CCPC Agenda 03/22/2007 GMP (CP-05-14) TJW~ -- - - - ---- ... MANAGEMENT /11M Pi/.oi'Gf<.1'( #-/J2 , January 21, 2004 Mr. Mac Hatcher Community Development and Environmental Services Division 2800 N. Horseshoe Drive Naples, FL 34104 Subject: Determination of Sending and Receiving lands relative to parcel numbers 770120003 and 751440003 Dear Mac; Thank you for taking the time to meet with me in December regarding the disposition of two portions of parcels owned by West Florida Agro, Ltd. (WFA Land Co.) in the southern portion of the Rural Fringe Assessment Area. You may recall from our discussion that portiQDs of two parcels, (Folio Nos. 770120003 and 751440003) were designat€<f'as Sending lands during the Rural Fringe Assessment. Those areas are identified on exhibit 1 (attached) and on a copy of the map the property owner received titled "Your Parcel Locations", also attached. The property owner is requesting a re-evaluation of the two identified portions of these parcels and believes they were mistakenly identified as "Sending" when they should be designated as "Receiving" Lands. The approximate location of the dividing line between Sending and Receiving lands is shown on an aerial (Exhibit 1). More specifically, the two areas are shown in greater detail on two aerials, exhibits 2 and 3. In both cases, closer scrutiny indicates that the areas do not consist of native vegetation, but are part of the active agriculture operation that has been occurring on-site for decades. More specifically, both areas are ditched and diked and are used as impoundment areas for water that is both pumped onto and extracted from the land. The stark contrast between the two agricultural areas identified and the adjacent un-impacted lands is quite clear on the attached exhibits. I took photos of the area, but the height of the berms and the difficulty of crossing the canals made them of marginal use. I would however be happy to accompany you or one of the environmental staff on a site visit to confirm that the areas are in use and do not represent in any way a native landscape worthy of designation as a "Sending Area". Phone: 239-262-6197 fax: 239-262-6198 . Email: TalonMonagement@earthlink,net Office Address: 3898 Tamiami Trail North, Suite 202, Naples, Fl34103- Moiling Address: P.O Box 9229, Naples, FL 34101 Please review this information and contact me with any questions. We are currently trying to work with the Public Works Department to assist them in determining appropriate locations for water and wastewater treatment facilities in addition to wells for extraction of potable water. An expeditious review of this matter would assist us greatly in meeting their requested timeframe with regard to the future location of public facilities. Once I have a written recommendation from you, I will submit it with a cover letter to Glenn Heath with a formal request for a change in designation.

The property is located approximately 1.8 miles south of Golden Gate Boulevard and 1.2 miles west of the Everglades Boulevard in Collier County, Low density residential and a nursery are located to the north, and a fruit orchard is located on the southwestern edge of the property. Forested lands are located to the east, south, and west of the property, VEGETATION COMMUNITIES Vegetation mapping for the property was accomplished using a 2000 Collier County color aerial photographs, Groundtruthing of vegetation communities was conducted on March 27,2002. The vegetation associations and land uses were mapped utilizing the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS), Level III and IV (Florida Department of Transportation 1999), Level IV was used to denote exotic infestations, anthropogenic disturbances, and hydrological conditions. The FLUCFCS map was generated using AutoCAD (Version 2000) and is provided as Figure 2, An aerial photograph with FLUCFCS overlay is provided as Appendix A, A total of eight vegetative associations and land use types (i.e., FLUCFCS Codes) were identified on the property, Table I summarizes the FLUCFCS Codes and provides an acreage breakdown.

JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) jurisdictional wetlands were estimated in the field during the March 27, 2002 vegetation mapping, The wetlands were identified per the "Delineation ofthe Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters" (Chapter 62-340, Florida Administrative Code). Flagging of the wetland lines and confirmation with the agencies was not included within the scope of this assessment. Jurisdictional wetlands and "other surface waters" by FLUCFCS Code are summarized in Table 3. The estimated SFWMD jurisdictional wetlands for the property are shown on Figure 2, SFWMD jurisdictional wetlands constitute a total of 1.13:0 acres or 1.3 percent of the site, Table 3.

Consulting Ecologists < i g , INC. SOILS MAP CLARK-NORTH BELLE MEADE PROPERTY DRAWN By: BKM. DATE: 3/18/02 5 r It appears that historically a greater portion of the property may have been wetland habitats. This is evident from the soils mapping, which depicts the majority of the property as having hydric (i.e" wetland) soil types, However, the construction of the Golden Gate Canal system appears to have effectively drained the property reducing on-site surface water levels. A large drainage canal is located within a Y2 mile of the property to the north and west (Figure 4), LISTED SPECIES A listed species survey was conducted on May 2, 2002 to determine whether the site was being utilized by state or federal listed species. The listed wildlife species survey included, but was not limited to, red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Southeastern American kestrel (Falco sparverius paulus), bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), woodstork (Mycteria americana), gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) and their commensals, such as the Eastern Indigo snake (Drymarchon corais couperi), gopher frog (Rana areolata), Big Cypress fox squirrel (Sciurus niger avicennia), Florida black bear (Ursus americanus j1oridanus), and Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi) (FGFWFC 1997). The listed wildlife species survey included species typical to upland and wetland habitats in this geographical region, In particular, the survey was conducted to identify gopher tortoises and their burrows, as well as red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees, The 84, I 2", acre tract was surveyed for wildlife species listed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) and U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern. The survey was conducted by a qualified ecologist walking transects through suitable habitat to ensure that sufficient visual coverage of the habitat was obtained, Transects were spaced from 25 feet to 100 feet apart, depending on habitat. Habitats were inspected for listed wildlife species, At regular intervals the ecologist stopped, remained quiet, and listened for wildlife vocalizations. Additional observations for listed species were conducted incidental to on-site activities associated with vegetation mapping on March 27, 2002, Gopher tortoise sign (i.e., scat) were observed within the pine flatwoods and palmetto prairie habitats during the May 2, 2002 survey. No listed wildlife species were observed on the property during the vegetation mapping conducted on March 27, 2002. ~I The "Florida Atlas of Breeding Sites for Herons and Their Allies" (Runde et al. 1991) was referenced for the location of breeding colonies for both listed and non-listed wading birds including the snowy egret (Egretta thula), tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor), little blue heron (Egretta caerulea), woodstork, and white ibis (Eudocimus albus). There was no reference in the atlas to any breeding colonies located within or adjacent to the project site, I i_oj I ,I Review of FWCC occurrence records for listed species found no records of red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees, bald eagle nests, Florida black bear telemetry points, or Florida panther telemetry points on the property. Florida black bear telemetry points were recorded just east of the property in Section 13. The nearest recorded panther telemetry points were I y, miles to the south of the property, The property is not located in Priority I or Priority 2 panther habitat, as designated by the Florida Panther Habitat Preservation Plan (Logan et ai, 1993). 6 r;.;..:-:-:~ "" .. ~"',,_ .. ,...",~ -o1!;o..

A total of eight vegetation associations and land use types were identified on the property, The dominant vegetation community is Cabbage Palm, Drained (FLUCFCS Code 4285), which occupies 54.5 percent of the property. SFWMD jurisdictional wetlands occupy 1.13* acres or 1.3 percent of the property. The property may have historically contained a greater percentage of wetlands as evidenced by the soil types; however, the adjacent canal system has effectively drained the property, Gopher tortoise sign (i.e., scat) was observed within the pine flatwoods and palmetto prairie habitats during the May 2, 2002 listed species survey, A review of the FWCC records found no recorded occurrences of listed wildlife species on the property.

The property is located approximately 1.8 miles south of Golden Gate Boulevard and 1.5 miles west of the Everglades Boulevard in Collier County. A residence is located in the center of the site with a fruit orchard occupying much of property, Low density residential is located to the north, and undeveloped forested lands are located to the east, south, and west of the property. VEGETATION COMMUNITIES Vegetation mapping for the property was accomplished using a 2000 Collier County color aerial photograph. Groundtruthing of vegetation communities was conducted on March 27, 2002. The vegetation associations and land uses were mapped utilizing the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS), Level III and IV (Florida Department of Transportation 1999), Level IV was used to denote exotic infestations, anthropogenic disturbances, and hydrological conditions. The FLUCFCS map was generated using AutoCAD (Version 2000) and is provided as Figure 2, An aerial photograph with FLUCFCS overlay is provided as Appendix A. A total of seven vegetative associatIOns and land use types (i.e., FLUCFCS Codes) were identified on the property, Table I summarizes the FLUCFCS Codes and provides an acreage breakdown. Table 1.

No SFWMD jurisdictional wetlands or "other surface waters" were identified on the property. It appears that historically, the property may have contained wetland habitats, This is evident from the soils mapping, which depicts the majority of the property as having hydric (i.e" wetland) soil types, However, the construction of the Golden Gate Canal system appears to have effectively drained the property reducing on-site surface water levels. A large drainage canal is located within a V2 mile of the property to the west (Figure 4). LISTED SPECIES A listed species survey was conducted on May 2, 2002 to determine whether the site was being utilized by state or federal listed species, The listed wildlife species survey included, but was not limited to, red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Southeastern American kestrel (Falco sparverius paulus), bald eagle (Haliaeelus leucocephalus), wood stork (Mycleria americana), gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) and their commensals, such as the Eastern Indigo snake (Drymarchon corais couperi), gopher frog (Rana areolala), Big Cypress fox squirrel (Sciurus 4 , SoIllk1it DesaipUOI1 Stalu, 2 Ha...CPAW FS, UfvESl'C:X\E SUBSTAA1Uv1 HYORJC ~ 14 AI'HlA FS, UMESTOI\E SUBSTRA1Uv1 H\U9IC SOilS MAP SCANNED FROM NRCS 16 amMA9 FS N:JN.HY[Jl:IC COlliER COUNTy SOIL SURVEY. 18 RIVIERA FS, UMES1O\E SUBSTRA1Uv1 HYrnC 49 I-W..1.Jl1\DOd.

DRAWN BY: BKM DATE: 2/25/02 ~ niger avicennia), Florida black bear (Ursus american us floridanus), and Florida panther (Felis concolor coryi) (FGFWFC 1997). The listed wildlife species survey included species typical to upland habitats in this geographical region. In particular, the survey was conducted to identify gopher tortoises and their burrows, as well as red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees, The 39.4", acre tract was surveyed for wildlife species listed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) and U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern. The survey was conducted by a qualified ecologist walking transects through suitable habitat to ensure that sufficient visual coverage of the habitat was obtained. Transects were spaced from 25 feet to 100 feet apart, depending on habitat. Habitats were inspected for listed wildlife species, At regular intervals the ecologist stopped, remained quiet, and listened for wildlife vocalizations. Additional observations for listed species were conducted incidental to on-site activities associated with vegetation mapping on March 27, 2002. No listed wildlife species were observed on the property during the May 2, 2002 listed species surveyor during the vegetation mapping conducted on March 27, 2002, The "Florida Atlas of Breeding Sites for Herons and Their Allies" (Runde et al. 1991) was referenced for the location of breeding colonies for both listed and non-listed wading birds including the snowy egret (Egretta thula), tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor), little blue heron (Egretta caerulea), woodstork, and white ibis (Eudocimus albus), There was no reference in the atlas to any breeding colonies located within or adjacent to the project site. Review of FWCC occurrence records for listed species found no records of red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees, bald eagle nests, Florida black bear telemetry points, or Florida panther telemetry points on the property, The nearest recorded panther telemetry points were 1 y, miles to the south of the property. The property is not located in Priority I or Priority 2 panther habitat, as designated by the Florida Panther Habitat Preservation Plan (Logan et al. 1993). SUMMARY A wetland, vegetation communities, and listed species assessment was conducted for the 39.46", acre Mitchell-North Belle Meade property. A total of seven vegetation associations and land use types were identified on the property. The dominant land use is Fruit Orchards (FLUCFCS Code 222), which occupies 58,6 percent of the property. No SFWMD jurisdictional wetlands were identified on the property, The property may have historically contained wetlands as evidenced by the soil types; however, the adjacent canal system has effectively drained the property. No listed wildlife species were observed on the property during the May 2, 2002 listed species surveyor during the vegetation mapping conducted on March 27, 2002. A review of the FWCC records found no recorded occurrences of listed wildlife species on the property, 7 REFERENCES Florida Association of Environmental Soil Scientists, ] 995, Hydric Soils of Florida Handbook, Second Edition, Victor W, Carlisle, Ed.

Erwin Consulting Ecologist, Inc,) mapped the major upland and wetland vegetation communities found on-site using recent 1 "=1 00' scale georeferenced Collier County aerial photography and the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS) mapping nomenclature, Level IV, Groundtruthing was conducted to ensure the accuracy of the mapping effort, A map has been prepared depicting the approximate location, configuration, and approximate size of areas subject to the wetland jurisdiction of the SFWMD (South Florida Water Management District) andlor COE (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) (Figure 2). The wetland mapping has not been confirmed by the SFWMD andlor COE. A preliminary survey for listed wildlife species and their potential habitat was also conducted during the vegetation mapping, Intense wildlife surveys were not conducted. Results A total of five vegetation communities were mapped on the subject properties. These communities are described as follows: Palmetto Prairies (FLUCFCS Code 321) This community is located in the southeastern portion of Parcel 2. Dominant species include saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), coastalplain staggerbush (Lyonia fruticosa), winged sumac (Rhus copallina), greenbrier (Smilax sp,), muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia), and pennyroyal (Piloblephis rigida), with scattered cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto) throughout. , , ~ ~ " N ~ ~ ~ " ~ ~ " N @ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ .~ ~/ o ~ ~ ~ o ~ ~ '" 17th , ~ , " > , ~ ~ , ~ ~ ~ " ~ , C . ~ ~ .

Pine Flatwoods (FLUCFCS Code 411) This community primarily exists throughout the majority of Parcels 1, 2, and 3, Slash pine (Pinus elliotii) is the dominant canopy species, with a significant amount of cabbage palm in the midstory, Groundcover species include muscadine grape, Caesar's weed (Urena lobata), American beautyberry (Ca//icarpa americana), dogfennel (Eupatorium capi//ifo/ium), chocolateweed (Melochia corchorifo/ia), pennyroyal, and scattered saw palmetto, A hot fire appears to have occurred in this habitat several years ago and many of the pines are dead. Cabbage palms are now the dominant trees in portions of this habitat (e,g" the southern half of Parcel 1 ), A second version of this community exists throughout the majority of Parcel 5. This pine flatwoods community contains large pines in the overstory and is densely vegetated by cabbage palms in the midstory, Groundcover species include dogfennel, muscadine grape, and Caesar's weed, with areas of bare ground due to the dense canopy cover. This habitat appears to be more mesic than the first pine f1atwoods community mentioned above, Melaleuca, Hvdric (FLUCFCS Code 4241) This wetland community is located at the south end of Parcel 3, It is a nearly pure stand of melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) with a few scattered cabbage palms. Groundcover species include swamp fern (Blechnum serrulatum) and maidencane (Panicum hemitomon), with a significant amount of bare ground. Cabbaqe Palm (FLUCFCS Code 428) This vegetation community exists throughout Parcels 4A and 48, and at the north end of Parcel 5, Cabbage palms are scattered throughout this area and are the dominant canopy species, A few scattered bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) also exist. Midstory species include button bush (Cephalanthus occidenta/is) and saltbush (Baccharis ha/imifo/ia), with some scattered melaleuca, Groundcover consists of dense peppervine (Ampelopsis arboreal and muscadine grape, with pockets of wetland species such as sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) and Virginia chain fern (Woodwardia virginica) found throughout. It is obvious that this area was historically a functional wetland, however, it no longer possesses the proper hydrology to be called a wetland. Final wetland determination responsibility rests upon the regulatory agencies (Le" SFWMD and COE). Hvdric Pine Flatwoods (FLUCFCS Code 625) These wetland communities exist as small isolated pockets within Parcels 1 and 2. Slash pine is the dominant canopy species, with scattered bald cypress in the midstory. Dominant groundcover species include maidencane, muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris), swamp fern, sawgrass, and chocolateweed, 4 , Listed Species Parcels 1, 2, and 3 contain suitable foraging habitat and potential nesting habitat (Le" large live pines) for the red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Parcel 5 contains potential foraging habitat, but the dense midstory vegetation reduces the potential for nesting red-cockaded woodpeckers. The red-cockaded woodpecker is listed as Species of Special Concern by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and as Endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), One red-cockaded woodpecker was observed foraging on a small pine at the north end of Parcel 1. This bird flew southwest across the property (see Figure 2 for the flight path). In order to develop portions of red-cockaded woodpecker habitat negotiations with the FWC and FWS will be necessary and mitigation may be required. , There is always potential for the Florida panther (Felis con color coryl) to occur in rural Collier County habitats. Although this potential may be low, the species is listed as Endangered by the FWC and FWS and therefore suitable habitat is protected, Further investigations and consultation with the FWC and FWS may be required prior to development. The Florida black bear (Ursus americanus f1oridanus) also may potentially occur on these parcels due to the proximity to large areas of native habitats. The Florida black bear is listed as Threatened by the FWC and consultation with this agency may be required prior to development. Common wild pine (Tillandsia fasciculata) was observed in Parcels 4A and 5, This air plant is listed as Endangered by the FWC. Permits from Collier County are required to remove listed plant species, Soils According to the Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida tne following six soil types exist on-site (Figure 3): Holopaw fine sand, limestone substratum (85% hydric) Malabar fine sand (90% hydric) Chobee, limestone substratum, Dania muck, depressional (100%) Pineda fine sand, limestone substratum (95% hydric) Riviera fine sand, limestone substratum (95% hydric) Boca fine sand (40% hydric) Although hydric soils are present on-site this does not necessarily indicate the presence of wetlands, especially if the site has been drained. 5 ro 1ii 0 .!!l W '0 0:: (j) 8 ,!,1 c. 0 --J '" Z ~ 0 :2' W [2 19 :r: .!!2 W I c '(5 --J :r: c CI) :J ~ 0 ~ u ~ OJ I c.

