The account balance was $638,258.51. HSE 12-005.23 2 20 July 2017 6 February 2017 - E-mail discussion regarding replacement of entry sign and whether the cost would be covered by BPMB funds since, technically, the sign is not inside the Bank. 13 February 2017 - Received agenda for February meeting, minutes from December 12, 2016 meeting and revised copy of Bear Point Mitigation Bank Credit Purchase/ Reservation Procedure. 15 February 2017 - Bear Point Mitigation Bank Committee meeting. 28 February 2017 - Received letter stating that the debit to the ledger of 0.10 credits for Harbor Point Condominium Association was approved by FDEP. 9 May 2017 - Received minutes from February 15, 2017 BPMB committee meeting. Mr. Henderson reported that, due to the recent appraisal, the value of dual credits rose from $130,000.00 to $160,000.00 per credit. A motion to increase the cost of dual credits was approved. The owners of 6 lots in Surfside Harbor have offered to donate their lots to SLCMCD. Although they are not contiguous with the Bank, they may be useful for Bank operations. Property Acquisitions is performing due diligence on the proposed donation. The faded sign in the interior of the Bank will be replaced with a standard metal park sign, since that area is not open to the public. Mr. Henderson reported that the Bank has 7.2 Federal and 8.3 State credits available. Mr. Henderson informed the Committee that the Bear Point budget currently has $638,258.51 in pooled cash which includes the November 2016 interest allocation of $771.32. 12 April 2017 - Received report from Southeast Soil and Environmental Service, Inc. for April exotic removal and maintenance. 4.0 Inspection/Monitoring Monthly inspections for wildlife usage, security issues, construction conditions, exotic vegetation, water levels, and trash pick-up were conducted and the results tabulated. The January through June 2017 inspections and reports were completed by Andrew Esieman Jakob Bourgraf and Shailah Steck. A synopsis of the monthly inspections (January - June 2017) can be found in Exhibit B. Biologists observed and recorded all wildlife utilization. Wildlife utilization was determined by sighting, scat, calls, nests, burrows, tracks, etc. Current conditions within the mitigation bank are conducive to the life cycle productivity for various wildlife species. Species composition within the BPMB is indicative of a healthy, productive system and observed fauna indicates a diverse and abundant wildlife usage within the bank. The vegetation within the BPMB appears healthy, with no outward signs of disease or insect infestation. Natural recruitment of desirable native vegetation is evident throughout the area. Exotic and invasive species are being treated and maintained on a regular basis not to exceed the 1% cover per acre in accordance with the Long Term Management Plan, Attachment D of FDEP Permit HSE 12-005.23 3 20 July 2017 modification Number: 0175246-014. Exotic vegetation was minimal during this six month period. Inspections of docks, culverts, levee, trash receptacles, gates and signage were performed and status recorded in the monthly inspection reports. Additional details about the culverts and levee can be found in Exhibit B. Condition of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) at the culverts is also observed monthly and noted only in case of deterioration. It is natural for SAV to move around and disappear from one area and re -appear in another. Currently, SAV populations appear healthy. 5.0 Activities Activities that occurred from January 2017 through June 2017 include: Monthly water quality testing, including DO, temperature, salinity, pH and Eh data collection. Dates of collection were 30 January, 15 February, 9 and 14 March, 27 April, 12 May and 15 June 2017. Water quality was not collected in the month March for mitigation 9 due to construction on the access dock. Water quality graphs can be found as Exhibit C. Semi-annual exotic vegetation management occurred on 12 April 2017 (Exhibit D). Weekly general dike maintenance continues, which includes trash pick-up and mowing, as necessary. Due to the Hurricane Matthew on 7 October 2016, there was substantial damage to the dikes and piers. The impoundment has been closed to the public since Hurricane Matthew. The dike, levee, culvert, road and rip -rap repairs are now complete, as is the repair to the crab dock, which is now open to the public. The piers and boardwalks will remain closed until they are repaired, which is in process (Exhibit B). Water level data was collected every 15 minutes (Exhibit F) and rainfall was collected daily (Exhibit G). Water level Station 1 malfunctioned between March 3 and March 13 and between June 17 and July 17, and Station 2 malfunctioned May 4 to June 17. Stations 3 and 4 malfunctioned between January 1 and March 13. Although the water level data loggers were calibrated to show proper elevations early May, Station 4 malfunctioned beginning on June 26. Locher Environmental has been notified of this latest malfunction. Monthly monitoring for wildlife and general inspection continued (Exhibit B). Please refer to Exhibit E for BPMB maintenance and monitoring activities and costs for January through June 2017. 6.0 Maps/Figures The following maps and figures depict the location of various structures and particular areas of interest in the Bank: HSE 12-005.23 4 20 July 2017 Exhibit H: Figure 1 of 2 depicts the Bank itself and the locations for data collection, including water level and water quality data, as well as areas that were maintained. Exhibit H: Figure 2 of 2 is the 2017 aerial photograph of the Bank showing the original area for Brazilian pepper removal in the north. 