I. INTRODUCTION
The intent of the Preserve Area Management Plan (PAMP) is ta provide an outline of
methods to provide the long-term protection and maintenance of the values and
functions of the preserve area, as required by Chapter 6 of the St. Lucie County Land
Developmenk Code. A detailed description of the preserve area's natural history,
including its vegetative condition prior to development, will be included in the report.
4biectives
A. To preserve the existing wetland ecosystem inctuding canopy, understory, and
groundcover.
B. F,nhance the viability of the preserve through the removal and control of invasive
exotic piant species and the installation of appropriate native buffering plants.
C. Prevent the activities of construction equipment, vehicular traffic, recreational or
other potential(y destructive uses within the preserve area.
D. Sustain areas of viable habitat for regional flora and fauna through the
implementation of regular maintenance and monitoring programs.
II. SITE DESCRIPTION
The project site is located on the west side of AIA, about 3.5 miles south of the
Florida Power and l.ight Nuclear Plant and 1/3 of a mile north of the entrance to
Nettles lsland, Section 34, Township 36S, Range 4IE, St. Lucie County. The project
area is bound to the north by Las Tortugas subdivision, to the south by the Island
Dunes Country Club go{f course, to the east by A 1 A, and to the west by the
Indiar~ River Lagoon. The site is home to an existing ciubhouse with associated
facilities (parking, loading zones, pool, bathrooms, etc.) and a smali mangrove
wetland community just to the west of the clubhouse.
The preserve area is comprised of 0.07 acres of mangrove wetland and 0.09 acres
of wetland buffer on the east side. The material required to plant the wetland
buffer on the west side of the wetland has been donated to St. Lucie County in
lieu of installation due to conflicts with the existing golf green located adjacent to
the wetland. The wetland consists of primarily red mangroves with a few black
mangroves along the fringes.

OR BOOK 3009 PAGE 2128
A. SOILS
The project site contains the following soil types (see Exhibit 3, Soil Survey af Saint
Lucie County, FL 1480.):
1. 35 Pomnano-Kali~a Varient Association: This association consists of very pooriy
drained soits in tidal mangrove swamps in the Indian River. The water table is at or
above the surface for most years, flooding during most high tides and storm periods.
2. 10- Canaveral fine sand: This moderately well drained to somewhat poorly
drained, nearly leve! to gently sloping soil is on low dunelike cidges and side slopes
that border depressional areas and sloughs near the coast. The water table is between
depths of 10 to 40 inches for 2 to 6 months or more and is within a depth of 60 inches
for most of the rest of the year.
B. VEGETATIVE COMMUNITIES
The subject arel is predominantly an isalated mangrove swamp community. The
dominant tree canopy is red mangrove. The native understory includes a small
amount of sea oxeye (see Eachibit 4, Aerial Photograph).
The following is a list of the riative and non-native plant species that currently inhabit
the preserve area (see E~ibit 6, Photographic Catalogue ofthe Vegetative
Community of the Preserve):
Cano
Common Name Scientific Name _DesiEnation
Red Mangrove Rhizophora mangle Native
$lack Mangrove ~Ivicennia germinans Native
Shrub And Vine
Sea oxeye Borrichiafrutescens Native
III. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
A. PItOTECTION
The preserve will have a protective barricade placed around the perimeter, located at
a minimum, twice the dripline of any native tree. The fencing material shall consist
of material sueh as orange construction fence. The fence will be properly installed
prior to the final inspection of St. Lucie County Environmental Resources
Department (ERD} staff.
In order to control erosion drifting into the preserve during the development
activities, a silt fence may be installed around the perimeters for controL This
requirement will be determined prior to the final inspection.
Q~\1SOL11LDS 6nvimnmentalVSLC ERD\L501~1 Islend Dunas PAMP,dce
OR BOOK 3009 PAGE 2129
The preserva area will be closely monitored by Land Design South staff during the
initial site clearing and construction phase of the project to ensure that the necessary
protective measures are being maintained in compliance with the ~RD approved
management pian.
Prohibited activities inside and adjacent to the preserve during the constniction phase
of the project include but not limited to the storage, temporary or permanent
placement of equipment, vehic(es, and construetion materials within the preserve
boundaries or twice tha dripline of existing native trees to be preserved.
B. SUPPLEMENTAL PLANTINGS
As part of site plan approval, the wetland buffer in between the ctubhouse expansion
and the wetland will be planted with appropriate supplemental vegetation. The
planting plan as approved by St. Lucie County ERD is included as well as the plant
schedula foilowing:
Qt~,; Common l~iame Scientific Name Size and Saacin
327 Fakahatchee grass Tripsacum daclyloides #1, 24" x 24", 30" OC
159 Muhly grass Nluhlenhergia capillaries #3, 24" x 24", 30" 4C
303 Saltmeadow cordgrass Spartina patens
In addition, Island Dunes will donata to St. Lueie County tbe Poliowing plant materiai
in lieu of installation on the west side of the wetland where the adjacent golf green
would be affected.