Based on the evaluation of available data, Receiving Lands have a lesser degree of environmental or listed species habitat value than Sending Lands and generally have been disturbed through development, or previous or existing agricultural operations, The adjacent sections of land to the north (Section 20), northeast (Section 21), and east (Section 28) of the subject properties are currently designated as Receiving Lands, According to the 2003 aerial photography available at the Collier County Property Appraiser website, these sections contain large areas of habitats similar to those found in Section 29, which is designated as Sending Lands, Section 28 is labeled as less environmentally sensitive (Le" Receiving Lands) than Section 29, however it appears that Section 28 actually contains more native areas, including large wetlands, than Section 29, Section 21 also contains large wetlands and forested native areas, Also, a large ornamental plant nursery exists within Section 29, in addition to at least one residence, demonstrating that development impacts already exist within this section, It is our contention that the subject properties, located within Section 29, should have their designations changed from Sending Lands to Receiving Lands to remain consistent with the designations of the surrounding properties. This is based upon the presence of native habitats, wetlands, listed species, and current development both on-site and within the adjacent lands, 7 July 20, 2004 JVI fr p y gD 'f'~Ja'( :#= 23 ': 21 Glen E.

The purpose was to evaluate the parcels for environmental concerns as they relate to current North Belle Meade Overlay (NBMO) designations. Specifically the parcels were examined for jurisdictional wetlands, Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soils types, and potential wildlife\protected species habitat. Location Details & Folio Numbers The parcels evaluated in this report are as follows: Parcel #1: 4.90 Acres Located in S14, T49S, R27E (Folio #:00304960008) Parcel #2: 18.40 Acres Located in S22, T49S, R27E (Folio #:00312160007) Both parcels are immediately adjacent to receiving lands. The specific parcel locations are illustrated on the attached Collier County North Belle Meade Overlay Map. Wetlands The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) are the regulatory agencies that regulate development activities in wetlands. In general, to be considered wetland by the ACOE or the SFWMD, the parcel of land should exhibit hvdric soils, wetland hvdrologv (signs of water), and wetland vegetation. Hvdric Soils Hydric soils are identified by certain characteristics that are unique to wetland soils. The soils for the entire county have been previously mapped by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). These mappings are general in nature, but can provide a certain level of information about the site as to the possible extent of wetland area, The agencies commonly use these mappings as justification for certain wetland determinations. According to the NRCS, both parcels are underlain by 2 soils types: NRCS 14 Pineda fine sand, limestone substratum (hydric) NRCS 16 Oldsmar fine sand, (non-hydric) A NRCS soils map is attached that details specific soil type locations on the subject parcels. Wetland Hvdrologv Wetland hydrology is normally present if the soil is saturated or inundated for a long duration during the growing season, which normally occurs during the wet season. In our region, the wet season occurs in the summer and early fall, therefore, if an area exhibits soil saturation or is inundated for a period of time the area is considered to have wetland hydrology. In the absence of visual signs of saturation or inundation, one may use hydrologic indicators such as adventitious rooting on melaleuca, lichen lines, rafting of pine needles, or algal matting. On the subject properties, there was no standing water on any portion ofthe sites. There were minor signs of adventitious rooting on melaleuca in the portion of the property mapped below as hydric me1aleuca. Wetland Vegetation Wetland vegetation is present if the majority of the plants that are present are ones that are adapted to saturated soil conditions. Vegetation communities on this property were mapped in the field according to the system in use by the agencies, the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS). The parcels contain the following Florida Land Use and Cover Classification System (FLUCFCS) communities (See attached FLUCFCS map for specific locations): Parcel #1 (4.9 acres) FLUCFCS 411, Pine Flatwoods This community makes up the entire parcel. It is dominated by slash pine and cabbage palm with scattered cypress in the canopy. Mid-story contains saw palmetto. Other vegetation present includes grapevine, myrsine, Brazilian pepper, poison ivy, and Caesar's weed. It is anticipated these areas would not be considered jurisdictional wetlands by the agencies. Parcel #2 (18.4 acres) FLUCFCS 321, Palmetto Prairie This community is found on the eastern portion of the property. It is dominated by widely scattered slash pine and cabbage palm in the canopy, Mid-story is extremely dense saw palmetto. Groundcover includes grapevine, poison ivy, and Caesar's weed. It is anticipated these areas would not be considered jurisdictional wetlands by the agencies. FLUCFCS 411, Pine Flatwoods This community makes up the majority of the property, It is dominated by slash pine and cabbage palm with scattered cypress in the canopy. Mid-story contains scattered saw palmetto. Other vegetation present includes grapevine, myrsine, Brazilian pepper, poison ivy, and Caesar's weed. It is anticipated these areas would not be considered jurisdictional wetlands by the agencies. FLUCFCS 424H, Hydric Melaleuca This community is found on the western portion of the property. It is dominated by melaleuca & slash pine in the canopy. Melaleuca is very thick with densities generally greater than 75%. Other vegetation present includes scattered cypress, grapevine, swamp fern, and poison ivy. Due to vegetation present and marginal signs of hydrology, these areas mav be considered jurisdictional wetlands by the agencies. Wildlife A protected species survey has not been conducted on either parcel, however based on the habitat present some estimations can be made regarding what listed species might occur on the subject properties. The FLUCFCS codes listed above have been cross-referenced with a list of protected species (FWC-Florida's Endangered Species, Threatened Species & Species of Special Concern- Official Lists, Publication Date: August I, 1997), The result is a composite table that contains the names of the protected species which have the highest probability of occurring in each particular FLUCFCS community, See below for the table that applies to the Migliazzo parcels: Protected species list according to FLUCFCS categorv.

The Migliazzo parcels are marked on this map in purple. The FWC model ranked habitat from 0 to 10, with 10 indicating the highest value for wildlife (focusing on listed species). A copy of the FWC document that details construction of the model is attached to this assessment. Summary FLUCFCS & Wetlands As can be seen from the FLUCFCS mappings there is no difference between the Migliazzo parcels and the properties to the north and west, which are located in receiving lands. Habitat types in the southern third of Section 15 (receiving lands) are nearly identical to those on the subject properties. Based on aerial interpretation and NRCS soils mapping, it appears that Section 15 has similar upland\wetland ratios as those found on the Migliazzo parcels. Wildlife As can be seen from the FWC habitat rankings, Sections 21 & 28 (both receiving lands) & Section 14 (neutral lands) have greater overall habitat rankings than Sections 14 & 22 where the Migliazzo parcels are located. In reviewing the attached maps and evaluating the Collier County North Belle Meade Overlay classifications as they relate to the Migliazzo parcels, it becomes quite obvious the arbitrary nature of the classifications. There is no compelling reason (other than the ease of section lines) that the Migliazzo parcels should have a NBMO classification different than the adjacent Section 15.

Integrated Wildlife Habitat Ranking System Office of Environmental Services Florida Rsh and Wildlife Conservation Commission 620 South Meridian St. Tallahassee, FL 32399-1600 December 7, 2001 Introduction The Florida Rsh and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Office of Environmental Services used GIS technology in working with existing resource data layers to identify and rank landscape level habitat areas which are important to a broad array of wildlife species. These species include mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles which are considered rare, or focal species, including wildlife which are officially listed by our agency as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern. The Integrated Wildlife Habitat Ranking System (modelresult.pdf and /modelfinaljmodelresult) resulted in a scored color-coded GIS map which depicts habitat values ranging from 1 to 10 based on a composite score of many important variables which collectively represent quality habitat. This information is provided as pa rt of our continuing technical assistance to the Florida Department of Transportation to assist in: (1) determining ways to avoid or minimize project impacts by evaluating alternative alignments and transportation corridors during early planning stages, (2) assessing direct, secondary, and cumulative impacts to habitat and wildlife resources, and (3) identifying appropriate parcels for public land acquisition for wetland and upland habitat mitigation purposes. The information provided is based on remote sensing data to assist in long-range planning. Onsite surveys, literature reviews, and direct coordination with our agency remain essential steps in documenting the presence or absence of fish and wildlife resources on a particular site prior to project initiation. The following information contains descriptions of the attached files and data sets used, methods of data preparation for use in the model, and contacts for further information. File Names The attached files in the /modellayers folder are the components of a model constructed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for the identification of areas important to wildlife in the State of Florida. carLsorgrid - Conservation And Recreation/Save Our Rivers Lands distopub - Distance To Public Lands f10ridavar - Landscape Diversity greenway - Habitat Connectivity habitatpatch - Roadless Habitat Patch Size Iistsplocs - Listed Species publandfinal - Public Lands scaledbear - Scored Black Bear Potential Habitat Model shcafinal - Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas sp_rich - Species Richness Proiection The data are provided in a customized Albers projection in the HPGN datum.

Name Land Cover Public Lands Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas (SHCA) Wildlife Potential Habitat Models Description TIle land cover image was created by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission using Landsat Thematic Mapper data collected from 1987 to 1989. The image includes 22 classes that correspond to habitat descriptions outlined by Davis (1967), Hartman (1978), and the Soil Conservation Service (1979). Kautz et al. (1993) give detailed descriptions on the methods of image preparation. A comprehensive accounting of conservation lands in Florida is compiled and updated by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) (lue et al. 2001). FNAI is the primary source for current boundary information for Florida conservation lands. Management practices can vary widely but all sites are potentially significant areas for wildlife conservation. The coverage utilized was current in April of 2001. The results of a study conducted by Cox et al. (1994). The SHCA identify privately owned lands needed to adequately protect 40 vertebrate species of wildlife, high quality rare habitats of Florida, roosting areas for bats, wetlands important to wading birds, and land important to the survival of 105 globally rare plant species. Based on known locations of species of wildlife, information on the land cover and vegetation types used by each spedes, and published or well documented Continued Florida Greenways Project Conservation and Recreation Lands (CARL) Save Our Rivers (SOR) Lands Information on the life-history requirements of the species potential habitat models were constructed on a species level (Cox et al. 1994, Cox and Kautz 2000). These models identify those areas that could serve as potential habitat for the spedes. Results from an analysis of potential ecoioglcal connectivity using land-use data such as important habitats for target species, priority ecological communities, wetlands, roadless areas, floodplains, and important aquatic systems to Identify areas with priority conservation significance and potential landscape linkages (Hoctor et al. 2000). Lands identified to conserve and protect unique natural areas, endangered species, unusual geologic features, wetlands, and archaeological and historical sites. The lands acquired under the program are maintained as parks, recreation areas, wildlife management areas, wildemess areas, forests and greenways. Funding source comes primarily through the sale of bonds. Using monies from the Water Management Lands Trust Fund and Preservation 2000, the $OR program enables the water management districts to acquire lands necessary for water management, water supply, and the conservation and protection of water resources including wildlife. File DescriDtions The files are in the form of grid data sets for use with the Spatial Analyst extension for the ArcView™ computer program. Each grid data set is actually a separate directory with associated tables and files that contain specific information about the grid. Each grid data set stores some files in an INFO directory found in the workspace. Because each grid data set stores files in and INFO directory, you can't rename, copy, or delete these files with your computer's file system. Rename, copy, or delete grid data sets with the Grid Manager supplied with the Spatial Analyst. Coverage Landscape Diversity floridavar Roadless Habitat Patch Size habili'JlDatch Methods The land cover image was reclassified using a Variety neighborhood statistic with a radius of one mile. This analysis identified the number of different land cover types within a one-mile radius of a pixel. Variety of habitat types within a one mile radius ranged from 1-16. The land cover Image was reciassed so that only categories representing native habitat were retained with a value of 1, all other areas were given a value of O. Next, to ensure that all major roads were accurately represented as sectioning the landscape, The Florida Geographic Data Library's Major Road Coverage was converted into a grid where all road networks were given a value of "no data" and all other areas were given a value of O. Next, using the map calculator, the reclassed landcover image was added to the road network grid and then a Region Group on the Image was performed to group the continuous blocks of habitat. Due to the size and scale of analysis a minimum habitat patch size of 0.15 km' was used. This size was chosen Continued Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas shcafinal UstedSpecles IistsDlocs SpecIes Richness &JKb because Mykytka and Pelton (1989) found that habitat patches >0.15' km (37 acres) were important components of black bear habitat in the Osceola National Forest. The Florida black bear represents an integral spedes in the model. The history of black bear roadkills in Florida is well documented (Gilbert and Wooding 1996, Wooding and Brady 1987), and this topic is an important component for this model to address. Additionally, the black bear is a habitat generalist and is considered an umbrella species whose conservation requirements will meet the needs of other species. Following this, the Image was reclassed based on the size of habitat parcels. Due to the extreme range of size of the parcels (from 0.15 km' to 6059 km') the areas were classed into quantiles and the habitat patches were scored based on which quartile they fell into. The scoring of patch sizes is given below: Value Criteria O. < 0.15 km' 1. 0.15 km' - 2.12 km' 2. 2.12 km' - 9.65 km' 3. 9.65 km' - 24.05 km' 4. 24.05 km' - 52.25 km' 5. 52.25 km' - 94.50 km' 6. 94.50 km' - 170.30 km' 7. 170.30 km' - 298.00 km' 8. 298.00 km' - 562.50 km' 9. 562.50 km' - 3030.50 km' 10. > 3030.50 km' All strategic habitat conservation areas were given a value of 1 with all other areas being O. Wildlife potential habitat models created by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for listed species were joined together. The image was classed based on the presence and listing status of species present and the species were then grouped and scored accordingly.. The ranking system of the coverage is given below: Value Criteria 1. 1 Species of Special Concern 2. 2-3 Species of Special Concern 3. 4-5 Species of Special Concern 4. 6-7 Spedes of Special Concern 5. 8-9 Spedes of Special Concern 6. 1 Threatened Species 7. 2-3 Threatened Species 8. 4-5 Threatened Species 9. 6-7 Threatened Species 10. >0 Endangered Species This coverage represents the wildlife potential habitat models of 130 focal spedes overlaid together into one coverage.

Greenway areas were given a value of 1 and all other areas were classed O. Lands Identified for both the CARL program and SOR that have not yet been purchased were merged together and given a value of one. All other areas were classed o. Model Construction Methodoloav The model was accomplished in three steps: (1) identification of variables to include in the model, (2) scoring and standardization of all variables, and (3) the final addition of all the variables to produce the final image. All work was conducted in raster format using the Spatial Analyst Extension of the ArcView software package (ESRI, Redlands CA). The cell, or pixel, size used for the analysis was 30 x 30 m. The variables used to identify areas important for wildlife were obtained by utilizing various datasets that were in the form of preexisting GIS data layers, or coverages. The coverages were selected by their ability to accurately represent the natural vegetation of the study area, represent areas currently and potentially protected for wildlife, model wildlife habitats and locations, and identify other areas critical to wildlife (see Data Sets above). In order to obtain all of the variables needed to identify areas important to wildlife; the original coverages were manipulated to identify those data needed for the model (see File Descriptions above). Depending on the type of data, scores were developed for each variable that were either binary or scaled. In order to standardize each coverage so that all coverages were equally represented in the model, a value range of 0-1 was imposed. For binary coverages this resulted in the value of 1 representing the landscape feature the coverage is modeling and a value of 0 representing all other areas. For scaled coverages, a cell's value was calculated by normalizing the range of values found in the data set. For example, if distance to public lands had a range of values from 0-10, the coverage was divided by 10, resulting in a new range of values from 0-1. The final image was constructed by simply adding all standardized coverages together. The resulting values assigned to the cells were proportional to its importance to wildlife, (e.g. the higher the value of a cell the more important it is to wildlife).

