and, upon roll call, motion carried unanimously.

substitution of pond cypress for assorted vegetation in the littoral zone planting plan,
approve closure ofthe Tozour Road Mine and approve the release of the $30,935 bond
(letter of credit) in favor of Frank Stewart Trucking, Inc.
The Public Works Director addressed Ms. Jean Hearn's concerns regarding the erosion and
public safety issues as well as her Code Enforcement concerns.
Com. Coward addressed the precedent this may establish and stated he is willing to work with
the person due to the fact that there are huge costs in going back and putting sand back into place
meeting our buffer requirements, but, at the same time he feels it should not be done unless there
is more compensation than just shifting the plants around. He felt there should be some type of
monetary compensation for the fact that they did not meet their master plan and the land that they
prómised to the county for public use has now been reduced substantially. He would like to see
some portion ofthe outstanding bond going to the county to compensate for that loss as well as
the incredible amount of staff time that was put into this on going Code Enforcement violation.
Com. Barnes pointed out that the county is presently negotiating with this person for a piece of
land to the east, to be used for access to US # I frontage.
The Public Works Director advised the Board that they are in the process of negotiating for the
property east of this location with the same landowner.
Com. Barnes suggested rather than going for the bond, the county could obtain this property as
compensation.
The County Attorney stated he believed this property has been assessed.
Com. Coward concurred with Com. Barnes' suggestion.
The County Attorney suggested deferring action on this item if the Board is requesting
negotiating for the other property as compensation because once the bond is released, their
negotiating ability will be decreased.
The Board concurred. This item was deferred and will be re-agendad .

After tabulating the ranking ofthe consultants, the majority of the Board had selected Craig A.
Smith and Associates for the FFY 2000 CDBG RFP 00-13 and RFP 00-10.

7. COUNTY ATTORNEY (2-451)
Dredge Disposal Site- For Consideration before the Board was staff recommendation to
authorize staff to begin the necessary due diligence (i.e. title, appraisals, review appraisal,
environmental audit) leading to a possible purchase ofthe Seminole Indian site. If staff is
successful in negotiating a contract to purchase the site, the contract will be presented to the
Board for formal approval.
The County Administrator advised the Board that he as well as the Consultants are prepared to
give a two hour presentation if needed. As an alternative to the lengthy presentation he offered a
short version.
The County Administrator advised the Board that he and Mr. Patel will be attending the St. Lucie
Village Alderman's meeting next Tuesday evening where the public is being invited to address
their concerns. The Fort Pierce Harbor Committee voted 5 to 1 to move forward and pursue the
due diligence on this site.
The County Administrator recommended that the county move forward to perform the necessary
due diligence, such as title searches, environmental assessments etc., to purchase the Seminole
site and if staff is successful in negotiating a contract to purchase the property, then staff would
come back to the BCC with a contract for their consideration, prior to bringing a contract back to
the Board, a workshop be scheduled concerning the site. At this point we would know whether
or not staff has been successful in negotiating an agreement. Ifwe' re not successful, then it
would be a dead issue, however, if staff is successful in negotiating a contract for the property
with the contingency that it would be purchased upon receiving the necessary permits and
approvals from the various agencies.
Com. Barnes commented on the sharing of the cost of the spoil site by the various agencies and
stated he personally would like for the county to go forward with the understanding that we are
not approving the purchase of the site today, but, to see if we can purchase the site and in the
meantime try to answer everyone's concerns.
The County Administrator advised the Board that he spoke with Mr. Murphy from the Army
Corps of Engineers and he had stated he had spoken with NOAA to enter into an agreement with
them to contract a Dr. Porney through the agency to monitor the entire operation of the Corps off
shore dumping.
Com. Coward stated he was disappointed not to see included in the packet the comparisons of the
alternate sites.
The County Administrator advised the Board that he had provided the information.
Com. Coward questioned a liner being necessary for this site and asked the cost for this liner.
The County Administrator advised the Board that they are prepared to discuss the need or not
need of the liner.
The Consultant stated there is no guarantee that the Seminole site will not require a liner and this
is part of the due diligence. The cost difference noted between both sites is the liner and it is not
known as yet ifthe Seminole site will need the liner. .
Com. Coward stated his concerns with spending $20,000 to find out if a liner is needed.
Com. Coward stated he needed a much more comfort level on the airport site before he is ready
to disqualify it.