7.0 Data/Ledgers Water level, rainfall & water quality Water level data from outside (WL 4 & 5) and inside (WL 1 & 3) the impoundment areas was well correlated and followed daily tidal regimes while culverts were open from January through April 2017. In January and February, WL4 and 5 in the lagoon malfunctioned and were not collecting data. However, the lagoon remained tidal despite the malfunction of the logger and the impoundment water levels appear to follow the tidal regime, In March and April, the impoundment and the lagoon correlated with tidal flushing however, data logger elevations are incorrect. These were calibrated in May but malfunctioned again in June. On 1 and 2 May water levels within the impoundment were initially tidal until the culverts were closed, at which time they began to rise steadily. Water levels inside the impoundment remained above the lagoon levels in June when the culverts were closed and the pumps were all running (Exhibit F). (Specific condition 21c, Permit Modification Number: 0175246-014). March 2017 experienced the lowest amount of total monthly rainfall (±1.03 inches, ±1.2 inches below average) while June 2017 experienced the highest amount of monthly rainfall (±12.07 inches, ±5.1 inches above average). The average monthly rainfall from January 2017 to June 2017 was f3.58 inches, whereas the average monthly rainfall in the Ft. Pierce area was ±3.55 inches according to South Florida Water Management District. The largest amount of rainfall in a 24 hour period occurred on 6 June 2017 when f2.19 inches were recorded. Less than average rainfall was observed between January and April, May exhibited average rainfall and June experienced well above average rainfall (Exhibit G). Water quality parameters (i.e. water temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, pH, Eh) from January to June 2017 were within the success criteria in Permit Modification No. 0175246-014. Water quality for mitigation 9 was not collected for the month of March due to construction on the access dock. Water quality equipment appears to be functioning correctly. The DO and temperature graphs correlate, as the higher water temperatures result in lower DO concentrations. Water temperatures stayed below the maximum of 35 degrees Celsius and DO stayed above the 1.0 PPM minimum for the six month period from January through June 2017. Eh, pH and salinity were observed within the success criteria and all correlate properly. All of the probes appear to be in good working order at this time. Refer to Exhibit C for water quality graphs. HSE 12-005.23 5 20 July 2017 Lem There was a partial State credit purchase made during this time period. A purchase of 0.10 credits was made on 28 February 2017 by KT 50001 Harbor Point Condo Association. Credits have been deducted from the ledger and the ledger balances are 37.596 Federal credits and 42.53 State credits. 8.0 Photos & Assessment Monthly inspections conducted from January through June 2017 verify that Specific Condition 24a-e of Permit Modification Number 0175246-014 are being met regarding security, construction condition, exotic vegetation, water levels, and wildlife. Issues observed and noted during monthly inspections were addressed immediately following monthly inspection report submittal. It should be noted that the entry sign for the mitigation bank will be replaced the week of 24 July and some interior signs have already been replaced. Please refer to Exhibit B. No permit modifications are anticipated for the upcoming status report period. Continued maintenance of levee, pumps and culverts, water level and water quality equipment are expected as needed, along with exotic and invasive maintenance, treatment and removal. Representative photographs of Bear Point Mitigation Bank are provided in Exhibit I. 9.0 Compliance & Planning Compliance with FDEP Permit Modification No. 0175246-014 and future planning is noted below. For the past six months water quality (WQ2 & WQ3 impoundment and WQ9 & WQ10 lagoon - Exhibit C) and water level (WL1 & WL3 impoundment and WL4 & WL5 lagoon - Exhibit F) have been recorded and plotted. Water Quality will continue to be monitored and recorded on a monthly basis as per Permit Modification Number 0175246- 014. Water level data loggers were malfunctioning during this report period. WL 1 was missing data from March 3-12 and June 17 - July 17. WL 3 was missing data from May 4 - June 17. WL 4 data was missing from January 1 - March 13 and June 26 to date. WL 5 data was missing from January 1 - March 13. Additionally, the elevations for WL 3 and 4 are incorrect for March and April, and WL 1, 3 and 4 appear to be incorrect in May. Although the equipment was calibrated in May, by mid June it was again incorrect. Data was missing for WL 1, and WL 4 & 5 elevations should be within 0.20 feet of each other, which they were not. In order to ascertain the status of the Bank and the water levels within the lagoon compared to the impoundment, the equipment will need to be checked and/or calibrated on a more regular basis. Monthly monitoring of wildlife and inspection of the general condition of the Bank has continued (Exhibit B). Species diversity is excellent and new species continue to be observed on the Bank site. HSE 12-005.23 6 20 July 2017 The semi-annual exotic removal and maintenance program was conducted on the 12 April 2017. Brazilian pepper and Australian pine seedlings, as well as other exotic and nuisance pest plants, were eradicated. Southeast Soils and Environmental Service, Inc. conducted their initial treatment on 1 April and returned on 11 April to recheck and re- spray if necessary (Exhibit D). The impoundment was maintained according to Specific Condition #13 of Permit Modification #0175246-014. The start of season began on I May 2017 and annual pump - up began 27 June. The following is a list of activities and dates of permitted operating procedures that occurred during the January through June 2017 time period: 1 January - 30 April All culverts are fully open, pumps and aerators off. 1 - 20 May Closed impoundment/ start of season.

Repairs on levees, signs and barriers were made following Hurricane Matthew. Numbers are either damaged, missing, or concealed at culverts 4, 9, 10, 1 land 13. The preserve sign on A I A and a couple of educational signs within the mitigation bank have been replaced, however some signs are still faded. At WQ 1 and SG4 there are a few warped and splintering boards. Construction Condition: The pumps were functioning properly. Culverts are in good condition. Repairs to the levee, pumps and culverts have been completed and there is no exposed riprap within the mitigation bank. The boardwalks and piers remain closed to the public. Exotic Vegetation: Exotic vegetation was observed along the trail these past six months. This included balsam apple, Australian pine, Durban crowfoot grass and false buttonweed. As these species were observed, they were flagged so the maintenance crews as well as the exotic removal contractor can easily identify them. This has been working well and the exotics are being eradicated on a regular schedule. Water Levels: Water levels ranged from roughly 0.1 to 1.9 feet within the impoundment during the six month time period. The staff gauges inside the impoundment need to be cleaned. Trash Pick-up: Although there was an ample amount of trash due to tides, such as water bottles, beer cans and plastic debris and mono, it is removed on an on -going basis as part of the regular Bank maintenance. There continues to be several tires along the lagoon side between culverts 10 and 12.