Section B-I-C-8 is titled "Adjustment to the Sending Land Boundaries." That paragraph provides that all properties that are designated Sending Lands and which are contiguous to a Neutral Land Boundary or a Receiving Land Boundary will receive written notice of an opportunity to submit additional data and analysis to the County in an attempt to demonstrate that a change to the appropriate boundaries is warranted. That section further provides that, within one year of the date that these notices are sent, the County will initiate a growth management plan amendment to consider boundary changes as may be warranted by the data and analysis submitted. On behalf of Francis D. Hussey, Jr. and Mary Pat Hussey, I am requesting that their property known as the "HHH Ranch" be considered as appropriate for redrawing the boundary between Sending and Receiving Lands within the North Belle Meade. A legal description of the parcels which compose the HHH Ranch property is attached to this letter as Exhibit A and a graphical depiction of these lands is attached Exhibit B. I note that Section B-I-C-8 was careful to utilize the word "property" and not the phrase "parcel." The reason for this specific term is the fact that a single piece of property may be composed of several parcels with distinct tax identification numbers. The HHH Ranch is an example of that type of property. Although it has been fenced as a single piece of property and ranched for two decades, the Property Appraiser continues to assess it as separate parcels. Accordingly, my request is made on behalf of the property as a wh~'t~~ rvtnlely those parcels which abut the SendinglReceiving Boundary. ;jj .! The Husseys request that Collier County consider the following additional data in determining whether HHH Ranch lands or portions thereof are appropriate for inclusion within Sending Lands: I. These lands contain significant deposits of easily accessihle DOT and hard aggregate grade limestone. The presence of locally scarce limestone is an explicit factor in the determination of Receiving Lands within the North Belle Meade Overlay to the Rural Fringe Amendments. Paragraph 9J-5.013(2)(c)2 of the Florida Administrative Code also indicates that the appropriate use of areas suitable for extraction of minerals is consistent with the use of natural resources. I have enclosed as Exhibit C a report of drilling services from MACTECH Engineering and Consulting. A review of the drilling report indicates the significant presence of hard limestone at various locations. For example, boring nwnber B-12 exhibited hard limestone at depths between six and nineteen feet, and boring nwnber B-15 exhibited hard limestone at depths from eight to twenty-four feet. The need of Collier County for limestone to keep pace with both new construction as well as planned road improvements is self- evident. The economic impact to having to bring limestone into Collier County from outside the jurisdiction would extremely detrimental. A brief overview titled "The Need for Rock Mines in Collier County" prepared by Better Roads, Inc. is attached as Exhibit D. 2. The Presence of wetlands is dramatically less than thought by the County at the time that the Sending and Receiving Designations were created. The County, in preparing its Sending and Receiving Designations, relied strongly upon the vegetative designations assigned to areas ofland from the South Florida Water Management District. Such an approach is considered appropriate under the Florida Wetlands Delineation Manual in areas where the lands have not been impacted by drainage. However, the North Belle Meade is surrounded by canals and has been severely impacted through drainage over the years. The effect of these actions has been to dramatically shrink the presence of actual wetlands. Attached as Exhibit E is a portion of a map encompassing the HHH Ranch prepared by Breedlove Dennis & Associates out of Orlando. Breedlove Dennis prepared its wetland delineation map based upon utilization of the latest USGS infrared photography (five years more recent than the infrared images used by SFWMD in its analyses), the most current Collier County high resolution aerials from the Property Appraiser's Office, as well as field testing and site evaluation. As a brief review of this exhibit indicates, Breedlove & Dennis found only three wetlands on the HHH Ranch property; a mediwn sized wetland near the south side of the eastern boarder, a small oval wetland on the north side of the eastern boarder, and an extremely small circular wetland in the northeast comer of the property. Overall, the HHH Ranch is more than eighty-five percent non-wetland, a ratio typical of parcels designated as Receiving. As further justification delineation of wetlands on the property is an ongoing study by Synecologocial Analysts. I have attached as Exhibit F correspondence dated November 25, 2003 from Brown Collins of Synecologocial Analysts. He recognizes that historic development and drainage have significantly impacted the HHH Ranch and the water table within the lands. His observation is that "much of the approximately 650 acres originally suggested as wetlands would not meet the wetland hydrologic criteria." Synecologocial Analysts has been retained to drill 22 monitoring wells to determine if any portions of the HHH Ranch have the hydrology necessary to qualify as wetlands. The result of Synecologocial Analysts year-long monitoring of hydrologic conditions on the HHH Ranch is ongoing and its data will be submitted to Collier County when completed. My latest discussions with Mr. Collins has indicated that, despite the presence of these monitoring wells on the HHH Ranch, not a single parcel has displayed functioning wetland hydrology. 3. While some portions of the HHH Ranch lands have environment significance, that significance is not such as should prevent a Receiving Designation. Certain areas within the HHH Ranch, predominately upon the western borders, are home to colonies of red-cockaded woodpeckers. Those colonies do not exist exclusively upon the lands of the HHH Ranch; rather, they straddle the HHH Ranch and adjoining lands. A map of the location of the red-cockaded woodpeckers colonies as well as observation of foraging RCW's is attached as Exhibit G, attached as Exhibit H is a habitat management plan for the red-cockaded woodpecker prepared by Maureen Bonness and DeLotelle & Guthrie, Inc., and a wildlife and habitat management plan from James L. Shortemeyer is attached as Exhibit I. These documents make it abundantly clear that, if this land is left as Sending Lands, it will remain unmaintained; resulting in the extinction of these red-cockaded woodpecker colonies. The unanimous recommendations of these analysts, in order to preserve and enhance habitat for the red-cockaded woodpeckers on these lands, is to permit certain economic uses for the areas of the land which would not adversely impact red-cockaded woodpecker colonies or prime foraging habitat. A portion of the income from these uses should then be spent to maintain and enhance RCW habitat. However, a continuation of the Sending Designation for the entirety of the HHH Ranch would foreclose the economic uses required to fund habitat management plans for the HHH Ranch. 4. The proposed Wilson Blvd. Extension will sever the HHH Lands from the environmentally sensitive NRPA lands to the east. Sending Lands within the Rural Fringe Amendments were separated into two categories; plain Sending Lands (with less environmental significance) and Natural Resource Protection Areas (with higher environmental significance). The majority of the Sending Areas within the North Belle Meade are NRPAs. However, no part of the HHH Ranch is within a NRPA. The NRPA lands are located to the east of the HHH Ranch and feature higher percentages of wetlands and increase listed species activity, especially the Florida panther. The extension of Wilson Blvd., specifically contemplated in the Rural Fringe Amendments, will sever the HHH Ranch from the remainder of the North Belle Meade, including the areas designated as NRP As. Once severed, the HHH Ranch Lands will have significantly more in common with the industrial and residential areas within Sections 30 and 31. A major road will pass it to its east, cross it along its southern border and effectively separate the areas appropriate for uses consistent with Receiving lands from those areas to be left in their natural state. The benefit to a Wilson Blvd. Extension are numerous. Primarily, it is a requirement for expansion of the existing APAC Mine, and the limestone and aggregate from that mine, as well as the limestone and aggregate found on the HHH Ranch, will be critical to Collier County's ability to construct roads and maintain its infrastructure. Further, such a route would divert heavy and dangerous dump trucks from the residential roads they currently travel and lessen the traffic demand upon the already overburdened Golden Gate Parkway. Further, in the event of the need for an evacuation, this route would permit numerous residents within Golden Gate Estates easy access to Collier Blvd. and Interstate 75. Please note the newspaper article entitled "Proposed Changes in Rural Roads" published in the Naples Daily News and attached for your reference as Exhibit J. I ask that the study boundary information, apparently furnished to Collier County by Wilson Miller, be incorporated in this request by reference. In short, the HHH Ranch lands contain extremely valuable subsurface rights which were not given any weight when the designation of Sending and Receiving boundaries were created, the wetlands believed to be on the property are dramatically smaller than previously believed due to the effects of drainage over time, and the environmental significance of certain small portions of the land is recognizable, but requires that economic uses be allowed on other areas of the Ranch in order to fund habitat management. Absent a change in the boundary designations, such a common sense approach to maintaining and improving this environmental habitat will be impossible.

Our services were provided in accordance With our ] Proposal 40399-0-0000-882 dated January 30, 2003 and signed by you on February 3, 2003 The ] depth of some borings was increased, with your approval. This report presents a review of the information provided to us, a discussion of the site and subsurface geotechnical conditions. and our evaluation of potential uses for the excavated soils. The Appendix contains a Boring Location Plan and results of our field and laboratory tests. ] ] The assessment of site environmental conditions for the presence of pollutants in the soil, rock, and ground water at the site was beyond the scope of this report. ] Project Information ] ] The following project information is based on a discussion with you. We understand the project will consist of deveioping a borrow pit on the project site. The soils excavated from the site are planned to be used as structural fill. ] J MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc 3627 Progress Avenue' Naples, FL 34104 239"643-4747' Fax' 239-643-4750 ] ] ] Section 32 MACTEC Projeci 6787-03-2020 March 4. 2003 ] Site Conditions ] We conducted a site reconnaissance on February 20, 2003 to observe and document surface conditions at the site. Information gathered was used to help us interpret the subsurface geotechnical data, and to detect conditions which could affect our evaluations. The site is located north of Interstate 75 and east of the Naples Landfill. The site is heavily vegetated with palm and palmetto trees. The terrain is relatively level. ] ] Subsurface Geotechnical Conditions ] ] The subsurface geotechnical conditions were explored with seventeen soil test borings (ASTM D 1586-99). The boring locations were chosen by you and located in the field by MACTEC. The bOrings were drilled to depths (determined by you) ranging between 30 and 50 feet below existing ground surface. The approximate boring locations are shown in the appendix. ] ] The subsurface geotechnical conditions encountered at the boring locations are shown on the Test Boring Records in the Appendix. These records represent our interpretation of the subsurface geotechnical conditions based on the field logs, visual examination offield samples by a geotechnical engineer. and tests of the field samples. The lines designating the interface between various strata on the Test Boring Records represent the approximate interface location. In addition, the transition between strata may be gradual. Water levels shown on the Test Boring Records represent the conditions only at the time of our exploration. The subsurface profiles for the borings are presented in the Appendix. The borings completed within the site revealed a subsurface stratigraphy consisting of the general ized strata characterized as follows: J ] ] ] ] . Approximate Layer Approximate Layer Range of Standard . Bottom Depth (feet) Thickness (feet) Penetration Resistance Values (blows per foot) Fine to silty, clayey SAND WIth variable amounts of 4.5 - 12 4.5 - 12 2 - 12 roots Medium Hard to Hard 9 - 3 1 4 - 17 UMESTONE 50/5" - 50/0.' Slightly silty to silty SAND with shell and limestone 50 (Weathered to Soft 3 - 39 1 - 49 Limestone) (Borings teITTlinated) ] ] ] 2 ] ] ] SeCf/on 32 MACTEC Project 6787-03-2020 March 4. 2003 ] Ground Water ] The ground water level at the time of drilling ranged from approximately 3.3 to 5.6 feet below eXlsling grade. This level will fluctuate due to changes in seasonal climate, surface runoff panems, construction activity, and other site specific drainage characteristics. ] Rock Excavation Recommendations ] ] Based on our experience with rock formations in the site vicinity and the data obtained during this geotechnical exploration, it is our opinion the locally occurring moderately hard rock layer encountered in the borings will not be ripable with standard excavating equipment. It is our opinion the majority of the medium hard to hard rock encountered is ofsuffrcient hardness to require blasting to facilitate removal. The specific panem and intensity of blasting should be left up to the contractor If blasting is performed we recommend vibration monitoring of any nearby structures be performed We also recommend pre-blasting condition surveys be perfonned for these structures to document the pre-existing condition. ] ] ] ] We anticipate the weathered and soft limestone layers can be removed with conventional equipment; however, the depth of the soft limestone may cause some difficulty during excavation. ] Encountered Soil Evaluation ] Structural Fill ] Based on our visual classifications and experience, it is our opinion a majority of the soils between the ground surface and 8 feet below the ground surface are suitable for use as structural fill. ,." MACTEC typically recommends structural fill materials contain less than 12 percent fines passing the No. 200 sieve. Generally, the sands and slightly silty sands appear to meet this requirement. If some near surface soils are found to contain more than 12 percent fines passing the No. 200 sieve, these sods can be used by blending these soils with the clean surficial sands and using proper moisture control and compaction techniques, to obtain specified field densities with standard Vibratory equipment. Large rocks may occasionally be encountered in the surficial strata and will requlfe crushing prior to use as structural fill. The amount of rock crushing should be determined J ] ] ] 3 ] ] l See/ion 32 MACTEC PrOjeCI 6787-03-2020 March 4, 2003 ] during the excavation program. If large amounts of roots are encountered in any of the near surface soils, screening will be required, in order to remove the roots to produce suitable fill. ] As evidenced in the borings, possible structural sand fill material generally extends to depths ranging from ground surface to about 8 feet below existing grade. There are some locations where silty/clayey soils were present within the upper 8 feet. Some of these overburden soils mixed with shell or crushed rock may also be suitable for use as roadway stabilized sub-base material. Additional laboratory testing would be necessary to verifY the suitability of the soils for this purpose. This testing would consist of Limerock Bearing Ratio tests of bulk samples that could be obtained during J ] ] excavation. ] Limestone Material J The hard limestone formation at depths between about 4 to 31 feet below grade could potentially be utilized as crushed limerock roadway base material. Additional laboratory testing should be performed on bulk samples to verifY the suitability of the limestone for this purpose. This testing should include but not be limited to Limerock Bearing Ratio, gradation and percent carbonates. ] ] ] The soft and weathered limestone may be suitable for use as structural fill, after stockpiling so that the material can drain. However, depending on the silt and clay content, a sheepsfoot roller (not standard equipment for this locale) may be required to compact the material. In addition, screening or sorting may be required to produce material with a consistent gradation. ] Basis for Evaluations ] ] The ~v.aluations provided are based in part on the project information provided to us and they only apply to the specific project and site discussed in this report. If the project information section in this report contains incorrect information or if additional information is available, you should convey the correct or additional information to us and retain us to review our recommendations. We can then modifY our recommendations if they are inappropriate for the proposed project. ] 1 ] Regardless of the thoroughness of a geotechnical exploration, there is always a possibility that conditions between borings will be different from those at specific test boring locations and that 4 ] ] 1 J ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] 1 ] 1 ] J ] -] Secfion 32 MACTEC Projec/6787-03-2020 March 4. 2003 conditions may not be as anticipated by the designers or contractors. In addition, the construction process may itself alter soil conditions. Unanticipated conditions and inadequate procedures should be reported to the design team along with timely recommendations to solve the problems created We wish to remind you that our exploration services include storing the samples collected and making them available for inspection for 60 days. The samples are then discarded unless you request otherwise. Closing If you have any questions regarding the recommendations of this report or if we can be of further service in providing the necessary testing to complete this project, please do not hesitate to contact this office. We look forward to serving as your geotechnical engineering consultant on the remainder of this project and on future projects.

