EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CU- 2006 -AR- 10805, Rinker Materials of Florida, Inc., represented by Robert J. Mulhere,
AICP, of RWA Consulting, Inc. and John M. Passidomo, Esquire, of Cheffy, Passidomo,
Wilson and Johnson, LLP; are requesting a Conditional Use within a Rural Agricultural
(A) with a Mobile Home Overlay (A -MHO) Zoning District, pursuant to Section 2.04.03,
Table 2, and Section 4.08.06.B.4.b, of the Land Development Code, to allow earth mining
and related processing and production of material for a project to be known as Hogan
Island Quarry, located three quarters of a mile north of the Immokalee Road (CR -846) and
Oil Well Grade Road intersection, in portions of Section(s) 9, 10, 15, 16, 21, and 22,
Township 47 South, Range 28 East, of Collier County, Florida
OBJECTIVE:
To have the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) consider a Conditional Use as noted above, and
ensure that the project is in harmony with all the applicable codes and regulations in order to
make certain that the community's interests are maintained.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The petitioner's conditional use application seeks approval of an earth mining operation for a
limestone and sand quarry on 967.65± acres.
The application indicates that the proposed earth mining operation will be comprised of the
following:
• Up to three lakes totaling 740 acres, at the completion of the excavation activities
(with 7 actual mining cells totaling ±700 acres) See attached Conceptual Site Plan;
• Asphalt /Concrete Batch Making Plant (now eliminated from application by the
petitioner);
• Aggregate Processing;
• System of internal roadways serving the excavation site (most of which will
ultimately be removed); and
• A 12.77 -acre on -site preserve (adjacent to the eastern boundary).
According to the applicant, mining activities will involve excavating overburden and underlying
limestone deposits through the creation of various "working" cell pits. It is likely that two or
three cell pits would be under excavation at any one time. Blasting is necessary as part of the
mining operation, and would occur six to eight feet below ground, but would only be conducted
during day light hours. (All blasting will be in compliance with blasting requirements, as
specified in Section 10.08 of the Land Development Code.) Actual mining activities, however,
would be conducted twenty -four hours a day. Over 4.5 million tons of aggregate material is
proposed to be removed.
CU -06 -AR -10805 Page I of 11
7 -1 -08
Agenda Item No, 17D
July 22, 2008
Page 2 of 157
The aggregate processing plant, consisting of crushers and conveyors, would involve the
processing of excavated materials. Stock piles of raw and processed product (limestone
aggregate and sand) would be stored on site. The plant is expected to operate 16 hours per day.
The site will also contain a shall office building, maintenance shop /storage facility(s), parking
areas, and above ground fuel and oil storage tanks. Although an asphalt/concrete batch making
plant was initially proposed, and may be found in the application and EIS, this use was
eliminated from the applicant's proposal during the Environmental Advisory Council (EAC)
meeting.
A system of temporary haul roads will be built within the mining area around and throughout the
various cell pits as well. These roads would lead to the processing plant near stock piles of
excavated materials on site and will provide ongoing access to agricultural operations that will be
ongoing during the excavation process. At the conclusion of excavation activities, these roads,
which are proposed to isolate the three lakes, may be removed to create one large lake. The site
is accessed from Immokalee Road via Oil Well Grade Road extension.
The subject property, in addition to being zoned Agriculture, is within the Rural Land
Stewardship Area (RLSA) and is designated "open lands ". The RLSA allows the removal of
certain land use layers in exchange for Stewardship Credits; however, only base line zoning
standards are being employed for this petition. Earth mining is permitted as a conditional use
within both the Agricultural Zoning District and RLSA overlay zoning district.
Should this Conditional Use petition be approved, mining activities are proposed to be on -going
for eight to ten years. No long range uses, at the conclusion of proposed mining activities, are
proposed. Upon the completion of the mining activities, the site would exist as a single 740 acre
lake, which may be bisected by one or more roadways, including a series of hydrologically
connected pipes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Conditional Use (CU), by and of itself, will have no fiscal impact on Collier County. There
is no guarantee that the project, at build out, will maximize its authorized level of development,
however, if the CU is approved, a portion of the land could be developed, and the new
development will result in an impact on Collier County public facilities.
The County collects impact fees prior to the issuance of building permits to help offset the
impacts of each new development on public facilities. These impact fees are used to fund
projects identified in the Capital Improvement Element (CIE) of the Growth Management Plan
(GMP) as needed to maintain adopted Level of Service (LOS) for public facilities. Additionally,
in order to meet the requirements of concurrency management, the developer of every local
development order approved by Collier County is required to pay 50 percent of the estimated
Transportation Impact Fees associated with the project. Other fees collected prior to issuance of
a building permit include building permit review fees and any applicable impact fees due at
issuing of the final development order. Finally, additional revenue is generated by application of
ad valorem tax rates, and that revenue is directly related to the value of the improvements.

Please note that the inclusion of impact fees and taxes collected are for informational purposes
only; they are not included in the criteria used by Staff and the Planning Commission to analyze
this petition.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) IMPACT•
Future Land Use Element (FLUE): The subject property has two land use designations:
Agricultural/Mixed Use District and Rural Land Stewardship Area (RLSA) according to the
Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). According to the
Agricultural /Mixed Use District of the FLUE, "Earth mining, oil extraction and related
processing" are permissible activities within these land use designations. The "Rural Land
Stewardship Area" (RLSA) of the FLUE also specifies under Policy 3.7 that,
"General Conditional Uses, Earth Mining and Processing Uses, and Recreational
Uses shall be allowed only on Habitat Sending Area lands with a Natural Resource
Stewardship Index value of 1.2 or less. "
Because the property is located in that which is referred to as "Open Area" in the RLSA and has
a Natural Resource Stewardship Index value of less than 1.2, the proposed mining operation
would be an authorized use under the FLUE.
Policy 3.7 of the RLSA of the FLUE also states the following:
In addition to the requirements imposed in the LDC for approval of Conditional
Uses, such uses will only he approved upon submittal of an EIS (Environmental
Impact Statement) which demonstrates that clearing of native vegetation has been
minimized, the use will not significantly and adversely impact listed species and
their habitats, and the use will not significantly and adversely impact aquifers. As
an alternative to the foregoing, the applicant ma v demonstrate that such use is an
integral part of an approved restoration or mitigation program.
Comprehensive Planning defers to the Environmental Services Department for consistency
review of the Petitioner's response under this RLSA Policy.
Based on the above analysis, staff concludes the proposed Conditional Use may be deemed
consistent with the FLUE of the GMP.
Transportation Element: The project proposes 198 total two way peak PM hour trips
associated with the Conditional Use. This represents an 8.2 percent impact on Immokalee Road
from Oil Well Road to Camp Keais Road with a remaining PM Peak capacity of 423 trips. The
project generates less than a 2 percent impact on the secondary concurrency links. The following
commitments were reached in cooperation with the Developer.
• The applicant shall provide a $1.00 payment -in -lieu of road maintenance for every
loaded vehicle which exits the site. The payment will be made quarterly.
CU -06 -AR -10805 Page 3 of 11
7 -1 -08
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22.. 2068
Page 4 of 157
• The applicant shall be fully responsible for designing, permitting, and constructing
both left and right turn lanes at the project entrance on Immokalee Road and both
east and west bound acceleration lanes on Immokalee Road per FDOT standards.
• The applicant shall provide traffic monitoring reports every six months or
alternatively may install 2 permanent count stations per County standards.
• The County will perform random annual intersection analysis at Everglades
Boulevard and Immokalee Road in the first three years and if at such time the site
generates trips that exceed 40 left turning movements, from Immokalee onto
Everglades Boulevard during the 3 -year period, then the applicant shall design,
permit, and construct a westbound to southbound left turn lane on Immokalee Road
to Everglades Boulevard.
• The County and applicant agree that any road plans (i.e., turn lanes, acceleration
lanes, and so forth) shown in the Conditional Use application are conceptual. Final
construction plans shall be submitted through the ROW permit process and be
subject to full review.
Based upon these findings, the Hogan Island Quarry Conditional Use application can be deemed
consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan
(GMP).
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IMPACT:
Approval of this Conditional Use request will not have an impact on affordable housing demand
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:
The project's effort to minimize impact to the environment would involve establishment of a
single on site preserve adjacent to the eastern property boundary. Forty -four percent, or 12.77
acres, of existing native vegetation on site would be preserved, which exceeds the County's
corresponding 40 percent native vegetation preservation requirement. Listed animal species
observed on site were wood storks, sand -hill cranes, and white ibis. Quarry reclamation
activities would include planting lake shorelines with a variety of native littoral zone species,
which would provide desirable habitats for listed wading bird foraging habitat and for alligators,
thereby offsetting impacts to habitats currently utilized by these species.
There are a total of five (non - jurisdictional) isolated wetlands within the boundaries of the
project site totaling 10.95 acres. The wetlands are identified as W -1 through W -5. These
wetlands would be eliminated, but would be substituted by off site mitigation areas "OM -1" and
"OM -2 ". These two off site areas total 32.47 acres and would contain 27.77 acres of wetlands.
The mitigation areas are proposed to be contiguous to the proposed on site preserve, as well as
adjoin water retention areas (WRAs), habitat stewardship areas (HSAs), and flow -way
stewardship areas (FSAs). South Florida Water Management permits would be required for any
impacts to wetlands. Of the 967.65± acre project site, 94 percent is classified as uplands, five
CU -06 -AR -10805 Paee 4 of 11

percent as surface waters, and one percent as wetlands. The property is currently being used as
agricultural lands, and has been in agricultural production for decades. Other features of the site
include pasture and woodland areas, drainage ditches, farm roads and trails, and previously
cleared facility areas.
Other criterion (Subsection 4.02.02.B.3.a.vii) the project must meet is as follows:
• The project shall not be located within the greenline area of concern for the Florida State
Park System;
• The project shall not be located within an Area of Critical Concern as depicted on the
Future Land Use Map of the GMP;
• The project shall not be located within 1,000 feet of a natural reservation; and
• The project shall not be located within any County, State or Federal jurisdictional
wetland area.
The project complies with this criterion.
In addition, the Engineering and Environmental Services Department staff has reviewed this
petition and recommended the following conditions of approval:
1. Prior to issuance of an excavation permit, the applicant shall demonstrate compliance
with Policy 5.6.3.E If agency permits have not provided wetland mitigation
consistent with this policy, Collier County will require mitigation exceeding that of
the jurisdictional agencies prior to approval;
2. At the next development order, the wetland line shall be approved by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection and delineated on the site plan;
3. Restoration planting plan and conservation easement approval for on site and off site
preserves will be required prior to approval of the excavation permit or development
order prior. Recording of the conservation easement will be required within 90 days
of first development order approval; and
4. To be consistent with Subsection 4.08.05.J.3.a. i and ii of the Collier County Land
Development Code requiring that open space and vegetative buffers be established
between the wildlife habitat areas and the areas dominated by human activities, the
applicant shall obtain, and make the excavation permit construction drawings
consistent with the written Technical Assistance from US Fish and Wildlife Service
and Florida Fish and the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission prior to issuance
of the excavation permit.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (LAC) RECOMMENDATION:
On May 7, 2008, the EAC heard this request and by a vote of seven in favor and one opposed
CU -06 -AR -10805 Page 5 of 11
7 -1 -08
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2008
Page n of 157
voted to forward this petition with a recommendation of approval subject to staff stipulations
above as well as the following:
1. Eliminating the following use: Asphaltic and concrete batch making plant.
2. Adding the following stipulation: Littoral shelves for wading birds shall be constructed
around areas designated "OM -I" and "OM -2 in addition to those shown on the site plan
and described in the 'voluntary commitments" below of which the applicant has agreed.
During the meeting, the EAC expressed the following concerns and recommended that they be
presented to the CCPC and BCC to consider, and for the applicant to address these issues with
the appropriate permitting agencies:
• Effects of truck traffic generated by the Proposed use. The effects of truck traffic
are addressed in the TIS, and Transportation Department's stipulations of
approval. Please see Recommendations page, stipulations 1 1 through 15;
• Effects of a 24 hour operation related to lighting and noise on existing or future
proposed adiacent uses: The applicant proposes to provide a lighting and noise
abatement/control plan. Please see "Voluntary Commitments" below, which will
be reconsidered by the EAC prior to the issuance of the Excavation Permit;
• Increasing buffer widths to 300 feet around perimeter of the pits adjacent to areas
designated as HSAs: The applicant feels this is not necessary or appropriate at
this time. The applicant states that the LDC does not specify a buffer width, and
that the buffer designed to date has been designed to address the Jurisdictional
Agency's specific concerns, and that the Agency's initial request for a 300 -foot
buffer has been withdrawn with a commitment that the a(lency and petitioner
would come up with an acceptable buffer as part of the consultation process;
• Requirement for funding of future construction of wildlife crossings: The
applicant states they are agreeable to funding their fair share of the cost of a
wildlife crossing based upon a percentage of overall trips on Immokalee Road
(given the estimated one million dollar cost of the wildlife underpass). They state
it is not likely that a wildlife crossing will be constructed for a number of years.
Therefore, as an alternative, they offer the same amount towards installation of
two yellow caution lights (notifying drivers of panther crossing and to use caution
and reduce speed) located east and west of the slough/strand and relating to
signage in the event the Comity elects to reduce the speed limit within the wildlife
crossing corridor.
Also, during the EAC meeting, the petitioner offered additional mitigation measures as
noted below. Because these additional proposed mitigation measures were not presented
until the date of the EAC meeting, County staff did not have an opportunity to review
these conditions. As a result, the EAC recommended approval subject to the CCPC
conditions of approval and the following conditions to be added as "Voluntary
Commitments ". These conditions will be evaluated in full prior to the presentation to the
Board of Zoning Appeals.

a location to be determined most appropriate to benefit the Florida Panther and other
species after consultation with appropriate state and federal jurisdictional agencies. The
fair share cost shall be a percentage of the total cost of a wildlife crossing, not to exceed
$20,000, based upon the project's Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) estimated total trips as
compared to the County approved service volume of the future 4 or 6 -lane condition for
Immokalee Road. Payment shall be made within 90 days of request by Collier County
Transportation Services Division, but no later than the expiration of the Conditional Use
application or approval, as the case may be.
The CCPC also voted to eliminate the following stipulation by the Public Utilities Department:
Prior to the issuance of an excavation permit, the applicant shall provide four well
site easements. The four well site easements consisting of three well sites of 100
feet x 100 feet each and one well site of 150 feet x 150 feet on the property. The
necessary utility casements for access and underground pipeline /power /telemetry
and appurtenances from the well sites to the public right -of -way on Immokalee
Road shall also be provided. The utility /access easement should be 20 feet wide
unless it is contiguous to a public right -of -way.
While one EAC member voted in opposition because staff did not have time during the EAC
meeting to determine if the proposed additional mitigation would adequately mitigate the
project's impact, staff as well as the CCPC have now determined that the proposed mitigation
will adequately alleviate any adverse impacts. Therefore, the only EAC objection has been
resolved. As a result of a unanimous CCPC recommendation of approval and because staff has
not received any letters of opposition, this petition has been placed on the summary agenda.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Before you is a recommendation by the Planning Commission for approval of a Conditional Use
to allow earth mining and the related processing and production of material. A Conditional Use
is a use that is permitted in a particular zoning district subject to certain restrictions. Decisions

regarding Conditional Uses are quasi- judicial, and all testimony given must be under oath. The
attached report and recommendations of the Planning Commission required are advisory only
and are not binding on you. The petitioner has the burden of demonstrating that the necessary
requirements have been met, and you may question Petitioner, or Staff, to satisfy yourself that
the necessary criteria has been satisfied. In addition to meeting the necessary criteria, you may
place such conditions and safeguards as you deem appropriate to allow the use, provided that
there is competent, substantial evidence that these additional conditions and safeguards are
necessary to promote the public health, safety, welfare, morals, order, comfort, convenience,
appearance, or the general welfare of the neighborhood. As a further condition of approval of
the Conditional Use, you may require that suitable areas for streets, public rights -of -way,
schools, parks, and other public facilities be set aside, improved, and /or dedicated for public use,
subject to appropriate impact fee credits. Approval or denial of the Petition is by Resolution,
with approval of the Conditional Use requiring four affirmative votes of the Board. This item is
legally sufficient for Board action. MMSS

PURPOSEIDESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
The petitioner's conditional use application seeks approval of an earth mining operation for a
limestone and sand quarry on 967.65± acres.
The application indicates that the proposed earth mining operation will be comprised of the
following:
• Up to three lakes totaling 740 acres, at the completion of the excavation activities
(with 7 actual mining cells totaling ±700 acres) See attached Conceptual Site Plan;
• Asphalt/Concrete Batch Making Plant (now eliminated from application by the
petitioner);
• Aggregate Processing
• System of internal roadways serving the excavation site (most of which will
ultimately be removed); and
• A 12.77 -acre on -site preserve (adjacent to the eastern boundary);
According to the applicant, mining activities will involve excavating overburden and underlying
limestone deposits through the creation of various "working" cell pits. It is likely that two or
three cell pits would be under excavation at any one time. Blasting is necessary as part of the
mining operation, and would occur six to eight feet below ground, but would only be conducted
during day light hours. (All blasting will be in compliance with blasting requirements, as
specified in Section 10.08 of the Land Development Code.) Actual mining activities, however,
would be conducted twenty -four hours a day. Over 4.5 million tons of aggregate material.is
proposed to be removed.
The aggregate processing plant, consisting of crushers and conveyors, would involve the
processing of excavated materials. Stock piles of raw and processed product (limestone
aggregate and sand) would be stored on -site. The plant is expected to operate 16 hours per day.
The site will also contain a small office building, maintenance shop /storage facility(s), parking
areas, and above ground fuel and oil storage tanks. Although an asphalt/concrete batch making
plant was initially proposed, and may be found in the application and EIS, this use was
eliminated from the applicant's proposal during the EAC meeting.
A system of temporary haul roads will be built within the mining area around and throughout the
various cell pits as well. These roads would Iead to the processing plant near stock piles of
excavated materials on -site and will provide ongoing access to agricultural operations that wil be
ongoing during the excavation process. At the conclusion of excavation activities, these roads,
which are proposed to isolate the three lakes, may be removed to create one large lake. The site
is accessed from Immokalee Road via Oil Well Grade Road extension.
The subject property, in addition to being zoned Agriculture, is within the Rural Land
Stewardship Area (RLSA) and is designated "open lands ". The RLSA allows the removal of
certain land use layers in exchange for Stewardship Credits; however, only base line zoning
standards are being employed for this petition. Earth mining is permitted as a conditional use
within both the Agricultural Zoning District and RLSA overlay zoning district.

Should this conditional use petition be approved, mining activities are proposed to be on -going
for eight to ten years. No long range uses, at the conclusion of proposed mining activities, are
proposed. Upon the completion of the mining activities, the site would exist as a single 740 acre
lake, which may be bisected by one or more roadways, including a series of hydrologically
connected pipes.
Subj
Prop
Rural and Agricultural Assessment Overlay Map
The project is located entirely within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) overlay district,
which is designated as "open lands ". The project will not impact areas identified as Flowway
Stewardship Area (FSA), Water Retention Area (WRA), areas of critical concern, or greenline
park system areas as shown on the map above. Faith mining is a permitted activity within the
Agricultural (A) Zoning District and RLSA Overlay District on Open Lands with a Natural
Resource Index (NRI) value of less than 1.2 subject to conditional use approval. (Please see
GMP Analysis below) The development proposal also complies with the criteria for an asphaltic
and concrete batch making plant in accordance with Section 4.02.02 of the LDC.
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
Subject Parcel: The site is presently an active farm operation with related uses such as
water management and drainage facilities; zoned Agricultural "A ".

GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) ANALYSTS:
Future Land Use Element (FLUE): The subject property has two land use designations:
Agricultural/Mixed Use District and Rural Land Stewardship Area (RLSA) according to the
Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). According to the
Agricultural /Mixed Use District of the FLUE, "Earth mining, oil extraction and related
processing" are permissible activities within these land use designations. The "Rural Land
Stewardship Area" (RLSA) of the FLUE also specifies under Policy 3.7 that,
"General Conditional Uses, Earth Mining and Processing Uses, and Recreational
Uses shall be allowed only on Habitat Sending Area lands with a Natural Resource
,Stewardship Index value of 1.2 or less. "
Because the property is located in that which is referred to as "Open Area" in the RLSA and has
a Natural Resource Stewardship Index value of less than 1.2, the proposed mining operation
would be an authorized use under the FLUE.
Policy 3.7 of the RLSA of the FLUE also states the following:
In addition to the requirements imposed in the LDC for approval of Conditional
Uses, such uses will only be approved upon submittal of an EIS (Environmental
Impact Statement) which demonstrates that clearing of native vegetation has been
— minimized the use will not significantly and adversely impact listed species and
their habitats, and the use will not significantly and adversely impact aquifers. As
an alternative to the foregoing, the applicant may demonstrate that such use is an
integral part of an approved restoration or mitigation program.
Comprehensive Planning defers to the Environmental Services Department for consistency
review of the Petitioner's response under this RLSA Policy.
Based on the above analysis, staff concludes the proposed Conditional Use may be deemed
consistent with the FLUE of the GMP.
Transportation Element
The project proposes 198 total two way peak PM hour trips associated with the Conditional Use.
This represents an 8.2% impact on Immokalee Road from Oil Well Road to Camp Keais Road
with a remaining PM Peak capacity of 423 trips. The project generates less than a 2% impact on
the secondary concurrency links. The following commitments were reached in cooperation with
the Developer.
The applicant shall provide a $1.00 payment -in -lieu of road maintenance for every
loaded vehicle which exits the site. The payment will be made quarterly.
Hogan Island Quarry, CV- 2006 -AR -10805 Page 5 of 14
Agenda Item No. 47D

• The applicant shall be fully responsible for designing, permitting, and constructing
both left and right turn lanes at the project entrance on Immokalee Road and both
east and west bound acceleration lanes on Immokalee Road per FDOT standards.
The applicant shall provide traffic monitoring reports every six months or
alternatively may install 2 permanent count stations per County standards.
The County will perform random annual intersection analysis at Everglades
Boulevard and Immokalee Road in the first three years and if at such time the site
generates trips that exceed 40 left turning movements, from Immokalee onto
Everglades Boulevard during the 3 -year period, then the applicant shall design,
permit, and construct a westbound to southbound left turn lane on Immokalee Road
to Everglades Boulevard.
• The County and applicant agree that any road plans (i.e., turn lanes, acceleration
lanes, and so forth) shown in the Conditional Use application are conceptual. Final
construction plans shall be submitted through the ROW permit process and be
subject to full review.
Based upon these findings, the Hogan Island Quarry conditional use application can be deemed
consistent with Policy 5.1 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan
[GMPj.
ANALYSIS:
Before any Conditional Use recommendation can be offered to the Board of Zoning Appeals, the
Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) must make findings that: 1) approval of the
Conditional Use will not adversely affect the public interest; and 2) all specific requirements for
the individual Conditional Use will be met; and 3) satisfactory provisions have been made
concerning the following matters, where applicable:
1. Consistency with the Land Development Code and the Growth Management Plan.
This project is consistent with Sections 2.04.03 (Permitted Uses Table) and 4.08.06 (RLSA
Zoning Overlay District), whereas an earth mine is a permitted use in the Rural Agricultural
and Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay Zoning Districts. As stated in the GMP analysis
of this report, the majority of the site is designated as "open lands" in the RLSA and thus will
not impact any areas identified as Flow -way Stewardship Areas (FSA's), Habitat
Stewardship Areas (HSA's) or Water Retention Areas (WRA's). In addition, the project is
compatible with surrounding existing uses subject to the attached conditions of approval.
Thus, the project can be found consistent with the LDC and GMP.
2. Ingress and egress to the property and proposed structures thereon, with particular
reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control,
and access in case of fire or catastrophe.
Hogan Island Quarry, CU- 2006 -AR -10805 Page 6 of 14
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2008
Page 22 of 157
Ingress and egress to the property is from Oil Well Grade Road which connects to
Imrnokalee Road. Since there are no residential subdivisions along this segment of Oil Well
Grade Road, the Transportation Department has determined that the proposed project will not
adversely impact automotive and pedestrian safety, traffic flow and control, and access in the
event of fire or catastrophe. The Traffic Impact Statement (TIS) also concludes that there is
sufficient capacity on Immokalee and Oil Well Grade Roads.
3. The effect the Conditional Use would have on neighboring properties in relation to
noise, glare, economic or odor effects.
Impact from noise, glare, economic, and odor effects are not anticipated on neighboring
properties. There are no neighboring residential properties within 1,000 feet of the subject
property. Properties that are adjacent to the subject property contain active agricultural citrus
and row crops, and are also owned by the applicant.
In regards to blasting activities proposed for this earth mining operation, the petitioner
proposed additional mitigation during the EAC meeting, to off -set the noise impacts. This
includes limiting the blasting activities between the hours of 10 am and 3 pm, Monday
through Friday. Blasting will also be limited to one blast per day, or an average of two to
three blasts per week. Please see the EAC Recommendation in this Staff Report for a
complete list of additional mitigation proposed by the applicant.
4. Compatibility with adjacent properties and other property in the district.
The subject property is deemed compatible with adjacent properties because the subject
property and surrounding properties are all zoned Rural Agricultural and are within a Rural
Lands Stewardship Overlay Zoning District which permits the existing and proposed uses.
Since the adjacent properties are also vacant or are actively being used for agricultural
purposes, staff is of the opinion that this excavation will not have a negative impact to
neighboring properties. In addition, as noted above, the petitioner offered additional
mitigation to off -set any anticipated impacts, which staff recommends the CCPC add to their
conditions of approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:
The project's effort to minimize impact to the environment would involve establishment of a
single on -site preserve adjacent to the eastern property boundary. Forty -four percent, or 12.77
acres, of existing native vegetation on site would be preserved, which exceeds the County's
corresponding 40% native vegetation preservation requirement. Listed animal species observed
on -site were wood storks, sand -hill cranes, and white ibis. Quarry reclamation activities would
include planting lake shorelines with a variety of native littoral zone species, which would
provide desirable habitats for listed wading bird foraging habitat and for alligators, thereby
offsetting impacts to habitats currently utilized by these species.
Hogan Island Quarry. CU- 2006 -AR -10805 Page 7 of 14
Agenda Itern No. 17D
July 22, 2008
Page 23 of 157
There are a total of five (non - jurisdictional) isolated wetlands within the boundaries of the
project site totaling 10.95 acres. The wetlands are identified as W -1 through W -5. These
wetlands would be eliminated, but would be substituted by off -site mitigation areas "OM -1" and
"OM -2 ". These two off-site areas total 32.47 acres and would contain 27.77 acres of wetlands.
The mitigation areas are proposed to be contiguous to the proposed on -site preserve, as well as
adjoin water retention areas (WRAs), habitat stewardship areas (HSAs), and flow -way
stewardship areas (FSAs). South Florida Water Management permits would be required for any
impacts to wetlands. Of the 967.65E acre project site, 94 percent is classified as uplands, five
percent as surface waters, and one percent as wetlands. The property is currently being used as
agricultural lands, and has been in agricultural production for decades. Other features of the site
include pasture and woodland areas, drainage ditches, farm roads and trails, and previously
cleared facility areas.
Other criterion (Subsection 4.02.02.B.3.a.vii) the project must meet is as follows:
• The project shall not be located within the greenline area of concern for the Florida State
Park System.
• The project shall not be located within an Area of Critical Concern as depicted on the
Future Land Use Map of the GMP;
• The project shall not be located within 1,000 feet of a natural reservation; and
• The project shall not be located within any County, State or Federal jurisdictional
wetland area.
The project complies with this criterion.
In addition, the Engineering and Environmental Services staff has reviewed this petition and
recommended the following conditions of approval:
1. Prior to issuance of an excavation permit, the applicant shall demonstrate compliance
with Policy 5.6. 3. £ If agency permits have not provided wetland mitigation
consistent with this policy, Collier County will require mitigation exceeding that of
the jurisdictional agencies prior to approval;
2. At the next development order, the wetland line shall be approved by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection and delineated on the site plan;
3. Restoration planting plan and conservation easement approval for on -site and off -site
preserves will be required prior to approval of the excavation permit or development
order prior. Recording of the conservation easement will be required within 90 days
of first development order approval; and
4. To be consistent with Subsection 4.08.05.J.3.a. i and ii of the Collier County Land
Development Code requiring that open space and vegetative buffers be established
between the wildlife habitat areas and the areas dominated by human activities, the
applicant shall obtain, and make the excavation permit construction drawings
consistent with the written Technical Assistance from US Fish and Wildlife Service
Hogan Island Quarry, CU- 2006 -AR -10805 Page 8 of 14
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2008
Page 24 of 157
and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission prior to issuance of the
excavation permit.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL (EAC) RECOMMENDATION:
On May 7, 2008, the EAC heard this request and by a vote of seven in favor and one opposed
voted to forward this petition with a recommendation of approval subject to staff stipulations
above as well as the following:
1. Eliminating the following use: Asphaltic and concrete batch making plant
2. Adding the following stipulation: Littoral shelves for wading birds shall be constructed
around areas designated "OM -1" and "OM -2 in addition to those shown on the site plan
and described in the "voluntary commitments" below of which the applicant has agreed.
During the meeting, the EAC expressed the following concerns and recommended that they be
presented to the CCPC and BCC to consider, and for the applicant to address these issues with
the appropriate permitting agencies:
• Effects of truck traffic generated by the proposed use: The effects of truck traffic
are addressed in the TIS, and Transportation Department's stipulations of
approval. Please see Recommendations page, stipulations 11 through 15;
• Effects of a 24 hour operation related to lighting and noise on existing or future
proposed adjacent uses: The applicant proposes to provide a lighting and noise
abatement/control plan. Please see "Voluntary Commitments" below, which will
be reconsidered by the EAC prior to the issuance of the Excavation Permit;
• Increasing buffer widths to 300 feet around perimeter of the pits adjacent to areas
designated as HSAs: The applicant feels this is not necessary or appropriate at
this time. The applicant states that the LDC does not specify a buffer wddth, and
that the buffer designed to date has been designed to address the Jurisdictional
Agency's specific concerns, and that the Agency's initial request for a 300 -foot
buffer has been withdrawn with a commitment that the agency and petitioner
would come up with an acceptable buffer as part of the consultation process;
• Requirement for funding of future construction of wildlife crossings: The
applicant states they are agreeable to funding their fair share of the cost of a
wildlife crossing, based upon a percentage of overall trips on Immokalee Road
(given the estimated one million dollar cost of the wildlife underpass). They state
it is not likely that a wildlife crossing will be constructed for a number of years.
Therefore, as an alternative, they offer the same amount towards installation of
two yellow caution lights (notifying drivers of panther crossing and to use caution
and reduce speed) located east and west of the slough/strand and relating to
signage, in the event the County elects to reduce the speed limit within the wildlife
crossing corridor.
Also, during the EAC meeting, the petitioner offered additional mitigation measures as noted
below. Because these additional proposed mitigation measures were not presented until the date
Hogan Island Quany, CU- 2006 -AR -10805 Page 9 of 14
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2008
Page 25 of 157
of the EAC meeting, County staff did not have an opportunity to review these conditions. As a
result, the EAC recommended that the foregoing conditions be added as "Voluntary
Commitments ". These conditions will be evaluated in full prior to the approval and issuance of
an excavation permit and may be considered as mandatory at that time:
1. Each well within the excavation area will be plugged pursuant to state
regulations below the excavation level prior to excavation in the immediate
area;
2. There will he no dewatering for excavation purposes;
Excavation depths will not exceed 40 feet or the uppermost level of the
confining layer, whichever is less;
4. No explosive charges which contain diesel fuel will be used, therefore no
benzene in explosives product;
5. Blasting activities will occur between loam and 3pm, Monday through
Friday. Blasting will be limited to one blast per day, or an average of two to
three blasts per week. Blasting after 3pm (but no later than 5pm) shall be
permitted only if blasting during regular hours is prevented or interrupted by
adverse weather conditions;
6. The dust control plan attached hereto will be implemented during the term of
the mining operations;
The eastern most boundary of the eastern excavation cell shall have a 350 foot
setback from the adjacent HSA, and the easternmost boundary of the
northeastern cell shall have a 145 foot setback from the adjacent HSA;
8. The petitioner will provide 15 acres of littoral shelf with littoral plantings.
PUBLIC UTILITIES ANALYSIS:
Currently the subject property is not located within the Collier County Water and Sewer District,
and is not part of any other existing Utilities District. According to the 2005 Water Master Plan
Update, Public Utilities is acquiring well sites and raw water pipeline easements in targeted areas
as part of the land use decision approval process, including final development orders. These
targeted areas are generally described as east of 1 -75, where the existing Collier County
wellfields are located. The majority of Collier County wellfield locations are not within the
Collier County Water and Sewer District and this project location is in an area where additional
public water wells are desirable.
Collier County Public Utilities is presently working on the design and construction of a budgeted
capital project for the future North East Regional Water Treatment Plant (NERWTP) located in
the Orangetree Utility service area. Per the 2005 Water Master Plan Update this project is
Hogan Island Quarry, CU- 2006 -AR -10805 Page 10 of 14
Agenda Item No, 17D
July 22, 2008
Page 26 of 157
anticipated to be building out and to be in service by 2012. The NERWTP is located
approximately six miles from this application project,
The Public Utilities Department initiated, in June 2003, a well field program consisting of a
large - scale, multi -year engineering and hydrogeological project set to develop all water supply
wellfields. The current Wellfield Reliability and Expansion Program Plan show that this project
site is located within the targeted future wellfield area for the NERWTP Phase 1B Expansion.
It is, therefore, recommended that this project be approved subject to the following condition:
Prior to the issuance of an excavation permit, the applicant shall provide four well
site easements. The four well site easements consisting of three well sites of 100
feet x 100 feet each and one well site of 150 feet x 150 feet on the property. The
necessary utility easements for access and underground pipeline /power /telemetry
and appurtenances from the well sites to the public right of way on Immokalee
Road shall also be provided. The utility /access easement should be 20 feet wide
unless it is contiguous to a public right-of-way.
NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING:
Synopsis provided by Linda Bedtelyon, Community Planning Coordinator:
The meeting was held on February 13, 2008 at 5:30 p.m. at the Collier County Agricultural
Extension Office. Fifteen persons attended the meeting including two residents, the developer's
agent (Bob Mulhere, Planning Director and others with RWA Consultants Inc.), and County staff
(Willie Brown and Linda Bedtelyon with Zoning and Land Development Review). Mr. Bob
Mulhere presented the project and summarized the following points:
• Site is zoned Rural Agricultural;
• Three earth mine lakes are proposed totaling 740 acres of maximum excavation area;
• The subject property consists of 968 acres of land;
• Activities would include the removal of 3.8 million tons of rock annually;
• Approximatelyl,200 round truck trips per day are forecast (worst case scenario);

and is within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay District. Earthmining is identified both
within the FLUE and the LDC as a conditional use (formerly LDC CU number 1.) in the
Agricultural Rural FLUE designation as well as the A — Agricultural LDC zoning district. The
LDC specifically reads as follows: "Extraction or earthmining, and related processing and
production not incidental to the agricultural development of the property. The A zoning district
also identifies asphaltic and concrete batch making plants (formerly identified as CU number 22),
subject to 10 specific conditions The applicant desires to receive approval for both of these uses
on the subiect site
The Property that will be mined is not within an FSA HSA, WRA, or FSA, but rather is within an
"men" area as identified in the RLSA Overlay Maw The project is consistent with Obiective 5.1
of the CCME in that it will comply with applicable standards regarding health, safety and
environmental protection The project is also an appropriate use of natural resources pursuant to
Goal 1 of the CCME The project consistent with Obiective 6.2 and Policy 6.2.8 of the CCME and
Section 4.08.08.E.2 of the LDC in that the isolated wetlands on the site are being preserved, and
an appropriate buffer will be provided pursuant to Section 4.08.08H.7 of the LDC.

Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2008
Page 45 of 157
The proiect will be consistent with the RLSA environmental regulations by its adherence to Policy
5.5 of the RLSA, and the proposed use is consistent with Section 4.08.08.0 of the LDC
Consistency with the Transportation Element: The proposed Earthmining operation proposes
the removal of 3.8 million tons of rock and overburden material per year. Operations are proiected
to last for the life of the mining operation but this will ultimately depends upon market conditions
Presently market conditions are favorable for maximum utilization thus reduce the antich3ated life
expectancy of the operation should these market conditions Persist. Based unon 3.8 million tons of
off -site removal per year, 172,727 truck trips per year will be generated. This translates to 557 truck
trips per 12 hour day 46 truck trips per hour. Weekday Peak hour trips are proiected as follows: AM
Peak Hour: 92 total trips. PM Peak Hour: 92 trips The Traffic impact statement submitted with this
conditional use also includes employee and vendor /visitor generated traffic in the analysis Based
on the ITE Trip Generation Manual, the 92 Peak Hour truck trips (AM and PM) are the equivalent
of 156 peak hour (AM and PM) passenger car trips Under this equivalency, the total AM Peak
hour trips (stated as passenger car equivalency) is 164 trips and the total PM peak hour triiRs is 184
trips. Access to the site is via hmmokalee Road and then an easement (the northern extension of Oil
Well Grade Road). The TIS concludes that, given exiting conditions and planned improvements
sufficient capacity exists on Immokalee Road and Oil Well Grade Road and that the intersection
will operate safely and with sufficient capacity with the proposed use Turn lanes to serve the
proiect will be required. Based upon the findings of the TIS the proposed conditional use(s) are
consistent with the applicable Goals Polices and objectives of the Transportation Element of the
GMP, particularly Policy 5. 1, as it relates to concurrence
Conclusion: The proposed earthmining and batch Plant conditional use request is consistent with
the applicable GNP goals, obiectives and policies further the site development plan review will
provide greater construction level detail, demonstrating compliance with the applicable GMP and
LDC requirements.
b. Describe the existing or planned means of ingress and egress to the property and proposed structure
thereon with particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow
and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe:
The subiect site is located approximately one mile north of Immokalee Road and will be accessed
from Immokalee Road via a private easement (located immediately north of the intersection of Oil
Well Grade Road and Immokalee Road). East bound and westbound turn lanes will be constructed

to serve the project The length of said turn lanes will be determined by the Transportation Services
Division No other intersection or ROW improvements are necessary based upon the projects trip
generation
c. Describe the effect the conditional use will have on neighboring properties in relation to noise,
glare, economic impact and odor:
The subiect property is isolated in that there are no habitable lands uses located within more than
one mile in any direction. As a result, there will be no negative effects associated with noise,
economic impact or odor on adiacent properties. Additionally, the majority of the adjacent lands
are owned by the same landowner or by affiliated companies.
d. Describe the site's and the proposed use's compatibility with adjacent properties and other
properties in the district:
Again the site is located in rural Collier County, +/- one mile north of Immokalee Road. The
subject property as well as surrounding lands are utilized for row crop farming, water management
and retention other farming operations, or have been retained in their natural condition. There are
no habitable structures in close proximity to the proposed mining operation. Given the sites
location it is unlikely that any location could be more appropriate for this type of use.
e. Please provide any additional information which you may feel is relevant to this request.
Given the County's aggressive Road building program, the private sector need for aggregate
materials and the significant amount of development to occur in the eastern part of Collier County,
the location of this mining operation is optimal. The most significant variable cost associated with
obtaining fill materials, particularly given raising fuel cost, is the distance of hauling such
materials. This operation will provide high quality materials, including FDOT grade, within Collier
County, and will minimize the hauling distance to deliver such material to both private
development and planned public sector improvements. Thereby reducing the costs significantly
when compared to bringing such materials in from outside of Collier County. Additionally, there
are relatively few locations than can yield appropriate materials that are not located within a
Conservation Sending or other area that prohibits earthmining as a use.
Deed Restrictions: The County is legally precluded from enforcing deed restrictions, however, many
communities have adopted such restrictions. You may wish to contact the civic or property owners
association in the area for which this use is being requested in order to ascertain whether or not the
request is affected by existing deed restrictions.

IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The petitioners are requesting conditional use of an "earth- mining" operation and related
processing of materials in a Rural Agricultural (A) — Mobile Home Overlay (A -MHO) Zoning
District as specified pursuant to Section 10.08.00 of the Collier County Land Development Code
(LDC) on approximately 967.65± acres for a project to be known as the Hogan Island Quarry.
The Conditional Use seeks approval of a limestone and sand quarry (mine) on 967 acres to
allow the following:
600 to 700 acre maximum excavation area;
Aggregate processing plant
System of internal roadways
12.77 -acre on -site preserve
• 0 -acres of wetland
Page 1 of 13
Agenda Item No. 17D

Page 67 of 157
Mining activities will involve excavating overburden and underlying limestone deposits through
the creation of various cell pits. Two or three cell pits may be built at a time. As new cells are
built, old cells are excavated to remove remaining underlying limestone. Blasting will likely be
necessary as part of the mining operation, which would occur 6 to 8 feet below ground, but
would only be conducted during day light hours. Actual mining activities, however, would be
implemented twenty -four hours a day.
The aggregate processing plant, consisting of crushers and conveyors, would involve the
processing of excavated materials. Stock piles of raw and processed product (limestone
aggregate, sand) would be stored here. The plant would operate 12 to 16 hours per day. The
office /asphalt plant would contain a small office building, maintenance shop /storage facility(s),
parking areas, above ground fuel and oil storage tanks, as well as the asphalt batch plant.
A system of haul roads would be built within the mining area around and throughout the various
cell pits. These roads would lead to the processing plant near stock piles of excavated
materials on -site.
V. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) ANALYSIS:
Future Land Use Element: The subject property has two land use designations:
Agricultural /Mixed Use District and Rural Land Stewardship Area (RLSA) according to the
Future land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP). According to the
Agricultural /Mixed Use District of the FLUE, "[Ejarthmining, oil extraction and related
processing" are permissible activities within these land use designations. The "Rural Land
Stewardship Area" (RLSA) of the FLUE also specifies under Policy 3.7 that,
"General Conditional Uses, Earth Mining and Processing Uses, and Recreational
Uses shall be allowed only on Habitat Sending Area lands with a Natural Resource
Stewardship Index value of 1.2 or less."
Because the property is located in that which is referred to as "Open Area" in the RLSA and has
a Natural Resource Stewardship Index value of less than 1.2, the proposed mining operation
would be an authorized use under the FLUE.
Policy 3.7 of the RLSA of the FLUE also states the following:
In addition to the requirements imposed in the LDC for approval of Conditional
Uses, such uses will only be approved upon submittal of an EIS (Environmental
Impact Statement) which demonstrates that clearing of native vegetation has been
minimized, the use will not significantly and adversely impact listed species and
their habitats, and the use will not significantly and adversely impact aquifers. As
an alternative to the foregoing, the applicant may demonstrate that such use is an
integral part of an approved restoration or mitigation program.
Comprehensive Planning defers to the Environmental Services Department for consistency
review of the Petitioner's response under this RLSA Policy.
Based upon the above analysis, staff concludes the proposed Conditional Use may be deemed
consistent with the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Growth Management Plan (GMP).
B. Conservation & Coastal Management Element

Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22 2008
Page 68 of 157
Policy 1.3.2: The RLSA District contains policies to direct incompatible land uses away from
FSAs, HSAs, and WRAs in order to protect wetlands, upland habitats, and listed species within
the RLSA.
The project lands are located entirely within the RLSA overlay. All the proposed development
activities will occur in areas designated as "open lands ". The excavation and eventual
reclamation activities associated with the mine are considered compatible uses within this
designation. A portion of an HSA overlay extends into the property, occupying approximately 2.7
acres in the eastern portion of the site. This HSA will be preserved within the project's on -site
preserve area and protected by a permanent conservation easement. The project's off -site
mitigation for on -site wetland impacts includes preservation and restoration off -site in areas
primarily classified as HSA. The applicant asserts that the operational guidelines, preservation
areas, and habitat and species management plans provided will minimize off -site impacts and
will not negatively impact any areas identified as Flowway Stewardship Area (FSA), Habitat
Stewardship Area (HSA), or Water Retention Area (WRA) overlays.
Objective 2.2: States that "All canals, rivers, and flow ways discharging into estuaries shall
meet all applicable federal, state, or local water quality standards."
To accomplish that, policy 2.2.2 states "In order to limit the specific and cumulative impacts of
stormwater runoff, stormwater systems should be designed in such a way that discharged water
does not degrade receiving waters and an attempt is made to enhance the timing, quantity, and
quality of fresh water (discharge) to the estuarine system.
This project is consistent with the objectives of policy 2.2.2 because the only substantial
pollution danger from silt and erosion will be retained on -site by berming. The fill piles will be
screened and otherwise protected for erosion control, and the site will be protected from fluid
spills from fill trucks and construction vehicles by berming and screening
Policy 2.2.3: The applicant will attempt to use appropriate biological and mechanical control
methods to eradicate and suppress the spread of aquatic weeds in the project's lakes. It is likely
chemical spraying will still be necessary to control aquatic weeds in some instances. Any such
spraying will be conducted by or under the direct supervision of a duly licensed pesticide
applicator in accordance with EPA guidelines and the chemical manufacturer's labeling
instructions.
GOAL 3: The applicant states that due to the proposed method of excavation (wet mining),
groundwater resources will not be affected by this project. According to the applicant the project
site is not located in an area where quarry excavation activities might pose the threat of
potential saltwater intrusion. Most of the property is currently used to produce small vegetable
crops and as such requires irrigation. The supplemental irrigation is supplied by groundwater
resources via wells. The applicant states that the proposed project will require less water use
than that demanded by the existing crop fields.
GOAL 4: According to the applicant, the proposed project will have no net negative effect on the
County's fresh water resources.
Objective 5.1: The project involves the extraction and use of mineral resources. All project
activities and operations will comply with applicable industry and government
standards /requirements pertaining to health, safety, and environmental protection.
Policy 5.1.3 -- Mineral extraction operations shall comply with standards and criteria as
provided in the County's Excavation and Blasting Ordinances.
Page 3 of 13
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2008
Page 69 of 157
The proposed mining operations will comply with applicable standards and criteria set forth it
the cited ordinances. The applicant will apply for and obtain the necessary County permits,
including an excavation permit, required by these ordinances.
Objective 5.2: The proposed quarry will be reclaimed in accordance with requirements set forth
in Chapter 62C -36, Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) requires a mine reclamation plan to be submitted to FDEP for
their review and approval prior to the initiation of mining activities. FDEP will review the
proposed reclamation plan concurrently with their review of the project's Environmental
Resource Permit application. Mine reclamation will be conducted in accordance with specific
requirements FDEP places on the reclamation plan.
Policy 6.1.3: The proposed project preserves existing native vegetation on the property in
accordance with the minimum standards specified in Policy 5.5.2.a.iii of the RLSA Overlay
portion of the FLUE. This policy requires at least 40% of the existing native vegetation to be
retained. The proposed on -site preserve will protect and preserve 44% (11.90 acres) of the
existing native vegetation areas currently present on the property. An additional 0.87 acres
within this preserve currently does not meet the definition of native vegetation.
Policy 6.1.4: Prohibited exotic vegetation removal will be required from the entire project
boundary in accordance with LDC Section 3.05.08.
Policy 6.1.7 (4): The project's stormwater management system has been designed to comply
with applicable RLSA policies. Following completion of a particular quarry pit lake, shorelines
will be stabilized in accordance with the applicable design specifications set forth in the
reclamation requirements specified in Chapter 62C -36, FAC. Specifics of the treatment of pit
lake shorelines will be determined during the Environmental Resource Permit application
process since the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) will review the mine
plan /reclamation plan concurrently with the project's Environmental Resource Permit (ERP)
application.
Policy 6.1.8: The Environmental Impact Statement document has been provided for the
proposed project.
Policy 6.2.8: Although the proposed project will impact wetlands on the property, these impacts
will be mitigated off -site consistent with GMP Future Land Use Element (FLUE) D RLSA Policy
5.6 3 f.
Policy 6.2.1: Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) will be the agency
responsible for processing the project's Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) application and
will verify the wetland lines delineated by the environmental consultant during the ERP review
process.
Objective 7.1: All the proposed development activities will occur in areas that are designated as
"open lands" in the RLSA Overlay. The only HSA with the project boundary will be preserved
on -site and HSAs in the OM Areas will be preserved and restored. No evidence of listed animal
species residing or nesting on the property other than alligators has been found. However, the
site is classified as both Primary Zone and Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation area.
Policy 7.1.3: The EIS includes a draft listed species management plan to be finalized prior to
approval of the excavation permit for this site. This plan is intended to provide protection during
Page 4 of 13
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22. 2008
Page 70 of 157
project construction and mining activities (see Appendix C of the EIS document). This plan
addresses the listed species (wading birds, alligators, sandhill cranes) documented on the
project site as well as some additional listed wading birds that may utilize the property for
nesting, and /or foraging. In addition, the plan also addresses those listed species that are
known to inhabit areas nearby or adjacent to the property (black bear, crested caracara, and
burrowing owls) Mitigation for impacts and the management plan for Florida panther will be
required as part of the excavation permit review.
Policy 7.1.4: Development of the proposed project will require an Environmental Resource
Permit (ERP) from Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and a Section 404
permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE). Coordination with the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission ( FFWCC) concerning state listed species will occur during
the Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) permitting process while coordination with the US
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concerning federal listed species will occur during the
USACE permitting process. Correspondence between staff and FFWCC is included in the EIS
as Exhibit 8. The applicant will comply with the specific listed species protection and habitat
management required by the Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) and USACE permits.
GOAL 11: According to The State Historic Preservation Officer there are no archaeological or
historical sites or artifacts on the project site. If, during the course of site development and
mining activities, an archaeological or historical artifact, or other indicator is discovered,
development/mining activities at that specific site shall be immediately stopped and the
appropriate agency notified. Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to
enable the County or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper
course of action.
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
D. RURAL LANDS STEWARDSHIP AREA OVERLAY
Policy 5.5.1: A survey for listed plant and animal species as well as for other wildlife species
was conducted and is discussed in Appendix B of the EIS document. According to the listed
species survey, the only listed species observed were wading birds including little blue heron,
snowy egret, tricolored heron, and wood stork, alligators, and Florida sandhill cranes.
A specific - purpose survey for crested caracaras and their nests was later performed and the
only listed species observed on the property during this survey were wood storks, sandhill
cranes, and white ibis.
Policy 5.5.2: As required, management plans for the listed species observed during wildlife
survey are provided in Appendix C of the EIS. The management plans also contains information
related to black bears, crested caracaras, and burrowing owls. An eastern indigo snake
management plan has also been provided.
Policy 5.5.2.a.iii: A minimum of 40% of native vegetation in open lands must be preserved.
This project meets that requirement with the proposed on -site preserve encompassing 11.90
acres or 44% of the total acreage of native vegetation on-site-
Policy 5.5.2.g: The proposed project is located on lands classified as both Primary Zone and
Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation areas. According to the applicant it is likely US
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will require a Section 7 consultation for the project during
the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) permitting process; primarily to address mitigation of
the project's impacts to Primary and Secondary Zone lands. Any necessary panther
Page 5 of 13
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2008
Page 71 of 157
management or mitigation will be determined during the consultation process. Acceptance of
required mitigation for panther impacts will be confirmed and management plans included in
construction drawings prior to issuance of the excavation permit.
Policy 5.6: The proposed project will impact a total of 10.95 acres of isolated wetlands on the
property. None of the affected wetlands are located in an FSA, HSA, or WRA and the project is
not located within the ACSC.
Policy 5.6.3.b: A Uniform Wetland Assessment Method (UMAM) scores for the wetlands to be
impacted and for the wetlands in the off -site mitigation areas is included in the EIS. This
assessment has not yet been accepted by FDEP. The UMAM will be presented to the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
reviewers as part of the Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) permitting and any modifications
to these score will be presented to the County as part of the project permitting, prior to issuance
of the excavation permit.
Policy 5.6.3.e: There will be no wetlands preserved on the property. The proposed project will
provide buffers between the on -site limits of development features and off -site wetlands. These
buffers or setbacks are at least 50 feet wide (distance from limits of construction /development to
wetland limits).
Policy 5.6.3.f.• An off -site mitigation program is required to compensate for the project's wetland
impacts. The mitigation program will take place in the areas designated as off -site mitigation
areas OM -1 and OM -2 that total 32.47 acres, 26.23 acres of which are existing wetlands.
Wetland restoration and creation activities as well as upland exotic removal activities in the OM
Areas will expand the extent of existing wetlands to 27.77 acres and are designed improve the
wetland functions.
VI. MAJOR ISSUES
A. Stormwater Manaaement
As with all ongoing excavations, stormwater management in the traditional sense is not an issue
with this project. The excavation sits within six contiguous Sections of Agriculturally zoned land
and will encompass approximately 967.65 acres. Much of the site is already under Surface
Water Management Permitll- 00113 -S as Hogan Island Farms. The permit will have to be
modified for the excavation.
Unless they are dewatering offsite, mining operations are not a source of water quantity
concern. They generally dewater into other existing excavations within their own site, if at all.
Mines of this size that sort aggregates must be permitted by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection.
The only water quality concerns will be from construction vehicle fluid leaks, dust, and sediment
transport; which are standard concerns for all construction projects and all of which will be
controlled at the site.
The petitioner states that the depths of the excavations will be in the range of 35 to 45 ft
Page 6 of 13
Igenda Item No. 17D
July 22 2008
Page 72 of 157
The site sits in an area identified in the Collier County Drainage Atlas as the Fakahatchee
Strand Basin or the Corkscrew Slough Basin, although the topography indicates that the
western portion of the site probably drained historically to the west toward the Cocohatchee
River basin, so the site seems to straddle the basin boundaries.
B. Environmental
1. Site Description
Site visits by County staff have confirmed that the Hogan Island Quarry property mainly consists
of actively managed row crop fields and to a lesser degree cattle pastures. The project
proposes to develop a limestone and sand quarry along with related facilities on the 968 -acre.
The area to be mined is shown on Exhibit 6, of the EIS document, as the "maximum excavation
area" (approximately 740 acres). Mining will involve excavating overburden and the underlying
limestone deposits using typical equipment such as draglines, drill rigs, excavators, front -end
loaders, and dump trucks. The total depth of excavation will generally range from 35 to 45 feet
below the existing grade.
A system of haul roads will be built within the mining area around and among the various cells
(pits), from crushed limestone obtained on -site. These roads will extend to the processing
facilities proposed at the southern end of the property where the excavated materials will be
stockpiled and processed on -site. There will typically be two cells being excavated
simultaneously and applicant proposes that the actual excavation process may be conducted 24
hours per day. Modifications to this work schedule may result from discussions with Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) and FWS. Shorter hours of operation may be
necessary along the eastern boundary to minimize potential impacts to large ranging mammals
such as panthers and black bears. This will be finalized pending further discussions with agency
personnel as part of the state and federal permitting for this project. Final operating hour
limitations will be made part of the County's excavation permit approval.
The quarry (mine) pit cells will be excavated "in the wet" rather than dewatering an entire
individual pit. Some blasting will occur roughly 3 times per week initially to open a given cell and
may be reduced. The blasting would be conducted 6 to 8 feet below ground and only in daylight
hours (about 10 AM to 3 PM, possibly later if there are storm delays), and will comply with the
County's blasting ordinance (i.e. Chapter 55 of the County Code).
The far south end of the property will contain various facilities and a tailings pond. An aggregate
processing plant (crushers, conveyors, etc.) will be built in the area as "product stockpile
location ". This portion of development will require a Site Development Plan with review and
approval by all relevant staff. This area will encompass the plant for processing the excavated
materials and stockpiles of the raw and processed product (limestone aggregate, sand). The
aggregate processing plant will operate roughly 12 to 16 hours per day. The "office /asphalt plant
location" area will contain a small office building, small maintenance shop /storage facilities,
parking areas, aboveground fuel and oil storage tanks with proper containments, and an asphalt
batch plant. The asphalt batch plant will obtain its necessary aggregate materials directly from
the on -site aggregate processing plant.
A stormwater containment berm will be constructed around the outer perimeter of "developed"
portions of the project. The crest of this earthen berm, stabilized with grass, will be built to an
elevation such that the berm will contain all storm events up to and including the 25 -year event.
Page 7 of 13
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2008
Page 73 of 157
Thus, all runoff from the mining area and the southern facilities area will be contained on -site
and will either percolate through the soil or flow to the quarry pit lakes or tailings pond.
Stormwater will discharge offsite via outfall control structures in the quarry pit lakes only after
the lake waters (stormwater) have received appropriate treatment and attenuation (i.e.
treatment and attenuation that satisfies water quality and water quantity design standards
specified in Sections 5.0 and 6.0 of SFWMD's Basis of Review).
Mining activities will progress over time with new cells started as each preceding one is
completed. It is presently estimated that there will ultimately be one large lake created at the
completion of mining and that this lake may be transected by one or two causeways. The lake
will occupy a total of about 600 to 700 acres; however these are preliminary estimates only.
Final completion of mining activities is estimated to occur within 8 to 10 years after project
construction is initiated.
2. Wetlands
Within the property there are 5 wetland areas totaling 10.95 acres. These on -site wetlands are
identified as wetlands W -1 through W -5 in the EIS document. All of the wetland areas are
proposed to be impacted by the project and are depicted on Exhibits 2 and 3 of the EIS
document.
Two off -site mitigation areas, shown as OM -1 and OM -2 in Exhibit 6 of the EIS document, will
be preserved and protected as part of the mitigation requirement contained in the FLUE - D
RLSA Policy 5.6 3 f. Wetland enhancement, restoration, and creation activities coupled with
enhancement of existing uplands will take place in the off -site mitigation areas. The two
proposed mitigation areas total 32.47 acres and will contain a total of approximately 27.77 of
wetlands following completion of mitigation efforts.
3. Preservation Requirements
The project includes establishment of a single on -site preserve adjacent to the eastern property
boundary. The proposed preserve area is 12.77 acres and it is shown in Exhibits 6, 7, and 9 of
the EIS document.
There is a total of 27.33 acres in the project boundary that meet the definition of native
vegetation. These areas, occupying less than 3% of the total site, are illustrated in Exhibits 3
and 7 of the EIS document.
Native vegetation preservation requirements applicable to the property are addressed in Policy
6.1.3 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) of the County's Growth
Management Plan (GMP) and in Policy 5.5.2.a.iii of Section D of the Future Land Use Element
(FLUE) of the GMP. These requirements are echoed in Section 4.08.05.J.2 of the County's
Land Development Code (LDC), which indicates that if listed species are observed on the
project site then a minimum of 40% of the native vegetation on site must be retained.
The proposed on -site Preserve will protect a total of 11.90 acres of the existing vegetation
present on the property and 0.87 acres will be restored within the preserve boundary bringing
the onsite preserve acreage to 12.77 acres.
The on -site Preserve will be protected by requiring a conservation easement pursuant to LDC
3.05.07.H.1.d (i.e. in a conservation easement dedicated to the County) prior to excavation
Page 8 of 13
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2003
Page 74 of 157
permit approval. Category 1 invasive exotic vegetation identified in the Florida Exotic Pest Plant
Council's (EPPC) "List of Invasive Species" will be eradicated and controlled throughout the
Preserve, in accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.g.ii. Following completion of the initial exotic
eradication efforts, native upland trees, shrubs, and ground cover species will be planted as
necessary within the Preserve areas that do not presently constitute native vegetation habitats
to restore these areas, totaling 0.87 acres. The replanting plan will be reviewed and approved
by County staff as part of the excavation permit approval and issuance.
The two off -site mitigation areas (OM -1 and OM -2), which encompass an area of 32.47 acres,
will provide the required mitigation for the proposed impacts to State jurisdictional wetlands.
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) accepted Uniform Wetland Assessment
Method (UMAM) scores shall be provided prior to the Excavation Permit issuance.
A portion of HSA overlay extends onto the property and encompasses approximately 2.70
acres. It is located near the eastern property boundary and can be seen in Exhibits 10 and 11 of
the EIS document. The proposed on -site Preserve protects this entire HSA zone, which is
situated in the northeast portion of the future Preserve.
4. Listed Species
The listed species survey and its results are discussed in Section 3 of Appendix B of the EIS
document and Exhibit 14 of the EIS shows the approximate locations of listed animal species
observation on and near the project boundary during the course of the referenced survey.
The listed species observed on —site included American alligator, little blue heron, snowy egret,
tricolored heron, wood stork, and Florida sandhill crane. No listed plant species were found on
the project lands.
Collier County Environmental Services review staff have been on the project site twice and
during site visits listed species were observed including Florida sandhill crane; wood stork;
American alligator and little blue heron.
The GMP does not require specific buffers to FSA or HSA areas. Section 4.08.05 J 3 a i and ii
of the Collier County Land Development code (LDC) requires that open space and vegetative
buffers be established between the wildlife habitat areas and the areas dominated by human
activities. In April of 2007, a meeting between Collier County Environmental Services Review
staff, a Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council (RPC) biologist and Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) biologists was held at the request of the FWC staff.
The topic of the meeting was to ensure adequate protection and compliance with both State and
GMP requirements for listed species, especially large mammal, protection. A major area of
concern was potential impacts to Corkscrew swamp to the north and northeast of the project
site. To adequately protect the large mammals ranging in this area, buffers of 300 feet along
northeast portion close to Corkscrew and reduced to100 ft. elsewhere were recommended by all
agency biologists in attendance. County staff incorporated these buffers and other comments
as technical assistance from FWC and RPC. Since that time, FWC staff has issued a letter
stating that consultation is ongoing and has not been finalized. Staff has requested the
applicant propose a minimum buffer at this time, however, none has been proposed. No
fencing, walls or other obstructions are proposed as required in the LDC section 4.08.05 J 3 ii.
County staff will require management plans, permits and agency acceptance for any required
mitigation to be provided prior to approval of the excavation permit.

Primary Zone and Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation overlays encompass the
property as discussed in Appendix B of the EIS document and illustrated in Exhibit 13 of the
EIS. The project activities will impact panther habitat conservation zones. The US Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) may require mitigation for the proposed impacts. A Section 404
permit will be required from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to conduct the mitigation
activities proposed in the project's off -site mitigation areas. Applying for this permit will most
likely include engaging in the Section 7 consultation process with the USFWS. The necessary
mitigation for the project's impacts to panther habitats and the specifics of the mitigation will be
determined as part of the consultation with USFWS. Proof of consultation and acceptance of
proposed mitigation by the USFWS must be provided to County staff prior to excavation permit
approval.

B. MAPPING AND SUPPORT GRAPHICS
General location map.
A general location map is provided as Exhibit 1. The proposed quarry (mine) project itself is referred to as
the Hogan Island Quarry and will encompass approximately 967.65 acres situated in portions of Sections 9,
10, 15, 16, 21, and 22, Township 47 South, Range 28 East, Collier County, Florida. The Hogan Island
Quarry is located southwest of Immokalee and its southern boundary is about 3/4 mile north of the
intersection of Immokalee Road and Oil Well Grade Road.
Part of the Hogan Island Quarry project will include conducting mitigation activities on lands adjacent to the
quarry site. Two off -site mitigation areas, designated as off -site mitigation areas OM -1 and OM -2, are
currently proposed. These two areas together encompass approximately 32.5 acres and are situated
adjacent to the eastern boundary of the proposed quarry. This EIS frequently refers to lands within the
Hogan Island Quarry property boundary as the "Quarry property" or "Quarry site" while lands within the
boundaries of the two off -site mitigation areas are referred to as the "OM Areas" or "off -site mitigation
areas ". Taken together, the lands contained within the Hogan Island Quarry property boundary and those
contained within the boundaries of the off -site mitigation areas are typically referred to herein as the "project
lands ".
ii. Native habitats and their boundaries shall be identified on an aerial photograph of the site extending
at least two hundred (200) feet outside the parcel boundary. This does not mean the applicant is
required to go on to adjacent properties. Habitat identification will be consistent with the Florida
Department of Transportation Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS)
and shall be depicted on an aerial photograph having a scale of one inch equal to at least 200 feet
when available from the County. Other scale aerials may be used where appropriate for the size of
the project, provided the photograph and overlays are legible at the scale provided. A legend for
each of the FLUCFCS categories found on -site shall be included on the aerial.
Existing FLUCFCS categories mapped on and adjacent to the project lands are illustrated in Exhibits 2 and
3. Areas classifying as "native vegetation" are shown on Exhibit 3.
iii. Topographic map, and existing drainage patterns if applicable. Where possible, elevations within
each of the FLUCFCS categories found on -site shall be provided.
Exhibit 4 illustrates existing topography and general surface water drainage patterns
The majority of the Quarry property consists of actively managed row crop fields, some of which continue
beyond the property boundary. These crop fields have been graded to drain into internal field ditches and /or
into perimeter rim ditches surrounding groups of fields. The larger groups of crop fields are bordered by
large perimeter containment berms. Because of these perimeter berms, no runoff naturally drains from the
crop fields to non -field areas. The field rim ditches are located on the field side of the perimeter berms.
The water table (water levels) within the crop fields is strictly managed and controlled. Throwout pumps at
various locations (see Exhibit 4) are one of the primary means of regulating field water levels.
Some of these pumps discharge into the internal ditches and rim ditches. Several discharge into non -field
upland and wetland areas off -site. One primary discharge location of note is an off -site agricultural water
retention area (the area mapped as wetland WO -6 in Exhibits 2 and 4). This large water retention area is
surrounded by a perimeter containment berm, but can discharge into off -site wetlands and uplands to the
northwest once the water level in the retention area is sufficiently high. The on -site throwout pumps can be
used to transfer water from one field to another, to de-water the fields (lower the water table), and to flood
the fields for nematode control. Some throwout pump locations are essentially permanent while other
throwout pumps can be moved. Irrigation wells present are also utilized to pump water into the crop fields

for irrigation purposes.
The far southern end of the Quarry property is mainly comprised of pastures used for cattle grazing and hay
production. These pastures continue off -site. The limited runoff that occurs in these pastures is generally
toward the east/southeast. Some of the drainage is captured by small swales and ditches that divert flow to
the south. Some of the drainage from these pastures can flow off -site into a large wetland area, wetland
WO -24) that generally drains to the south.
iv. Soils map at scale consistent with that used for Florida Department of Transportation Florida Land
Use Cover and Forms Classification System determinations.
Based on the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) "Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida"
(NRCS, 1998) there are 7 different soil types (soil map units) present on the project lands. Exhibit 5
provides a soils map for the project area as derived from the NRCS mapping. The following sub - sections
provide a brief description of each soil map unit identified on the project lands. Information is provided about
the soil's landscape position (i.e. its typical location in the landscape on a county -wide basis), the soil's
profile (i.e. textural composition and thickness or depth range of the layers or horizons commonly present in
the soil), and the soil's drainage and hydrologic characteristics.
Under the category of drainage /hydrologic characteristics, certain terms are employed that may warrant
explanation. When the seasonal high water table is addressed, the type of water table is identified as being
either "apparent" or "perched ". An apparent water table is a thick zone of free water in the soil
(i.e. vertical movement of the water table is essentially unconfined). A perched water table is water standing
above an unsaturated zone. In such cases there is semi - confining layer present that impedes water
percolation through the layer. There can be a water table above this layer followed by an unsaturated zone
below the layer and a second water table below this zone. The hydrologic soil group is also identified for
each soil. There are 4 groups that are used to estimate runoff from precipitation. Soils are grouped
according to the rate of infiltration of water when the soils are thoroughly wet and are subject to precipitation
from long- duration storms. The four groups range from A (soils with a high infiltration rate, low runoff
potential, and a high rate of water transmission) to D (soils having a slow infiltration rate and very slow rate
of water transmission).
The soils occurring on project lands are as follows:
Basinger fine sand (Map Unit #17)
Landscape position — Sloughs and poorly defined drainageways.
Soil profile — All soil horizons present to a depth of 80 inches or more are comprised of fine sand. A weak
spodic horizon occurs beginning at depths ranging from 12 to 38 inches.