The Consultant reviewed the disqualified zones as per the Airport Director. He asked the Board
to remember that those properties to the west which are not owned would require additional
distance for pumping.
The Consultant advised the Board that they expect a 35 year life span of the disposal site
provided nothing is being hauled away and not finding any beneficial use of the material. Part of
the long tenn project is to find a use for the muck material sediment and hopefully extend the
life of the site.
Com. Coward commented on the site known as # 4 on the map. He stated the western side is
improved pasture land and has cattle. There has been sewage disposal in that area pennitted by
the DEP and he does not buy the idea of this being a wetland mitigation area.
Com. Bruhn stated the issue is whether or not they want to utilize the Seminole site or the
Airport site and we should find out today if there is support for either one.
Com. Lewis stated the issue today was not to select the site, but to detennine whether or not they
wanted to obtain further infonnation on the Seminole site and stated he was not prepared to make
a decision on the site since she has not received all pertinent infonnation on the site.
Com. Bruhn stated he would not want something like this in his back yard nor would he place it
in someone else's.
The County Administrator advised the Board that if the Airport property is ruled out and the
Board decides not to go with the Seminole property, then the county is out of sites and there are
no alternatives.
Com. Hutchinson stated she would like to see the workshops scheduled and completed and then
have some answers. She stated the Board cannot receive true answers unless a first step is taken
fOlWard, something which has not happened for the last 4 to 6 years, the $20,000 is well worth
finding out the necessary answers, a comparison cannot be done unless all the infonnation is in
front of you to review.
Com. Coward stated the cost exceeds the necessary details needed to make a comparison. He
stated he cannot spend another $20,000 if he cannot get answers to questions he asked regarding
site # 4 at the airport such as how many acres are there, is thi~ :m alternative site, and answers to
the concerns regarding water quality and the Indian River Lagoon. He also requested the
answers to his questions about alternative sites.
The Consultant stated that even if they could put the site on the western portion of # 4, the cost
values do not change. .
Mr. Patel stated he agrees with some of the concernS the public has brought forth today, but, he
thinks too many assumptions are being made. They are saying that given the infonnation they
have to date, and they have spoken with Bruce Gerner, FDEP, he stated the Seminole site would
be a better site than the airport site. He asked he be given the opportunity to work together on
this project since it is still not known if this will be the site, they do not know about the ground
water as yet, but, a first step is needed in order to proceed with finding out this infonnation.
Com. Barnes stated the airport has fresh water, and FDEP does not approve taking salt water and
placing it into fresh water.
Com. Lewis stated she would like to proceed fOlWard and get some answers.
··7-
'-"
~
Com. Coward stated he is not getting the answers necessary and he felt the issue is they should
back up and look at the alternative sites and what is best to proceed and then spend the additional
funds to do a more detailed analysis and if it is the Seminole site, then we can move forward. He
is not comfortable spending $20,000 when he is forced to make assumptions. He felt one week
would not make a difference other than to give the Board a greater comfort level in making a
decision.
Com. Barnes stated his view was that they were not being asked to buy the property at this point,
but, to take the advice of those they have paid and those who have volunteered their time to look
at these issue and move forward on the site. If in the next week there are problems that come
back, then the contract can be terminated immediately or if one or more of the Commissioners
come up with valid concerns, they can also be addressed next week. This is their number one
site selection and we will not know if we can even purchase the site until we ask the buyer and
also do the environmental assessments. Ifwe do not move forward, we may lose this site.
Com. Barnes then stated his vote was to move forward.
It was then moved by Com. Barnes, to proceed with staff recommendation;
Com. Coward stated he would not vote in favor ofthis motion due to the fact he felt there was a
lack of information.
After discussion, it was seconded by Com. Hutchinson; and, upon roll call, the vote was as
follows: Nay's: Bruhn, Coward; Aye': Lewis, Hutchinson, Barnes; motion carried by a vote of3
to 2.
There being no further business to be brought before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at
IQ :50 a.m.