FLORIDA DRILLED: February 17, 2003 PROJECT NO.: 6787-03-2020 .55 PAGE I 01 ,MACTEC IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT As the client of a consulting geotechnical engineer, you should know that site subsurface conditions cause more construction problems than any other factor. ASFE/The AssocIation of Engineering Firms Practicing in the Geosciences offers the following suggestions and observations to help you manage your risks. A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT IS BASED ON A UNIQUE SET OF PROJECT- SPECIFIC FACTORS Your geotechnical engineering report is based on a subsurface exploration plan designed to consider a unique set of project-specific factors, These factors typIcally include: the general nature of the structure Involved, its size, and configuration; the location of the structure on the site; other improvements, such as access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities, and the additional risk created by scope-of-service limitations lmposed by the client. To help avoid costly problems, ask your geotechnical engineer to evaluate how factors that change subsequent to the date of the report may effect the report's recommendations. Unless your geotechnical engineer indicates otherwise, do not use your geotechnical engineering report: when the nature of the proposed structure is changed, for example, if an office building will be erected instead of a parking garage, or a refrigerated warehouse will be built instead of an unrefrigerated One. when the size, elevation, or configuration of the proposed. structure is altered. when the location or orientation of the proposed. structure is modified. when there is a change of ownership; or for application to an adjacent site. Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility for problems that may occur if they are not consulted after factors considered in their report's development have changed SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE A geotechnical engineering report is based on conditions that eXJsted at the time of subsurface exploration. Do not base construction decisions on a geotechnical engineering report whose adequacy may have been affected by time. Speak with your geotechnical consultant to learn 1f additional tests may be required when subsurface conditions are affected by construction operatIons at or adjacent to the site, or by natural events such as noods, earthquakes, or ground water fluctuations. Keep your geotechnical consultant appraised of any such event MOST GEOTECHNICAL FINDINGS ARE PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENTS Site exploration identifies actual subsurface conditions only at those points where samples are taken. The data were extrapolated by your geotechnical engineer who then applied judgment to render an opinion about overall subsurface conditions. The actual interface between materials may be far more gradual or abrupt than your report indicates. Actual conditions in areas not sampled may differ from those predicted in YOUT report. While nothing can be done to prevent such situations, you and y~u: g~tech~i~l engineer c~~ work together to help mInImlZe theIr Impact. Retammg your geotechnical engineer to observe construction can be particularly beneficial in this respect. A REPORT'S RECOMMENDATIONS CAN ONL Y BE PRELIMINARY The construction recommendations included in your geotechnical engineer's report are preliminary, because they must be based on the assumption that conditions revealed through selective exploratory sampling are indicative of actual conditions throughout a site. Because actual subsurface conditions can be discerned only during earthwork, you should retain your geotechnical engineer to observe actual conditions and to finalize recommendations. Only the geotechnical engineer who prepared the report is fully familiar with the background information needed to determine whether or not the report's recommendations are valid and whether or not the contractor is abiding by applicable recommendations The geotechnical engineer who developed your report cannot assume responsibility or liability for the adeguacy of the report's recommendations if another party is retained to observe construction. GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES ARE PERFORMED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES AND PERSONS Consulting geotechnical engineers prepare reports to meet the specific needs of specific individuals. A report prepared for a civil engineer may not be adequate for a construction contractor or even another civil engineer Unless indicated otherwise, your geotechnical engineer prepared your report expressly for you and expressly for purposes you indicated. No one other than you should apply this report for its intended purpose without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer. No party should apply this report for any purpose other than that originally contemplated without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer GEOENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS ARE NOT AT ISSUE Your geotechnical englneering report is not likely to relate any findings, conclusions, or recommendations about the potential for hazardous materials existing at the site. The eguiyment, techniques; and personnel used to perform a geoenvironmental exploration differ'substantially from those applied in geotechnical engineering. Contamination can create major risks. If you have no Information about the potential for your site being contaminated, you are advised to speak with your geotechnical consultant for information relating to geoenvironmental issues. A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT IS SUBJECf TO MISINTERPRET AnON Costly problems can occur when other design professionals develop their plans based on misinterpretations of a geotechnical engineering report. To help avoid misinterpretation, retain your geotechnical engineer to work with other project design professionals' who are affected by the geotechnical report. Have your geotechnical engineer explain report implications t? design professionals affected by them, and then reVlew those design professionals' plans and specifications to see how they have incorporated geotechnical factors. Although certain other design professionals may be familiar with geotechnical concerns, none knows as much abour them as a competent geotechnical engineer. BORING LOGS SHOULD NOT BE SEPARATED FROM THE REPORT Geotechnical engineers develop final boring logs based upon their interpretation of the field logs (assembled by site personnel) and laboratory evaluation of field samples. Geotechnical engineers customarily include only final boring logs in their reports. Final boring logs should not under any circumstances be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings, because drafters may commit errors or omissions in the transfer process. Although photographic reproduction eliminates this problem, it does nothing to minimize the possibility of contractors misinterpreting the logs during bid preparation, When this occurs, delays, disputes, and unanticipated costs are the all-to-frequent result To minimize the likelihood of boring Jog misinterpretation, give contractors ready access to the complete geotechnical engineering report prepared or authorized for their use. (If access is provided only to the report prepared for you, you should advise contractors of the reporj:'s limitations, assuming that a contractor was not one at' the specific persons for whom the reJX'rt . p,repared and that devel.9ping construction cost e, es wa.~.lIot olle of the ,pecific p<1i'pOses for which it was prepared. In other words; while a contractor may gain important knowledge from a report prepared for another party, the contractor would be well-advised to discuss the report with your geotechnical engineer and to perform the additional or alternative work that the contractor believes may be needed to obtain the data specifically appropnate for construction co~t estimating purposes.) Some clients believe that it is unwise or unnecessary to give contracrors access to their geotechnical engineering reports because they hold the mistaken impression that simply disclaiming responsibility for the accuracy of subsurface information always insulates them from attendant liability. Providing the best available information to contractors helps prevent costly construction problems It also helps reduce the adversarial attitudes that can aggravate problems to disproportionate scale READ RESPONSIBILITY CLAUSES CLOSEL Y Because geotechnical engineering is based extensively on judgement and opinion, it is far less exact than other design disciplines. This situation has resulted in whol1y unwarranted. claims being lodged against geotechnical engineers. To help prevent this problem, geotechnical engineers have developed a number of clauses for use In their contracts, reports, and other documents Responsibility clauses are not exculpatory clauses designed to transfer geotechnical engineers liabilities to other parties. Instead they are definitive clauses that identify where geotechnical engineers' responsibiliti begin and end. Their use helps all parties involved recognize their individual responsibilities and take appropriate action. Some of these definitive clauses are likely to appear in your geotechnical engineenng repan Read them closely. Your geotechnical engineer will be pleased to give full and frank answers to any questions REL Y ON THE GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER FOR ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE Most ASFE.member consulting geotechnical engineenng firms are familiar with a variety of techniques and approaches that can be used to help reduce risks for all parties to a construction project, from design through construction. Speak with your geotechnical engineer not only about geotechnical issues, but others as welL to learp about approaches that may be of genuine benefit.

Due to the moratorium and the extreme inflation ofland cost, Collier County mining industry has fallen behind in it's permitting of reserves Collier County has some very good rock reserves but most of these reserves can not be permitted due to comprehensive plan changes. The areas that have rock in the rural fringe receiving area that can be permitted will escalate in cost to a point that it is no longer economical to mine. The other problem will be the encroachment of population on these areas. Quarries and population do not mix well, trucking and blasting ifat all possible should be separated from residential populations What is needed for the long term needs of the county, are reserves in an area that is isolated from development Ihis was the historical mining trend until the rewrite of the comp plan.

Each ton will contribute $.047 local fuel tax to pay for roads Each ton contributes 't 16 sales tax. And the big one Collier County saves $2.00 in trucking cost for each ton bought locally. The stone could be shipped in from out of county but the fuel to truck wi II most I ikely be purchased out of county, the jobs would be out of county and there wouldn't be any sales tax. At the same time the county will experience even more truck traffic and road cost.

HHH is outside of the development areas thereby affecting very few people with dust, blasting, noise etc. Trucking is along side the interstate so no one can logically complain about the truck traffic as it passes the landfill and industrial parks. The HHH Ranch mine can also provide a needed road connection between Collier Blvd 1- 75 and the northern Golden Gate Estate population. The mine with 30 million tons of rock will help to meet the growing needs of Collier County. The quarry will add $360 million to Colliers economy, half of the sales price is wages. Many of the jobs are medium level income such as heavy equipment operators and truck owners typical of the Estates population. Collier is running out of rock quickly, soon the construction industry and government will need to ship stone in from other counties, exporting $195 million in jobs. Loosing $6.2 million in tax revenue and increasing it's infrastructure cost by $60 million. The environmental concerns have been addressed and the mining of this property is the best possible way to save the endangered RCWs in this area. Collier County has over it's years had rock quarries in areas with sensitive environments. Recent tracking of the Florida panther shows that quarries attract Panthers. The lakes enhance the habitat and the higher quality supports more prey such that it negates the loss of land. Higher quality habitat reduces the range of the panther and will act to increase the population. The same affect also happens with Bald Eagles. The RCW colonies in Belle Meade are doomed to extinction if they are left to live on their own. The hydrologic changes to the area from Alligator Alley the estate drainage canales and farming has brought about an epidemic of exotic and invasive plant life. Mallaluccas and Brazilian Peppers are taking over the area cluttering the mid story foraging area of the woodpeckers. Forest fires are a necessity for healthy pine forests, but we have suppressed fires for decades. Lack of forest fires for years has allowed vines cabbage palms and shrubs to endanger nest sites. Now with an overgrown fuel base wildfires will kill off the pine forest with a fire so intense that all the trees will be killed except the mallaluccas which will take over and turn this area into a monoculture barren of most wildlife. For this area to maintain its RCW colonies, human intervention is needed control bums, nest restrictors and artificial nests are needed. A major wildlife plan will need a funding source. Current TOR incentives will cause abandonment of the area and hasten the demise of the habitat. The ability to mine makes it economical to fund a wildlife management plan and the lakes will enhance the habitat making it more viable. EXHIBIT E ,....

As we have discussed In the past, the primary area of emphasia is the wetland status of the plant communities. Based on my field work to this point, It appears likely that the Hoover estimate o( approximately 650 acres of jurisdictional wetlands on this 950 acre parcel can be signiflcantly reduced. As we have discussed. vegetation, edaphic factors and hydrology are the criterion used to designate jurisdictional wetlands. The original estimate of site wetlands was baaed on a CUnlory review of these specific site conditions. A more In-depth review of tllese community ccmponents reveal that all these factors have been affected by historic development of land to the north and west of this ares. Edaphic (soil) factors hava not changed at the series level, but certainly have a different hydrologic regime than when they evolved and when they were classified. If re-mapped at the current time, they would be identified as the same species as listed In the soli survey, so they would still be considered hydric. The vegetation has been altered by interruption of surface water flow that historically inundated the site. This is reflected by dead cypress boles that lilter much of the area and invallon of more mesic species such al cabbage palm thatar. rapidly Increasing, One easily observable manifestation of the site becoming more xeric is the grape (a more xeric specIes) growing to the top of many cypress.

Environmental Managernent & Design, Inc. Prepared For THE HHH RANCH NAPLES, FLORIDA Submitted To Collier County November 25, 2003 HHH RCW Management 2 Introduction In response to requirernents for protection of endangered species such as the Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis; RCW) the following Habitat Management Plan was developed for the HHH Ranch Property and the propo:led Iimerock mining activities. The study focused on detailed evaluations of RCW, and the habitats used on the property. These studies provide baseline data on cavity tree location, cavity tree and cluster site status, population estimates, and a habitat quality analysis. From these studies rnanagement recommendations were developed which will aid in the protection and recovery of RCWs in the area. Fire has been excluded from much of the area for the past twenty years or so resulting in sub-optirnal habitat for RCWs. Patches of old growth pine, however, Occur throughout the area including the HHH Ranch and other forested areas in the region which still have conditions suitable for RCW occupation. The cluster sites on the HHH Ranch occur prirnarily on mesic f1atwoods sites. The HHH Ranch is a 960 acre parcel located in north Belle Meade, Collier County on the north side of 1-75 (Alligator Alley- Figure 1). A 353.5-acre Iimerock mine that will result in two lakes is proposed for the property. Natural habitats of the property consist of palmetto prairie, pine f1atwoods, cypress/pine mixed forest, cypress stands, and pop-ash sloughs. The property also contains areas impacted by humans including: cleared areas of cypress forest, disturbance bl' cattle grazing, alteration by fire suppression and darn aging wildfires, and wetlands drainage (particularly by the 1-75 canal). The property harbors several stands of old-growth slash pines (Pinus elliottii var. densa) that are home to RCWs. The boundaries of the mining operation have been designed to avoid RCW clusters (the area containing roosting and nesting cavities), as well as preserve a habitat management area for RCW foraging and movement. This area also contains substantial old-growth pine (100-230 years old) and rnay becorne suitable nesting habitat in the future. The pine forest on the HHH Ranch includes areas of hydric and mesic conditions, which promote different growth conditions for pines. One limiting factor on the survival of RCWs is lack of old-growth forests that are managed to preclude the development of substantial mid-story. The east Napl3s population of RCWs has declined precipitously since the early 1990s frorn 25-.0- 30 groups to approximately 10-12 groups (Dryden 2003 and DeLotelle 2003 unpublished data). This population has increased by four breeding groups in the Picayune Strand State Forest as a result of bird translocation, artificial cavity installation, and increased habitat rnanagement and non-native species rerno~al (DeLotelle unpublished data 2003). There are four factors contributing to the HHH RCW Management 3 decline of the east Naples population of RCWs: 1) loss of large old pine trees '0 logging, fire, and disease; 2) invasion of non-native plants in the mid-story; 3) lack of fire management (results in an increased mid-story in unburned areas and damaging wildfires that kill pine trees); and 4) an increasing density of sabal p.3lm trees that crowd the rnid-story and lead to severe fire damage and death of canopy and cavity pine trees. One key to RCW preservation and enhancement in the Belle Meade area is land management that includes removal of exotic species and proper fire management of the pine forest ecosystem. Even if the entire area was preseJ'\ ed from clearing, the survival of these endangered birds is doubtful without prope' habitat management and population expansion techniques. For exarnple, melaleuca invasion and encroachment of young pine trees in the mid-story (dlle to fire Suppression) is probably responsible for the loss of 10 or more RCW groupS (the majority of the south Belle Meade population) in the 1990's along Sabal Palm Road in the area now preserved as the Picayune Strand State Forest (DeLotelle unpublished data 2003). HHH Red-cockaded Woodpecker Management Plan The goal of this RCW management plan is to ensure the long-term stability of:he current RCW groups utilizing HHH Ranch, a degree of stability that is rare for RCW groups in the Belle Meade area. These groups are likely important for the reestablishrnent of RCWs on the northern portion of the Picayune Strand StatEl Forest). The HHH Ranch currently contains an occupied RCW cluster along the easte 'n border (Figure 2). In the summer of 2003, this group consisted of three birds (an adult male, an adult female, plus a juvenile rnale). All three of these RCWs have been banded. This cluster included seven cavities, of which five have evidence of recently being used by RCWs, The HHH Ranch also shares an active RCW group on its western border, with cavity trees on both sides of the property line. This group had three birds in the summer of 2003 (a pair of adults and a juvenile male). Cavities identified on HHH property include two inactive cavities, one of which is used by red-bellied woodpeckers (Melanerpes carolinus). The three active cavities of this group are located on a parcel adjacent to the HHH Ranch. Based on the location of both clusters, we assume that about half of the foraging time is spent on the HHH Ranch. This is consistent with observations during evening roost and other observations that revealed RCWs foraging on adjacent HHH RCW Management 4 properties and the HHH Ranch. The HHH Ranch thus, accepts 50% responsibility for the nesting and foraging requirernents of these two groups. The HHH managernent plan outlined below closely follows guidelines describe d in Recovery Plan for the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis): 2nd revision. 2003. US Fish & Wildlife Service, and further referred to in this report as the Recovery Plan. Also see DeLotelle et al (in press) for rnethods used in central and south Florida for cluster site managernent. In order to sustain RCW groups in the area, HHH Ranch will rnanage 162.61 acres designated as the RCW Management Area which includes 1) stands containing the cavity clusters, 2) the central uplands that provide a connection between the two clusters, and 3) a corridor along the western property border near an occupied cluster of an oft- site group to the northwest (Figure 2, Figure 3), \Within the RCW Management Area, foraging habitat will be maintained that strives to attain Recovery Plan guidelines which were developed for private landowners (Appendix 5 of the Recovery Plan): . a minimum of 4500 square feet pine basal area, including only pines >. 0 inches dbh . an average pine basal area of pines >10 inches dbh between 40 and 7) trIac . an average pine basal area of less than 20 trIac for pines < 10 inches dbh . a midstory that is sparse and less than 7 ft in height . total stand basal area (including all trees) less than 80 trIac Overall, these standards will be rnet as indicated in Table 1 and as developed during burning and other rnanagernent techniques described in this plan. In addition, there are over 208.27 acres of pine/cypress forest (FLUCCS 624) the It may also serve as additional foraging habitat (Figure 3). Although the pine/cypress habitat does not rneet all requirernents listed above, foraging by RCWs does occur here (Beever and Dryden 1992 and DeLotelle unpublished data). This habitat will further be irnproved for foraging by prescribed burning, which will reduce midstory vines, shrubs, and small trees. Features of the managernent plan for the RCW Management Area are detailed below. A. RCW Monitoring (1) An RCW rnonitoring report will be subrnitted annually for 5 years to t~e RCW Recovery Coordinator, reporting on cluster activity. Activity status of each cluster will be assessed near the beginning of the breeding season (March-May), and also after fledging (July-September). Observations will be done by at least one experienced red-cockaded HHH RCW Management 5 woodpecker biologists and are intended to determine the number of birds in the group, the locations of active cavity trees (if they are on the property), the condition of all known cavity trees, and supportive information about breeding success. To provide further inforrnation about group dynamics, atternpts will be made to band adult birds before the first and third year of monitoring. Subsequent to the 5-year monitoring, the status of cavity trees (occupied/non-occupied) will be determined each year throughout the Iifetirne of the mining operation. B. Habitat Monitoring (1) Information on the success and dates of prescribed burns will be provided in the annual report. (2) A re-assessrnent of quantity and quality of foraging habitat will be completed 5 years after irnplementation of the rnanagernent prograrn. This assessment will be submitted to the RCW Recovery Coordinator in the fifth annual report, and will include determination of pine basal area, midstory density, and groundcover composition. During the initial survey that was completed in 2003 (see Table 1, FiglJre 4), ten SOm x 50m quadrates were established that are representativE of various locations and habitat types within the RCW Managernent Area. Within each quadrate, the dbh was measured for all trees >4 inches dbh. The nurnber of sabal palrn tress with a stem greater than 6 ft tall was also recorded. Within each quadrate, a line intercept transect thelt runs down the north-south center of the quadrate was used to determine percent cover of rnid-story (greater than 7 ft) and groundcover. For each 10 m of the transect, a 1m x 1m quadrate was used to determine the corn position of the groundcover in three categories: a) palmetto + young sabal palm, b) grass + herbs, and c) open ground. We also recorded dorninant species of the midstory and groundcover. These technique; and quadrate locations will be used during subsequent monitoring episodes. C. Cluster Management (1) Maintain at least 4 suitable cavities in each active cluster for the duration of the rnine, as long as RCWs are present. (2) Install 2 artificial cavity inserts (installed as per guidelines in the Recovery Plan) for each active cluster. Artificial cavities, which have .3 small PVC entrance tube, ensure protection against other species HHH RCW Management 6 (particularly red-bellied woodpeckers) that enlarge the entrance hole and usurp the nest. (3) It is recognized that all active cavity trees and "recently active cavity trees" (cavity trees that have been inactive for less than 3 years and have the potential of becoming an active cavity in the future) are legally protected frorn being harmed by cutting" bulldozing, pesticides, or any other activity. In addition, the following protective rneasures will be taken: a. Cavity trees will be clearly marked to reduce risk of accidental damage. b. Cavity trees will be protected against fire damage by removing highly f1arnmable plant material at base of tree before prescribed burns, back racking, or back burning. c. The use of heavy machinery will be prohibited within 50 ft of a cavity tree. Use of mechanized equiprnent will be avoided within the cluster when woodpeckers are nesting. (4) In order to provide sufficient large pines for future cavity trees, a rninimum of 40 fflac pine basal area for pines >10 inches dbh will be maintained in the RCW Managernent Area. D. Predator Control (1) To deter snake predation on nest trees, flashing will be installed on the bole of cavity trees (DeLotelle et al 2003, in press). Midstory plants ((If all species) adjacent to cavity trees will be removed. All vines on cavity trees will be rernoved. E. Mid-story Control (1) Reduce rnidstory to very low coverage. Midstory reduction can be de,ne via prescribed burn, mechanical rernoval, or chemical treatment. Priority will be given to rernoving non-native invasive plant species (e.g., melaleuca, Brazilian pepper, ear-leaf acacia, and old-world clirnbing fern). When herbicides are used, considerations will be made as to tt e type of chernical so that harm to large pine trees nearby is avoided. Young pines within cluster areas will be removed if they are a problem around cavity trees. Mechanized equipment used in such rernoval will only be employed during the non-nesting season in the cluster area, c,nd not within one hour of sunrise or sunset. F. Prescribed Burning HHH RCW Management 7 (1) A prescribed burning prograrn will be implemented for preserved land; at HHH Ranch The following guidelines will apply: a. Recornrnended burn rotation of 2-5 years in the uplands of the RCW Management Area, where feasible. (Smoke hazard and proximity to 1-75 will be serious considerations when determining burn feasibility.). Burn frequencies in pine/cypress will be a rnUCl longer rotation of 10-20 years. These burn frequencies are interpreted from Duever et al. 1986, and rnay be amended as additional information is provided for habitat rnanagement in southwest Florida ecosystems. b. Fires during the dormant season or late growing season may be utilized when re-introducing fire to fire-suppressed habitats. Once hazardous fuel accumulations have been reduced, early- to mid- growing season burns are recomrnended, although fires should be avoided within active cavity clusters during nesting season. c. Priority will be given to burning habitat with active clusters. d. Burning of cavity trees thernselves will be prevented by removin~ thick duff or highly f1arnrnable plants (e.g., sabal palrns) at base of cavity trees. e. Disking of a fire lane is prohibited within 50 ft of a cavity tree because of potential tree root damage. No plowing of fire lanes will be conducted for prescribed fires. H. Noise Control (1) Heavy machinery is prohibited within 50 feet of cavity tree during nesting season. (2) Clearing is prohibited within 400 feet of cavity trees. Blasting is prohibited within 400 feet of cavity trees. (3) To facilitate acclimation of RCWs to noise, initial mining phases will bH further than 0.5 miles frorn occupied clusters. When development activity comrnences within 0.5 miles of a cluster, the following guidelires shall be in effect: a. Initial activity will not cornrnence during the nesting season (April 15 - June 15). b. During the first week of noise-producing activity, noise shall not b,~ produced until 1 hour after sunrise, and shall cease 1 hour befor'~ sunset. I. Preservation HHH RCW Management 8 (1) Safe Harbor Agreement: HHH Ranch will make reasonable efforts to establish a Safe Harbor contract with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. (2) The RCW Management Area will be managed according to this management plan as long as there are RCWs present. References Beever, J. W. and Dryden, A. K. 1992.