v. Proposed drainage plan indicating basic flow patterns, outfall and off -site drainage.
The conceptual site plan for the project is provided as Exhibit 6. This plan also illustrates proposed control
structures, outfalis, lakes, and basic flow patterns on -site and off -site. It should be noted that Exhibit 6
shows the final (completed) design proposal. The project will be excavated in a series of cells with interim
internal drainage and flow designs that will allow for more efficient excavation and material handling within
the property boundaries. This will not alter the offsite drainage, outfall, or flow patterns. The series of cells
will eventually be joined together into the one large lake shown.
vi. Development plan including phasing program, service area of existing and proposed public
facilities, and existing and proposed transportation network in the impact area.
Exhibit 6 illustrates the conceptual site plan for the Hogan Island Quarry project. No construction of public
facilities is proposed as part of the project. The property will be accessed from Immokalee Road (CR 846)
using the existing Oil Well Grade Road as the access route from Immokalee Road to the Quarry property.
The proposed project includes constructing new turn lanes (west -bound right turn lane and east -bound left
turn lane) on Immokalee Road at the Oil Well Grade Road intersection.
The Hogan Island Quarry project will essentially be developed as a single -phase project. Generally
speaking, the quarry operations office, asphalt batch plant, aggregate processing plant and facilities, and
the tailings pond will be constructed first. Excavation of mining pit cells will then commence with the
excavation pits (future cells following completion of excavation in a given cell) expanding over time. The
perimeter stormwater containment berms associated with the excavation areas will be constructed prior to
excavation of each cell. As excavation activities near completion, interim roads and staging areas will be
dug out and the cells will be joined into the single lake presented as Exhibit 6. The proposed off -site
mitigation activities will be initiated shortly after obtaining all necessary permits for the project.
vii. Site plan showing preserves on -site, and how they align with preserves on adjoining and
neighboring properties. Include on the plan locations of proposed and existing development, roads,
and areas for stormwater retention, as shown on approved master plans for these sites, as well as
public owned conservation lands, conservation acquisition areas, major flowways and potential
wildlife corridors.
Exhibit 6 illustrates the conceptual site plan including the 12.77 -acre Preserve (native vegetation preserve)
proposed on the Quarry property and the two adjacent off -site mitigation areas proposed (identified as off -
site mitigation areas OM -1 and OM -2). The relationship between the on -site Preserve, off -site mitigation
areas, and adjacent off -site natural habitats can be seen in Exhibits 2, 7, and 9. The location of project
lands in relationship to RLSA Overlays, a future Stewardship Sending Area, and conservation lands (such
as Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, CREW lands) can be seen in Exhibits 10 and 11. Exhibit 12 shows the
Page 8 of 39

property in relationship to the County's Future Land Use Map.
The subject property is located on what may be viewed as a large upland peninsula projecting north from
Immokalee Road. North, northwest, northeast, and east of the project site lies a large expanse of relatively
natural wetlands generally referred to as Corkscrew Swamp. The eastern portion of this swamp extending
south from nearby Lake Trafford forms the headwaters of the Camp Keais Strand which continues
southward from Immokalee Road (see Exhibit 11). Roughly one mile west of the Quarry property is a
smaller north /south wetland area known as Foggia Strand. Large areas surrounding the project lands are
designated as Flowway Stewardship Areas (FSAs), Habitat Stewardship Areas (HSAs), and Water
Retention Areas (WRAs) in the RLSA Overlays. These general areas form significant wildlife corridors,
particularly the FSA /HSA areas extending from the west side of Lake Trafford southward through the Camp
Keais Strand.
There are no existing developments and no known developments are proposed in the immediate project
vicinity.
viii. For properties in the RLSA or RFMU districts, a site plan showing the location of the site, and land
use designations and overlays as identified in the Growth Management Plan.
The project lands are all designated Agricultural /Rural they are completely contained within the boundaries
of the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay (RLSA) district. As can be seen in Exhibit 11, extensive areas
classified as FSA, NSA, and WRA overlays are found in the general project vicinity. The Quarry property is
predominantly classified as "open land" per the RLSA. An HSA overlay extends slightly into the far eastern
portion of the Quarry property (see Exhibits 10 and 11). This HSA overlay occupies approximately 2.70
acres of the Quarry property and will be completely preserved and protected in the proposed on -site
Preserve. This topic is addressed in Section D.ii. The majority of proposed off -site mitigation area OM -1 is
covered by an HSA overlay although a narrow strip along the eastern side falls within a WRA overlay. The
eastern portion (approximately 3.7 acres) of proposed off -site mitigation area OM -2 is also covered by an
HSA overlay. All the lands within the boundaries of off -site mitigation areas OM -1 and OM -2 will be
protected and enhanced, as discussed in Section E.iv.

C. PROJECT DESCRIPTION. AND GMP CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION
I. Provide an overall description of the project with respect to environmental and water management
issues.
Rinker Materials of Florida, Inc. (Rinker) proposes to develop a new limestone and sand quarry along with
related facilities on the 968 -acre Hogan Island Quarry property, as illustrated in the conceptual site plan
(see Exhibit 6).
The area to be mined is shown on Exhibit 6 as the "maximum excavation area'. Mining will involve
excavating overburden and the underlying limestone deposits using typical equipment such as draglines,
drill rigs, excavators, front -end loaders, and dump trucks. The total depth of excavation will generally range
from 35 to 45 feet below the existing grade. The project's excavation activities will comply with applicable
portions of the County's Excavation Regulations (i.e. Chapter 22, Article IV, Code of Laws and Ordinances
of Collier County, Florida — aka the County Code). A system of haul roads will be built within the mining area
around and among the various cells (pits), from crushed limestone obtained on -site. These roads will extend
to the processing facilities proposed at the southern end of the property where the excavated materials will
be stockpiled and processed on -site.
The quarry (mine) pit cells will be excavated "in the wet" rather than dewatering an entire individual pit. This
topic is further discussed in Section F.i. Some blasting will be necessary as part of the mining operation.
Such blasting will occur roughly 3 times per week initially to open a given cell and then be reduced to about
twice per week. The blasting is conducted 6 to 8 feet below ground, will be conducted only in daylight hours
(about 10 AM to 3 PM, possibly later if there are storm delays), and will comply with the County's blasting
ordinance (i.e. Chapter 55 of the County Code). There will typically be two cells being excavated
simultaneously and the actual excavation process may be conducted 24 hours per day. Modifications to this
work schedule may result from discussions with FFWCC and FWS. Shorter hours of operation may be
necessary along the eastern boundary to minimize potential impacts to large ranging mammals such as
panthers and black bears. This will be finalized pending further discussions with agency personnel as part
of the state and federal permitting for this project. It is estimated that roughly 60 acres will be mined per
year, although it will take a couple of years following the initiation of operations to reach this level of
production.
The far south end of the Quarry property will contain various facilities and a tailings pond. An aggregate
processing plant (crushers, conveyors, etc.) will be built in the area indicated on Exhibit 6 as "product
stockpile location ". This area will encompass the plant for processing the excavated materials and
stockpiles of the raw and processed product (limestone aggregate, sand). The aggregate processing plant
will operate roughly 12 to 16 hours per day. The "office /asphalt plant location" area indicated on Exhibit 6
will contain a small office building, small maintenance shop /storage facilities, parking areas, aboveground
fuel and oil storage tanks with proper containments, and an asphalt batch plant. The asphalt batch plant will
obtain its necessary aggregate materials directly from the on -site aggregate processing plant. The asphalt
batch plant will operate primarily during daylight hours, however it may also operate at night on occasions
when necessary to meet purchaser demands (such as for roadway projects being built at night).
The aggregate processing plant will use water obtained from the quarry pit lakes and tailings pond to wash
the mined materials to remove undesirable fines (silts and clays). At the start of operations, a well may be
needed to supply some water to the plant but this consumptive use will cease once the quarry pits are
capable yielding a sufficient volume of water. A general industrial wastewater permit will be obtained from
FDEP to allow the sediment -laden process water to be discharged into the tailings pond. Water in this pond
will be recirculated to the aggregate plant as necessary. Two wells tapping the surficial aquifer will be built
to supply the limited amount of water necessary to meet sanitary needs.
Water for drinking purposes will be supplied via bottled water. A septic system will be built to handle
sewage generated.
As part of the project, a stormwater containment berm will be constructed around the outer perimeter of
Page 10 of 39
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2008
Hoprr4A" 90raf 11157
Revised March 20, 2008
"developed" portions of the project (see Exhibit 6). The crest of this earthen berm, stabilized with grass, will
be built to an elevation such that the berm will contain all storm events up to and including the 25 -year
event. Thus, all runoff from the mining area and the southern facilities area will be contained on -site and will
either percolate through the soil or flow to the quarry pit lakes or tailings pond. Stormwater will discharge off -
site via outfall control structures in the quarry pit lakes only after the lake waters (stormwater) have received
appropriate treatment and attenuation (i.e. treatment and attenuation that satisfies water quality and water
quantity design standards specified in Sections 5.0 and 6.0 of SFWMD's Basis of Review).
Even though the mining area is illustrated as a single large lake in Exhibit 6, this area will actually be
constructed as a series of working cells that will later be connected into one large lake as the mining
activities are completed. Prior to starting excavation of a given excavation cell; the perimeter stormwater
containment berm will be constructed or expanded to encompass the new mining area. Mining will progress
over time with new cells started as each preceding one is completed. It is presently estimated that there will
ultimately be 1 large lake created at the completion of mining and that this lake may be transected by one or
two causeways. The lake will occupy a total of about 600 to 700 acres; however these are preliminary
estimates only. Final completion of mining activities is estimated to occur roughly 15 years after project
construction is initiated.
It is important to understand that the existing row crop farming activities will continue during much of the
total lifespan of the Quarry project. Crop fields will be retained in areas not being mined and will be
gradually eliminated as the mining progresses across the property. The fields and agricultural drainage and
irrigation ditches associated with these fields will be modified as necessary in advance of the mining to allow
farming to continue in non -mined areas.
The overall mining area will be reclaimed in accordance with reclamation requirements set forth in Chapter
62C -36, Florida Administrative Code (limestone reclamation requirements). Mine closure and reclamation
will include removal of the asphalt batch plant and aggregate processing plant. Reclamation of the overall
Quarry property will be completed following completion of all the mining operations. This will be done in
accordance with criteria set forth in the state's applicable mine reclamation standards (i.e. Chap. 62C-
36.008, FAC).
The Quarry property now mainly consists of actively managed row crop fields and, to a lesser degree, cattle
pastures. A few areas that may be classified as "native vegetation" remain in isolated patches. Some of
these areas will be impacted by project development. However, the proposed project also includes
establishment of a 12.77 -acre on -site Preserve area (see Exhibit 6) where 44% of the existing native
vegetation will be preserved, protected, and enhanced. Besides protecting native upland vegetation, the on-
site preserve will also conserve and protect the only Habitat Stewardship Area (HSA) overlay that extends
into the Quarry property. This preserve will be established at the beginning of the Quarry project.
Five isolated and degraded wetlands, totaling 10.95 acres, also currently remain on the Quarry property.
The mining operation will eliminate these wetlands but the functional values lost as a result will be fully
compensated through a proposed off -site mitigation program that is part of the project. Two off -site
mitigation areas, shown as OM -1 and OM -2 in Exhibit 6, will be preserved and protected as part of the
mitigation program. Wetland enhancement, restoration, and creation activities coupled with enhancement of
existing uplands will take place in the off -site mitigation areas. The two proposed mitigation areas total
32.47 acres and will contain a total of approximately 27.77 of wetlands following completion of mitigation
efforts. The increase in the wetlands' functional values realized by the mitigation program will more than
offset the wetland functional values currently provided by the on -site wetlands to be impacted. The
mitigation areas will be contiguous with the proposed on -site preserve. These three preservation features
will also directly adjoin an extensive natural area that includes lands identified as Flowway Stewardship
Areas (FSAs), Habitat Stewardship Areas (HSAs), and Water Retention Areas (WRAs) in the RLSA
Overlay, and are part of the Corkscrew Swamp and Camp Keais Strand system. The off -site mitigation
areas themselves also contain lands designated as HSAs.
Alligators currently reside within and /or utilize some of the larger agricultural ditches and one wetland on the
Quarry property. Various listed wading birds visit the site to forage within the ditches and certain wetlands

on the Quarry property as well as one of the off -site mitigation area wetlands. Florida sandhill cranes also
occasionally forage in the Quarry property's pastures and crop fields. These listed species will be protected
during project construction (see Attachment 2 in Appendix C). The off -site mitigation program will greatly
enhance the habitat value of wetlands in the mitigation area, providing new areas in which listed wading
birds can forage and possibly establishing an area suitable for crane nesting. The extensive lakes created
through the mining process will establish far more aquatic habitat for use by listed wading birds and
alligators than presently exists on the Quarry property.
The large mining pit lake, when completed, will provide much greater water storage on the Quarry property
than exists currently and thus will be a source of groundwater recharge for the general region. The water
table in the lakes will reflect the existing regional water table and so will not adversely affect natural
hydroperiods or peak water table elevations in off -site wetlands. To the contrary, more water will be
available to the wetlands through the surficial aquifer recharge effects of the lakes. The on -site stormwater
management system proposed is designed so that some stormwater from the pit lake will discharge into
certain off -site wetlands following appropriate water quality treatment and attenuation. These water inputs
are anticipated to significantly improve the current hydroperiod of wetlands located in the off -site mitigation
areas and may benefit other off -site wetlands as well. The overall water balance for the project site should
be improved since groundwater withdrawals for crop field irrigation will be phased out as the mining
operation progresses.
Currently, agricultural practices on the Quarry property include the use of throwout pumps to discharge
water from the crop fields into off -site uplands and wetlands. This discharge seriously disrupts and
adversely impacts the natural hydroperiod of affected wetlands and also lowers the water quality in the
wetlands receiving water from the pumping. As mining progresses, the on -site farming activities including
the use of throwout pumps will be eliminated. Discontinuation of pumping will further benefit water quality
and hydroperiods in off -site wetlands. Surface water nutrient loadings generated by the existing farming
operations are substantial. The proposed project will decrease nutrient loadings significantly. The proposed
project stormwater management system will capture and treat on -site stormwater runoff in accordance with
SFWMD /FDEP stormwater treatment and attenuation design criteria. The stormwater treatment capacity of
the quarry pit lake network will be so great that it is anticipated the nutrient concentrations in waters
discharging from the lakes via proposed stormwater outfalls will be practically nil.
ii. Explain how the project is consistent with each of the Objectives and Policies in the Conservation
and Coastal Management Element of the Growth Management Plan, where applicable.
The following subsections address the proposed project's consistency with various goals, objectives, and
policies found in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) and the Future Land Use
Element (FLUE) of the County's Growth Management Plan.
COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
Policy 1.3.2 -- ....The RLSA also contains policies to direct incompatible land uses away from FSAs,
HSAs, and WRAs in order to protect wetlands, upland habitats, and listed species within the RLSA.
The project lands are located entirely within the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) overlay. All the
proposed development activities will occur in areas designated as "open lands" in the RLSA and thus will
not impact any areas identified as Flowway Stewardship Area (FSA), Habitat Stewardship Area (HSA), or
Water Retention Area (WRA) overlays. One HSA overlay extends into the Quarry property, occupying
approximately 2.7 acres in the eastern portion of the site. This HSA will be preserved within the project's on-
site preserve area. The project's off -site mitigation program includes preservation and enhancement
(restoration) of off -site lands primarily classified as HSAs.
GOAL 2: The County shall protect its surface and estuarine water resources.
The proposed project will not impact any estuarine areas. Existing degraded wetlands and agricultural
Pace 12 of 39
Auenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2008
HoearRgq@ W' 11157
Revised March 20, 2008
drainage ditches on the Quarry property will be eliminated by project development activities. The wetland
impacts will be satisfactorily mitigated through the project's proposed off -site mitigation program. The large
lakes created by the mining process will establish far more surface water areas and desirable aquatic
habitats than currently exist on the Quarry property. The lakes will also serve to provide surface water
storage that can help recharge the surficial aquifer in the general area.
Objective 2.2 - -All canals, rivers, and flowways discharging into estuaries shall meet all applicable
Federal, State, or local water quality standards.
Runoff from the project lands does not presently discharge directly into any estuaries, nor will any
discharges from the proposed project's stormwater management system discharge directly into an estuary.
Surface water flows in the wetland systems constituting the Camp Keais Strand adjacent to the project do,
however, eventually discharge into coastal estuarine systems several miles from the project site.
The project's stormwater management system is designed to comply with all applicable design standards
and requirements set forth in SFWMD's Basis of Review (BOR), including but not limited to those
addressing water quality criteria (BOR Section 5.0), water quantity criteria (BOR Section 6.0), and water
management design and construction criteria (BOR Section 7.0). Adherence to these criteria will help
ensure discharges from the stormwater management system to off -site lands meets applicable state and
federal surface water quality standards. All runoff from developed areas will be contained on -site through
use a perimeter stormwater containment berm. This runoff will flow into the project's lakes for proper
attenuation and treatment. During the construction and mining process, appropriate best management
practices will be employed to control and reduce soil erosion, sediment transport, and turbidity.
Policy 2.2.2 -- Stormwater systems should be designed in such a way that discharged water does not
degrade receiving waters and an attempt is made to enhance the timing, quantity, and quality of
fresh water to the estuarine system.
As discussed above, the project's stormwater management system has been designed such that discharges
from the system to off -site lands, including wetlands, will not degrade water quality. Current agricultural
practices on the Quarry property include the use of throwout pumps, some of which discharge water from
the row crop fields into off -site wetlands. The proposed project will eliminate this discharge, significantly
improving water quality in the presently affected wetlands.
The project's stormwater design will comply with requirements set forth in BOR Sections 4.2.2.4, 5.2, 6.11,
and 6.12. The control elevation established will not adversely impact the hydroperiod of off -site wetlands.
The large lakes will properly attenuate peak flows during storm events. The system design attempts to
enhance and significantly improve the hydroperiod of certain wetlands, particularly those in the project's two
off -site mitigation areas. Outfalls from the quarry pit lake system to these wetlands will help provide much
needed water with discharge inputs occurring following peak rainfall events during the wet season. The
natural hydroperiod of several off -site wetlands is severely disrupted by the water inputs generated by the
existing on -site throwout pumps. Elimination of this practice will also benefit off -site wetland hydroperiods.
Policy 2.2.3 -- Chemical spraying for aquatic weed control should be conducted with extreme
caution. The use of appropriate biological and mechanical controls in both the canal system and
stormwater detention ponds is encouraged. Manufacturers and EPA guidelines for chemical use in
aquatic habitat will be followed.
The applicant will attempt to use appropriate biological and mechanical control methods to eradicate and
suppress the spread of aquatic weeds in the project's lakes. It is likely chemical spraying will still be
necessary to adequately control aquatic weeds in some instances. Any such spraying will be conducted by
or under the direct supervision of a duly licensed pesticide applicator in accordance with EPA guidelines
and the chemical manufacturer's labeling instructions.
GOAL 3: The County shall protect the County's ground water resources to ensure the highest water
quality practicable.

Due to the proposed method of excavation (wet mining), groundwater resources will not be affected by this
project. The project site is not located in an area where quarry excavation activities might pose the threat of
potential saltwater intrusion. Most of the Quarry property is currently used to produce small vegetable crops
and as such requires irrigation. The supplemental irrigation is supplied by groundwater resources via wells.
The proposed project will not require consumption of as great a volume of water as that demanded by the
existing crop fields, therefore utilization of groundwater resources will be reduced. For example, the current
permitted agricultural water use allocation for the Quarry property is approximately 722 million gallons per
year (MGY), which is utilized to irrigate the crop fields. While the total consumptive use allocation for Quarry
operations will be greater than this amount, SFWMD estimates that less than 5% of the permitted
withdrawal represents actual consumption because more than 95% of the water is returned to the aquifer
via return flow to the Quarry pit lakes or through infiltration. The projected net water usage for the Quarry
project is 195 MGY or roughly 27% of the current agricultural water usage. The current agricultural practices
also result in significant loadings of nutrients and certain pesticides. These loadings will be substantially
reduced by the proposed project, thereby improving water quality in the surficial aquifer.
GOAL 4: The County shall conserve, protect and appropriately manage the County's fresh water
resources.
The proposed project will have no net negative effect on the County's fresh water resources. Indications are
that the overall water budget for the Quarry property will be improved by development of the project, largely
through the elimination of agricultural ground water usage. The extensive lakes created through the mining
operation will provide much greater storage of fresh water than exists today.
Although a limited extent of existing wetlands will be impacted by project development, there will be no net
loss of wetland functions as a result of the proposed off -site mitigation program. The project lakes will more
than compensate for the loss of the existing water storage volume provided in the wetlands to be impacted.
GOAL 5: The County shall protect, conserve and appropriately use its mineral and soil resources.
The proposed project constitutes a direct and appropriate use of the County's soil and mineral (limestone)
resources. The mining operation will generate fill and aggregate materials which are in short supply in the
region. The mining operation as well as the proposed asphalt batch plant will help supply the raw materials
necessary to satisfy the County's ever increasing infrastructure demands.
Objective 5.1 - -Allow the extraction or use of mineral resources in the County provided such
activities comply with applicable industry and government standards regarding health, safety, and
environmental protection.
The project involves the extraction and use of mineral resources. All project activities and operations will
comply with applicable industry and government standards /requirements pertaining to health, safety, and
environmental protection. Rinker places great importance on maintaining a safe work environment and
demands that its contractors follow this philosophy, including adherence to applicable OSHA requirements.
The project design will help ensure the environment is protected to the greatest degree practicable. Details
of the measures necessary to adequately protect the environment will be further refined and developed
during the permitting stage of the project.
Policy 5.1.3 -- Mineral extraction operations shall comply with standards and criteria as provided in
the County's Excavation and Blasting Ordinances.
The proposed mining operations will comply with applicable standards and criteria set forth in the cited
ordinances. The applicant will apply for and obtain the necessary County permits required by these
ordinances.
Objective 5.2 -- Continue to reclaim the total disturbed area of extraction sites in order to ensure
adequate assessment and mitigation of site specific and cumulative impacts resulting from mineral
extraction activities.