Taylor CreeklC25 Canal Restoration Project. Engineering Design Contract with Williams, Hatfield &
Stoner/BCI Engineers & Scientists
BACKGROUND:
The Taylor CreeklC25 Canal Restoration Project involves the dredging of Taylor Creek from the C25
spillway structure and the Ft. Pierce Farms C1 canal spillway structure to the Indian River Lagoon. The
project will involve the removal of approximately 170,000 cubic yards of dredge material to restore Taylor
Creek to original design depth. The sediments have been accumulating in the creek for the last 50
years.
Dredging restoration is an important element of the Indian River Lagoon Comprehensive Conservation
and Management Plan (CCMP). Many of the Lagoon's tributaries are filled to capacity with deposits of
fine-grained muck sediment, especially where deeper areas have trapped sediment particles over many
years. With this diminished trapping capacity, there is a greater threat of direct muck transport to the
estuary, which can degrade water quality and habitat (see attached Indian River Lagoon Newsletter).
Over many years, the sediments have accumulated to a depth of about 6-7 feet deep in the center
channel. Once the sediments are removed, Taylor Creek will function as a silt trap to accumulate fine-
grained silt before it is discharged to the Indian River Lagoon. In addition, the navigation channel will be
restored to its full depth to benefit the public.
Several agencies are partnering with St. Lucie County to accomplish the restoration of Taylor Creek,
including: South Florida Water Management District, St. Johns River Water Management District/
National Estuary Program and Florida Inland Navigation District. On September 14, 1999, the BOCC
approved a grant contract with St. Johns River Water Management District/National Estuary Program
in the amount of $188,000. These funds are intended for the design and permitting of the Taylor Creek
Project, and the contract requires $62,000 local matching funds from St. Lucie County.
The attached engineering contract (Work Authorization No. 13) with Williams, Hatfield & Stoner/BCI
Engineers & Scientists, is for the design and permitting ofthe Taylor Creek Project. The contract includes
design of the Taylor Creek dredging work, including: surveying, sediment analysis, construction plans
preparation, construction monitoring, and permitting. The total contract is in the amount of $310,380.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY
T AYLOR CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT
SEDIMENT REMOVAL FEASIBILITY, DISPOSAL SITE DESIGN, PERMITTING,
BID SPECIFICATIONS
SCOPE OF WORK
General Project Description
The overall goal of this Restoration Project is to evaluate and design for the removal and
disposal of accumulated sediments to achieve previously defined design depths in Taylor
Creek, Fort Pierce, Florida. This scope includes work required to prepare and submit
permit applications (Environmental Resource Permit (ERP), FOOT, FECRR, and SLC
Land Development permits), including selection and design of a disposal site, evaluation
of potential final uses of dredged sediments, participation through a Public Advisory
Committee, monthly updates to the Harbor Advisory Committee and three public update
meetings.
The Taylor Creek restoration project area, as defined in this scope, extends from the
western right-of-way of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) to the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) Canal No. C-25 spillway and the Fort Pierce Farms
Water Control District (FPFWCD) Canal No.1 (referred to as F-l) spillway. The reaches
of the project are defined as follows:
· Reach No.1: The area between Florida East Coast Railroad (FECRR) bridge
and the western right-of-way of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW).
· Reach No.2: the area between the FECRR bridge and the spillway at the C-25
Canal and submerged weir at the F -1 canal.
· Reach No.3: The area between the submerged weir at the F -1 Canal and the F-l
Canal spillway.
Reach No.1 involves the removal of approximately 90,000 cubic yards (c.y.) of sediment
(determined in-place volume) from approximately 2,300 linear feet of the previously
designed navigation channel (approximately -12.5 ft MSL). The width of the design
channel is 140 feet from the FECRR bridge to a point approximately 1810 feet
dovvTIstream, and the average channel width tapers to 100 feet from this point to the
ICW. The average depth of the sediment is estimated to be between six and seven feet
throughout this channel.
Reach No.2 involves the removal of approximately 80,000 C.y to re-establish the design
channel depth (approximately -12.5 ft MSL). The width of the design channel is 140 feet
for this reach.