EXHIBIT I WILDLIFE AND HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLAN, HHH RANCH COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA December 2, 2003 James L. Schortemeyer Certified Wildlife Biologist Introduction HHH ranch, located in Collier County just north of I 75 at mm 98, covers approximately 1.5 square miles. It is within the Big Cypress Physiographic region in an area referred to as ''North Belle Meade." The area is IlominAt...! by a variety of cypress and south Florida slash pine plant communities. The area's hydrology bas been adversely impacted by smrounding development projects including Golden Gate Estates and 1-75. Purpose The management goal of mrn ranch is to assure the protection and conservation of the natural, floral, faunal, hydrological, recreational, and ecosystem values through a limited mining program designed to provide funding for implementation of a long term mAnagement program. A conceptual plan was developed for HHH ranch in March 2003. According to the conceptual plan forty percent of the area would be altered during the extraction of \in1erock and other minerals for use as fill material. 1bis operation would consist of several phases with an estimated project life of twenty years. The entire parcel would be mAnaged as wildlife habitat with at least 55 percent of the ranch being managed as the historical natural plant communities which occupy the site. The remAining land and water areas would be managed as high value wildlife and aquatic habitats found under similar conditions in SW Florida. Basic Principles Fire and water were the primary natural forces that detennined the specific wildlife values that occurred across the Big Cypress. Occasional freezing temperatures and hurricanes shaped and regulated the survival of individual plants across the landlK'ape. These forces together with the influence of man for the last 10,000 years molded the diverse flora and fauna observed by the first European settlers. Plant communities are constantly changing in a process described as Succession. The geologic features of the area provided the mold which determined the geographic location of specific areas with high wildlife values. Many of these high value wildlife habitats also possessed attributes desirable to people. Fertile soil, dry land, easy access, and a constant reliable water supply are habitat characteristics important to both people and wildlife. Many of these high value habitats I such as waterfront property and adjacent high ground were so valuable to humans that they were 'lost' early in the development process. Big Cypress wildlife flourished in a variety of specific high value habitats. High wildlife values occuned at locations where specific ecosystem functions were beneficial to wildlife or where specific high value habitats evolved. Hammocks and tree islands are examples of high value habitats that occur throughout south Florida. These hammocks and islands occupy only a small portion of the area but they provide essential cover and nesting habitat for numerous species including reptiles, birds, and mRmmals. They also provide seeds, fruits, and acorns from an array of tropical and temperate plant species. Sloughs and other flow-ways where excess water moved slowly across the seemingly flat landscape are examples of natural system functions valuable to wildlife. This 'sheetflow' across the Illf1<i""JJpe is important to wildlife because it moves both food and nutrients across the landscape. High value habitats occur at specific locations where these resources are concentrated and or dispersed. Locations where sheet flow enters or leaves deepwater habitats and where flo-ways are constricted by high ground or vegetation tend to be high value sites. Finally deep water habitats in the interior portions of south Florida were high value habitats. Cypress ponds, alligator holes, flag ponds and the relatively few natural lakes are important to wildlife both from an ecosystem function standpoint and as a high value habitats. Management Projects Both wildlife and habitat "'Rnagement include ongoing projects which will be enhanced under this proposal. Planning and evaluation will be an integral feature on all projects including habitat mRnagement, hydrological mRnagement, monitoring, wildlife protection (regulating human activities to m;n;m;7.e adverse impacts), and wildlife mRnagemenL pl.nnhll! aDd Evaluadon All management activities will be conducted using a continual planning and evaluation process. A comprehensive management plan will guide activities. Goals and objectives will be established and results will be measured through wildlife surveys, monitoring programs and periodic review. Management programs will be adjusted or modified based on the results of the evaluation process. The following individual projects have been identified and key components have been incorporated in this plan. t. COMPILE EXISTING DATA BASES(Wildlife, soils, vegetation, history, etc.) 2. DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT SYSTEMATIC WILDLIFE SURVEYS. 3. IDENTIFY KEY WILDLIFE HABITATS AND WILDLIFE SPECIES. 4. MAP AND IDENTIFY MANAGEMENT UNITS. 5. DEVELOP MANAGEMENT GOALS AND INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS DESIGNED TO REACH mOSE GOALS. Natural Areal Habitat Manal!ement Approximately 55% of the area will be retained as natural habitats. Hydrological constraints may limit the ability to mRnage these sites with strict adherence to historical conditions but healthy and productive pinelands and cypress communities can be maintained. 2 Disturbed Site Habitat Mana2ement Most of the remaining area (approximately 40%) will be impacted directly by mining operations. Upon completion of mining operations the mining impact area will be managed as fish and wildlife habitats with emphasis on creating high value habitats. Disturbed sites not impacted by operations will be managed as wildlife habitats as soon as practical. Hydrolotdcal Mana2ement While the mining operation will convert a maximum of 40 percent of the area to open water habitats it also offers an opportunity to restore some sheetf10w across the area and to create some 'new' extended hydroperiod wetlands and significant deep water habitats. Within the area covered by mining operations littoral zones and shallow wetlands will cover minimum area of 60 acres. These areas will be designed to receive inflows from adjacent wetlands and to provide outflows across downstream wetlands. Ground elevations will be designed to provide a minimum area of 5 acres with water depths between 3-15 inches under all anticipated hydrological stages. Partnerships will be sought with the appropriate water management agencies to integrate water management practices with regional programs to restore and create fle-ways that approximate historical conditions with emphasis on enhancing wildlife values. While surrounding development may prohibit complete hydrological restoration these sballow excavated areas will be designed to provide both seasonal and permanent wetland areas with a wide array of habitats 6. CONDucr HYDROLOGICAL ASSESSMENT This assessment is being conducted in conjunction with the permitting process for the proposed mining operation. This information will be incorporated in the wildlife management plan. 7. HYDROLOGICAL RESTORATION FEASmlLITY STUDY The hydrology of Hllll ranch has been severely impacted by off site projects. Preliminary discussions have indicated that it may be feasible to incorporate Hllll ranch into regional efforts to partially restore 'sheet' flow within the Belle Meade portion of Big Cypress. If feasible this program would have dramatic positive impacts for wading birds and other aquatic wildlife. 8. DEVELOP INTERIM HYDROLOGICAL PLAN An interim hydrological plan is being developed in conjunction with the mining proposal. This proposal will include measures to manage onsite rainfall. Sloughs and swales will be designed to isolate mining operations from non-impact areas and provide enhanced wildlife habitat 3 9. DEVELOP FINAL HYDROLOGICAL PLAN A Final Hydrological Plan will be developed for HHH ranch. This plan will incorporate appropriate elements from the preceding plan elements (1. through 7.) In addition it will include the following: A) Islands of upland habitat will also be maintained within the artificial wetland complex. These islands will be managed to encourage growth and development of hardwood hammocks bordered by mixed hardwood swamp species and emergent marsh vegetation. B) Native plant species will be established on these sites with emphasis on species, densities, and structures that provide high wildlife values. C) Mosaic patterns and meandering lines which mimic natura1 ecotonal conditions will be utilized during the fina1 demarcation of the excavation/mining operation. 10. BOUNDARY FENCES AND TRAILS Existing woods roads, trails, and boundary fences will be maintained. These trails can be used to delineate management units and serve as fire breaks. Perimeter trails and fence lines will also be maintained as fire breaks for prescribed burns and to provide protection from wildfires. These firelines and trails also provide access for management activities. 11. CATILE Cattle will be maintained on the area as an interim management practice. This will help maintain fuel loads at an acceptable level until prescribed burning has been established. The use of cattle may also be compatible with long term manl\gement goals. Cattle, especially at proper densities, can provide benefits to wildlife and may also help reduce fuel loads and control exotic vegetation. The continued use of cattle should be based upon demonstrated wildlife habitat management benefits. 12. PRESCRIBED FIRE INTRODUCTION Florida has been described as 'The land from the Sea'. As sea levels dropped geologic features provided the mold which determined the location of lakes, rivers and shorelines. Indeed, across this relatively flat area, water has been a dominant force in shaping biotic communities. In its pristine condition nearly 60"10 of the state's 35 million acres were wetlands (Fema1d and Purdum 1996). Abundant rainfall averaging 57 inches annually and a mild climate encouraged plant growth. Natural plant mortality coupled with occasional freezes, frequent frost and annual dry seasons enhanced the buildup of dead vegetative fuels across the landscape. Thunderstorms provided unlimited ignition opportunities with 4 each ground strike of lightning. Under these conditions wild fires were common and widespread. Hydrology and the relatively flat terrain created an environment composed of a mixture of upland and wetland plant communities. Fire touched the entire landscape with many areas burning every one to five years. Other areas experienced fire on longer rotations which varied from five years to several decades. Other plant communities, which on first inspection appear to be untouched by fire usually have a fire return interval which may be measured in centuries. Thus, fire and water were the primarY natural forces that determined the specific plant and wildlife communities found across Florida's pristine lat'tl'''''i1pe. The combination of these two forces would determine which plants and Animals would flourish. merely survive or perish. Humans have occupied Florida for the last 20,000 years. Early Floridians developed increasingly complex social structures and created substantial structures which modified natural habitats. For example, recent discoveries near the settlement of Ortona on the Caloosabatchee River have documented that native Americans created a series of ditches and canals near the river. The purpose of these structures was to raise and harvest fish. Elsewhere in America and throughout the world fire was used extensively to modify natural habitats (Pyne, 1995). Fires could protect villages, attract and concentrate wildlife, and produce succulent vegetation and promote mast production. Robbins and Meyers, 1990, offer the opinion that fire was not used extensively in pre-European Florida. While the level of use and its impact on natural habitats may be debated, Floridians have long recognized the awesome power of fire. Early efforts to manage fire may not have been organized or extensive but there is little question that Florida's first inhabitants made significant attempts to harness both fire and water. Following statehood early settlers continued to use fire to manipulate vegetation and game resources in Florida. Ranchers and hunters frequently and regularly used fire to improve grazing lands and wildlife habitat. Throughout the Southeast fire bas been consistently used as a land management tool. One of the first scientific approaches was initiated near Tallt.h..o'l""', Florida in the 1920's. In 1932 Herbert Stoddard published ''The Bobwhite Quail; Its Life History and Management." This publication and the founding of "Tall Timbers" mark the beginning of efforts to promote and use fire wisely through a scientific approach to land mAnAgement. HHH ranch, located in Collier County, is in the Big Cypress physiographic region. This region bas a well established relationship with natural and prescribed fire. Private land owners, state and federal land mAnagers routinely use prescribed fire as a mAnagement tool. The continued use of fire at specified intervals, seasons, and intensity levels is the only known way to fully sustain the ecosystemS Floridians depend upon for their livelihood and recreation. Fortunately, the state of Florida bas recognized the importance of prescribed fire. Florida Statute Ch. 590.125(3) addresses "Certified Prescribed Burning." The section dealing with legislative findings and purpose includes the following: "(a) The application of prescribed burning is a land management tool that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, and the economy of the state. The Legislature finds that: 5 1. Prescribed burning reduces naturally occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. Reduction of the fuel load reduces the risk and severity of wildfire, thereby reducing the threat ofloss oflife and property, particularly in urban areas. 2. Most of Florida's natural communities require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed burning is essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and mAnagement of many plant and An;ma.! communities. Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded from fire dependent systems.... ......." PURPOSE.AND OBJECTWES While HHH ranch and fire have a long relationship development and population growth have impeded the use of prescribed fire as a mAnAgement tool. In years past lightning fires and human caused fires frequently burned across the landscape with little adverse impact and little need for plAnning. Today, unplanned ignitions or wildfires can cause numerous adverse impacts. In recent years, wildfires in surro.md;ng areas have caused substantial property destruction and loss of life. However, carefully planned and executed prescribed fires can reduce the size of wildfires, make suppression easier, and protect certain areas from wildfire. This report outlines a strategy for the implementation of a prescribed fire program for HHH Ranch which will reduce hazard fuel loads and improve wildlife habitat (See APPENDIX A for more detail). OBJECTIVES: 1) Implement a prescribed fire program that provides hazard fuel reduction, improves wildlife habitat, maintains ecological integrity, and meets other forest and range land mAnAgement criteria. 2) Develop guidelines for personnel and cooperators participating in prescribed burning. 3) Establish protocols for notifying and assisting the Division of Forestry and Local Fire Departments with any wild fire within or near Harmony. 4) Incorporate other land mAnAgement techniques which complement, enhance, or facilitate the use of prescribed fire or provide for safe reduction of natural wildfire hazard fuels. 5) Conduct prescribed burns in accordance with the provisions and standards of Florida's Certified Burn Manager Program. 6) Insure that SAFETY supersedes all other objectives. 7) Identify mAnAgement units or portions of management units which should be included in an initial prescribed burning program. 8) Cooperate and encourage adjacent landowners to enhance existing prescribed fire programs or to develop new programs. 6 INITIAL FOCUS The initial focus of the prescribed burning program will be to identify natural areas within specific r.....nagement units which are slated for protection or restomtion and that historically were maintained by frequent fire. These areas will be identified and desigr>~t..n as bum zones. Individual bum zones largeI than 50 acres will be divided by natuIal or 1J"lAn"1Atle fire breaks into parcels less than 50 acres. Prescribed fire will be restored or maintained on these units as soon as possible. Pine flatwOOds and mixed pine/cypress habitats are examples of vegetation communities maintained by frequent fire. Typical fire retUrn interVals for these communities are 2-5 years. Short fire interVals will be applied to these units with each bum unit scheduled for fire treatment once every 2-3 years. A short retUrn interVal will facilitate control, ",inimi7.e hazard fuel buildup, and rninimi7.e fire intenSity. The initial program will focus on habitats within and near identified Red Cockaded Woodpecker habitat. Bum zone boundaries have not been delineated and ground truthed so exact acreages and number of zones have not been determined- Site inspections and preliminary evaluations indicate that approximately 500 acres should be included in desigr'Atffl Bum Zones. Annual bum acreage should average 200 acres with individual burns ranging from a few acres to as large as 50 acres. Initial prescriptions and bum units should provide for plans to limit any burn to less than 25 acres through the use of a staged ignition plan, internal firebreaks, or additional suppression equipment on site. The location ofHHH ranch with 1-75 immediately to the south. nearby residential areas and otheI smoke sensitive areas nearby dictate a comprehensive smoke management program. Establishing a competent bum team with proper equipment and l'tlministrative support is essential. Scheduling prescribed burns on a priority basis and executing burns only when conditions are favorable will lead to a successful program. 13. mGH VALUE WILDLIFE HABITATS Existing high value wildlife habitats will be identified and receive priority management. Active red cockaded woodpecker colonies have been located and protection and enhancement of these colonies will be incorporated into all mAnagement programs. Extended hydroperiod wetlands also occur on the ranch. Restoration of these areas will enhance wildlife values. 14. EXOTIC VEGETATION CONTROL Exotic vegetation will be controlled as necessary on the site. Both chemical and mechanical control methods will be utilized and when appropriate native plants will be re-established by planting or seeding. At present both Brazilian Pepper and Melaleuca are common exotics and control programs should be a priority. OtheI exotics such as 'old world' climbing fem, earleaf acacia, and tropical soda apple should be monitored and controlled. 15. ADDmONAL MOSAIC PATTERNS Additional mosaic patterns will be encouraged throughout the area by utilizing the unit boundaries, roads, trails and otheI disturbed sites. Management of these sites would 7 include openings, brush piles around cleared sites, artificial structures for wildlife, artificial hammocks, and isolated hardwood trees. 16. ADDmONAL HABITAT MANAGEMENT AT DISTURBED SITES Additional habitat mAnAgement activities may be conducted at disturbed sites. Additional earthwork may be required to temporarily stockpile topsoil dining excavation. This topsoil could be used during the final contour process and at specific locations to facilitate plant growth. Specific projects may also be conducted at disturbed sites to benefit both endangered plants and AnimAls. Herbaceous plantings using native plants may be established with emphasis on endangered plants and attracting invertebrate AnimAls. Artificial nest structures may be placed at selected locations for a variety of wildlife species. Rocks may also be used as cover structure both underwater and on elevated sites. These rock structures will provide habitat for small ,"AmmAls, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. 17. WILDLIFE AND FISH MANAGEMENT Fish and wildlife management activities will be designed to monitor and evaluate specific mAnagement programs. Exotic fish and wildlife species will be monitored but no control programs are recommended at this time. Some exotic species may in fact be beneficial. Select exotic fish species may be important food for wading birds. Both wild hog and armadillo are important food for the Florida panther. Some limited fish stocking of native species may be conducted as different phases of the mining operation are completed. A major goal of any stocking would be to encourage the establishment of native rather than exotic species. Release or stocking of other wildlife species will not be allowed. Nuisance wildlife will not be relocated on this property. The property owner may permit the release of injured wildlife under special circumstances and may cooperate with experimental programs to study or manage native wildlife species. MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR SELECTED SPECIES 17.1 RED-COCKADED WOODPECKER HHH Ranch includes natural habitats typical of the Belle Meade area: palmetto prairie. pine fl atwoods, cypress/pine mixed forest cypress stands, and pop-ash sloughs. The plOperty also includes areas impacted by human activity. Logging, cattle grazing, fire suppression operations, adjacent drainage, major road projects (1-75) and damaging wildfires have resulted in impacts which range from moderate to severe. Within the tlatwoods are several isolated stands of mature pines that include active cavity trees and red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) habitat. The boundaries of the mine have been designed to avoid RCW clusters, as well as preserve a corridor ofRCW foraging habitat. An RCW management plan has already been developed for the area (Appendix A). Two RCW clusters are active on portions of this area as well as adjacent lands. This plan 8 includes RCW monitoring, habitat monitoring, cavity mAnagement, predator control, vegetation management, prescribed burning and noise control. Coupled with similar programs on adjacent properties conditions for these two clusters will improve. 17.2 WOOD STORK Wood storks commonly feed in freshwater marshes, flooded pastures and ditches. They have a tactile feeding method referred to as "grope-feMing" which is most effective in sballow water with an abundance of prey items. Depressions in marshes or swamps where fish become concentrated during periods offalling water levels are particularly attractive as feeding areas. These areas are further enhanced if they are connected to deepwater habitats. Wood stork use at the present time is limited both spatially and temporally due to altered hydroperiods. Habitats used as foraging areas for wood storks at HHH is likely restricted to the larger pop-ash sloughs. Without improved hydrologicallIlanllgement other wetlands at HHH Ranch are unlikely to provide foraging habitat for wood storks. The wood stork is a colonial species that nest in certain cypress or mangrove swamps. Population numbers of wood storks is thought to be limited by the ability to successfully raise chicks, and is dependent upon sufficient foraging grounds during nesting season. The nearest known rookery is approximately 14 miles from HHH. Since wood storks typically stay close to the rookery when feeding chicks, it is unlikely that HHH is utilized as a foraging area during that part of the season. Hydrological improvements that incorporate sballow water feeding areas and extended hydroperlods will benefit wood storks. Feeding areas and floways will require periodic maintenance. 17.3 FLORIDA PANTHER Florida panthers, which occur primarily in south Florida, utilize a wide variety of habitats including pine flatwoods, mixed-hardwood pine, hardwood hammock, tropical hammock, hardwood swamp, cypress swamp, and freshwater marshes. Home range size for females (average of 125 sq 00) appears to be regulated by habitat quality and prey density, while home range size for males (average 215 sq 00) is also influenced by density and distribution of adult females. Radio telemetry points for panthers near HHH Ranch indicate there bas not been any recent activity in this area. Previous points are correlated with the release of Texas cougars for the panther genetic restoration program. This area of North Belle Meade may be considered to be a buffer zone between panther territory and Naples developments, but it is not considered to be primary panther habitat. None of North Belle Meade is included in the USFWS areas designated as either Priority 1 or Priority 2 panther habitat. However, much of the HHH Ranch is within the FFWCC GAPS Strategic Habitat Conservation Area. 9 The recommended protective measure applied to some of the Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas is acquisition of conservation easements and land-use agreements that secure valuable natural resources but also allow private uses of the land. The HHH habitat management plan should provide significant improvements on the protected natural habitats. Prey densities should increase on these areas. The mining operation will result in the loss of some potential habitat. Some of the littoral zone and other remaining upland disturbed sites will benefit panthers. Artificial hammocks or shrub zones will provide escape cover. These habitats especially in proximity to aquatic habitats will have increased densities of raccoons and other small mammal~. Increased mast production including acorns, Saba! Palm berries and other hardwood mast will also attract deer and hogs. The quality of habitat within the preserve will also be enhanced by implementing a prescribed bum program and removing non-native invasive vegetation. 17.4 FLORIDA BLACK BEAR Currently, the black bear remains widespread in Florida, but its distribution is reduced and has become fragmented. The Black bear also uses a wide variety of forested habitat types, including pine flatwoods, hardwood swamp, cypress swamp, hammocks, xeric oak scrub, mangroves and mixed hardwood-pine forests. The black bear is omnivorous and adaptive. They take advantage of a wide variety of abundant food sources as they become available. Black bear movements and home ranges undergo seasonal shifts in response to food availability. Primary threats to the Big Cypress population are continued habitat loss and human induced mortality. Motor vehicle collisions are the primary mortality factor. HHH habitat management programs will enhance Black Bear habitat with the exception of the deepwater lake area. Foraging and denning sites should be improved especially with artificial hammocks and littoral zones planned for disturbed sites. The abundance and variety offood sources will be significantly increased. 17.5 GOPHER TORTOISE Gopher tortoises in non-coastal areas of Collier County are primarily associated with xeric scrub, dry prairie, and xeric pine flatwoods. Three environmental conditions are especially important: I) well-drained loose soil in which to burroW; 2) adequate low-growing herbs for food; and 3) open sunlit sites for nesting. Gopher tortoises forage primarily on grasses, herbs, and saw palmetto berries when available. The decline of gopher tortoise populations in Florida is generally due to loss of habitat. At HHH Ranch, gopher tortoises occur on one upland area that is located in the central/eastern area. The majority of the tortoise-occupied upland will be included in the preserve. Approximately 13 acres of the preserved portion of the upland is cwrently suitable for gopher tortoise burrows, with an additional :1:20 acres of suitable foraging habitat surrounding the burrowing habitat. The foraging and burrowing habitat will be enhanced by the prescribed bum program. Burning will decrease palmetto leaf litter and allow sunlight to reach the ground layer, thereby increasing sunlight for growth offorage species and tortoise thermo-regulation. It is expected that burning will significantly 10 increase the carrying capacity for gopher tortoises in this upland. Since this upland also fosters an RCW cavity cluster, it will receive priority on the burn plan. Some burrows are located in the future mining area. Prior to clearing the mining area, the upland will be re-surveyed and, if needed, tortoises will be relocated to the preserved portion of this upland. A barrier will be constructed to prevent tortoises from entering the mining area. In additiOn, several "burrow berms" will be installed in the preserve to augment burrowing habitat. Burrowing berms will be constructed of sand from the cleared upland, and will measure approximately 4 feet high, 12 feet long, and 8 feet wide. Additional tortoise habitat will be provided on disturbed upland sites including sand berms and foraging areas. 17.6 BIG CYPRESS FOX SQUIRREL Primary habitats for the big cypress fox squiIIel are open pine flatwoods. cypress strands, broad-leaf evergreen hammocks, mangroves, and oak forest. They feed mainly on cypress balls and pine seeds. Fox squiIIels also utilize cabbage palm berries, saw palmetto berries and hardwood mast. Due to the seasonal nature of their forage sources, they fluctuate much in using different habitats. Fox squiIIels spend a significant amount of time on the ground foraging, thus an open understory is critical. Optimal habitat for a fox squiIIel has an open parle-like quality. Fox squiIIels have been sighted at HHH Ranch. mainly in pine/cypress/cabbage palm (FLUCCS 624). Prescribed burning and continued use of cattle will help improve and maintain 'open' habitats preferred by this species. 18. REGULATING RECREATION AcrIVITIES Traditional resource based outdoor recreation has been the primary activity on this property. This use has been well regulated in recent years. It is anticipated that this property will remain in private ownership. In addition to the traditional activities, the deep water habitats will provide excellent fishing opportunities. The area will remain closed to the public and to commercial activities but it will continue to provide high quality resource based outdoor recreational experiences to permitted users. 19. REGULATING MINING OPERATIONS Mining and excavation operations will be closely monitored to prevent adverse impacts. Particular care will be taken to protect endangered species including the active red cockaded woodpecker (RCW) colonies. No clearing or excavation will be conducted within 400 feet of identified RCW cavity trees. Furthermore mining operations will be conducted in phases throughout the twenty year project life. Best m.onagement practices will be implemented and modified as necessary. 11 Sunrnuu'Y This IJ\Rnagement proposal provides a unique opportunity for Collier County. The project will allow the property owner an opportunity to develop a portion of the property for mining and excavation. Innovative hydrological management programs will enhance wildlife diversity and abundance. The success of both hydrological and wildlife mRnll,gement will depend on adjacent property mmmgement. With compatible adjacent land uses this project can serve as a model for the inclusion of private property and private enterprise in enhanced stewardship programs for Big Cypress wildlife. The ntIIjority of the site will be protected and ",Rnaged as natural wildlife habitat throughout the projed life. Disturbed sites will also be restored and mRnaged as valuable wildlife and aquatic habitats. At project completion the entire property will be IIUUItlged /IIId protected tIS /bit tUUl wildlife Itabitat. Wildlife and habitat ",Rnagement both during the mining project (esti",RtM at 20 years) and after completion will be funded by Royalties paid from mined material into a Trust Fund. After project completion the truSt fund principal will be protected but the annual earnings will be available for wildlife and habitat ",Rnagement. 12 EXHIBIT J ~o~.~.~' ~~~ ~~ooli~~'~@~ C':l8 ~~u ,.n' .-z,..o'3..lVt/l ~~ u 0 ~ -~. 8>w=~ :;. io-o .... v.t:l .~ p... ~;3"=: ~ t3: ;:jo ;;>'"'d..s~ ~Vl-5bJ).t:l........ ro;:::::O~ Vl r~t/lO . ........0.1 t/lOVO~~robJ) U ~~ ~ ..o~C~~~V .5bJ)WU _~ <Jltl:lO~'.a:-::l ]O~ 0'3..1 >,O'"'d~vuv<Jl8 t'v~~~u~~ ~_~~~~~'0ro S'"'dop...V~<Jl~ u~8rov~0 ..... ~,O<Jl~~~_~ ~u v~~c'3..lg "2 S 1h:: o-ti P<" w <2 '".0'<:" ,"~.o o~~E~-~- 2-~'"'dbg~ ro ~_.__~~ro~ ~kn5~0U~'~ '-;:j'3..l0roO _ _~ ~~ v'"'d~ ~ s-.s ~ &' 'D .9 ~ ~:~ ~ 8 ~.B ~ E ~ ~o'"'dC VV.S bJ)~~U~_~VX OU'~roo-'"'d<Jl '-~ro~ ro uV ........~,<Jl<Jl~.5.D;::::: E ~~v~~~;:::::'"'d "'" ..!>::.c.ovllJ,-l ....u 0 .......01-< oo.s~uvp...'"'d~;:::::~..s ~~p...uro '~bJ)'~g~v_u~~-~~_~V<Jl~ ~.S~bJ)~:r::a~v: ~ro~-;:::::_~1::"3 ....-oCr.O ~O<Jl '3..1000........ vO o..."'cl ro.:::l'LJ t::: H::l U I-< I-o'"'d 0 '"'d~ r.I:J = ~ "0 .... r.I:J ~ ~ ~ .:= r.I:J "0 e':S o ~ ea E .= r.I:J ~ J u ~ ~ r.I:J o Q.. o ~ c '" U "'> d: iii C <C i u u J:. ~v~ ~gro .u~@vS-~~~~.5 ;::::: ~.s_ ~~~~.s........