The proposed quarry will be reclaimed in accordance with requirements set forth in Chapter 62C -36, Florida
Administrative Code (FAC). The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requires a mine
reclamation plan to be submitted to FDEP for their review and approval prior to the initiation of mining
activities. FDEP will review the proposed reclamation plan concurrently with their review of the project's
Environmental Resource Permit application. Mine reclamation will be conducted in accordance with specific
requirements FDEP places on the reclamation plan.
GOAL 6: The County shall identify, protect, conserve and appropriately use its native vegetative
communities and wildlife habitat.
Virtually all of the Quarry property has been converted to agricultural uses. The few areas that bear any
resemblance to former natural communities have also been significantly disturbed and degraded.
Development of the proposed project will impact isolated areas that can be classified as "native vegetation"
but will also preserve one remaining area of native vegetation that links to off -site natural habitats. This
preserve area will be enhanced via eradication of invasive exotics and supplemental planting of native
species, thereby improving its wildlife habitat value.
Various animal species frequent the Quarry property today, mainly to forage in ditches, fields, and some on-
site wetlands. Project development will eliminate most of the man -made habitats and most of the few
remaining natural habitats currently utilized by these species. However, the future lakes created by the
project will provide new habitats for many of the species. The off -site mitigation program proposed will
substantially improve the habitat values of wetlands and uplands present in the two mitigation areas.
Policy 6.1.3 - -For the County's RLSA Overlay... native vegetation shall be preserved pursuant to the
RLSA policies found in the Future Land Use Element.
The proposed project preserves existing native vegetation on the Quarry property in accordance with the
minimum standards specified in Policy 5.5.2.a.iii of the RLSA Overlay portion of the FLUE. This policy
requires at least 40% of the existing native vegetation to be retained. The proposed on -site preserve will
protect and preserve 44% (11.90 acres) of the existing native vegetation areas currently present on the
Quarry property. An additional 0.87 acres within this preserve currently do not classify as native vegetation.
These areas will be enhanced /restored (via eradication of exotics and limited planting of native species)
such that they will also classify as native vegetation following completion of the proposed
enhancement/restoration activities.
Policy 6.1.4 -- Prohibited invasive exotic vegetation shall be removed from all new developments.
Prohibited exotic vegetation will be eradicated from Quarry property areas to be developed in accordance
with LDC Section 3.05.08. Specifics of the eradication /removal program and exotic vegetation maintenance
plan will be addressed at the time of Site Development Plan approval for the project. Both Category 1 and 2
invasive exotics identified in the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's (EPPC) "List of Invasive Species' will be
eradicated and controlled in the proposed on -site preserve and in the two OM Areas, in general accordance
with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.g.ii.
Policy 6.1.7 (4) -- Stormwater management systems within the RLSA Overlay shall be designed
pursuant to the RLSA policies found in the Future Land Use Element.
The project's stormwater management system has been designed to comply with applicable RLSA policies.
Following completion of a particular quarry pit lake, shorelines will likely be planted with a variety of native
littoral zone species in accordance with the applicable design specifications set forth in the reclamation
requirements specified in Chapter 62C -36, FAC. Specifics of the treatment of pit lake shorelines will be
determined during the Environmental Resource Permit application process since FDEP will review the mine
plan /reclamation plan concurrently with the project's ERP application.

Policy 6. 1.8 - -An Environmental Impact Statement is required...
This document constitutes the Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed project.
Objective 6.2 - -The County shall protect and conserve wetlands and the natural functions of
wetlands.... AND Policy 6.2.8 - -For the County's RLSA Overlay... wetlands shall be preserved
pursuant to the RLSA Overlay policies found in the Future Land Use Element.
These issues are discussed in the sections below dealing with RLSA Overlay policies 5.6 and 5.6.1a, b, e,
and I. Although the proposed project will impact the degraded wetlands on the Quarry property, these
impacts will be fully mitigated such that there is no net loss of wetland functions. The project's stormwater
management system will not adversely affect natural seasonal high water elevations or natural hydroperiods
of off -site wetlands. Certain off -site wetlands near the project are adversely affected by agricultural water
inputs. The proposed project will eliminate this problem.
Policy 6.2.1 -- ...wetlands identified by the 1994 -95 SFWMD land use and land cover inventory are
mapped on the Future Land Use Map series. These areas shall be verified by a jurisdictional field
delineation, subject to Policy 6.2.2 of this element, at the time of project permitting to determine the
exact location of jurisdictional wetland boundaries.
The limits (boundaries) of existing wetlands present on the project lands were delineated in the field by
qualified WilsonMiller ecologists using the appropriate wetland delineation methodologies (see EIS Section
EJ). Following completion of this jurisdictional field delineation, the wetland flag locations used to delineate
the wetland boundaries were survey- located by SurvTech Solutions, Inc. As delineated, there are 5 isolated
wetlands present on the Quarry property. These wetlands encompass a total of 10.95 acres. One wetland is
present within the boundaries of off -site mitigation area OM -1. This wetland continues beyond the mitigation
area limits. The portion within these limits encompasses 20.19 acres. One isolated wetland is completed
contained within the boundaries of off -site mitigation area OM -2. This wetland encompasses 6.04 acres.
FDEP will be the agency responsible for processing the Quarry project's ERP application. FDEP will "verify"
the wetland limits delineated by WilsonMiller during the ERP review process. Any minor revisions to the
wetland limits required by FDEP will be reflected in materials submitted to the County as part of this
project's SDP approval application. It is not anticipated that any substantive changes to the wetland limits
depicted in the EIS exhibits will be necessary.
GOAL 7., The County shall protect and conserve its fisheries and wildlife.
There are no areas on or immediately adjacent to the project lands that can be classified as fisheries, hence
no fisheries will be affected by the proposed project.
As previously discussed, the existing Quarry property contains limited habitat for wildlife. The large
freshwater lakes that will be created through the mining process will provide habitat for an array of species
including fish, wading birds, alligators, turtles, amphibians, certain raptors, and macroinvertebrates. The
quality of upland and wetland habitats currently present in the proposed onsite preserve and in the project's
two off -site mitigation areas will be substantially improved as part of the project, thereby improving their
value to wildlife. The single HSA on the property will be preserved and enhanced as will be HSAs found in
the OM Areas. The proposed project is not located within the Conservation Designation on the Future Land
Use Map, the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern, the Natural Resources Protection Area, or
designated Sending Lands. Measures to protect listed species that have been documented on the Quarry
property have been included in this EIS.

Objective 7.1 - -The County shall direct incompatible land uses away from listed animal species and
their habitats. AND Policy 7.1.1(5) -- incompatible land uses are directed away from listed species
and their habitats .... (listed animal and plant species and their habitats shall also be protected)
through establishment of Habitat Stewardship Areas (HSAs) within the RLSA Overlay.
The above objective and policy indicates that incompatible land uses in the RLSA Overlay are automatically
directed away from listed animal and plant species through the establishment and protection of HSAs. All
the proposed development activities will occur in areas that are designated as "other lands" in the RLSA
Overlay. The single HSA covering a small fraction of the site will be preserved and enhanced within the
project's on -site preserve and HSAs in the OM Areas will be preserved and enhanced. Indications are that
no listed animal species actually reside or nest on the Quarry property other than alligators.
Policy 7.1.3 - -For the County's Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) Overlay, as designated on the
FLUM, listed species shall be protected pursuant to RLSA policies found in the Future Land Use
Element.
This EIS includes a plan for protecting listed species during project construction /mining activities (see
Appendix C). This plan addresses the few listed species (wading birds, alligators, sandhill cranes)
documented on the project site as well as some additional listed wading birds that may utilize the property
for nesting, and /or foraging. No HSAs will be adversely impacted by the proposed project. Instead, the
project preserves, protects, and improves certain HSAs.
Policy 7.1.4 - -All development shall comply with applicable federal and state permitting
requirements regarding listed species protection.
Development of the proposed project will require an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) from FDEP and
a Section 404 permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE). Coordination with the Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Service (FWC) concerning state listed species will occur during the ERP
permitting process while coordination with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) concerning federal listed
species will occur during the USACE permitting process. The applicant will comply with the specific listed
species protection and habitat management requirements required by the ERP and USACE permits,
including any FWS take permit requirements if applicable.
GOAL 11: The County shall provide for the protection, preservation, and sensitive re -use of historic
resources.
Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (ACI) performed a cultural resource assessment survey of the project
lands. Their survey found no archaeological or historical sites or artifacts on the project lands and ACI
concluded that the proposed project would not impact any significant cultural resources. The State Historic
Preservation Officer reviewed ACI's survey report, approved this report, and agreed with ACI's
determination that the Quarry project have no effect on significant cultural resources.
If, during the course of site development and mining activities, an archaeological or historical artifact, or
other indicator is discovered, development/mining activities at that specific site shall be immediately stopped
and the appropriate agency notified. Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to enable
the County or a designated consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action.

Quarry property will be preserved, protected, and enhanced within the proposed on -site preserve. Lands
designated as HSAs and a small area designated as WRA fall within the boundaries of the proposed off -site
mitigation areas. These areas will be significantly enhanced by the mitigation activities proposed.
Policy 5.5.1 — A wildlife survey shall be required....
A thorough survey for listed plant and animal species as well as for other wildlife was conducted on the
project lands by WilsonMilier. This survey is discussed in Appendix B. The only listed species observed by
WilsonMilier on the project lands were certain wading birds (little blue heron, snowy egret, tricolored heron,
wood stork), alligators, and Florida sandhill cranes. A specific - purpose survey for crested caracaras and
their nests was later performed by Passarella & Associates (see Appendix B1). The only listed species
observed on the Quarry property during this survey were wood storks, sandhill cranes, and white ibis.
Policy 5.5.2 — Wildlife habitat management plans for listed species shall be submitted for County
approval.
Appendix C contains protection (management) plans for the listed species observed on project lands by
WilsonMiller as well as for some other listed wading birds that may occasionally forage on these lands.
Should the FWS determine that management plans are needed for other listed species such as Florida
panther or crested caracara, such plans will be developed during the USACE permitting process and
provided to the County during the SDP approval process for the project.
Policy 5.5.2.a.iif. - -When listed species are directly observed on site or indicated by evidence ... a
minimum of 40% of native vegetation shall be retained, with the exception of clearing for
agricultural purposes.
The proposed on -site preserve will protect and retain 44% of the total acreage of native vegetation
communities currently on the Quarry property. Only 27.33 acres of the Quarry property can presently be
classified as native vegetation. The 12.77 -acre on -site preserve will preserve 11.90 acres of this existing
native vegetation The on -site preserve also encompasses smaller areas that do not currently classify as
native vegetation. Through the eradication of invasive exotic species and the supplemental planting of
native species in these areas, they will also be restored to native vegetation communities. The existing
native vegetation areas will also be enhanced through the eradication of invasive exotics. Additional areas
of native vegetation will be both preserved and restored in the project's off -site mitigation areas.
Policy 5.5.2.g. - -For projects located in Priority 1 or Priority H Panther Habitat areas, the
management plan shall discourage the destruction of undisturbed, native habitats that are preferred
(e.g. pine flatwoods and hardwood hammocks) by the Florida panther by directing intensive land
uses to currently disturbed areas.
The proposed project is located on lands classified as both Primary Zone and Secondary Zone panther
habitat conservation areas. There are really no undisturbed native habitats remaining on the Quarry
property and the habitats present have low panther habitat value according to the FWS. For example, the
panther habitat conservation areas that will impacted by the Quarry project have an average Panther
Habitat Suitability Value score of 4.0 whereas the highest potential suitability value is 10.0. No panthers
have ever been documented on project lands although a few have been documented in native habitats near
the site. Project development will not impact any "preferred" panther habitats and will occur in currently
disturbed areas.
A specific management plan for Florida panthers has not been included in this EIS as this would be
premature. It is likely FWS will require a Section 7 consultation for the project during the USACE permitting
process; primarily to address mitigation of the project's impacts to Primary and Secondary Zone lands. Any
necessary panther "management" activities will be determined during the consultation process. Should FWS
require specific management activities in addition to mitigation of habitat impacts, a management plan will
be generated in accordance with FWS's requirements and will be provided to the County at the time of Site
Development Plan review and approval for the project.

Policy 5.5.2.h - -The Management Plans shall contain a monitoring program for developments greater
than 10 acres.
Should the County determine that a 'monitoring program" is needed for a particular listed species, the
applicant's agents will work with County staff to develop an appropriate program and the program will be
submitted during the project's SDP approval process. In the interim, the applicant requests the County
provide examples of acceptable monitoring programs to help guide program preparation.
In the case of the Quarry project, it does not seem that a monitoring program, as this term is commonly
employed, will be necessary as regards the proposed listed species protection /management /protection plan.
The management plan does not include activities such as preserving /restoring /creating habitats to support
listed species, managing habitats specifically for purposes of supporting listed species, or relocating listed
species. The currently proposed management plan is simply a mechanism for helping protect listed species
during project construction. Hence, any required "monitoring program" may really be more of a reporting
program whereby results of the various protection activities are reported to the County on a regular basis
(perhaps annually) during the construction /development stages of the project.
Policy 5.6 -- ....County shall direct non - agricultural land uses away from high functioning wetlands
by limiting direct impacts within wetlands. AND Policy 5.6.3.a - -FSAs, HSAs, and WRAs, as provided
in Policy 5.3, and the ACSC have stringent site clearing and alteration limitations.... Other wetlands
within the RLSA are isolated or seasonal wetlands. These wetlands will be protected based upon the
wetland functionality assessment described below, and the final permitting requirements of
SFWMD. The County shall apply the vegetation retention, open space, and site preservation
requirements specified within this Overlay to preserve an appropriate amount of native vegetation
on site. Wetlands shall be preserved as part of this vegetation requirement according to the
following criteria....
The proposed project will impact a total of 10.95 acres of isolated, degraded wetlands on the Quarry
property. None of the 5 affected wetlands are located in an FSA, HSA, or WRA and the project is not
located within the ACSC. The boundaries of the proposed project originally encompassed more wetlands
that would have been impacted, but these boundaries have since been adjusted to reduce impacts to the
acreage now proposed.
None of the wetlands to be impacted has a UMAM score of 0.7 or greater. Their current UMAM functional
scores range from 0.23 to 0.37. None of these wetlands serve as corridors for listed species movement and
they are not part of larger wetland flowways (all are isolated). The affected wetlands are not really utilized by
any listed wading birds to a significant degree and certainly do not represent critical habitats for any listed
species. The proposed stormwater management system for the project is designed in accordance with
Sections 4.2.2.4, 6.11, and 6.12 of SFWMD's BOR, and thus will not create water table drawdowns in off -
site wetlands or otherwise degrade the natural hydroperiod of off -site wetlands. Pursuant to Policy 5.6.3.a.iii,
the proposed project utilizes preservation of upland vegetative communities (those retained in the on -site
preserve) to meet the vegetative, open space and site preservation requirements of the RLSA Overlay since
the wetland functional assessment score for all the on -site wetlands to be impacted is less than 0.65.
Preservation of the on -site wetlands would not result in preserves that could be linked to off -site natural
habitats and wildlife corridors without restoring large areas that are presently crop fields. The proposed on-
site preserve does, however, does directly connect to off -site natural habitats, HSAs, FSAs, WRAs, and
important wildlife corridors.
Policy 5.6.3.b. — ... Applicants shall rate functionality of wetlands.....
A UMAM assessment for the wetlands to be impacted and for the wetlands in the off -site mitigation areas is
included in this EIS.

Policy 5.6.3.e. - -The County shall separate preserved wetlands from other land uses with appropriate
buffering requirements....
There will be no wetlands preserved on the Quarry property. The proposed project will provide appropriate
buffers between the on -site limits of development features and off -site wetlands. These buffers or setbacks
are at least 50 feet wide (distance from limits of construction /development to wetland limits) which exceeds
County and state requirements.
Policy 5.6.3.f. --- Mitigation shall be required for direct impacts to wetlands in order to result in no net
loss of wetland functions.
An off -site mitigation program is proposed to compensate for the project's wetland impacts. The mitigation
program will take place in the areas designated as off -site mitigation areas OM -1 and OM -2 that total 32.47
acres, 26.23 acres of which are existing wetlands. Wetland enhancement, restoration, and creation activities
as well as upland enhancement activities in the OM Areas will expand the extent of existing wetlands to
27.77 acres and will substantially improve the wetland functional values. The UMAM assessment performed
for the project indicates the increase in wetland functions resulting from the off -site mitigation program will
exceed the wetland functions lost through the project's wetland impacts. Hence, the project will result in no
net loss of wetland functions. Instead, there will be a net gain in wetland functions derived from mitigation.
The construction and reclamation of the project's quarry pit lakes will also create more aquatic habitat than
exists on the Quarry property today. Although not part of the proposed mitigation program, this aspect of the
project will further help compensate for the limited project wetland impacts.

D. NATIVE VEGETATION PRESERVATION
i. Identify the acreage and community type of all upland and wetland habitats found on the project
site, according to the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS). Provide
a description of each of the FLUCFCS categories identified on -site by vegetation type (species)
vegetation composition (canopy, midstory and ground cover) and vegetation dominance (dominant,
common and occasional).
The existing habitat types (FLUCFCS map units /categories) are shown in Exhibits 2 and 3 and are
described in Appendix B. Table 1 lists each of the existing major FLUCFCS categories and their extent as
mapped on the Quarry property while Appendix B contains a table listing alt the unique FLUCFCS map units
present on the Quarry property and their extent. Section E.iv addresses the existing habitats present in the
project's proposed off -site mitigation areas.
Of the total 967.65 acres contained within the Quarry property boundary, 94% classify as uplands
(912.09 ac.), 5% classify as other surface waters (44.61 ac.; drainage ditches), and 1% classify as wetlands
(10.95 ac.). The majority of the property (81 %) consists of actively farmed row crop fields. Other agricultural
areas and features constitute most of the remaining area (pasture and woodland pasture areas = 9 %;
agricultural drainage ditches = 5 %; farm roads and trails = 2 %; previously cleared agricultural lands and
facilities areas = 2%).
it. Explain how the project meets or exceeds the native vegetation preservation requirement in Goal 6
of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Growth Management Plan, and
Chapters 3 and 10 of the Land Development Code. Provide an exhibit illustrating such. Include
calculations identifying the acreage for preservation and impact, per FLUCFCS category.
There are currently a total of 27.33 acres of habitats (i.e. vegetation associations or FLUCFCS categories)
on the Quarry property that may be classified as native vegetation. These areas, occupying less than 3% of
the total property, are illustrated in Exhibit 3. Table 2 lists each of the existing native vegetation FLUCFCS
mapping units and the extent of each habitat type.
The proposed project will impact a total of 15.43 acres or 56% of the existing native vegetation areas on the
Quarry property. Native vegetation areas that will be impacted are shown in Exhibit 7 while Table 3 provides
a listing of each native vegetation FLUCFCS types that will be impacted and the total extent of the proposed
impacts to each of these categories.
The project includes establishment of a single on -site preserve (the "Preserve" or "native vegetation
preserve ") adjacent to the eastern Quarry property boundary. This preserve will encompass a total of
12.77 acres and is proposed as the location where existing on -site native vegetation will be preserved. The
Preserve is shown in Exhibits 6, 7, and 9. Exhibit 6 also illustrates the existing native vegetation habitats
(FLUCFCS mapping units) that will be preserved on the Quarry property within the native vegetation
preserve. Table 4 lists the existing habitat types, for both native and non - native vegetation, contained within
the boundaries of the proposed Preserve along with the total extent of each preserved habitat (FLUCFCS)
type.
Native vegetation preservation requirements applicable to the Quarry property are addressed in Policy 6.1.3
of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element (CCME) of the County's Growth Management Plan
(GMP) and in Policy 5.5.2.a.iii of Section D, the Rural Lands Stewardship Area Overlay or RLSA, of the
Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the GMP. These requirements are echoed in Section 4.08.05.J.2 of the
County's Land Development Code (LDC), which indicates that if listed species are observed on the project
site then a minimum of 40% of the native vegetation on site must be retained. The proposed on -site
Preserve will preserve and protect a total of 11.90 acres of the existing vegetation present on the Quarry
property. This equates to preservation of 44% of the total existing native vegetation on -site.
The on -site Preserve will be protected by placing it in an appropriate conservation easement pursuant to
LDC 3.05.07.H.1.d (i.e. in a conservation easement dedicated to the County). The on site and off -site
Page 21 of 39
Agenda Item No. 17D

Hog ��IQ0am1EI157
Reis March 20, 2008
preserves will be protected by placing them in an appropriate conservation easement dedicated to Collier
County. The Conservation Easement for on -site and off -site preserves will be submitted for review and
approved by County Staff prior to Excavation Permit issuance. Both Category 1 and 2 invasive exotics
identified in the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's (EPPC) "List of Invasive Species" will be eradicated and
controlled throughout the Preserve , in accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.g.ii. Following completion of the
initial exotic eradication efforts, native upland trees, shrubs, and ground cover species will be planted as
necessary within the Preserve areas that do not presently constitute native vegetation habitats to restore
these areas, totaling 0.87 acres, to a native forests. Large "gaps" left in the existing native vegetation areas
as a result of the exotic eradication process will also be planted with appropriate native upland species.
Supplemental plantings will be conducted in general accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.f. Through the
restoration of current non - native vegetation areas, the entire 12.77 -acre Preserve will be comprised of
native vegetation associations. The post- restoration /enhancement communities are anticipated to be a
mixture of FLUCFCS 411 (pine flatwoods — palmetto understory) and FLUCFCS 416 (pine flatwoods —
graminoid understory).
As mapped in the GMP, portions of RLSA Overlays designated as Habitat Stewardship Areas (HSAs) and
Water Retention Areas (WRAs) extend onto the Quarry property. The limits and boundaries of such
overlays depicted in the GMP were generated on a regional planning -level basis and thus were subject to
various inaccuracies termed "scrivener's errors'. Most of the projections of HSA overlay areas and the
single projection of W RA overlay area into the Quarry property constitute such scrivener's errors. For
example, many polygons shown as HSAs are long narrow strips following the property line that encompass
on -site areas that are active row crop fields and field drainage ditches.
The intent of the HSA delineation was to follow the outer boundaries of the crop fields, excluding the fields
themselves and instead encompassing only natural habitats located outside of and adjacent to these fields.
By adjusting the original RLSA overlays to correct these scrivener's errors, it was determined that no WRAs
fall within the Quarry property boundary and that a single zone of HSA overlay extends onto the property.
The single HSA overlay on the Quarry property encompasses approximately 2.70 acres near the eastern
property boundary as can be seen in Exhibits 10 and 11. The proposed on -site Preserve protects this entire
HSA zone, which is situated in the northeast portion of the future Preserve.
As discussed in Section E.iv., the on -site Preserve will directly abut the two proposed off -site mitigation
areas thereby forming a much larger contiguous preservation area. The Preserve will directly connect to
extensive areas of natural habitats and wildlife corridors that lie east of the Preserve. It will also tie into
lands slated to become a future Stewardship Sending Area as illustrated in Exhibit 10. This SSA and
extensive areas adjoining the proposed SSA include hundreds of acres classified as Flowway Stewardship
Areas (FSAs), HSAs, and WRAs. The Preserve further consists of areas classified as Primary Zone and
Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation lands and enhancement of current conditions within the
Preserve will improve its panther habitat value.
iii. For sites already cleared and in agricultural use, provide documentation that the parcel(s) are in
compliance with the 25 year rezone limitation in Policy 6.1.5 of the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element of the Growth Management Plan and Chapters 3 and 10 of the Land
Development Code. For sites cleared prior to January 2003, provide documentation that the
parcel(s) are in compliance with the 10 year rezone limitation previously identified in the Growth
Management Plan and Land Development Code.
CCME Policy 6.1.5 addresses agricultural exemption from native vegetation preservation requirements set
forth in CCME Policies 6.1.1 and 6.1.2. CCME Policy 6.1.1 is only applicable to lands in the Urban
Designated Area, Estates Designated Area, Conservation Designated Area, Agricultural /Rural Mixed Use
District, Rural- Industrial District, and Rural- Settlement Area District. CCME Policy 6.1.2 is only applicable to
lands in the Rural Fringe Mixed Use District.
The proposed project is located entirely within the RLSA Overlay. Because of this, CCME Policy 6.1 ,5 is not

applicable to the proposed project, as further confirmed within the policy itself which states that agricultural
clearing within the RLSA is allowed and is guided by the RLSA Policies found in the FLUE.
As discussed in the preceding section, the project satisfies the applicable native vegetation preservation
requirements set forth in the FLUE.
A review of historic aerial photographs for the region indicated that in 1953 the project lands had not been
significantly disturbed from their natural state, although some areas may have been partially cleared to
improve cattle grazing. By 1962, a substantial portion of the project lands had been converted to row crop
fields and areas of improved pastures. By 1973, agricultural clearing and development had progressed to
essentially the conditions that are currently present as can be seen in Exhibit 8. Sometime between 1973
and 1983, the row crop field area previously occupying most of off -site mitigation area OM -1 appears to
have been abandoned and was beginning to undergo succession.
iv. Have preserves or acreage requirements for preservation previously been identified for the site
during previous development order approvals? If so, identify the location and acreage of these
preserves, and provide an explanation if they are different from what is proposed.
It is our understanding that there have been no previous development orders approved for all or portions of
the project lands. No development orders that might set forth preservation requirements applicable to the
project lands appear to have been issued.
v. For properties with Special Treatment "ST overlays, show the ST overlay on the development plan
and provided an explanation as to why these areas are being impacted or preserved.
Not applicable. There are no Special Treatment overlays on the project lands or in the immediate vicinity of
these lands.

