuisance plant control will include directed herbicide applications and/or physical removal methods throughout all portions of the preserve area. Exotic/nuisance plant control is likely to occur on an annual basis for at least the first three years following completion of initial eradication efforts. Such maintenance events may be conducted more frequently if field observations indicate the need. At the end of this period, the frequency of activities necessary to adequately control nuisance and exotic plants will be re -assessed and a program developed for future maintenance. Follow-up plantings of previously planted areas will be conducted as necessary when and where survivorship, density, and/or percent cover goals are not achieved. The need for such re - plantings will typically be assessed on an annual basis. Management/maintenance activities may include removal of dead, dying, or diseased plants (both planted and existing plants) as deemed necessary. A qualified biologist or similar environmental professional will inspect the preserve area at least once a year. During the first few years, inspections will likely occur more frequently in an effort to rectify any potential problem situations (e.g., exotic/nuisance plant infestations, mortality of planted species, etc.) before they worsen. The necessary maintenance activities will be determined by the biologist during these inspections. The maintenance will be conducted during the course of the year following issuance of the biologist's recommendations. Page 31 of 36 Page 1148 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 9. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM Since mitigation will be provided via mitigation bank credit purchase, the financial component of the mitigation requirement will be met prior to any impacts occurring to the wetlands within the project footprint. Page 32 of 36 Page 1149 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 10. BASIS OF WETLAND MITIGATION PROGRAM AS ADEQUATE COMPENSATION FOR PROPOSED WETLAND IMPACTS Section 230.10(a) of the 404(b)(1) Guidelines states that no discharge of dredge and/or fill material (into waters of the United Sates, including wetlands) shall be permitted if there is a practicable alternative to the proposed discharge which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic environment, provided the alternative does not have other significant adverse environmental consequences. This regulation further states that for non -water dependent projects, practicable alternatives that do not involve special aquatic sites are presumed to be available. Practicable alternatives are those that are "available and capable of being done after taking into consideration cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of the overall project purposes." The applicant has investigated the availability and feasibility of practicable alternative locations other than the proposed expansion of this existing sand mine under the pending application. While the applicant has examined other locations, it is necessary to consider the investments in the Immokalee Sand Mine and the costs and logistics of obtaining sand from other locations. As noted in the Corps Regulatory Guidance on analysis under the 404(b)(1) Guidelines, the "characteristics of the project and what constitutes a reasonable expense for these projects [are what] are most relevant to practicability determinations." The applicant's needs must be considered in the context of the desired geographic area of the development, and the type of project being proposed. Indeed, RGL 93-2 provides that "[s]ome projects may be so site -specific ... that no offsite alternative could be practicable. In such cases the alternative analysis may appropriately be limited to onsite options only." Furthermore, RGL 93-2 notes that a "reasonable, common sense approach" ought to be followed in applying the requirements of the Guidelines. When dealing with mineral extraction proposals, the Corps has given considerable deference to an applicant's overall project purpose that involves mineral extraction from a specified geographic location. Additionally, the courts have not required exhaustive analysis of off -site alternatives where the costs and logistics of such alternatives are patently more costly than the applicant's preferred alternative. Here, the overall project purpose is to continue to excavate large quantities of affordable, high - quality, construction -grade sand from this existing mine. A critical consideration of the practicability of alternatives is that Immokalee Sand LLC be able to continue to use the mining - related facilities that already have been built or are planned, and the fact that high -quality, sand deposits are found in limited locations. In turn, these operations currently provide sand to a specific market in a cost-effective manner. Hence, this analysis considers the necessity of continuing to provide a source of sand for those facilities and customers that are already linked to the existing operations in this area. The proposed permit modification is requested for the purpose of allowing Immokalee Sand LLC to continue their existing operations. High quality sand is a critical state resource that is required as a component of a variety of construction materials. The sand is an integral component of concrete and other building materials required for the completion of public projects, including schools, hospitals and roads, many environmental enhancements projects as well as private developments, supporting valuable growth of the community. Factors affecting the location of a sand mine include: quality