Agenda 07/07/2015 Item #16D137/7/2015 16.D.13.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Right of Entry to the Southwest Florida Research and Education
Center (SWFREC) University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) to
install, maintain and monitor groundwater monitoring wells at the Pepper Ranch Preserve as part
of the Lake Trafford Watershed Boundary Study.
OBJECTIVE: To grant a right of entry to Southwest Florida Research and Education Center
(SWFREC) University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) for access,
construction, and maintenance of up to eleven (11) groundwater monitoring wells at the Pepper Ranch
Preserve.
CONSIDERATIONS: SWFREC- UF/IFAS is requesting permission to install 11 shallow ( <10 ft)
monitoring wells at the Pepper Ranch Preserve as part of the Lake Trafford Watershed Boundary Study.
Preliminary estimated coordinates and mapped locations for the wells have been determined but may be
changed after a field visit during July- August 2015.
SWFREC- UF/IFAS's study will enhance understanding of the water and nutrient inputs and outputs to
Lake Trafford and aid in development of a robust management plan to achieve water quality goals for the
lake. The study in the Lake Trafford basin includes installing groundwater monitoring wells at selected
locations in the basin to develop an accurate watershed boundary map. The results from this study will
help SWFREC -UF /IFAS and the County plan water quality improvement projects that will help restore
Lake Trafford.
In order for SWFREC -UF /IFAS to install, maintain and monitor the monitoring wells, it will be necessary
to grant SWFREC- UF/IFAS access in the form of a Right of Entry. The duration of the Right of Entry is
two (2) years and may be automatically renewed for one year.
FISCAL IMPACT: All associated costs with this transaction will be paid by Conservation Collier, as a
project partner. Funds in the amount of $100.00 for recording of the Right of Entry are available to be
withdrawn from the Conservation Collier Land Management Trust Fund (174).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan related to
this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATION: This item is legally sufficient and requires a majority vote for Board
action.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County, Florida:
1) Approves and authorizes the Chairman to execute the attached Right of Entry; and 2) Directs the
County Manager or his designee to proceed to follow all appropriate closing procedures and to record the
aforementioned document in the Public Records of Collier County, Florida.

OF /IFAS would like to install shallow wells to monitor water levels across Pepper Ranch
Preserve and requests Right of Entry through April 2017. The maximum depth of the monitoring
wells will be 10 ft. below the ground level and they will be screened for the entire depth. The
monitoring data from these wells will be used to evaluate the flows from and to the Pepper
Ranch. These flow assessments will be used to delineate the watershed boundary for the Lake
Trafford under a project funded by the Big Cypress Basin office of the SFWMD. The specific
locations for these will be determined after a detailed field visit during July- August 2015.
Depending on the detailed field visit, no more than 11 wells will be installed (two transects of
four and one transect of three). Preliminary estimated coordinates for monitoring well locations
are shown below in Table 1. The locations (preliminary) of these wells are shown in Figure 1.
The location of the wells may be changed after field visit and topographic and hydrologic
analyses

Trafford project. Maximum well depth is 10 ft. below ground surface.