E. WETLANDS
Define the number of acres of Collier County jurisdictional wetlands (pursuant to Policy 6.2.1 and
6.2.2 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Growth Management Plan)
according to the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System ( FLUCFCS). Include a
description of each of the FLUCFCS categories identified on -site by vegetation type (species),
vegetation composition (canopy, midstory and ground cover) and vegetation dominance (dominant,
common and occasional). Wetland determinations are required to be verified by the South Florida
Water Management District or Florida Department of Environmental Protection, prior to submission
to the County.
Qualified WilsonMiller environmental staff inspected the project lands for the purpose of delineating
wetlands and other surface waters. The wetland delineation methodologies and criteria set forth by the state
(in Chapter 62 -340, FAC, Delineation of the Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters) and the US
Army Corps of Engineers (in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual) were followed in
determining whether an area classified as a wetland or other surface water and in delineating the limits
(boundaries) of potential jurisdictional wetlands and other surface waters.
WilsonMiller ecologists flagged the boundaries of areas determined to classify as wetlands. There were very
few cases where it appeared wetland lines established based on the state methodology would differ from
those established based on the federal (USACE) methodology. Where this did occur, the feature boundary
was flagged based on the landward -most extent of the two methods - in other words, the methodology that
produced the greatest extent of wetlands was used to flag the wetland line (the "safe uplands line"
approach). The wetland boundaries flagged (marked) by staff ecologists were subsequently survey - located.
The majority of the boundaries of potential wetland areas on lands immediately adjacent to the Quarry
property and OM Areas were estimated through limited field observations and interpretation of aerial photos
- and other pertinent information such as soils maps, SFWMD land use maps, etc.
Exhibits 2 and 3 depict wetlands present on the project lands and immediately adjacent areas. Within the
Quarry property there are 5 wetlands that encompass a total of 10.95 acres or about 1% of the Quarry
property. These "on- site" wetlands are identified as wetlands W -1 through W -5. One large wetland, wetland
WO -1, is present within the boundaries of off -site mitigation area OM -1 while another smaller wetland,
wetland WO -2, is present within the boundaries of off -site mitigation area OM -2. These two off -site wetland
areas encompass a total of 26.23 acres. All wetlands situated outside the Quarry property boundary are
referred to as "off- site" wetlands and are identified with codes beginning with "WO" whereas the on -site
wetland are identified with codes beginning with "W".
Table 5 provides a listing of the various existing FLUCFCS types mapped in the on -site wetlands as
depicted in Exhibits 2 and 3. Table 6 provides similar information for the wetlands present in the OM Areas.
Refer to Appendix B for a description of the various FLUCFCS categories. The following paragraphs provide
a general description of each of the five on -site wetlands and of the wetlands contained within the limits of
the OM Areas. All of the wetlands situated on the Quarry property are completely isolated as is wetland
WO -2 located in off -site mitigation area OM -2.
Wetland W -1 (2.07 acres; on Quarry property)
This wetland is surrounded by an agricultural drainage ditch and portions of the outer edge of the wetland
itself were excavated in the past and merge with the drainage ditch. Based on a review of historic aerial
photos and field observations, it appears the northeast corner of the wetland was once an upland. This
upland area acquired wetland characteristics due to surrounding agricultural grading (construction of
ditches, berms, row crop fields) which altered the area's hydrology. Wetland W -1 is primarily a willow marsh
dominated by coastal willows (willows) and lesser numbers of primrose willows. Brazilian pepper has
invaded portions of the wetland. Active agricultural manipulation of water levels in the adjacent row crop
fields and drainage ditches currently dictates the wetland's hydroperiod.
Relatively deep standing water can be present for significant periods when the area water table is allowed
to remain high.

Wetland W -2 (0.82 acres; on Quarry property)
Based on field observations and a review of historic aerial photographs, it is evident that this wetland is
entirely man -made and once was part of a larger upland area. It appears a depression of varying
topography was created in the past, possibly as borrow area for obtaining fill. This excavation lowered the
prior grade sufficiently to establish a hydrologic regime capable of supporting wetland plant species which
subsequently colonized the area.
This disturbed wetland is now dominated by a mixture of habitat types including shallow herbaceous marsh
(freshwater marsh), primrose willow marsh, herbaceous wet prairie, and Brazilian pepper. Exotic plant
species including cogon grass, torpedo grass, and Brazilian pepper have invaded a large portion of the
wetland and are the dominant cover in the freshwater marsh zones. The "wet prairie" zone is frequently
mown and contains domestic grasses. Portions of the other marsh zones are also occasionally mown.
Lower elevations in the wetland are inundated by shallow standing water during the peak of the wet season
whereas higher elevations are not inundated. The wetland's hydroperiod is largely determined by
manipulation of water levels in the nearby row crop fields and drainage ditches, although it also receives a
minimal amount of runoff from adjacent land.
Wetland W -3 (0.57 acres; on Quarry property)
This wetland is also entirely man -made. It was created from historic upland areas when the large berms that
surround the wetland were constructed along with the agricultural drainage ditches and row crop fields
beyond these berms. The closed depression formed during the process became a wetland that is now
completely dominated by dense Brazilian pepper. This small wetland's hydroperiod is completely dictated by
the active manipulation of water levels in the adjacent drainage ditches and row crop fields.
Wetland W -4 (5.11 acres; on Quarry property)
This wetland was previously cleared and grades were altered in portions of the wetland. It is immediately
bordered by previously cleared land followed by major agricultural drainage ditches and berms. The central
portion of the wetland contains a former willow marsh that now consists of a mixture of Brazilian pepper and
willows. The fringes of the wetland consist of a freshwater marsh and islands of Brazilian pepper. The open
herbaceous marsh zones are dominated by paragrass, an exotic species. Manipulation of water levels in the
nearby row crop fields and ditches heavily influence the wetland's hydroperiod. Relatively shallow standing
water can be present in the central depression for significant periods while the other wetland areas are more
infrequently inundated.
Wetland W -5 (2.38 acres; on Quarry property)
This wetland is completely surrounded by agricultural berms and drainage ditches. Indications are that the
central portion of the wetland, an area dominated by primrose willows, was historically a wetland but that the
surrounding portions were once uplands. Today, these outer portions of the wetland consist of areas of
dense Brazilian pepper, a small island of saw palmetto, and a scrub/shrub community dominated by an
admixture of shrubby species such as primrose willows and wax myrtle. The entire wetland can be
inundated for significant periods when the water table in the surrounding fields is allowed to remain high.
Similar to wetland W -1, this wetland's hydroperiod is controlled by the management of water levels in the
adjacent row crop fields and ditches.
Wetland WO -1 (20.19 acres within off -site mitigation area OM -1)
This expansive wetland extends well beyond the limits mapped in Exhibits 2 and 3. Wetlands identified on
these drawings as WO -17, 18, 19, and 20 are all merely projections from the off -site continuation of wetland
WO -1 (i.e. all are part of one contiguous wetland system). With the exception of the western willow marsh
area (depression mapped FLUCFCS 618 E1 and 6419 E2), the majority of that portion of wetland WO -1
contained within the limits of off -site mitigation area OM -1 appears to have formerly been native uplands.
This hypothesis is based on review of historic aerial photos, soils maps, and field observations. At one time,
Pagc 25 d 39

Revis March 20, 2008
most of the present day wetland excluding the willow marsh area was actively farmed and was an extension
of the existing row crop fields bordering the north and west sides of OM -1 as can be seen in Exhibit 8. The
row crop field formerly covering much of wetland WO -1 was active in 1973 but was abandoned sometime
between 1973 and 1980. Much of the perimeter berm and rim ditch of this field still remains within WO -1
(see areas mapped FLUCFCS 513, the remnant ditch, and FLUCFCS 743 E3, the remnant berm).
Large portions of wetland WO -1 situated between the remnant berm and the existing row crop fields may
not actually classify as a wetland. Water from the adjacent fields and ditches is pumped into this area via
two large throwout pumps. Indications are that this artificial water input may be the only reason wetland
characteristics (indicators) are present in this zone. The agricultural pumping would need to be discontinued
and water table levels monitored for a significant period to determine if much of WO -1 within OM -1 really
has adequate wetland hydrology under natural conditions. Since agricultural operations cannot be
discontinued presently, the suspect areas were mapped as wetlands anyway given the signs of inundation
and the plant species present combined with the lack of normal water table data.
Within OM -1, portions of wetland WO -1 outside the remnant agricultural berm were also previously cleared
and a segment is presently maintained as an access trail. Most of the area that was formerly a row crop
field is dominated by large, dense Brazilian pepper. Scattered native trees, palms, and shrubs are present
beyond this area and a few native trees have established themselves even in the former field zone.
Brazilian pepper has infested much of the outer fringe while exotics such as torpedograss and West Indian
marsh grass are present in the cleared trail area. At the far south tip of OM -1, there is another small berm
that partially blocks flow into and out of the freshwater marsh area immediately south of the berm beyond
the limits of OM -1. This berm, covered by Brazilian pepper, is mapped as a small polygon of FLUCFCS
6192 D on the southern border of OM -1 (see Exhibits 2 and 3).
Wetiand WO -2 (6.04 acres within off -site mitigation area OM -2)
All of wetland WO -2 is contained within the limits of off -site mitigation area OM -2. The wetland is bordered
on the west by an area containing pine flatwoods and woodland pasture, on the north by a sliver of remnant
pine flatwoods followed by row crop fields, on the south by row crop fields, and on the east by native forests
that continue far to the east. The wetland itself is largely an herbaceous marsh but also includes small areas
dominated by primrose willow and Brazilian pepper. Some of the open marsh areas are heavily infested with
exotics that include torpedo grass and alligator weed along with scattered Brazilian pepper. A north /south
band mapped as FLUCFCS 6192 D bisects the wetland (see Exhibits 2 and 3). This mapped area, covered
by Brazilian pepper, contains two drainage ditches that merge together along with small upland berms along
the outer ditch edges. A large throwout pump extending from the row crop fields north of the wetland
previously discharged water into the ditch and the wetland, but this pump was abandoned at some time in
the past. This location is still apparently used, however, to discharge water from the fields using moveable
throwout pumps. A second throwout pump extends into the wetland from the row crop fields south of the
wetland. This pump appears to be used occasionally to discharge water from the fields into the wetland.
Historic sheetflow into the wetland was long ago blocked by construction of the surrounding fields, berms,
and ditches. Limited runoff from small upland areas bordering the wetland still reaches the wetland, but its
hydroperiod is affected by the way water levels in the nearby crop fields and ditches are manipulated. The
agricultural pumping into the wetland disrupts and significantly alters the "normal' hydroperiod. The ditches
and berms bisecting the wetland also interfere with flow within the wetland. The marsh areas can be
inundated by shallow standing water for significant periods during the peak of the wet season.
ii. Determine seasonal and historic high water levels utilizing lichen lines or other biological
indicators. Indicate how the project design improves /affects predevelopment hydroperiods. Provide
a narrative addressing the anticipated control elevation(s) for the site.
Ecologists estimated the existing seasonal high water table (SHWT) elevation in each of the wetlands on
the Quarry property and in each of the wetlands in the OM Areas. The existing SHWT was estimated based
on various physical and biological indicators such as water stains, drift lines, tussocks, adventitious rooting,
Page 26 d 18

Revised'March 20, 2W8
buttressed tree trunks, lichen lines, etc. An elevation marker was established in the wetlands and the
elevation of each marker was later determined using standard survey methods. Table 7 provides the
estimated SHWT elevations determined, which ranged from 20.1 feet to 21.8 feet NAVD 88.
Former historic SHWT elevations were essentially impossible to gage in the wetlands present on project
lands. The hydroperiods in these wetlands has been altered by farming activities for so long that signs of
the historic high water levels have vanished or are so faint and /or variable that they could not be estimated
with sufficient certainty. In other off -site wetlands at a greater distance from the project lands, there were
some faint signs that the regional historic SHWT found in wetlands may have been about 0.5 feet higher
than current SHWT levels.
One must remember that the existing SHWT elevations determined for wetlands on the Quarry property do
not necessarily reflect a "natural" hydroperiod. The water levels in these wetlands are governed by how the
area water table is regulated in the surrounding agricultural fields. Water levels in the wetlands within the
OM Areas are also affected by how the water table is managed in the nearby fields. In off -site wetland WO-
O and significant portions of off -site wetland WO -1 typical high water levels are skewed by discharges of
water (pumping) from the adjacent fields into the wetland.
To better evaluate what the "normal" wetland SHWT might be and assess the regional SHWT, staff also
estimated the existing SHWT elevation in other off -site wetlands. These wetland areas and their estimated
SHWT elevations in feet NAVD were: WO -1, area in southeast tip, = 20.1; WO -6 = 20.9 (influenced by
pumping into area); WO -8 = 20.8 (probably most natural); WO -12 = 20.6 (potential for some influence by
pumping); WO -14 = 20.0 or slightly higher. The average SHWT elevation for the 5 wetlands on the Quarry
property was 21.2 feet NAVD while the average SHWT elevation for all 13 wetlands where the SHWT was
estimated was 20.8 feet NAVD. The SHWT elevations in wetlands where the seasonal high water levels
were deemed to be least influenced by the agricultural operations ranged from about 20.0 to about 20.8 feet
NAVD.
Based on these data, the control elevation for the Quarry project's on -site stormwater management system
was designed to be 21.0 feet NAVD 88. This elevation was considered to mimic the area's SHWT in a
manner quite similar to current conditions, to reflect current SHWT elevations allowed to occur in the Quarry
property's row crop fields (based on various on -site indicators in addition to the wetland estimates), and to
be sufficiently high that it certainly would not result in any lowering of the average high water levels that
naturally occur in nearby off -site wetlands. It is emphasized, however, that the currently anticipated control
elevation of 21.0' may be adjusted somewhat during the final design process and /or during the ERP
permitting process. For example, further engineering design of the Quarry's stormwater management
system, including running more detailed stormwater models, may indicate that it is desirable to lower the
control elevation slightly in a portion of the Quarry property to allow more discharge into the wetlands found
in the OM Areas if this is needed to help enhance the wetlands' hydroperiods.
The proposed control elevation for the project lakes will be such that the on -site stormwater management
system will not adversely impact natural hydroperiods in off -site wetlands. Final design of the on -site lakes
and control structures will comply with the lake- wetland separation standards set forth in Section 6.12 of
SFWMD's Environmental Resource Permit Basis of Review (BOR). This will ensure that the hydraulic
gradient between on -site lakes and off -site wetlands will not lower the natural seasonal high water
elevations that occur in the off -site wetlands. The project's stormwater management system design will also
comply with the requirements of Section 4.2.2.4 of SFWMD's BOR. This will ensure that the quantity of
water that outfalls (discharges) into any off -site wetlands will not over - inundate the wetlands.
Construction of the proposed quarry excavation pits and subsequent lakes will gradually phase out the
agricultural throwout pumps. Many of these pumps discharge large quantities of water from on -site row crop
fields into several off -site wetlands, adversely affecting the natural wetland hydroperiod and degrading
water quality. Stormwater outfalls from the proposed quarry pit lakes have been designed and located to
appropriately discharge water into certain off -site wetlands. Following significant rainfall events during the
wet season, water levels in the quarry pit lakes will stage above the control elevation and flow into wetlands
WO -1, WO -2, WO -6, and WO -24 (see Exhibit 6). It is anticipated that such discharges will help enhance the
hydroperiod in wetlands WO -1 and WO -2. The discharge into wetland WO -6 (the existing agricultural water

retention area) may not enhance this wetland's hydroperiod significantly, but should adequately compensate
for the lost water inputs currently generated by throwout pumps. It is anticipated that discharges from the
on -site lakes into wetland WO -24 may indeed help enhance this large wetland's hydroperiod since it
presently receives limited water from the existing row crop fields to the north. The timing of water discharges
from the proposed on -site lakes to off -site wetlands will more closely mimic natural upland runoff inputs
compared to current agricultural pumping. For example, the greatest discharges from pumping typically
occur shortly after or at the end of the wet season when fields are made ready for planting by de- watering
the fields. Flows from the proposed lakes will discharge more periodically during the course of the wet
season.
iii. Indicate the proposed percent of defined wetlands to be impacted and the effects of proposed
impacts on the functions of these wetlands. Provide an exhibit showing the location of wetlands to
be impacted and those to be preserved on -site. Describe how impacts to wetlands have been
minimized.
Development of the proposed Quarry project will impact (eliminate) all the existing wetlands on the Quarry
property, hence no wetlands will preserved on -site (i.e. no wetlands preserved within the Quarry property
boundary). The impacted wetlands are W -1 through W -5 which total 10.95 acres. Exhibit 7 illustrates the
wetlands that will be impacted. Table 5 provides the existing habitat types (FLUCFCS map units) occurring
in the wetlands to be impacted.
The proposed mitigation program for the Quarry project will include preservation and enhancement of a total
of 26.23 acres of existing wetlands within the boundaries of the two off -site mitigation areas. This program
also includes restoring /creating an additional 1.54 acres of wetlands in the OM Areas that presently do not
exist. Thus, following completion of mitigation, a total of approximately 27.77 acres of wetlands will be
_ preserved in the OM Areas. The proposed mitigation program is further discussed in Section E.iv below.
Test borings gathered during the planning stages of this project indicated that viable deposits of limestone
are present in areas extending well beyond the proposed Hogan Island Quarry property boundary. Initially,
the boundary of the area to be mined covered a greater area than is now proposed in order to these
additional limestone beds. The original quarry area boundary generated would have resulted in impacting
additional wetlands situated above desirable limestone areas. This plan would have eliminated (impacted)
all of wetlands WO -2 (6.04 acres), WO -4 (0.52 acres), WO -5 (0.74 acres), and WO -25 (1.98 acres) in
addition to the impacts currently proposed. It would have also impacted approximately 8.0 acres of wetland
WO -1 in the region now proposed as off -site mitigation area OM -1.
Altogether, the original quarry plan would have impacted a total of approximately 30.71 acres of existing
wetlands.
Subsequent iterations of the quarry plan were made to avoid and minimize wetland impacts. This was
accomplished by revising the Quarry property boundary (mine area boundary) such that all the original
impacts to wetlands WO -1 through WO -5 and wetland WO -25 were completely eliminated. This effort
reduced the total project wetland impacts from 30.71 acres to the 10.95 acres now proposed — a 36%
reduction in the project's wetland impacts.
The anticipated layout of the Quarry project's development features will minimize potential secondary
impacts to off -site wetlands by providing an appropriate buffer between the development features and the
proximal wetlands. Exhibit 6 illustrates that the project will provide an undeveloped buffer or "setback" at
least 50 feet wide between site development features and off -site wetlands. Note that where the future
quarry excavation pits (ultimate lakes) will be located, the distance between the edge of the quarry
pits /lakes and the outer boundaries off -site wetlands will actually be significantly greater than 50 feet since
haul roads and the perimeter stormwater containment berm will lie between the pit /lake boundary and the
50 -foot wetland setback line.
During the construction and mining process, appropriate construction best management practices will be
employed to help protect water quality and minimize the discharge of sediments and /or turbid water from the
project site. The specific erosion /sediment/turbidity control methods and devices used will generally conform