of sand reserves; total volume of sand reserves, including surface area available for mining and the depth of the sand deposits; availability of property for acquisition; and land use and other governmental restrictions, including local opposition to mining, and other factors that would limit the right of companies to excavate sand at a given location. Page 33 of 36 Page 1150 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 Consequently, opening a new mine or expanding an existing facility can take decades to plan and permit. The quality of sand, where it exists, varies from region to region. There are many locations throughout the county and state where high quality deposits are non-existent. Transportation costs dictate that a regional supply of affordable sand is critical to affordable public infrastructure. Transportation costs are a significant portion of the overall cost of aggregate materials because sand and the products produced from it are extremely heavy and expensive to transport. Thus, the further away a mine is from the markets it serves, the higher the transportation costs, and the higher the ultimate cost of the product. The current operations sit over an approximately 60 feet deep layer of high quality sand and the proposed expansion area has been found to also contain this same thickness of the resource. The location of the expansion area has inherent value in that it is directly adjacent to an existing processing facility. With this expansion, Immokalee Sand LLC will be able to use the plants, equipment and infrastructure developed and constructed at significant costs. Mining anywhere else will be more costly and less efficient due to lower yields, increased acreage impacts, and the inability to achieve economies of scale. This location will ultimately assist in reducing the environmental impact and additional cost of transporting unprocessed material from remote locations to the plant facility. If the project is not undertaken in its current location, transportation costs and impacts will be higher. The reduction of vehicle travel will ultimately assist in reducing the carbon footprint of the facility. The proposed mining expansion area is considered a part of the Immokalee Sand Mine and are included within the existing owned property. In addition, as mentioned above, expansion area is located directly adjacent to the existing mining and processing facilities within which the sand will be processed. Alternative sites would need to have the upland portions currently zoned for mining use and be directly adjacent to an existing in -operation processing plant facility that could be used to process the sand, thereby minimizing additional accesses onto public roadways and lessening the carbon footprint of the operation in reduced hauling. The only site meeting these requirements of equivalence is the nearby Stewart mine which is under current ownership of a competing mining company and is not available for purchase. The next level of research of alternate sites is for land areas directly adjacent to the existing mining operation which would provide access to sand that could be processed at the existing facilities. The areas to the north and west of the mine are currently in citrus grove production and are not available for mining. The area to the east of the existing mine contains a higher percentage of wetland areas. This land is not available for purchase for mining. State Road 82 lies to the south of the project site and would be a barrier to transport mined material across that busy highway to the processing plant. The following points summarize the alternative site assessment effort: • The sand resource is only located in a few locations within the area. There simply are not any other parcels with less wetlands having high quality sand available at adequate depth. The fact that the proposed area of mining provides a higher yield per acre means that the overall footprint of the mining is smaller than it would be at other locations. Overall, this means that this expansion uses less land than other areas, and therefore has less environmental impacts. • The expansion area is located directly adjacent to a processing facility so is unique and no other parcel in the area has this capability. The reduced travel distance will be an asset to Page 34 of 36 Page 1151 of 1180 IMMOKALEE SAND MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2025 the environment in reducing the ultimate carbon footprint of the operation. Utilizing other sites within the area would create the need for an additional processing plant which would add to the mining area footprint and lands needed for disturbance. • The mine site is located directly adjacent to SR 82 which is a major roadway corridor providing access to Collier, Lee, and Hendry Counties. • Finally, the subject site is located directly adjacent to the existing processing facility. Research of alternative sites equivalent to the expansion area reveals that no equivalent sites are available for mining by Immokalee Sand. After working through the alternatives, avoidance, and minimization criteria, any wetland impacts that cannot be avoided must be mitigated for. The following wetland mitigation is proposed to compensate for the unavoidable impacts. The wetland mitigation program proposed involves purchase of wetland mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank.. As demonstrated through UMAM calculations/analyses, it is anticipated that this mitigation program will compensate for the project's proposed wetland impacts. A. UMAM scores for wetlands to be impacted and the functional loss resulting from these impacts.

CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ANALYSIS Development of the Immokalee Sand Mine expansion area will necessitate impacts to two on - site wetlands that, together, total 6.6 acres. These wetlands are isolated and substantially degraded, with UMAM scores ranging from a low of 0.27 to a high of 0.43. The proposed mitigation credit purchase will compensate for these proposed impacts. In addition, the on -site wetland enhancement program will also improve the functional value of wetland and upland habitats located in the preserve area though this improvement is not being applied towards the project's mitigation requirements. The wetlands to be impacted are all located within the West Collier watershed (drainage basin). Since the proposed wetland impacts will be fully compensated by mitigation banks credits from a bank located in the same drainage basin as the impacts, there should be no adverse cumulative impacts upon wetlands and other surface waters within the drainage basin. The proposed project should not adversely affect the quality of receiving waters located in the drainage basin. Appropriate best management practices employed during project construction and operation will ensure protection of off -site water quality. The project's stormwater management system has been designed to provide water quality treatment and attenuation that meets applicable design standards/criteria. Because of this, discharges from the project's lake following mine reclamation should also not adversely impact water quality in off -site wetlands or OSWs. All the wetlands proposed for impacts are completely isolated, being surrounded by active agricultural operations. This factor, coupled with the disturbed and degraded characteristics of these wetlands and their small size, prevents the wetlands from having any appreciable current contributions to the water resources in the overall drainage basin. The Western Collier drainage basin is extensive and contains several areas where future development is either already permitted or is anticipated. It is assumed that other development projects in the basin seeking to impact wetlands similar to those on the Mine property will typically provide mitigation for these impacts in the same basin. It can also be reasonably assumed that this mitigation will fully compensate for the wetland functions lost via proposed impacts and that the projects will adequately protect regional water quality, otherwise the projects would not receive necessary permits. The impacts of these other projects combined with those of the Mine project should therefore not cause unacceptable cumulative impacts upon wetlands and OSWs in the Western Collier watershed.

The subject property is approximately 898 acres in size. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has jurisdiction over SR 82. Refer to Figure 1— Project Location Map and Appendix A: Project Master Site Plan. Figure 1— Project Location Map Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 14 Page 1157 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 The project site is a sand mine. A Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) dated September 3, 2015, was prepared for the Immokalee Sand Mine SDP. The SDP was reviewed and approved for permit issuance by Collier County on February 14, 2019. This CUR does not propose any changes to the operations that would impact the trip generation of the facility detailed in the September 3, 2015, TIS. This CUR proposes to expand the excavation area into (and eliminating) the wildlife corridor and former FDEP preserve area to the north and east. If the CUR is approved, the mine will be operational for approximately 36 years. The development program is illustrated in the Table 1. Table 1 Development Program Note(s): *N/A = Not Available. Trip generation determination is based on a comparable sand mine. The project's access connection to the surrounding roadway network is a full access connection onto SR 82. A methodology meeting was held with the Collier County Transportation Planning staff on May 23, 2025, via email (ref. Appendix B: Initial Meeting Checklist (Methodology Meeting)). Trip Generation As identified in the September 3, 2015, TIS, the Source of Trip Generation Rates is Cemex Time -in -Plant data sheets for a comparable sand mine, as approved for the Immokalee Sand Mine Conditional Use Traffic Study (revised May 27, 2009) and 2nd Sufficiency Response (October 15, 2009). No reductions for internal capture or pass -by trips have been considered in this TIS. A summary of the project trip generation calculations for the approved SDP and the proposed CUR is illustrated in Table 2, below. Detailed calculations can be found in Appendix C — Trip Generation Calculations.