According to Mr. Collins, and consistent with my review of Florida law concerning the designation of wetlands, lands which have been affected by drainage or other human activities must display a hydrology that includes groundwater within twelve inches of the surface for a time period of at least fourteen consecutive days. As you can see from the data, not a single well has displayed groundwater within twelve inches of the surface on any day that measurements were taken. These measurements were conducted consistent with industry standards, one measurement per month during the dry season and one measurement per week within the rainy season. It is notable that most of the measurements displayed no measurable groundwater at alL Quite simply, it appears unlikely from this data that the HHH Ranch contains any significant wetlands whatsoever. These measurements are especially telling given that rainfall during 2004's rainy season has been running at 105% percent of normaL Also attached is SFWMD's latest Hydro-Period Rainfall map, indicating that the Southwest Coast is running 2.04 inches above normal and that the Big Cypress region is 1.72 inches above normal. Having watched Charley and his siblings dump water on Southwest Florida this year, it seems apparent that if these lands can not meet the wetland criteria in this year, then they will never meet them in a normal year. ~ .~. ~~ -~'-" ~~.~_" ....,"'-'-"....'-V.....~'-"n'-n........'-'-"..... -"...~-'......u;;-'-' rOO.

The parcel is immediately adjacent to receiving lands. The specific parcel location is illustrated on the attached Collier County Plat Map. I've had an environmental consultant map the habitat types on the parcel. Please see attached Florida Land Use, Cover & Forms Classification (FLUCFCS) map provided by Hoover Planning & Development, Inc. Also enclosed is a map that includes the parcel location in relation to the North Belle Meade Overlay Classifications. The enclosed soils map for the property shows that it is almost entirely underlain by non-hydric soils. As can be seen from the aerial and FLUCFCS mappings, the only difference between my parcel and the properties to the north (which are receiving lands) is that they have been partially cleared for use as semi-improved pasture. This map clearly demonstrates the arbitrary nature of the classifications. 1 feel the North Belle Meade Overlay Classifications should be based on this more accurate ground truthed information rather than broad aerial interpretation and convenient Section lines. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional information. Sincerely, ~ ,~ti lvatore Volpe ~ Enc. RECEIVED NOY it.. LOO~i TWP. 49S.-RNG. 27E.