with applicable standards and criteria set forth in the "FDER Florida Development Manual," Sections 6 -301
through 6 -500 (FDER. 1988. "The Florida Development Manual: A Guide to Sound Land and Water
Management," Chapter 6: "Storm Water and Erosion Control Best Management Practices for Developing
Areas; Guidelines for Using Erosion and Sediment Control Practices," ES BMP 1.01 -1.67. FDER,
Tallahassee, FL.).
iv. Indicate how the project design compensates for wetland impacts pursuant to the Policies and
Objectives in Goal 6 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the Growth
Management Plan. For sites in the RFMU district, provide an assessment, based on the South
Florida Water Management District's Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method, that has been
accepted by either the South Florida Water Management District or the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection. For sites outside the RFMU district, and where higher quality wetlands
are being retained on -site, provide justification based on the Uniform Mitigation Assessment
Method.
The proposed wetland impacts will be compensated by conducting mitigation activities in the two off -site
mitigation areas OM -1 and OM -2 as described below. An assessment of the wetland impacts and mitigation
program was conducted using the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) set forth in Chapter 62-
345, Florida Administrative Code. This assessment is provided in Table 8. Formulas utilized in the UMAM
assessment but not listed in Table 8 included:
UMAM Score = (Sum of Indicator Scores) / 30
Functional Loss (for impacted wetlands) = (UMAM score) x (acres of wetland)
Mitigation Functional Value Delta (Mitigation Delta) _ (UMAM score for post- mitigation conditions) —
(UMAM score for existing conditions)
Relative Functional Gain (RFG) = (Mitigation Delta) / [(time lag factor) x (risk factor)]
Net Functional Gain (of mitigation) = RFG x (acres of post- mitigation wetland)
The UMAM assessment indicates that the UMAM score for the five on -site wetlands to be impacted ranges
from 0.23 to 0.37 and that the total functional value of the 10.95 acres of wetlands to be impacted is 3.48.
Since all the on -site wetlands (i.e. W -1 through W -5) will be impacted, the value of the total wetland
functional loss that will occur as a result of the project's wetland impacts is also 3.48. The UMAM
assessment further indicates that the net functional gain, or "lift ", that will result from conducting the
proposed off -site mitigation activities is projected to be 3.94. Since the net increase in wetland functional
values derived from the mitigation program (3.94) exceeds the wetland functional values that will be lost as
a result of the project's wetland impacts (3.48), the proposed project wetland mitigation program will fully
compensate for the proposed project wetland impacts. The UMAM assessment indicates the Quarry project
will not result in any net loss of wetland functions. Instead, this assessment indicates there will be a net
increase in wetland functions that will result from the off -site mitigation program.
The off -site mitigation program will involve conducting wetland enhancement, restoration, and creation
activities and enhancement of uplands within the two off -site mitigation areas designated OM -1 and OM -2.
The two off -site mitigation areas total 32.47 acres, with OM -1 encompassing 22.77 acres and OM -2
encompassing 9.70 acres. Exhibit 9 contrasts existing conditions (existing FLUCFCS) present in these
areas with proposed conditions (proposed FLUCFCS) in these areas following completion of the mitigation
program. Table 9 lists the extent of each habitat type (FLUCFCS mapping units; vegetation associations)
currently present in OM -1 while Table 10 lists the extent of each habitat type anticipated following
completion of mitigation. Tables 11 and 12 provide the extent of existing habitat types found in OM -2 and
the extent of proposed post- mitigation habitat types in OM -2. respectively.
Major components of the anticipated mitigation activities in OM -1 include:
• Eradication and control of Category 1 and 2 invasive exotics identified in the Florida Exotic Pest Plant
Council's (EPPC) "List of Invasive Species ", in general accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.g.ii.
• Eradication and control of nuisance plant species as necessary (target control likely <10% cover by
nuisance species). As used herein, "nuisance" plant species are native plants (excludes plants listed as
invasive exotics) that tend to colonize disturbed areas rapidly and thus can out - compete desirable native

species. Examples include cattail, dog fennel, ragweed, and grapevine.
• Grading (mainly excavating) the area shown as FLUCFCS 641 and 631 in the Exhibit 9 post- mitigation
drawing to form a depression of varying topography. Subsequent planting of 641 area with native
herbaceous species to establish a freshwater marsh. Subsequent planting of 631 area with native
wetland shrubs and possibly a few small trees to form a scrub /shrub island.
• Lowering the existing grade slightly in various portions of the areas shown as FLUCFCS 617, 624, and
630 in the Exhibit 9 post- mitigation drawing. Retain the existing desirable native trees and palms in these
areas where feasible. Subsequent planting of native wetland trees, shrubs, and ground cover species to
establish wetland forest communities including mixed wetland hardwoods (FLUCFCS 617), pine -
cypress- cabbage palm (FLUCFCS 624), and mixed wetland hardwoods and conifers (FLUCFCS 630;
conifers mainly slash pine).
• Removal of the existing remnant drainage ditch (pre- mitigation FLUCFCS 513) during the grading
process, thereby restoring 0.56 acres that is presently other surface waters to wetlands.
• Removal of the existing remnant perimeter berm (pre- mitigation FLUCFCS 743 E3) during the grading
process, thereby creating 0.69 acres of wetlands from this existing upland feature.
• Removal of the existing small berm present within the pre- mitigation polygon shown as FLUCFCS 6192
D located at the far south end of OM -1.
• Lowering the grade as necessary in the area shown as post- mitigation FLUCFCS 416, which is presently
a cleared portion of the adjacent agricultural field's perimeter berm. Subsequent planting of native upland
trees (mainly slash pine), shrubs, and ground cover species to establish a narrow forested upland buffer.
• Substantially improving the existing wetland hydroperiod through: discontinuation of current agricultural
pumping into the wetland that currently "short circuits" the normal hydroperiod (will also improve water
quality); lowering existing grades as described above; removal of the remnant agricultural ditch and berm
which block flows; removal of the small southern berm which blocks flows; providing a better hydraulic
connection to the continuation of wetland WO -1 south and east of the boundaries of OM -1; providing
water inputs via controlled discharge from the proposed adjacent quarry lakes (via outfall control
structures CS 4 and CS 5).
Major components of the anticipated mitigation activities in OM -2 include:
• Eradication and control of Category 1 and 2 invasive exotics identified in the EPPC's "List of Invasive
Species ", in general accordance with LDC 3.05.07.H.1.g.ii.
• Eradication and control of nuisance plant species as necessary (target control likely <10% cover by
nuisance species).
• Removal (through grading) of the existing berms and ditches that run through the area shown as
FLUCFCS 6192 D in the Exhibit 9 existing conditions (pre- mitigation) drawing. Finished grade will mimic
existing elevations found in the adjacent, undisturbed freshwater marsh.
• Lowering the grade in the western portion of the existing area mapped FLUCFCS 422 D to form a
wetland from this upland area now composed of scattered spoil mounds. This will create approximately
0.29 acres of wetlands from the existing uplands.
• Following initial eradication /removal of invasive exotics, removal of the ditch /berm system, and grading
to create wetlands, plant native herbaceous wetland species as necessary (i.e. basically complete re-
planting of graded areas and areas now dominated by exotics combined with supplemental plantings as
needed in areas where existing exotic infestations are relatively low). Post- mitigation wetland will consist
of a freshwater marsh along with a shallower wet prairie area on the eastern fringe of the wetland.
• Lowering the existing grade as necessary in the area shown as post- mitigation FLUCFCS 434. This area
presently includes portions of the adjacent agricultural field berm plus other disturbed uplands.
• Subsequent planting of native upland trees, shrubs, and ground cover species to establish a narrow
forested upland buffer (mixed upland conifers and hardwoods).
• As necessary, plant native upland trees, shrubs, and /or ground cover species in the upland areas
mapped post- mitigation FLUCFCS 411 and 428, in order to fill larger "gaps" left in these areas following
the initial removal of invasive exotics (mainly Brazilian pepper).
• Significantly improving the existing wetland hydroperiod through: discontinuation of current agricultural
pumping into the wetland that currently "short circuits" the normal hydroperiod (will also improve water
quality); removal of the remnant agricultural ditches and berms which disrupt flow within the wetland and
drains it during low water conditions; providing water inputs via controlled discharge from the proposed
adjacent quarry lakes (via outfall control structure CS 6).

The off -site mitigation areas will be protected via placing them in a conservation easement required by the
County pursuant to LDC 3.05.07.H.t.d. It is anticipated that these areas will also be protected by placing
them in a separately recorded conservation easement pursuant to requirements of state and federal
permitting agencies. These off -site mitigation areas will be buffered by and largely contained within a future
Stewardship Sending Area (SSA) as illustrated in Exhibit 10. The owner of these lands is in the process of
preparing an SSA application for the indicated area and it is anticipated that this application will be
submitted to Collier County by the end of this year. All of off -site mitigation area OM -1 and approximately
3.7 acres of OM -2 are currently designated for inclusion within the future SSA. The majority of OM -1 is
designated as a Habitat Stewardship Area as is the eastern 3.7 acres of OM -2. Off -site mitigation area OM-
2 will also be buffered on its western and northern sides by 12.77acre Preserve area (native vegetation
preserve) proposed on the Quarry property (see Exhibit 9). The on -site preserve, OM -1, and OM -2 share
certain common boundaries thereby really forming one contiguous preserve area that encompasses over 45
acres.
The proposed off -site mitigation program will significantly increase the quality of the Habitat Stewardship
Areas contained within the mitigation area boundaries and will also indirectly benefit adjacent HSA, WRA,
and FSA areas. This program will also substantially increase the panther habitat value of the lands
contained within the OM Areas. Both off -site mitigation areas are contained within a broader area classified
as Primary Zone panther habitat conservation lands. Other listed species, particularly listed wading birds,
we also derive benefits from the increase in habitat quality resulting from the mitigation program.
It is noted that the specific layout /design of the off -site mitigation program illustrated in Exhibit 9 represents
the current conceptual design. Certain modifications may be made to specific design components during the
final design process. Other modifications may be required by FDEP or USACE during the permitting
process. Specific details of the mitigation program (such as grading plans, planting plans, success criteria,
monitoring program, etc.) will be developed and refined during the final design and permitting stage of the
project.

F. SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT
Provide an overall description of the proposed water management system explaining how it works,
the basis of design, historical drainage flows, off -site flows coming in to the system and how they
will be incorporated in the system or passed around the system, positive outfall availability, Wet
Season Water Table and Dry Season Water Table, and how they were determined, and any other
pertinent information pertaining to the control of storm and ground water.
The Quarry property is currently being used as agricultural lands, and has been in agricultural production for
years if not decades. The existing vested agricultural operations obtain groundwater for irrigation through
permitted wells located on site. Water table elevations during the growing season are closely maintained
through the use of pump out facilities. These facilities discharge to an off -site water impoundment area, to
internal field ditches, and to off -site wetland and upland areas. Exhibit 4 illustrates the approximate locations
of existing wells and pumps (throwout pumps). The agricultural use will be converted to be a mining use.
There are no significant off -site flows entering the site since the entire proposed excavation site is largely
isolated from off site flows by the existing farming berms and associated agricultural operations.
The conceptual water management design proposes a control elevation (WSWT) for the site consistent with
the biological indicators marked by Wilson Miller and surveyed by SurvTech Inc. The proposed control
elevation is 21.0 feet NAVD 88. The dry season water table (DSWT) is estimated to be about 4 feet below
the control elevation, at approximately 17 feet NAVD 88.
The design includes a water management isolation berm around the entire drainage area at or above the
25 -year storm stage elevation. The 25 year and 100 year storm stage elevations were obtained using XP-
SWMM software. An elevation of 21.63 feet NAVD 88 was obtained for the 25 -year storm stage elevation,
- and an elevation of 21.92 feet NAVD 88 was obtained for the 100 -year storm stage elevation.
Rainfall runoff which accumulates inside the project perimeter water management isolation berm will be
detained in the large excavation areas and, after the appropriate treatment in accordance with state and
federal regulations, there may be controlled off -site discharge of the treated stormwater. It is anticipated that
off -site discharges of treated stormwater will be allowed by regulatory agencies since this will benefit off -site
wetlands. This will be determined during the more detailed environmental resource permitting process.
Should off site discharges be restricted, the project can be designed with no off site discharge or very
limited off site discharge in accordance with the Environmental Resource Permit obtained from the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection, The vast amount of storage provided by the excavated areas will
easily accommodate a zero or minimal discharge design with limited modifications to the conceptual design.
The conceptual site plan provided as Exhibit 6 also depicts the proposed project's stormwater management
system and post - development drainage patterns on and off -site. In the southern portion of the Quarry
property, runoff from the area containing the proposed aggregate processing facility, product stockpile
areas, the asphalt batch plant, offices and other structures, and parking areas will drain to the tailings pond
for treatment and attenuation. The tailings pond will also receive process water from the aggregate
processing facility and will serve as a source of process water for this facility (water is recirculated). The
tailings pond will discharge into one of the quarry pit lakes via an outtall pipe equipped with a control
structure (shown as CS #1 in Exhibit 6).
As previously discussed, the northern portion of the project site shown in Exhibit 6 as "lake" and "maximum
excavation area" represents the maximum footprint of the area that will be mined. The completed
excavation pits in this zone will ultimately form an estimated 3 to 7 separate large stormwater management
lakes rather than the single "lake" illustrated. These lakes will be separated by upland areas but will be
hydraulically connected to one another by drainage pipes and /or drainage swales. The conceptual design
calls for certain pit lakes to outfall to various off -site wetlands via drainage pipes with control structures.
Runoff within the mining area will first flow into the pit lakes for treatment and attenuation. The perimeter
stormwater berm proposed will ensure that all runoff is contained within the mining area.

Re, i,cecrMarch 20, 2008
Outfalls at control structures CS 2 and CS 3 are proposed to discharge into the existing agricultural water
retention area labeled as "WO -6" since this retention area encompasses a large off -site wetland.
Flow from the water retention area ultimately outfalls to the off -site wetland WO -11 when stages in the
retention area are sufficiently high. The outfall at control structure CS 7 is proposed to discharge into off -site
wetland WO -24 which should help enhance the wetland's hydroperiod since today it receives limited inputs
from crop fields to the north. Flow within this wetland is generally toward the south; however the overall
wetland appears to be a depression that does not discharge to other areas. The outfall at control structure
CS 6 is proposed to discharge into off -site wetland W -2. This water input should significantly enhance the
wetland's current hydroperiod. The wetland itself is an isolated depression; hence there is no real flow out of
the wetland into adjacent uplands. The outfalls at control structures CS 4 and CS 5 are proposed to
discharge into off -site wetland WO -1. That portion of wetland WO -1 contained within the proposed off -site
mitigation area OM -1 has a severely degraded hydroperiod. Water inputs from the quarry lakes should
significantly improve this hydroperiod as part of the mitigation program. Once water levels are sufficiently
high, flow from the mitigation area portion of WO -1 can generally drain toward the east into the continuation
of this large wetland system.
The on -site preserve proposed will not be incorporated into the project's stormwater management system.
The perimeter stormwater berm constructed around the quarry area will accomplish this segregation. Even
though the preserve will not receive runoff from the adjacent mining area, this condition will not aversely
affect the upland preserve since it already receives no runoff from the crop fields that border the preserve
on three sides. Runoff in the preserve today and following project construction is generally toward off -site
wetland WO -2.
Most of the area contained within the boundary of the area to be mined consists of active row crop fields.
Farming will continue in these fields where feasible during the mining process. The internal agricultural
drainage system will be adjusted as necessary to support the row crop field areas not displaced by mining
pits. Crop fields will gradually be eliminated as the active mining area continues to expand until no
agricultural fields will remain on the Quarry property.
Some of the on -site row crop fields and pastures presently continue onto off -site lands. These adjacent off -
site lands are all under the same ownership as the Quarry property. This landowner will modify the
agricultural drainage ditches, roadways, and berms as needed on the off -site lands to allow existing
agricultural practices to continue and drainage to flow properly.
The overburden and limestone present in the mining area will be mined "in the wet" (i.e. water table is not
lowered within the main mining pit).
The large mining pit lakes created through the mining process will not adversely impact the hydroperiod of
off -site wetlands or adversely impact the regional water table. The water table elevation in the lakes will
typically reflect that of the regional water table and thereby maintain ambient natural water table levels. The
future lakes should potentially make more water available to off -site wetlands by creating large water
storage areas that help recharge the surficial aquifer. In this manner, the lakes will function similar to Water
Retention Area overlays prescribed in the RLSA. The control elevation for the lakes has been established to
ensure the lakes do not adversely affect wetland hydoperiods and the stormwater management design will
comply with Sections 4.2.2.4, 6.11, and 6.12 of SFWMD's Environmental Resource Permit Basis of Review.
A past study conducted for a similar Rinker mining operation in a similar agricultural setting determined that
mining activities actually improved the site water balance compared to pre- mining conditions (reference:
The Colinas Group, Inc. 2004. Hydrologic and hydrogeologic report, Lake Wales sand mine expansion.
Colinas Group, Lakeland, FL). The pre- mining conditions on the study site consisted of citrus groves and
pastures. The pre- mining conditions produced a net deficit water balance (i.e. precipitation inputs minus
losses from evapotranspiration /evaporation, surface runoff, and ground water pumping). The post- mining
conditions created a surplus water balance, primarily due to the elimination of agricultural ground water
pumping and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in surface runoff. Since the pre- mining conditions present on
the Quarry property are similar to the pre- mining conditions of the site involved in the study, the proposed
project may also improve the water balance for the project area. The proposed project will eliminate the

current agricultural ground water pumping and will somewhat decrease site runoff similar to the site involved
in the study.
ii. Provide an analysis of potential water quality impacts of the project by evaluating water quality
loadings expected from the project (post development conditions considering the proposed land
uses and stormwater management controls) compared with water quality loadings of the project
area as it exists in its pre - development conditions. This analysis is required for projects impacting
five (5) or more acres of wetlands. The analysis shall be performed using methodologies approved
by Federal and State water quality agencies.
The applicant is designing and permitting the proposed project in accordance with the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection and South Florida Water Management District regulations for Environmental
Resource Permitting and design. The conceptual project and stormwater management design prepared for
this conditional use application is consistent with the aforementioned criteria. The design uses the best
management practices specified by the State of Florida to provide the required reasonable assurances that
the project will not adversely affect off site waters with respect to quality and quantity.
RWA, Inc. performed a water quality loading analysis for the proposed project, comparing the estimated
pre - development (existing) loadings of nitrogen and phosphorous to the estimated post - development
loadings of these nutrients. The analytical calculations employed are commonly referred to as the "Harvey
Harper" analysis, which is based on methodologies contained in "Evaluation of Alternative Stormwater
Regulations for Southwest Florida' (Environmental Research and Design, Inc., August 2003) and "Urban
Hydrology for Small Watersheds (TR55)" (USDA, June 1986). This water quality loading analysis is
provided as Attachment 1 in Appendix C.
The results of the analysis indicate that the total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorous (TP) presently
contained in site runoff will be substantially decreased as a result of the proposed project (ex. pre -
development TN = 3,460 kg /yr and TP = 765 kg /yr; post - development TN = 549 kg /yr and TP = 70 kg /yr).
Essentially all the post - development on -site runoff will flow into on -site lakes for treatment and attenuation.
The analysis indicates that 100% of the TN and TP loadings generated by the Quarry project will be
removed by the Quarry lakes prior to any discharges.
iii. Identify any Wellfield Risk Management Special Treatment Overlay Zones (WRM -ST) within the
project area and provide an analysis for how the project design avoids the most intensive land uses
within the most sensitive WRM -STs.
Not applicable. There are no Wellfield Risk Management Special Treatment Overlay Zones (WRM -STs) that
cover any of the project lands and there are no WRM -STs in the immediate vicinity of the project lands.