IV. MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING
A. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES
All activities not associated with good environmental practice for the perpetual
maintenance of the preserve area will be prohibited. Prohibited activities may
include but are not limited to: mowing, sodding, trimming, man-made structures, play
equipment, permanent irrigation, dumping, grubbing, man-made runoff or the
creation of point source discharge into the preserve area or other alteration wiU not
occur within the boundaries of the preserve area.
Post-development runoff shall not exceed pre-development runoff and point source
discharge shall be prohibited into the preserve.
Passive recreational activities including nature waiks, bird and witdlife watching and
photography are allowed within the boundaries of the preserve.
Q:\i 501.1\LUS EnvironmentalV+" LC ERD~1501. ~ laland Dunes PAMP.doc
OR BOOK 3009 PAGE 2130
Any other activity not addressed in the PAMP shall require written approval by ERD
prior to initiation. Any activity which may possibiy impact the integrity and
contimied viability of the preserve is prohibited.
B. MONITORING
The preserve area will be monitored quarterly in perpetuity. Monitoring shall
include, but not limited to: rernoval of trash and debris, identifcation of prohibited
activities, identif'tcation and eradication of invasive non-native species, ensure
compliance with the standards for survivorship of the supplemental planting as
specified in the approved PAMP.
Failure to comply with these guidelines will be considered a violation of the permit
and approved PAMP. Further work on the project may be stopped until compliance
with the guidelines af the approved PAMP.
V. ExOTIC PLANT SPECIES CONTROL
All exotic and nuisance plant species, including but not limited to the most current
F~PPC Category I Plant List (target species) shall be removed and eradicated from
the preserve. The process of exotic target species vegetation removal will include
the fol4owing activities:
All chemicals shall be handled and applied by a Florida Licensed Applicator.
The following is the proposed methodology to remove and eradicate the exotic
vegetation:
• cut larger, woody exotic plant species to a stump near tlush with existing
ground level with hand tools (chain saw, machete).
• remove large trunks and limbs by hand (or gabled to equipment) to be pul(ed
out of the preserve avoiding damage/impacts to existing native plant species.
• treat the stumps of the removed exotic plants with the appropriate herbicide
(Garlon 4~, Rodeo ~}.
• cut exotic and nuisance vines at the base of the tree, palm, or shrub.
• leave the vine in the tree canopy so as not to damage tree by pulling on the
vine to remove.
. treat the base of the vine, rhizome, or root mat with the appropriate herbicide.
• remove all debris fro-n fhe upland preserve to be chipped and hauled off site
for proper disposal.
. perform a faltow-up treahnent of any resprouting or newly seeded exotic and
nuisance plant species as needed.
The preserve area wiil be reviewed and monitored quarterly in perpeh~ity to ensure
eompliance for the permanent eradication of invasive non-native vegetation as listed
in the most current FEPPC Categocy I Plant List {target species).

vr. CONCLUSION
The 0.07 acre wetland coupled with the ~.09 acre wetland buffer combine for a total
0.16 acres of preserved habitat for this project. Identified as an important community
in the Florida ecosystem, the prese-vation of the existing mangrove swamp and
enhancement of its buffer will provede habitat and food sources far a variety of
amphibious and avian species. ,
Affidavit of Responsibility -Lsland Dunes Country Club Property Owners
Associatian is the party responsible far the compliance during the developmental
phase of the site. The long term/perpetuity resp~nsibility of complying with the
standards set forth in the Preserve Area Management Plan shall be with the Island
Dunes Country Club Propcrty Owners Association. The preserve shall remain free of
all invasive and non-native plant species and no prohibited activities as outlined in
this PAMP shall occur within the preserve.
The preserve area will be monitored throughout the clearing, tree/vegetation
relocation, and construction processes by a knawledgeable environmental
professionaL Upon attaivment of the Certificate of (Jccupancy, quarterly inspections
will be performed in perpetuity.