SUBJECT: Tozour Road Mine; approve: 1) the revised setbacks along the south and west boundary of
the mine per the attached survey, 2) the substitution of pond cypress for assorted vegetation in the littoral
zone planting plan, 3) closure of the Tozour Road Mine, and 4) release of the $30,935 bond (letter of
credit) in favor of Frank Stewart Trucking, Inc.
BACKGROUND: Tozour Road mine is located in northern St. Lucie County (S81T34S/R40E) just west
of Tozour Road and U.S. NO.1 and adjacent to the Northern Savannahs. This 49-acre parcel has been
mined since the original permit approval by the Board on November 20, 1973. The northern phase
(Phase I) of the mine was completed and closed out several years ago. Staff performed several site
inspections since the final permit expired on June 7, 1997 and have found the remaining mine site
(Phase II) non-conforming to reclamation requirements. Since the expiration of the reclamation period
(January, 1998), the site has remained in noncompliance and code enforcement action was taken.
Reclamation activities were recently completed on the site which included; 1) regrading of the side slopes
to a minimum of 4: 1 or shallower to a depth of 4' below the normal water elevation, 2) grading of a
berm/swale system along the eastern shoreline to minimize erosion, 3) seeding & mulching of the
disturbed areas, and 4) replanting of the littoral zone with pond cypress.
Based on review of the recently completed survey and field inspection, the site is now in conformance
with the original reclamation plan, with the exception ofthe following two deviations: 1) After consultation
with Mr. Steve Fousek, Environmental Lands Specialist, it was determined that this particular site would
better benefit from the planting of cypress trees along the littoral zone rather than the assorted vegetation
identified in the original littoral zone planting. Based on a cost comparison, it was agreed that 100 pond
cypress would be planted. The planting of 100 pond cypress has been completed in compliance with
this deviation. 2) The approved mining plan identified setbacks along the western and southern
boundary of 50' and 64 respectively. In order to meet the 4:1 side slope criteria, a portion of the
proposed setbacks were excavated and resloped. The new setbacks along the western boundary range
from approximately 20' to 50' and along the southern boundary from approximately 30' to 150'. The new
setbacks are still within the minimum allowable by the Land Development Code of 15'. A much safer
condition now exists along the shoreline and vehicular access is still maintained.
Staff recommends the Board approve 1) the revised setbacks along the south and west boundary of the
mine per the attached survey, 2) the substitution of pond cypress for assorted vegetation in the littoral
zone planting plan, 3) closure of the Tozour Road Mine and 4) release of the $30,935 bond (letter of

The sediment for Reach No.3 will also be evaluated and considered for only muck
removal. Muck probes will be conducted on 500-foot intervals in this reach in order to
determine the approximate muck volume and to perfonn testing of the physical
characteristics. A modification to the project surveying, engineering and construction
cost and the ERP will be required if dredging and disposal is required for this reach.
Costs associated with design and permitting of muck sediment removal in this area will
be handled as "Additional Services".
The project will also evaluate the existence of fine-grained, organic sediment (muck) that
may exist between the north and south banks of Reach No. 1 & 2. The removal of this
muck will be included in the permitting process.
The project will also determine the approximate volume and removal feasibility of muck
sediments from the areas approximately 1,000 linear feet west of the spillway for the F-l
and C-25 canal. Probe measurements will be taken to determine muck depths at
approximately 50, 500, 1,000 feet and 0.5 mile upstream from the F-l and C-25
spillways. A sediment and water sample will be collected west of each spillway for
chemical characterization. A sediment sample will also be collected at each probe for
physical characteristics.
The objectives of this project are to:
· Characterize chemical and physical characteristics of the sediments to
previously design depths of approximately -12.5 ft MSL, or to hard bottom
(muck depth) in the above referenced project area.
· Generate cross sections for construction bid and permit application
documents.
· Assess alternatives and determine a preferred method of removing and
disposing sediments, including beneficial use options.
· Design one spoil disposal site for use in the project.
· Hold pre-application meetings with the permitting agencies and prepare and
submit an application for the applicable permits (primarily the ERP) and
respond to agency comments.
· Provide a forum for public input through a Public Advisory Committee and
through Harbor Advisory Committee monthly updates.
To accomplish the above objectives, project work will be divided into the

alternative uses. Twelve (12) individual and/or composite samples will be tested
for the following properties:
· Moisture/-200 sieve
· Specific Gravity
· Atterberg Limits
· Organic Content
· Grain Size
Testing will be conducted in accordance with appropriate American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. The samples will be classified
according to the Unified Soil Classification System. In addition, 30-Day settling
tests with and without chemical flocculants will also be performed to further
refine expected sediment slurry behavior at the disposal site and return water
impacts. The chemical characteristics of the sediments will be used to
supplement the ERP.
Additional chemical characteristics of the creek water and sediment will be
determined for selected samples from the study area as needed for determining
any specialized handling and disposal requirements. Chemical testing will focus
on determining the concentrations of selected inorganic nutrients, heavy metals,
oil and grease, pesticides, herbicides and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
(P AHs ). Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test will be
performed to determine possible environmental impacts to the ground water at the
disposal site. Chemical and TCLP testing for two composite sediment and water
samples are included. The chemical data will be important in assessing potential
implications to environmental permitting, if any, and assessment of various
beneficial use options for the dewatered sediment.
CONSUL T ANT will prepare a letter report for all aspects of Task 1.2 and 1.3.
will critique and provide comments to a "Draft" letter report prior to final
submittal to County.