Based on the information contained in Collier County 2024 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR), the peak hour forthe adjacent roadway network is PM peak hour and the peak direction for SR 82 is southbound. Trip Distribution and Assignment The traffic generated by the proposed project is assigned to the adjacent roadways using the knowledge of the area and engineering judgement. The site -generated trip distribution is shown in Table 3 and it is graphically depicted in Figure 2 — Project Distribution by Percentage and by PM Peak Hour. Table 3 Proposed CUR —Traffic Distribution for PM Peak Hour Note(s): *Peak hour, peak direction traffic volumes are underlined and bold to be used in Roadway Link Level of Service calculations. Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 16 Page 1159 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 Figure 2 — Project Distribution by Percentage and by PM Peak Hour Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 17 Page 1160 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 Background Traffic Average background traffic growth rates are estimated for the segments of the roadway network in the study area using the Collier County Transportation Planning Staff guidance of a minimum 2% growth rate, or the historical growth rate from peak hour peak direction volume (estimated from 2008 through 2024), whichever is greater. Another way to derive the background traffic is to use the 2024 Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) volume plus the trip bank volume. The higher of the two determinations is to be used in the Roadway Link Level of Service analysis. Table 4, Background Traffic without Project illustrates the application of projected growth rates to generate the projected background (without project) peak hour peak direction traffic volume for the planning horizon year 2030. Table 4 Background Traffic without Project (2024 - 2030) ® 88.0 Lee County Line 890 2.0% 1.1262 1,002 67 957 to Project 88.0 Project to SR 29 890 2.0% 1.1262 1,002 67 957 Note(s): *Annual Growth Rate — based on peak hour, peak direction volume (from 2008 through 2024), or 2% minimum. **Growth Factor = (1 + Annual Growth Rate )6. 2030 Projected Volume = 2024 AUIR Volume x Growth Factor. ***2030 Projected Volume = 2024 AUIR Volume +Trip Bank. The projected 2030 Peak Hour — Peak Direction Background Traffic is the greater of the Growth Factor or Trip Bank calculation, which is underlined and bold as applicable. Existing and Future Roadway Network The existing roadway conditions are extracted from the Collier County 2024 AUIR, and the project roadway conditions are based on the FDOT Work Program. Roadway improvements that are currently under construction or are scheduled to be constructed within the five-year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) or Capital Improvement program (CIP) are considered to be committed improvements. SR 82 was expanded as a four -lane divided roadway a few years ago. As such, the evaluated roadways have committed improvements. The existing and future roadway conditions are illustrated in Table 5, Existing and Future Roadway Conditions. Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 18 Page 1161 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 Table 5 Existing and Future Roadway Conditions Note(s): 2U = 2-lane undivided roadway; 4D, 6D, 8D = 4-lane, 6-lane, 8-lane divided roadway, respectively; LOS = Level of Service. Project Impacts to Area Roadway Network -Link Analysis The Collier County Transportation Planning Services developed Level of Service (LOS) volumes for the roadway links impacted by the project, which are evaluated to determine the project impacts to the area roadway network in the future horizon year 2030. The Collier County Transportation Planning Services guidelines have determined that a project will be considered to have a significant and adverse impact if both the percentage volume capacity exceeds 2% of the capacity for the link directly accessed by the project and for the link adjacent to the link directly accessed by the project; 3% for other subsequent links and if the roadway is projected to operate below the adopted LOS standard. Based on these criteria, this project does not create any significant impacts to the area roadway network. The analyzed link is not projected to exceed the adopted LOS standard with or without the project at 2030 build -out conditions. Table 6, Roadway Link Level of Service illustrates the LOS traffic impacts of the project to the area roadway network. The analyzed roadway segment is not located within the Collier County's Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA). In addition, the proposed development is not situated within the County's designated Transportation Concurrency Management Area (TCMA). The TCEA's and TCMA's designations are provided in Policy 5.4 and 5.6 of the Transportation Element — Collier County Growth Management Plan (GMP). Table 6 Roadway Link Level of Service (LOS) — With Project in the Year 2030 88.0 Lee County Line 2,000 (SB) SB — 0 1,002 0.0% No No to Project 88.0 Project to SR 29 21000 (SB) S13-0 1,002 0.0% No No Note(s): *Refer to Table 3 from this report. **2030 Projected Volume = 2030 background (refer to Table 4) + Project Volume added. Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 19 Page 1162 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 As illustrated in Collier County LDC Chapter 6.02.02 — M. 2, once traffic from a development has been shown to be less than significant on any segment using Collier County TIS significance criterion, the development's impacts are not required to be analyzed further on any additional segments. Site Access Turn Lane Analysis Access to the project site is as follows: one full access opening from SR 82. The SR 82 Right -of -Way improvements are based on the existing complete conditions. SR 82 is a 4-lane divided other principal arterial under FDOT jurisdiction and has a posted legal speed of 60 mph and design speed of 65 mph in the vicinity of the project. Based on FDOT FDM Exhibit 212-1 (01/01/2025), for a design speed of 65 mph, the minimum turn lane length is 460 feet (which includes a 50-foot taper) plus required queue. For the left turn lane, it has a length of 660 feet including a 50-foot taper. Based on the mid -morning (peak hour of generator) traffic volume making the left turn, a queue length of 90 feet is required for a total turn lane length of 550 feet, which is less than the planned 660 feet. Refer to Table 7: Turn Lane Queue Lengths. For the right turn lane, it has a length of 460 feet including a 50-foot taper. Because the right turn is free flowing, no storage is required. The planned 460 feet for the right turn lane is adequate. Refer to Table 7: Turn Lane Queue Lengths. Table 7 Turn Lane Queue Lengths Note(s): Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) Factor = 1.5. The right turn is free flowing so no storage is required. Improvement Analysis Based on the results illustrated within this traffic analysis, the proposed project is not a significant and adverse traffic generator for the roadway network at this location. For recently improved 4-lane divided SR 82, there is adequate and sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate the proposed development generated trips without adversely affecting adjacent roadway network level of service. Based upon the results of the turn lane analysis, the existing Left and right turn lane improvements on SR 82 are adequate to support the project. The maximum total daily trip generation for the CU-CUR shall not exceed 26 two-way PM peak hour net trips based on the trip generation rates in effect at the time of application for SDP/SDPA approval.

The trip generation is unchanged from the 2015 SDP TIS. Studv tvve: Since proiected net new external AM or PM project traffic is less than 50 two- wav peak hour trips, this studv qualifies for a Small Scale TIS — no significant roadwav and/or operational impacts. Proposed TIS will include trip veneration, traffic distribution and assignments, significance test (based on 2%/20/o/3% criterion), and operational site access analysis. The report will provide existing LOS and document the impact the proposed change will have on designated arterial and collector roads. Roadway concurrency analysis —based on estimated net new external PM traffic. The TIS shall be consistent with Collier County TIS Guidelines and Procedures and will address all transportation elements of the GMP and update conditions for consistency with the CUR. The TIS will include a trip limit for maximum total daily trip generation. Site Access — The development has one access connection on SR 82 (FDOT jurisdiction).

Trip Generation The daily and PM peak -hour trip generation estimates for the Project were estimated based on Timc-In-Plant data 9hects for 10 days for a comparable Cemex sand mine provided by the applicant. The data sheets provide daily and hottrly truck activity at the comparable Cemex sand mine cum-nily in operation. A summary oftheTime-In-Plant data and an hourly variation graph are provided in Appendix G, alnng with the Time-bi-Plant data sheets far 10 days. The Time -In -Plant data for 10 hays indicates that the ;proposed sand mine is anticipated to produce an average of approximately 611 truck loads of material per day_ Using this information, daily truck trips were estimated to be 1,222 daily inbound and otithound trips (611 x 2). The average hourly variation from the graph indicates that the PM peak hour trips would be approximately 21% ofthe daily truck trips. The PM peak hour truck trips were estimated and are presented in Exhibit 4. A small number of maintenance, visitor, and vendor trips were assumed to access the Pmieot at various times throughoui the day. To account for these trips, an adjustment factor of five percent was applied to the hourly truck volume_ On -site muse muployccs arc anticipated to work in thrcc eight -hour shills co-mring the 24- hours of day. However, these drift changes will not occur betwcen the hour of 4-6 PM. Thercrom they were not inchtded in the PM peak -hour analysis_ The daily and PM peak hour trip gcncration is summarized below. 4 Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA P a g e 1 23 Page 1176 of 1180 Immokalee Sand Mine — CUR — TIS June, 2025 ncrati n {I t Net.
