Wetland area is presently dominated by large Brazilian Pepper,which is to be purged from the preserve area by removal of at least the above- ground portion(i.e.chainsaw severing with herbicidal stump treatment),but may go as far as whole-specimen removal via grubbing in order to remove extensive Pepper root systems which would impede subsequent planting. If elected,grubbing activities within the preserve boundaries shall utilize only low psi equipment and proceed only under dry ground conditions. UPDATE:Since initial County review of this Waiver application,FP&L has cleared,by chip- shredding,an assumed easement comprising the northern 12 feet of the site,coinciding with the northern 12 feet of the 20-foot deep wetland preserve. In so doing,the above-ground Brazilian Pepper biomass has been reduced to a 6"—8"layer of chips on the surface of former substrate. Wetland planting preparation in this region may now comprise,at a minimum,the removal of this layer of chipped material. Other aspects of wetland clearing remain as above. East-side wetland extremity and and adjoining wetland buffer region requires deadening in-place of present turf of St.Augustine Grass. 2)Planting Upon completion of exotic removal,preserved areas arc to be planted per the following: Table 1.Planting Schedule for Preserved Wetland Enhancement,2,098 sq ft.

See comments above. 3)Irrigation Due to the low moisture retention of the prevailing soil, and depending on season, irrigation is likely to be necessary to ensure survival of planted specimens. Therefore,the planting task may await that stage of site development when water is available and conflict with home construction is low. Broadcast sprinkling is forecast to be the most efficient means of supplying necessary water. Periodic watering must be maintained until plants demonstrate that they are established sufficiently to rely solely on ground moisture and natural precipitation. 4)Signage Perimeter fencing carrying informational Signage signifying the thresholds of preserve areas shall be installed along the affected property boundaries(i.e.west,north,and east property lines). See nominal locations on Site Plan. Internal preserve edges at retaining walls will be called out if required by St.Lucie County,by such media format as is agreeable to applicant and County. OR BOOK 4979 PAGE 202 A.Preserve Stewardship The preserved wetland and wetland buffer is a perpetual feature of the property,and is to he maintained by Owner and/or his agents against degradation. A list of actions and measures to be taken,and those prohibited,includes the following: 1) Periodic prosecution of undesirable (read"exotic, invasive")plant species which may or will colonize. This treatment may be accomplished by either hand pulling,herbicide application, otr a combination of both. Desirable species which self-recruit into the area are not to be treated,as they contribute meaningfully to full coverage of the ground. Those performing the work must be sufficiently trained in plant recognition to meet the performance standard for this task. 2) No native vegetation,whether pre-existing,planted,or self-recruited,may be cleared within the preserve area. 3) Any plants installed in addition to those prescribed in Table 1 must be of native species appropriate to the conditions in the site. 4) No pruning,hedging,or topping of plants is allowed. 5) No portion of preserve area is to be developed,nor co-opted into uses other than the natural system for which the area is established. Inadvertent physical trespass resulting in ground or vegetation damage is to be repaired. 6) Raking,collecting,or other removal of leaf litter,woody detritus,live plants,etc.is prohibited.Presence of these elements is necessary for the full restoration of function to the wetland and buffer. 7) Only clean water discharges arc allowable into the wetland. Rainfall from impervious surfaces(roof,drive, other) is permissible. However,such altered water as gray water or chlorinated water may not be introduced. Chlorinated water which has been neutralized via appropriate agents prior to discharge may be allowed. 8) No trash or debris,including yard waste,is to be deposited in the wetland. 9) No vehicular traffic,including off-road vehicles,is permitted in the preserve. 10) Perimeter signage and barrier fencing designating preserve areas is to be maintained in upright and legible condition,and may not be removed. B.Preserve Area Monitoring As-built documentation of the wetland and buffer re-planting effort is to be submitted to the St. Lucie County Environmental Department within 30 days of completion. Report should include a count of the specimens installed,their size(customary commercial description such as Bare root, 4"plug, 1-gallon,etc);photograph(s)of the planted area and of any other relevant developments best documented by photo;a brief narrative overview of relevant dates,difficulties,and progress. Thereafter, a similar monitoring exercise is to be repeated at 6-month intervals for 2 years, and annually thereafter through Year 5 At the second or third monitoring event, it may or will become desirable to transition the vegetation presentation to one of percentage of coverage by significant species, since the original plantings may become indistinguishable from those naturally colonizing the area. All monitoring reports shall contain,at a minimum,the following: OR BOOK 4979 PAGE 203 1. Brief narrative 2. Plant counts or coverage,by species. 3. Landscape photo coverage of entire preserve(several photos,if necessary) 4. Identification of exotic/invasive vegetation which is present, and plan/schedule for eradication. If eradication precedes monitoring,that action should be noted.