The purpose was to evaluate the parcel for environmental concerns as they relate to current North Belle Meade Overlay (NBMO) designations. Specifically the parcel was examined for jurisdictional wetlands, Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soils types, and potential wildlife\protected species habitat. Location Details & Folio Numbers The parcel evaluated in this report is as follows: 8.5 Acres Located in S34, T49S, R27E (Folio #:00347120009) The parcel is immediately adjacent to receiving lands. The specific parcel location is illustrated on the attached Collier County North Belle Meade Overlay Map. Wetlands The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) are the regulatory agencies that regulate development activities in wetlands. In general, to be considered wetland by the ACOE or the SFWMD, the parcel ofland should exhibit hvdric soils, wetland hvdrologv (signs of water), and wetland vegetation. Hvdric Soils Hydric soils are identified by certain characteristics that are unique to wetland soils. The soils for the entire county have been previously mapped by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). These mappings are general in nature, but can provide a certain level of information about the site as to the possible extent of wetland area. The agencies commonly use these mappings as justification for certain wetland determinations. According to the NRCS, the parcel is underlain by 2 soils types: NRCS II Hallandale fine sand (non-hydric) NRCS 18 Riviera fine sand, limestone substratum, (hydric) A NRCS soils map is attached that details specific soil type locations on the subject parcel. Wetland Hvdrologv Wetland hydrology is normally present if the soil is saturated or inundated for a long duration during the growing season, which normally occurs during the wet season. In our region, the wet season occurs in the summer and early fall, therefore, if an area exhibits soil saturation or is inundated for a period of time the area is considered to have wetland hydrology. In the absence of visual signs of saturation or inundation, one may use hydrologic indicators such as adventitious rooting on melaleuca, lichen lines, rafting of pine needles, or algal matting. There was no standing water on any portion of the subject property. There were various signs of hydrology in the portions of the property mapped below as hydric melaleuca and FLUCFCS 624/424. Wetland Vegetation Wetland vegetation is present if the majority of the plants that are present are ones that are adapted to saturated soil conditions. Vegetation communities on this property were mapped in the field according to the system in use by the agencies, the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS). The parcel contains the following Florida Land Use and Cover Classification System (FLUCFCS) communities (See attached FLUCFCS map for specific locations): FLUCFCS 41 I, Pine Flatwoods This community is found in a small patch along the southern property line. It is dominated by slash pine and cabbage palm with scattered cypress in the canopy. Mid-story contains saw palmetto. Other vegetation present includes grapevine, myrsine, Brazilian pepper, poison ivy, and Caesar's weed. It is anticipated these areas would not be considered jurisdictional wetlands by the agencies. FLUCFCS 424H, Hydric Melaleuca This community is found in the central portion of the property. It is dominated by melaleuca & slash pine in the canopy. Melaleuca is very thick with densities generally greater than 75%. Other vegetation present includes scattered cypress, grapevine, swamp fern, and poison ivy. Due to vegetation present and marginal signs of hydrology, these areas mav be considered jurisdictional wetlands by the agencies. FLUCFCS 624/424, Melaleuca Invaded Pine-Cypress-Cabbage Palm This community makes up the majority of the property. It is dominated by slash pine and cypress with scattered cabbage palm in the canopy. Other vegetation present includes melaleuca, Brazilian pepper, wax myrtle, scattered saw grass, and swamp fern. Melaleuca densities vary throughout this community. It is anticipated these areas would likely be considered jurisdictional wetlands by the agencies. Wildlife A protected species survey has not been conducted on the subject parcel, however based on the habitat present some estimations can be made regarding what listed species might occur on the property. The FLUCFCS codes listed above have been cross-referenced with a list of protected species (FWC-Florida's Endangered Species, Threatened Species & Species of Special Concern- Official Lists, Publication Date: August 1, 1997). The result is a composite table that contains the names of the protected species which have the highest probability of occurring in each particular FLUCFCS community. Protected species concerns for the semi-improved agriculture property to the north of the Volpe parcel would be identical to those on the Volpe parcel See below for the table that applies to the Volpe parcel: Protected species list according to FLUCFCS category.

The Volpe parcel is marked on this map in purple. The FWC model ranked habitat from 0 to 10, with 10 indicating the highest value for wildlife (focusing on listed species). A copy ofthe FWC document that details construction ofthe model is attached to this assessment. Summary FLUCFCS & Wetlands As can be seen from the aerial and FLUCFCS mappings, the only difference between the Volpe parcel and the property to the north (receiving lands) is that they have been partially cleared for use as semi-improved pasture. Based on aerial interpretation and NRCS soils mapping, it appears that the majority of Section 27 has a similar upland\wetland ratio as that found on the Volpe parcel. Wildlife As can be seen from the FWC habitat rankings, Section 27 (receiving lands) has overall better habitat rankings and more habitat of better quality than Section 34 where the Volpe parcel is located. Conclusion In reviewing the attached maps and evaluating the Collier County North Belle Meade Overlay classifications as they relate to the Volpe parcel, it becomes quite obvious the arbitrary nature of the classifications. There is no compelling reason (other than the ease of section lines) that the Volpe parcel should have a NBMO classification different than the adjacent Section 27. TWP. 49S.-RNG. 27E.

Intearated Wildlife Habitat Rankina System Office of Environmental Services Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission 620 South Meridian St. Tallahassee, FL 32399-1600 December 7, 2001 Introduction The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Office of Environmental Services used GIS technology in working with existing resource data layers to identify and rank landscape level habitat areas which are important to a broad array of wildlife species. These species include mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles which are considered rare, or focal species, including wildlife which are officially listed by our agency as endangered, threatened, or species of special concern. The Integrated Wildlife Habitat Ranking System (modelresult.pdf and /modelfinalfmodelresult) resulted in a scored color-coded GIS map which depicts habitat values ranging from 1 to 10 based on a composite score of many important variables which collectively represent quality habitat. This information is provided as pa rt of our continuing technical assistance to the Florida Department of Transportation to assist in: (1) determining ways to avoid or minimize project impacts by evaluating alternative alignments and transportation corridors during early planning stages, (2) assessing direct, secondary, and cumulative impacts to habitat and wildlife resources, and (3) identifying appropriate parcels for public land acquisition for wetland and upland habitat mitigation purposes. The information provided is based on remote sensing data to assist in long-range planning. Onsite surveys, literature reviews, and direct coordination with our agency remain essential steps in documenting the presence or absence of fish and wildlife resources on a particular site prior to project initiation. The following information contains descriptions of the attached files and data sets used, methods of data preparation for use in the model, and contacts for further information. File Names The attached files in the /modellayers folder are the components of a model constructed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for the identification of areas important to wildlife in the State of Florida. carl_sorgrid - Conservation And Recreation/Save Our Rivers Lands distopub - Distance To Public Lands f10ridavar - Landscape Diversity greenway - Habitat Connectivity habitatpatch - Roadless Habitat Patch Size listsplocs - Listed Species publandfinal - Public Lands scaledbear - Scored Black Bear Potential Habitat Model shcafjnal - Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas sp_rich - Species Richness Proiection The data are provided in a customized Albers projection in the HPGN datum.

Name Land Cover Public Lands Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas (SHCA) Wildlife Potential Habitat Models ~~_~___~__ Description The land cover image was created by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission using Landsat Thematic Mapper data collected from 1987 to 1989. The image includes 22 classes that correspond to habitat descriptions outlined by Davis (1967), Hartman (1978), and the Soil Conservation Service (1979). Kautz et al. (1993) give detailed descriptions on the methods of image preparation. A comprehensive accounting of conservation lands in Florida is compiled and updated by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) (Jue et al. 2001). FNAI is the primary source for current boundary information for Florida conservation lands. Management practices can vary widely but all sites are potentially significant areas for wildlife conservation. The coverage utilized was current in April of 2001. The results of a study conducted by Cox et al. (1994). The SHCA identify privately owned lands needed to adequately protect 40 vertebrate species of wildlife, high quality rare habitats of Florida, roosting areas for bats, wetlands important to wading birds, and land important to the survivai of 105 globally rare plant species. Based on known locations of species of wildlife, information on the land cover and vegetation types used by each species, and published or well documented Continued Florida Greenways Project Conservation and Recreation lands (CARL) Save Our Rivers (SOR) Lands information on the life-history requirements of the species potential habitat models were constructed on a species level (Cox et al. 1994, Cox and Kautz 2000). These models identify those areas that could serve as potential habitat for the species. Results from an analysis of potential ecological connectivity using land-use data such as important habitats for target species, priority ecological communities, wetlands, roadless areas, floodplains, and important aquatic systems to identify areas with priority conservation significance and potential landscape linkages (Hoctor et al. 2000). lands identified to conserve and protect unique natural areas, endangered species, unusual geologic features, wetlands, and archaeological and historical sites. The lands acquired under the program are maintained as parks, recreation areas, wildlife management areas, wilderness areas, forests and greenways. Funding source comes primarily through the sale of bonds. Using monies from the Water Management lands Trust Fund and Preservation 2000, the SOR program enables the water management districts to acquire lands necessary for water management, water supply, and the conservation and protection of water resources including wildlife. File DescriDtions The files are in the form of grid data sets for use with the Spatial Analyst extension for the ArcView™ computer program. Each grid data set is actually a separate directory with associated tables and files that contain specific information about the grid. Each grid data set stores some files in an INFO directory found in the workspace. Because each grid data set stores files in and INFO directory, you can't rename, copy, or delete these files with your computer's file system. Rename, copy, or delete grid data sets with the Grid Manager supplied with the Spatial Analyst. Coverage landscape Diversity f10ridavar Roadless Habitat Patch Size habitatDatch Methods The land cover image was reclassified using a Variety neighborhood statistic with a radius of one mile. This analysis identified the number of different iand cover types within a one-mile radius of a pixel. Variety of habitat types within a one mile radius ranged from 1-16. The iand cover image was reclassed so that only categories representing native habitat were retained with a value of 1, all other areas were given a value of o. Next, to ensure that all major roads were accurately represented as sectioning the landscape, The Florida Geographic Data Library's Major Road Coverage was converted into a grid where all road networks were given a value of "no data" and all other areas were given a value of O. Next, using the map calculator, the reclassed landcover image was added to the road network grid and then a Region Group on the image was performed to group the continuous blocks of habitat_ Due to the size and scale of analysis a minimum habitat patch size of 0.15 km' was used. This size was chosen Continued Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas shcafinal Listed Species IistsDlocs Species Richness SD rich because Mykytka and Pelton (1989) found that habitat patches >0.15' km (37 acres) were important components of black bear habitat in the Osceola National Forest. The Florida black bear represents an integral species in the model. The history of black bear road kills in Florida Is well documented (Gilbert and Wooding 1996, Wooding and Brady 1987), and this topic is an important component for this model to address. Additionally, the black bear is a habitat generalist and is considered an umbrella species whose conservation requirements will meet the needs of other species. Following this, the image was reclassed based on the size of habitat parcels. Due to the extreme range of size of the parcels (from 0.15 km' to 6059 kIn') the areas were classed into quantiles and the habitat patches were scored based on which quartile they fell into. The scoring of patch sizes is given below: Value Criteria O. < 0.15 km' 1. 0.15 km' - 2.12 km' 2. 2.12 km' - 9.65 km' 3. 9.65 km' - 24.05 km' 4. 24.05 kIn' - 52.25 km' 5. 52.25 kIn' - 94.50 km' 6. 94.50 km' - 170.30 km' 7. 170.30 km' - 298.00 km' 8. 298.00 km' - 562.50 km' 9. 562.50 km' - 3030.50 km' 10. > 3030.50 km' All strategic habitat conservation areas were given a value of 1 with all other areas being O. Wildlife potential habitat models created by the Florida Fish and Wiidlife Conservation Commission for listed species were joined together. The image was classed based on the presence and listing status of species present and the species were then grouped and scored accordingly. The ranking system of the coverage is given below: Value Criteria 1. 1 Species of Special Concern 2. 2-3 Species of Special Concern 3. 4-5 Species of Special Concern 4. 6-7 Species of Special Concern 5. 8-9 Species of Special Concern 6. 1 Threatened Species 7. 2-3 Threatened Species 8. 4-5 Threatened Species 9. 6-7 Threatened Species 10. >0 Endangered Species This coverage represents the wildlife potential habitat models of 130 focal species overlaid together into one coverage. A cell's value represents the number of species identified as having potential habitat at that site. The range of values was 0 (representing no species) to 26 species overlapping in a single cell.

Habitat scores were based on proximity to existing conservation areas, size of road less areas, diversity of cover types, and the presence of specific cover types. The range of vaiues was from 1-10 with 10 being the most favorabie habitat for biack bears, one being the least favorabie. FNAI Public Lands Coverage from April 2001. Ail public lands were given a value of 1. All other areas were classed O. Performed a Find Distance query on the Public Lands within the study area. From the resuits, the range of values was divided into 10 discreet categories using equal intervais. Values assigned to cells were inversely proportional to the distance to public lands, (e.g. a cell with a value of 10 falls in the closest interval to public land, 9 is the next interval outward from public land, and so forth until the outermost interval). The ranking system of the coverage is given below: Value 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Greenway areas were given a value of 1 and ail other areas were classed O. Lands identified for both the CARL program and SOR that have not yet been purchased were merged together and given a value of one. All other areas were classed O. Model Construction MethodoloQY The model was accomplished in three steps: (1) identification of variables to include in the model, (2) scoring and standardization of all variables, and (3) the final addition of all the variables to produce the final image. All work was conducted in raster format using the Spatial Analyst Extension of the ArcView software package (ESRI, Redlands CA). The cell, or pixel, size used for the analysis was 30 x 30 m. The variables used to identify areas important for wildlife were obtained by utilizing various datasets that were in the form of preexisting GIS data layers, or coverages. The coverages were selected by their ability to accurately represent the natural vegetation of the study area, represent areas currently and potentially protected for wildlife, model wildlife habitats and locations, and identify other areas critical to wildlife (see Data Sets above). In order to obtain all of the variables needed to identify areas important to wildlife, the original coverages were manipulated to identify those data needed for the model (see File Descriptions above). Depending on the type of data, scores were developed for each variable that were either binary or scaled. In order to standardize each coverage so that all coverages were equally represented in the model, a value range of 0-1 was imposed. For binary coverages this resulted in the value of 1 representing the landscape feature the coverage is modeling and a value of 0 representing all other areas. For scaled coverages, a cell's value was calculated by normalizing the range of values found in the data set. For example, if distance to public lands had a range of values from 0-10, the coverage was divided by 10, resulting in a new range of values from 0-1. The final image was constructed by simply adding all standardized coverages together. The resulting values assigned to the cells were proportional to its importance to wildlife, (e.g. the higher the value of a cell the more important it is to wildlife). Final Imaae/Results The following contains information on the final product of the Integrated Wildlife Habitat Ranking System for DOT district 5. The final results of the model is provided in three formats on the CD: modelfinal.apr - This is an ArcView™ project file that includes the model's final results (lmodelfinaijdistrict5 on the CD), all information used in construction of the model, and supporting data useful for the model. To view, open district5.apr as a project in the ArcView™ computer program. jmodelfinaljmodelresult - This is the grid data set of the final results for use with the Spatial Analyst extension for the ArcView ™ computer program. Accompanying the grid data set is district5.avl. This is an ArcView™ legend palette file that contains the color scheme used in district5.apr and district5model.pdf (see below). modelresult.pdf - This is a printable map version of the model results in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format.