G. LISTED SPECIES
I. Provide a plant and animal species survey to include at a minimum, listed species known to inhabit
biological communities similar to those existing on -site, and conducted in accordance with the
guidelines of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service. State actual survey times and dates, and provide a map showing the location(s) of species
of special status identified on -site.
A thorough survey for listed animal and plant species was conducted on the project lands by WilsonMiller
ecologists. This listed species survey and its results are discussed in Section 3 of Appendix B. Exhibit 14
shows the approximate locations where listed animal species were observed on and near the project lands
during the course of the referenced survey. The listed animal species observed on project lands by
WilsonMiller included American alligator, little blue heron, snowy egret, tricolored heron, wood stork, and
Florida sandhill crane. Other than some alligators, none of the observed listed animal species reside or nest
on the project lands. No listed plant species were found on the project lands.
A survey of portions of the Quarry property was conducted by Passarella & Associates (see Appendix B1).
This survey focused on searching for caracaras and their nests but other wildlife, including listed species,
were documented during the course of the survey. The only listed animal species observed on the Quarry
property during the Passarella survey were wood storks, sandhill cranes, and white ibis.
H. Identify all listed species that are known to inhabit biological communities similar to those existing
on the site or that have been directly observed on the site.
Listed animal species observed on the project lands by WilsonMiller are discussed in Section 3.4.2 of
Appendix B. Other listed animal species that have some potential for occurring in certain habitats present on
project lands are discussed in Section 3.4.4 of Appendix B. It is highly unlikely that any listed plant species
could be present on the project lands, as discussed in Section 3.4.6 of Appendix B. Exhibit 13 illustrates the
approximate locations of listed animal species previously documented by others in the general vicinity of the
Quarry site. These listed species records and the source of these records are also discussed in Section 3 of
Appendix B.
Listed animal species observed on the Quarry property by Passarella & Associates, subsequent to
WilsonMiller's listed species surveys, are identified in Appendix B1. The few listed species observed are
noted in the Observation Forms contained in the Passarella survey report.
iii. Indicate how the project design minimizes impacts to species of special status. Describe the
measures that are proposed as mitigation for impacts to listed species.
Project impacts to habitats potentially utilized by certain listed wading birds were reduced by adjusting the
original mining plan to avoid impacts to various wetlands now situated off -site (see Section E.iii). Impacts to
various listed wading birds, sandhill cranes, and alligators that may periodically visit the project site (for
foraging or other activities) along with impacts to resident alligators will be minimized by taking appropriate
protection measures during project construction and operations activities (see Section G.iv).
Following completion of the proposed mining activities, it is presently estimated that the lakes formed on -site
by the excavation pits will occupy from 600 to 700 acres. Quarry reclamation activities will likely include
planting lake shorelines with a variety of native littoral zone species in accordance with mine reclamation
requirements specified in Chapter 62C -36, Florida Administrative Code. These post - reclamation quarry
lakes will provide desirable habitats for listed wading bird foraging and for alligators, thereby helping offset
the project's proposed impacts to habitats currently utilized by these species.
The proposed off -site mitigation activities will also help mitigate project impacts to existing on -site habitats
frequented by listed wading birds. Wetland enhancement, restoration, and creation activities performed in
the OM Areas will significantly improve the current wetland habitat value. Establishment of the large
herbaceous marsh area within off -site mitigation area OM -1 (see Exhibit 9) will create suitable nesting

habitat for Florida sandhill cranes whereas no such habitats really exist currently on the Quarry property.
Primary Zone and Secondary Zone panther habitat conservation overlays encompass the Quarry property
as discussed in Appendix B and illustrated in Exhibit 13, although no Florida panthers have ever been
documented on project lands. Development of the Quarry will impact these panther habitat conservation
zones. Even though the affected areas currently have limited panther habitat value, it is anticipated that the
US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will require mitigation for the proposed impacts.
An appropriate Section 404 permit will be required from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) to
conduct the mitigation activities proposed in the project's off -site mitigation areas. Applying for this permit
will most likely include engaging in the Section 7 consultation process with the FWS. The necessary
mitigation for the project's impacts to panther habitats and the specifics of the mitigation will be determined
as part of the consultation with FWS. It is probable that mitigation will take the form of protecting and
managing privately owned lands (areas designated as FSAs, HSAs, and WRAs) located within the future
Stewardship Sending Area (SSA) proposed adjacent to the Quarry property (see Exhibit 10 and discussion
in Section E.iv). This form of panther habitat mitigation has been previously approved by FWS for other
projects in the region. Mitigation for project impacts to panther habitat conservation zones could include
other measures recommended by the FWS. However, it is premature to accurately predict the ultimate
panther habitat mitigation program at this conceptual planning stage of the project.
iv. Provide habitat management plans for each of the listed species known to occur on the property.
For sites with bald eagle nests and /or nest protection zones, bald eagle management plans are
required, copies of which shall be included as exhibits attached to the PUD documents, where
applicable.
Attachment 2 in Appendix C provides a protection plan (management plan) for the listed species that were
documented utilizing the project lands and for some additional listed wading birds.
v. Where applicable, include correspondence received from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FFWCC) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), with regards to the project.
Explain how the concerns of these agencies have been met.
Copies of the original EIS submitted for this project were distributed to the FWC and FWS by County staff in
late January 2007. FWC staff attended a field tour of the project lands on 2/14/07. We are also aware of a
09/18/07 letter that FWC staff wrote to County staff regarding this project. The applicant met with FWC staff
in December to also discuss this project and address concerns that FWC had put forth in their September
letter. The main issues discussed during the applicant's meeting with FWC staff were maintaining
connectivity along the known wildlife corridors and minimizing indirect impacts to adjacent areas. As a
result of the December meeting, FWC staff wrote another letter to County staff asking that their previous
letter of 09/18/07 be disregarded. The January 18, 2008 letter (incorrectly dated 2007) is included as
Attachment 8. More intensive coordination with these agencies will be initiated after the conditional use
petition has been approved and the project moves into the final design and permitting stage. Buffers, hours
of operation, and phasing (or timing) of work efforts may be contemplated.

For multi -slip docking facilities with ten slips or more, and for all marina facilities, show how the
project is consistent with the marina siting and other criteria in the Manatee Protection Plan.
Not applicable. No docks, docking facilities, or marina facilities are proposed.
ii. Include the results of any environmental assessments and/or audits of the property. If applicable,
provide a narrative of the cost and measures needed to clean up the site.
An environmental assessment, commonly referred to as a Phase 1 environmental audit, of the Quarry
property was conducted by Seyfried & Associates, Inc. (reference: Seyfried & Associates, Inc. 2006.
"Environmental Assessment Report for Hogan Island Property, Oil Grade Road, North of CR 846,
Immokalee, Collier County, Florida "). A copy of this report is provided as Attachment 3 in Appendix C
(provided on CD). The assessment conducted did not find any indications of significant contamination on
the Quarry property, did not recommend any "clean up" or remediation activities be conducted on the
property, and concluded that, "No further environmental assessment activities are recommended at this
time."
iii. For sites located in the Big Cypress Area of Critical State Concern - Special Treatment (ACSCST)
overlay district, show how the project is consistent with the development standards and regulations
established for the ACSC -ST.
Not applicable. The project lands are not located within the boundary of the ACSC -ST.
iv. Soil sampling or ground water monitoring reports and programs shall he required for sites that
occupy old farm fields, old golf courses or for which there is a reasonable basis for believing that
there has been previous contamination on site. The amount of sampling and testing shall be
determined by the Environmental Services staff along with the Pollution Control Department and the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
As part of the environmental assessment (audit) conducted on the Quarry property (see Section H.ii), soil
samples were obtained from two agricultural chemical mixing areas located on the Quarry property. These
mixing areas are situated within the polygons mapped as FLUCFCS 271 at the far north end of the Quarry
property (see Exhibit 2). The collected samples were analyzed for concentrations of various organochlorine
pesticides and arsenic.
As documented in the environmental assessment report (see Attachment 3 in Appendix C), the analytical
results found no detectable concentrations of organochlorine pesticides in the soil samples. The arsenic
concentration found in one sample was 2.4 mg /kg while the arsenic concentration found in the other sample
was 3.0 mg /kg. Guideline soil cleanup target levels (CTLs) for arsenic in soils are set forth in Chapter 62-
777, Florida Administrative Code. These CTLS are targets for final concentrations in contaminated soils
following remediation efforts. The guideline target soil concentration for arsenic in residential land uses is
2.1 mg /kg. The guideline target concentration for arsenic in commercial /industrial land uses is 12 mg /kg.
One should note that these CTLs are established for cases where there may be significant direct exposure
to the soil itself. The proposed Quarry project does not include residential uses and is more closely
associated with a commercial or industrial type of usage. The soil concentrations of arsenic detected on -site
are well below the guideline CTL for arsenic in commercial /industrial land use settings and are not much
higher than the guideline CTL for arsenic in residential land use settings.
The property also has two abandoned, non producing (dry hole) wells on the property that were
plugged with FDEP approval. Since these are dry holes, plugged with multiple concrete plugs,

there is no danger of contamination. An additional producing well is located off -site to the north of
the property. This well located in Section 9 but it is not within the project boundaries. The Section 9
well is drilled to a depth of 10,000 feet and will not pose a contamination risk to the project.
v. Provide documentation from the Florida Master Site File, Florida Department of State and any
printed historic archaeological surveys that have been conducted on the project area. Locate any
known historic or archaeological sites and their relationships to the proposed project design.
Demonstrate how the project design preserves the historic /archaeological integrity of the site.
A letter was submitted to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (DHR)
requesting DHR to examine the Florida Master Site File for any previously recorded archaeological /historical
resources documented on the project lands. DHR responded in a letter dated 6/23/06 that the Florida
Master Site File listed no previously recorded cultural resources on the subject property. A copy of this letter
is provided as Attachment 5 in Appendix C.
WilsonMiller staff also reviewed the Collier County Long Range Planning Department's "Index Map of
Historical /Archaeological Probability of Collier County, Florida ", published on 5/5/01. These maps did not
show any historic structures, archaeological sites, or historic districts on the project lands. One "area of
historical /archaeological probability" was indicated on the Quarry property. This small (about 15 acres),
square- shaped area was depicted over a central part of the site that presently consists of active row crop
fields, a farm road, and drainage ditches. Based on a review of historic aerial photos, this area has existed
essentially in the same condition as it is today for at least the past 30 years or more. It is not known why this
particular area may have been mapped as an area of historical /archaeological probability since it has been
completely converted to farm fields, ditches, and roads for quite some time and no structures are present.
A cultural resource survey was performed on the project lands by Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (ACI).
Their survey found no archaeological sites or historical resources present on the project lands and ACI
concluded that the proposed project would not impact any significant cultural resources, as documented in
their report entitled "Cultural Resource Assessment Survey, Hogan Island Quarry, Collier County Florida"
(ACI, October 2006). A copy of ACI's report is provided as Attachment 4 in Appendix C (copy provided on
CD). In a letter dated 1/5/07, the State Historic Preservation Officer agreed with ACI's conclusions that the
proposed project will have no effect on cultural resources listed or eligible for listing in the National Register
of Historic Places. This letter, provided as Attachment 6 in Appendix C, also stated that no further cultural
resources investigations were warranted.
Given the above, it does not appear that development of the Hogan Island Quarry property will impact any
historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places or otherwise of
historical, architectural, or archaeological value. If a suspected archaeological or historical artifact is
discovered during the course of site development activities (construction, mining, clearing, etc.), the
development activities at the specific site will be immediately halted and the appropriate agency notified.
Development will be suspended for a sufficient length of time to enable the County or a designated
consultant to assess the find and determine the proper course of action. The County will respond to any
such notification in a timely and efficient manner so as to provide only a minimal interruption to the affected
development activity.

I. INTRODUCTION
TR Transportation Consultants, Inc. has conducted a traffic impact analysis for the
proposed conditional use application for the proposed Hogan Island Rock Mine. The
following report has been prepared in order to fulfill requirements set forth by the Collier
County Transportation Planning Department for projects seeking a conditional use
approval for mining operations. The site is located to the north of Immokalee Road at its
intersection with Oil Well Grade Road in Collier County, Florida. The site location is
1 illustrated on Figure 1.
Upon approval, the proposed operation will be zoned for the removal of 3.8 million tons
of rock and overburden material per year from the subject site. Additionally, the site will
also contain an asphalt plant that will generate approximately 625 tons of asphalt per day.
Access to Immokalee Road will be provided via the northern leg of Oil Well Grade Road.
The following report will examine the anticipated trip generation of the proposed
development and evaluate the impact the additional trips will have on the surrounding.
roadway network. This report has been completed in accordance to the criteria outlined
by the Collier County Transportation Planning Department.
1 II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
'Ile subject site is bordered on all four (4) sides by vacant land. Access to the subject site
will be provided via the existing Oil Well Grade Road.
Oil Well Grade Road is a two -lane local roadway in the vicinity of the proposed
i
development. Oil Well Grade Road extends south from the subject site, through
Immokalee Road, to its terminus to the south at Oil Well Road.
i
Immokalee Road is a two -lane arterial roadway from Oil Well Road to east of Oil Well
Grade Road. To the south and west of Oil Well Road, Immokalee Road is currently

being widened to a six -lane divided roadway. Immokalee Road has a posted speed Iimit
of 50 mph in the vicinity of the site and is under the jurisdiction of the Collier County
Transportation Department.
In order to gain a better understanding of the existing traffic conditions in the vicinity of
the subject site, TR Transportation performed turning movement counts on Immokalee
Road at its intersections with Oil Well Road and Oil Well Grade Road. The Immokalee
Road /Oil Well Road count was performed on March 28, 2006. The Immokalee Road/Oil
Well Grade Road count was performed on June 22, 2006. The results of these turning
movement counts can be found within the Appendix of this report for reference.
According to the Peak Season Factor Category Report within the 2004 FDOT Traffic
Information CD, March 28, 2006 is considered within the Peak Season conditions as the
peak season correction factor for this time period is less than 1.0 (0.99). Therefore, no
peak season correction was applied to this turning movement count. However, a peak
season factor was necessary for the Oil Well (made Roadllmmokalee Road turning
movement count performed on June 22, 2006. According to the FDOT data, a peak
season correction factor of 1.22 is appropriate for this time of the year. Therefore, the
honing movements were increased to reflect peak season conditions as illustrated Nvithin
Figure 2.
III. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Upon approval, the Hogan Island Rock Mine will be approved for a conditional use that
will allow the removal of 3.8 million tons of aggregate rock and overburden material
from the subject site. Furthermore, the subject site will also be approved for an asphalt
plant that will generate approximately 625 tons of asphalt per day. Table I indicates the
proposed conditional use for the Hogan Island Rock Mine,

,1
The trip generation for the proposed Hogan Island Rock Mine operation was calculated
based on the volume of material anticipated to be excavated over the course of a year,
approximately 3.8 million tons of aggregate rock and overburden material. The attached
table in the Appendix outlines the methodology used to determine the anticipated hourly
truck volume that would be generated should the conditional use be approved.
} Additionally, the trip generation of the asphalt plant trips are also indicated within the
Appendix for reference.
For the purposes of this analysis the bucking operation for the proposed Hogan Island
Rock Mine was assumed to operate for only 12 hours a day (5AM to 5PM). Some on -site
operations will take place 24 hours a day, but the off -site trucking will be restricted to the
12 hour schedule. Based on six (6) day work weeks, the site will operate for 310
days /year. The materials taken from the property and the corresponding amount of truck
trips that are generated are entirely a function of the demand for such materials. Currently
in Southwest Florida, there is a high demand for such materials associated with the
increase building and construction that is occurring. Should the demand for the materials
l decrease, so would the amount of material mined and the amount of truck traffic
generated.
In order to calculate the truck traffic on the subject site, the total material to be excavated
per year was factored by the amount of material a single truck can move in addition to the
number of days per year the excavating operation will take place and the number of hours
per day the trucking operation will take place. Therefore, the following calculation
Page 5
�j TRANSPORTATION
(S CONSULTANTS, INC.
Agenda Item No. 17D
July 22, 2008
Page 125 of 157
reflects the hourly truck traffic generated by the Hogan Island Rock Mine for the
excavation operation:
Trucks/Year = (3,800,000 tons /year) /(22 tons/truck)
Trucks/Year = 172,727 trucks /year
Trucks/Day = (172,727 trucks /year) /(310 days /year)
Trucks/Day = 557 trucks /day
i Trucks/Hour = (557 trucks/day) /(12 hours /day)
Trucks/Hour = 46 trucks/hour (must factor by 2 to obtain two -way trips)
In addition, the asphalt plant will also generate truck trips. The proposed asphalt plant
j will produce a final product to be shipped off site at a rate of 625 tons /day. Additionally,
asphalt material needs to be trucked onto the site. Liquid asphalt will be trucked onto the
} subject site three (3) times daily. Furthermore, coarse aggregate will be trucked onto the
J site at a rate of 105 tons /day. Finally, recycled asphalt product (RAP) will also be
trucked onto the subject site at a rate of 130 tons/day. In summary, the proposed asphalt
1
plant will result in an increase of traffic in accordance with the following calculation:
Asphalt Mix (Final Product)
Trucks/Day = (625 ions /day) /(20.2 tons /truck)
Trucks/Day = 31 trucks /day
Liquid Asphalt (AC)
Trucks/Day = 3 trucks /day
Friction Coarse Aggregate (Aggregate)
Trucks/Day = (25,000 tons /year) /((240 days /year)�(20.2 tons /truck)
Trucks/Day = 6 trucks /day
Recycled Asphalt Product (RAP)
Trucks/Day = (31,000 tons /year) /((240 days /year) *(20.2 tons /truck)
Trucks/Day = 7 trucks /day
Resultant Asphalt Plant Traffic
Total Trucks/Day = Asphalt Mix + AC+ Aggregate + RAP
Total Trucks/Day = (31 +3 +6 +7)trucks /day
Total Trucks/Day = 47 trucks /day *2 trips = 94 truck trips /day
Total Trucks/Hour = (94 truck trips /day) /(12 operating hours /day)
Total Tracks/Hour = 8 truck trips/hour

Table 2 outlines the anticipated weekday AM and PM peak hour trip generation for the
truck traffic generated by the proposed Hogan Island Rock Mine. The daily trip
generation is also indicated in the table. The truck hips were then adjusted based on the
passenger car equivalent factor as obtained from Exhibit 20 -9 from the 2000 edition of
the Highway Capacity Manual (copy included in the Appendix for reference).

1 According to information supplied by Rinker Materials, there will be 20 employees on
1 the subject site on a daily basis. These 20 employees will arrive for the 5AM shift and
jleave at 5PM upon completion of the trucking operation for the day. Therefore, the
i
employee traffic will only impact the P.M. peak hour of the adjacent street as the
employees arrive to the site during off -peak hours. Thus an additional 20 exiting
passenger car trips were assumed in the RM. peak hour. A minimal amount of additional
employees and/or vendors/visitors may be on site beyond these 20 employees at various
i
times throughout the day. Therefore, a 5% adjustment factor was applied to the total
passenger car equivalent traffic in order to account for any additional
employee /vendor /visitor traffic generated by the site. Table 3 indicates the anticipated
i
AM and PM peak hour trip generation of the Hogan Island Rock Mine as currently
proposed.

V. TRIP DISTRIBUTION
Based on discussions with Rinker Materials, the majority of the mining traffic will serve
various Rinker concrete plants in the Naples, Bonita Springs, and Immokalee areas. The
overburden material that will be produced on the subject site will be sold and distributed
to various construction projects in the area. The asphalt mix created on the subject site
will be used for several roadway improvements being performed in the area. Based on
the locations of the various concrete plants and the areas of highest growth in this area,
the site traffic was distributed to the adjacent roadway network based on the project
traffic distribution indicated within Figure 3. In addition, Figure 4 illustrates the site
traffic assignment for the proposed development to Immokalee Road.
VI. FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
In order to determine which roadway segments surrounding the site will be significantly
impacted, Table 1A, contained in the Appendix, was created. This table indicates which
roadway links will accommodate an amount of project traffic greater than the 3%-3%-5%
Significance Test. Therefore, the project traffic was compared with the Capacity for
Peak Hour — Peak Direction traffic conditions as defined by the most recent Collier
County Concurrency Spreadsheet. A copy of the most recent Collier County
Concurrency Spreadsheet is attached in the Appendix of this report for reference.

Based on the information contained within Table IA, only the two lane section of
hmnokalee Road between Oil Well Road and Everglades Boulevard is shown to sustain a
significant impact as a result of the added project traffic in accordance with the Collier
County 3 % -3 % -5% Significance Test. Therefore, concurrency link analysis was required
on this section of Immokalee Road.
j In addition to the significant impact criteria, Table 1A also includes a concurrency
{ analysis on the Collier County Roadway network. The current remaining capacity
j indicated within Table IA was taken from the aforementioned Collier County
f Concurrency Spreadsheet. The project traffic was then subtracted from the remaining
trips in order to determine the remaining capacity after the Hogan Island Rock Mine
1 traffic is added to the surrounding roadway network.
VII. PROJECTED CONCURRENCX AND I114PROWMENTS
Based upon the information contained within Table IA, sufficient capacity will be
available on Immokalee Road after the addition of the Hogan Island Rock Mine traffic.
Figure 5 indicates the remaining capacity on Immokalee Road based upon the existing
conditions as well as after the addition of the proposed dcvclopmcnt traffic. Since
sufficient capacity is shown on Immokalee Road, no roadway link improvements will be
required as a result of the added Hogan Island Rock Mine traffic.
Intersection analysis was performed at Immokalee Road's intersections with Oil Well
Grade Road and Oil Well Road as a result of the added Hogan Island Rock Mine traffic.
The site traffic indicated within Figure 4 was added to the 2006 peak season tuning
movements at these intersections indicated within Figure 2 in order to determine the
build -out turning movements at these locations. Figure 6 indicates the build -out turning
movements at the subj eat intersections as a result of the Hogan Island Rock Mine.
The taming movements indicated within Figure 6 were inputted into the HCS+ software
along with the appropriate lane arrangements in order to perform the required intersection

Level Terrain
Level terrnin is any combination of horizontal and vertical alignment permitting
heavy vehicles to maintain approximately the same speed as passenger cars; this
generally includes short grades of no more than 1 or 2 percent.
Rolling Terrain
Rolling terrain is any combination of horizontal and vertical alignment causing heavy
vehiclos to reduce their speeds substantially below those of passenger cars, but not to
operate at crawl speeds for any significant length of dmo or of frequent intervals;
generally, this includes short- and medium - length grades of no more than 4 percent.
Segments with substantial lengths of more than a 4 percent grade should be analyzed with
the specific grade procedure for directional segments.
Heavy- Vehicle Adjustment Factor
Once values for Es and ER have been determined, the adjustment factor for heavy
vehicle:, is computed usingTiquation 20-4,
where
i
1HV - 7 +PT(ET - 1)+Pn(En -1)
Pr = proportion of trucks in the traffic stream, expressed as a decimal;
PR - proportion of RVs in the traffic stream, expressed as a decimal;

analysis. The intersection of Immokalee Road and Oil Well Road operates under
signalized conditions. Based on the results of the intersection analysis, all intersections
and turning movements are shown to function acceptably after the addition of the Hogan
Island Rock Mine traffic to the surrounding roadway network. Therefore, no roadway
link improvements will be required as a result of the traffic generated as a part of the
proposed conditional use.
i
i
Turn lanes are proposed as a result of the added Hogan Island Rock Mine traffic. At the
intersection of Oil Well Grade Road and Immokalee Road, both an eastbound left turn
i
lane and a westbound right turn lane will be required. Based on a 55 mph design speed,
both turn lanes will require a 350 -foot taper + deceleration lane. In addition, the
1 '
eastbound left turn lane will require a storage lane. The storage lane was calculated
1 based on the two - minute arrival of project traffic. Since the majority of the mine traffic
will be bucks, the vehicles were assumed to consist of 30 feet of Iength, According to
the AASHTO Design Controls and Criteria, single unit trucks such as dump trucks are
typically 30 feet in length. The following calculation indicates the necessary storage for
the eastbound left turn lane on Immokalee Road:
Storage = (2 min) *(30 feet/truck) *(1 hour /60 minutes) *(67 trucks)
Storage = 67 feet, or 90 feet after rounding to the nearest vehicle
Therefore, the eastbound left turn lane on Immokalee Road should consist of a 90 -foot
storage lane in addition to the 350 foot taper and deceleration distance for a total turn lane
length of 440 feet. The westbound right turn lane can safely consist of only the 350 foot
taper and deceleration distance. In addition, a two -lane approach to Immokalee Road
will be necessary on Oil Well Grade Road. No additional turn lane improvements will be
necessary as a result of the added Hogan Island Rock Mine traffic.
VIL CONCLUSION
j Based on the analysis prepared, the proposed conditional use to allow the Hogan Island
Rock Mine and Asphalt PIant will not have an adverse impact to the surrounding
roadway system. Based on the anticipated truck volume that will be generated by the

site, all roadway segments in the study area are projected to operate at or above the
adopted Level of Service standards as defined by the Collier County Transportation
Planning Department.
Based on the information contained within this report, all intersections analyzed as a
result of the added Hogan Island Rock Mine traffic are shown to function acceptably after
the addition of the conditional use traffic. Therefore, beyond the aforementioned turn
lane improvements at the intersection of Oil Well Grade Road and Immokalee Road, no
additional intersection improvements will be required as a result of the proposed
conditional use for the Hogan Island Rock Mine.