The slope is 0 to 2 percent. Typically, the surface layer is dark grayish brown fine sand about 4 inches thick, The subsurface layer is fine sand to a depth of about 35 inches, The upper pari of the subsurface layer is light gray, and the lower part is light brownish gray, The subsoil extends to a depth of about 60 inches. The upper part of the subsoil is black fine sand, the next part is very dark grayish brown fine sand, and the lower part is dark grayish brown fine sandy loam. Umestone bedrock is at a depth of about 60 inches. In 95 percent of the areas mapped as Oldsmar fine sand, limestone substratum, Oldsmar and similar soils make up 85 to 98 percent of the map unit. In the remaining areas, the Oldsmar soil makes up either a higher or lower percentage of the mapped areas. The characteristics of Immokalee and Wabasso soils are similar to those of the Oldsmar soil. The dissimilar soils in this map unit are small areas of Malabar, Pineda, and Riviera soils in sloughs. These soils make up about 0 to 15 percent of the map unij. The permeability of this soil is slow. The available waler capacity is low. Under natural conditions, the seasonal high water table is between 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. The natural vegetation consists mostly of cabbage palm, South Florida slash pine, saw palmetto, waxmyrtle. and chalky bluestem. This soil is poorly suited to cultivated crops because of the welness and droughtiness. The number of adapted crops is limited unless very intensive management practices are used. With good water-control and soil- improving measures, this soil is suitable for many fruit and vegetable crops. A water-control system is needed to remove excess water during wet seasons and to provide water through subsurface irrigation during dry seasons. Row crops should be rotated with cover crops. Seedbed preparation should include bedding of the rows. Applications of fertilizer and lime should be based on the needs of the crops. With proper water-control measures, the soil is well suited to citrus. A water-control system that maintains good drainage to an effective depth is needed. Planting on raised beds provides good surface and internal drainage and elevates Ihe trees above the seasonal high water table. Planting a good grass cover crop between the trees helps to protect the soil from blowing when the trees are younger. With good water-control management, this soil is well suited to pasture. A water-control system is needed to remove excess waler during the wet season. This soil is well suited to pangolagrass, bahiagrass, and clover. Excellent pastures of grass or a grass-clover mixture can be grown with good management. Regular applications of fertilizer and controlled grazing are needed for the highest possible yields. This soil is moderately suited to range. The dominant forage consists of creeping bluestem, lopsided indiangrass, pineland threeawn, and chalky bluestem. Management practices should include deferred grazing and brush control. This Oldsmar soil is In the South Florida Flatwoods range site. This soil has severe limitations for most urban uses because of wetness. It has severe limitations for septic tank absorption fields because of the wetness, slow percolation rate, and poor filtration. If this soil is used as a septic tank absorption field, it should be mounded to maintain the system well above the seasonal high water table. For recreational uses, this soil also has severe limitations because of wetness and the sandy texture; however, with proper drainage to remove excess surface water during wet periods, many of the effects of these limitations can be overcome. This Oldsmar soil is in capability subclass IVw. This non-hydric soil unit, although listed as the dominant unit, may also contain, as inclusions, as much as ZO percent other fresh water hydric soil units. Only on site inspection ("ground- truthing") can verify the specific unit found within the subject property. NOTE 25-Boca, Riviera, limestone substratum, and Copeland fine sands, depressional * These level, very poorly drained soils are in depressions, cypress swamps, and marshes. Individual areas are elongated and irregular in shape, and they range from 100 to 3,000 acres in size. The slope is 0 to 1 percent. Typically, the Boca soil has a surface layer of very dark gray fine sand about 4 inches thick. The subsurface layer is fine sand to a depth of about 26 inches. The upper part of the subsurface layer is light gray, and the lower part is brown. The subsoil is dark grayish brown fine sandy loam to a depth of about 30 inches. Limestone bedrock is at a depth of about 30 inches. Typically, the Riviera soil has a surface layer of gray fine sand about 6 inches thick. The subsurface layer is fine sand to a depth of about 32 inches. The upper part of the subsurface layer is light brownish gray, and the lower part is light gray. The subsoil is sandy clay loam to a depth of about 54 inches. The upper part of the subsoil is greyish brown, and the lower part is dark gray. Limestone bedrock is at a depth of about 54 inches. Typically, the Copeland soil has a surface layer ot black fine sand about 6 inches thick. The subsurface layer Is fine sand to a depth of about 18 inches. The upper part of the subsurface layer is very dark grayish brown, and the iower part is dark gray. The subsoil is light gray, mottled sandy clay loam to a depth of about 24 inches. The substratum is light gray marl to a depth of about 30 inches. Limestone bedrock is at a depth of about 30 inches. Mapped areas can consist entirely of the Boca soil, entirely of the Riviera soil, entirely of the Copeland soil, or any combination of the three soils. These three soils were not separated in mapping because of similar management needs resulting from the ponding. The characteristics of Holopaw, Malabar, and Pineda soils are similar to those of the major soils. The dissimilar soils in this map unit are small areas of Basinger, Dania, Gator, and Hallandale soils in similar landscape positions. These soils make up about 20 percent or less of the map unit. The permeability in the Boca soil is moderate, and the available water capacity is very low. The permeability in the Riviera soil is moderately rapid to moderately slow, and the available water capacity is low. The permeability in the Copeland soil Is moderately slow, and the available water capacity is moderate. Under natural conditions, these soils are ponded for 6 months or more each year. During the other months, the water table is within a depth of 12 inches, and it recedes to a depth of 12 to 40 inches during extended dry periods. These soils are not suited to cultivated crops or citrus because of fiooding, ponding, and wetness. They are used for natural wetlands. The natural vegetation consists mostly of baldcypress, pickerelweed, rushes, firefiag, sawgrass, and Florida willow. The Boca, Riviera, and Copeland soils have not been assigned to a range site. These soils have severe limitations for all urban and recreational uses because of ponding and the depth to bedrock. An effective drainage system that keeps the water table below a given depth is needed but is difficult to establish and maintain. These soils are in landscape positions that act as a collecting basin for the area; therefore, a suitable outlet to remove the water is often not available. They require an adequate amount of fill material to maintain house foundations and road beds above the high water table. Even when a good drainage system is installed and the proper amount of fill material is added, keeping the area dry is a continual problem because of seepage water from the slightly higher adjacent sloughs and fiatwoods. The Boca, Riviera, and Copeland soils are in capability subclass Vllw. 7(: /) J/YJJ/d)C ~~pt 1I,,;r W K~vtr€.- 1DteJ1h'oJ t~rn'cl.or ~)( EX+tnsfoy\ X h'rre ~ ~ .:5 ::J, P ~ :). ~ 1::\ ~ ...c U'\ - g: S VI ~. . . ....:~c..r.............. c............... --- .. y ~~'ikre- ~ _r-m.'

AMERICAN FARMS 55:t ACRE PARCEL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT November 4, 2004 Introduction On September 29, 2004, Passarella and Associates, Inc. conducted an environmental assessment on the American Farms 5500 Acre Parcel located in Section 29, Township 49 South, Range 27 East, Collier County, Florida (Figure I). The assessment was prepared to address vegetation communities, jurisdictional wetlands, and listed species. Vegetation Communities The vegetation mapping for the subject property was conducted using 2004 rectified (scale I" = 200') color aerials. Groundtruthing to map the vegetative communities was conducted on September 29, 2004 utilizing the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS), Level III and IV (Florida Department of Transportation 1999). AutoCAD (Version 2004) software was used to determine the acreage of each mapping area, produce summaries, and generate the final FLUCFCS map (Figures 2 and 3). A total of eight vegetation associations (i.e., FLUCFCS codes) were identified on the property. A summary of the vegetation communities identified by FLUCFCS code is as follows: Nurserv (FLUCFCS Code 240) This upland land use occupies the majority of the site and contains no native habitat types. Pine Flatwoods. Disturbed (FLUCFCS Code 41 19) This upland habitat has a canopy of slash pine (Pinus elliottii) and scattered cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto). The sub-canopy is mostly open with scattered melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia), wax-myrtle (Myrica cerifera), and cabbage palm. The ground cover is dominated by saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) with rusty lyonia (Lyonia ferruginea), wiregrass (Aristida stricta), caesarweed (Urena lobata), and grapevine (Vilis rotundifolia), Pine (FLUCFCS Code 415) This upland habitat has a canopy that consists of slash pine. The sub-canopy includes slash pine and widely scattered cypress (Taxodium distichum). The ground cover includes scattered saw palmetto, cabbage palm, chocolateweed (Melochia corchorifolia), blackroot (Pterocaulon pycnostachyum), St. John's wort (Hypericum tetrapetalum), false pimpernel (Lindernia spp.), and grapevine. Cypress. Disturbed (FLUCFCS Code 6219) This wetland habitat has a canopy consisting of cypress and cabbage palm. The sub-canopy includes swamp bay (Persea palustris), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), wax-myrtle, Passarella and Associates, Inc. #04AFL 1186 11/04/04 lof5 Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), and salt bush (Baccharis halimifolia). The ground cover includes swamp fern (Blechnum serrulatum), pickerelweed (Pontedaria cordata), gulfdune paspalum (Paspalum monostachyum), alligator flag (Thalia geniculata), and hempvine (Mikania scandens). Pine-Cvpress, Disturbed (FLUCFCS Code 6249) This wetland habitat has a canopy of slash pine, cypress, and cabbage palm. The sub-canopy includes Brazilian pepper, swamp bay (Persea palustris), primrose willow (Ludwigia peruviana), and cabbage palm. The ground cover includes swamp fern, salt bush, sawgrass (Cladiumjamaicense), Virginia chain fern (Woodwardia virginiana), and Brazilian pepper. Freshwater Marsh, Disturbed (FLUCFCS Code 6419) This wetland habitat has an open canopy with scattered cypress and cabbage palm. The sub- canopy includes Brazilian pepper, melaleuca, and buttonbush. The ground cover includes maidencane (Panicum hemitomon), flatsedge (Cyperus haspan), swamp fern, inundated beaksedge (Rhynchospora inundata), alligator flag, salt bush, and pickerelweed. Disturbed Land, Hydric (FLUCFCS Code 7401) This wetland land use has an open canopy and sub-canopy. The ground cover is mostly open with scattered dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), sesbania (Sesbania sp.), and maidencane. Spoil Area (FLUCFCS Code 743) This upland land use has an open canopy and sub-canopy, The ground cover is dominated by beggar's tick (Bidens pUosa) with scattered dogfennel, sesbania, and maidencane. Jurisdictional Wetlands The subject property was reviewed for both state and federal wetland jurisdiction using the "Delineation of the Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters" (Chapter 62-340, Florida Administrative Code) and the Corps of Engineers (COE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (COE 1997). Approximately 10.37 acres of the property are potential state and federal jurisdictional wetlands. Potential wetland areas include areas mapped as Cypress, Disturbed (FLUCFCS Code 6219); Pine-Cypress, Disturbed (FLUCFCS Code 6249); Freshwater Marsh (FLUCFCS Code 6419); and Disturbed Land, Hydric (FLUCFCS Code 7401). Wetland limits have not been verified by any agency. Based on review of the Natural Resources Conservation Service Soils Survey for Collier County (Soils Conservation Service 1998), the subject property contains one hydric soil type identified as Unit 18 - Riviera fine sand, limestone substratum (Figure 4). Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands require an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) from the state and a Dredge and Fill Permit from the COE. ERP's are issued by either the Florida Department of Environmental Protection or the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) depending on the type and size of project. Passarella and Associates, Inc, #04AFLl186 ] 1/04104 20f5 Listed Species A survey for listed species was conducted as part of this assessment. No state or federal listed species were observed on the subject property during the September 29, 2004 site inspection. The proximity of listed species to the project site as recorded by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) is provided as Figure 5, Listed wildlife species that were not observed but have the potential to occur on the undeveloped portion of the project site are listed in Table I. Information used in assessing the potential occurrence of these species included Rare and Endangered Biota of Florida Volume I. Manunals (Humphrey 1992); Volume III. Amphibians and Reptiles (Moler 1992); Volume V. Birds (Rodgers et al. 1996); and personal experience and knowledge of the geographic region. Table 1.

Df'!Z-J\ 1Y .::#. 'i1 - 70 November 8, 2004 Ms. Marsha Kendall Collier County Community Development & Environmental Services Division Comprehensive Planning Department 2800 North Horseshoe Drive Naples, FL 34104 Re: Petition to adjust Sending Land Boundaries, pursuant to Section B-I-C-8, Collier County Comprehensive Plan, on behalf of Merrily Ray Walter, et aI., owners of properties with Tax IDs 289480001, et al., as shown on the attached Exhibit A. Dear Ms. Kendall: Section II to the Future Land Use Element of Collier County's Growth Management Plan was effectuated by order of the Florida Department of Community Affairs on July 22, 2003. Section B-I-C-8-8, titled "Adjustment to the Sending Land Boundaries," provides that all properties that are designated Sending Lands and are contiguous to a Neutral or Receiving Land Boundary will receive written notice of an opportunity to submit additional data and analysis to Collier County to demonstrate that a change to the appropriate boundaries is warranted. That section further provides that, within one year of the date that the notices are sent, the County will initiate a comprehensive plan amendment to adopt those boundary changes that are warranted by the data and analysis submitted. A description of the properties encompassed by this Petition is attached to this letter as Exhibit A. On behalf of Merrily Ray Walter, et aI., I request that their properties, with Tax IDs 289480001, et al., within North Belle Meade and as shown on the attached exhibit, be considered favorably for re-designation as Receiving or Neutral rather than Sending. Section B-I-C-8 employs the word "property," rather than the word "parcel" that is used in several contexts in the Rural Fringe Amendments. I understand this to mean that a single "property" may be comprised of several "parcels" under common ownership or part of a common plan, with different tax identification numbers. Accordingly, this Petition is made on behalf of the owners of properties (under common or connected ownership) as a whole, and not simply those tax parcels that abut the Sending/Receiving or SendinglNeutral boundaries. Petitioners submit the following additional data to aid Collier County in determining whether their properties should be re-designated as Receiving or Neutral. Petitioners also request the opportunity to have their experts address the Collier County Planning Commission and County Commission when these Petitions are heard. 1. These lands contain significant deposits of easily accessible DOT and hard aggregate grade limestone. The presence of locally scarce limestone is an explicit factor in the determination of Receiving Lands within the North Belle Meade Overlay to the Rural Fringe Amendments. Stan Chrzanowski, a Collier County Engineering Services Department employee, has just released a PowerPoint presentation to support a County re- examination of the limerock mining issue. Collier County's need for limestone to keep pace with new construction and planned road improvements is self-evident. The economic impact of transporting limestone into Collier County from outside the County is negative. This issue is scheduled for presentation to the County Commission on November 16, 2004. The following figure is reproduced from Mr. Chrzanowski's draft of his presentation, and demonstrates the presence of substantial hard limestone substrata on the Petitioners' properties. Present Limitations on Mining ~,,:, D,",' .....,.llh Llm.,,"1';"'. S..IMtr"""," .-~,..., .-. ..oj.. .':'" "'?--!~~' ,_,.,_, > '0,. ':6j:~ _., . '''.n'd~"'p'''',."" _.. ''':;:~i .. 2. The Presence of wetlands is dramatically less than thought by the County at the time that the Sending and Receiving Designations were created. The County, in preparing its Sending and Receiving Designations, relied entirely upon large-scale Land Use and Land Cover thematic maps created by the South Florida Water Management District and other agencies. Collier County put so much faith in these thematic maps that it never sent anyone to personally view the vegetation in North Belle Meade. (This is a process known as ground-truthing.) Failure to ground-truth is considered inappropriate under the Florida Wetlands Delineation Manual in areas where the lands have been impacted by drainage. The North Belle Meade area is surrounded on all four sides by canals and has been severely impacted through drainage over the past 30+ years. The effect of this drainage has been to almost completely eliminate the former wetlands in North Belle Meade. Attached as Exhibit B is an actual, 2003, wetland map of North Belle Meade prepared by Creative Environmental Services, Inc. ("CES"). CES prepared this wetland delineation map using the latest USGS infrared photography, the 2002 Collier County high resolution aerial photos from the Property Appraiser's Office, and on-the-spot ground-truthing. The CES wetland map shows that only about 1.3% of North Belle Meade meets state and federal criteria for "wetlands," and those areas are depressions, or "ponds." The CES wetland map shows that Collier s deslgnmioJ:) of the North Belle Meade "Sending" areas was based on invali d incorrect land cover thematic maps. For that reason alone, Collier Count m re- alyze its faulty reasoning and grant Petitioners' requests to re-designate elr properties as or Neutral.

This assessment was prepared to address vegetation communities, listed species, and historical and archaeological resources within areas proposed for redesignation as receiving lands (Figure 2). Vegetation Communities The vegetation mapping for the subject area was conducted using 2004 rectified (scale I" = 400') color aerials. Groundtruthing to map the vegetative communities was conducted on October 19, 2004 and November 2,2004 utilizing the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS), Level III and IV (Florida Department of Transportation 1999). AutoCAD (Version 2004) software was used to determine the acreage of each mapping area, produce summaries, and generate the final FLUCFCS Detail of Proposed Sending/Receiving Boundary Map (Figure 2). A total of seven vegetation associations (i.e., FLUCFCS codes) were identified within the areas proposed for redesignation as receiving lands. A summary of the vegetation communities identified by FLUCFCS code are as follows: Sod Farm (FLUCFCS Code 242) This agricultural area is actively being farmed for sod. Inactive Farm Field (FLUCFCS Code 261) This agricultural area has been used for the production of row crops but is currently inactive. Ground cover vegetation includes dog fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), broomsedge (Andropogon sp.), primrose willow (Ludwigia peruviana), flatsedge (Cyperus sp.), and torpedo grass (Panicum repens). Pine. Disturbed (FLUCFCS Code 4159 E4) (76 - 100% Exotics) This disturbed upland habitat is vegetated by a scattered canopy of slash pine (Pinus elliottii), cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), and red maple (Acer rubrum). The sub-canopy consists of Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), cabbage palm, and wax-myrtle (Myrica cerifera). The ground cover includes Brazilian pepper and muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia). Brazilian pepper occupies greater than 75 percent of this area. Passarella and Associates, Inc. #97WAJ152 11/05/04 lof5 Brazilian Pepper (FLUCFCS Code 422) This disturbed upland habitat is vegetated by a canopy of Brazilian pepper with scattered live oak (Quercus virginiana) and slash pine. The sub-canopy is dominated by Brazilian pepper with scattered wax-myrtle and primrose willow. The ground cover is open with muscadine grape and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crusgalli). Brazilian pepper occupies greater than 75 percent of this area. Ditch (FLUCFCS Code 514) This other surface water area is predominantly open water with scattered Carolina willow (Salix caroliniana), Brazilian pepper, and primrose willow. The herbaceous cover includes water pennywort (Hydrocotyle umbellata), Asiatic pennywort (Centella asiatica), smartweed (Polygonum sp.), and paragrass (Urochloa muticans). Reservoir (FLUCFCS Code 530) This agricultural reservoir is vegetated by scattered Brazilian pepper and Carolina willow. The ground cover includes torpedograss, water pennywort, cattail (Typha sp.), and primrose willow. Berm (FLUCFCS Code 747) This disturbed upland habitat is vegetated by a canopy that includes slash pine, laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), live oak, Brazilian pepper, and cabbage palm. The sub-canopy includes Brazilian pepper, wax-myrtle, and scattered Carolina willow. The ground cover includes Spanish needles (Bidens pilosa), common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), caesarweed (Urena lobata), virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), swamp flatsedge (Cyperus ligularis), primrose willow, and muscadine grape. Listed Species A survey for listed species was conducted within areas proposed for redesignation as receiving lands on October 19, 2004 and November 2, 2004. Three state listed species were observed during the survey conducted on October 19, 2004. The little blue heron (Egretta caerulea), tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor), and American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) were observed in the Ditch (FLUCFCS Code 514) and Reservoir (FLUCFCS Code 530) habitats. The proximity of listed species to the project site as recorded by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is provided as Figure 3. Listed wildlife species that have the potential to occur in areas proposed for redesignation from sending to receiving are listed in Table 1. Information used in assessing the potential occurrence of these species included Rare and Endangered Biota of Florida Volume I. Mammals (Humphrey 1992); Volume 111. Amphibians and Reptiles (Moler 1992); Volume V. Birds (Rodgers et al. 1996); and personal experience and knowledge of the geographic region.