The laboratory chemical and physical/engineering test data and estimated muck
volume for Reach No's I & 2 will be used to determine the sediment volume increase
(bulking factor) due to dredging as well as the settling and dewatering characteristics
of the dredged sediments at the disposal site. The bulking factor depends on the
method of dredging (mechanical or hydraulic), along with the settling and dewatering
characteristics, and it will be used to determine the capacity needed for the disposal
site.
Depending on the physical characterization of the sediments, chemical flocculants will
be evaluated to enhance dewatering performance of the dredged material and the
quality of the return water. Whole Body Toxicity testing will be conducted for the
recommended chemical flocculant. The toxicity testing will be further refined to
determine the optimal use of polymers to avoid impacts to the aquatic fauna. Testing
will be performed in accordance with approved FDEP methods. This approach will be
assessed with disposal concepts such as hydrocyc1oning to separate the fine- and
coarse-grained materials for beneficial uses. This task will evaluate possible uses of
the dredged sediments for public benefit.
Hydraulic dredging appears to be the logical and economical method for removal of
the sediments from the navigation channel of Taylor Creek in combination with sand
separation and/or dewatering systems
Deliverables:
· Dredging and disposal alternatives (recommend alternative to SLC).
· Potential separation of sediments using hydrocyc1oning and/or flocculants.
· Beneficial uses of dredge materials.
· Cost Analysis
· Review of draft letter-report

EXHIBIT A
ST. LUCIE COUNTY
TAYLOR CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT
DATA COLLECTION, SEDIMENT REMOVAL FEASIBILITY
SCOPE OF WORK
General Project Description
The overall goal of this portion of the Restoration Project is to collect data which will
ultimately be used to evaluate and design for the removal and disposal of accumulated
sediments to achieve previously defined design depths in Taylor Creek, Fort Pierce,
Florida
The Taylor Creek restoration project area, as defined in this scope, extends from the
western right-of-way of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) to the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) Canal No. C-25 spillway and the Fort Pierce Farms
Water Control District (FPFWCD) Canal No.1 (referred to as F-1) spillway. The reaches
of the project are defined as follows:
· Reach No.1: The area between Florida East Coast Railroad (FECRR) Bridge
and the western right-of-way of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW).
· Reach No.2: the area between the U.S. #1 bridge and the spillway at the C-25
Canal and submerged weir at the F-1 canal.
· Reach No.3: The area between the submerged weir at the F-1 Canal and the F-1
Canal spillway.
Reach No. 1 will involve the removal of approximately 90,000 cubic yards (c.y.) of
sediment (determined in-place volume) from approximately 2,300 linear feet of the
previously designed navigation channel (approximately -12.5 ft MSL). The width of the
design channel is 140 feet from the FECRR Bridge to a point approximately 1810 feet
downstream, and the average channel width tapers to 100 feet from this point to the ICW.
The average depth of the sediment is estimated to be between six and seven feet
throughout this channel.
Reach No. 2 will involve the removal of approximately 80,000 c.y to re-establish the
design channel depth (approximately -12.5 ft MSL). The width of the design channel is
140 feet for this reach.
The sediment for Reach No.3 will also be evaluated and considered for muck removal.
The project will also evaluate the existence of fine-grained, organic sediment (muck) that
may exist between the north and south banks of Reach No.1 & 2. The removal of this
muck will be included in the future permitting process.

Revised 2/15/00
,.
The project will also determine the approximate volume and removal feasibility of muck
sediments from the areas approximately 1,000 linear feet west of the spillway for the F-1
and C-25 canal.
To accomplish the above goals, project work will be divided into the following tasks:
PHASE I: DATA COLLECTION AND MATERIAL TESTING
Task 1: Review Available Information, Pre-application Meeting with Applicable
Regulatory Agencies, Sample Collection & Evaluation, Flocculent
Selection, Physical/Engineering and Chemical Characterization for
Sediments in Taylor Creek.
Task 2: Sediment Removal and Disposal Alternatives, Dewatering Techniques
and Potential Beneficial Uses of Dredged Materials for Taylor Creek
The project will be initiated with a kick-off meeting, at which time the proposed scope,
schedule, project coordination procedures, and reporting requirements for S1. Lucie
County (SLC).
PHASE I:

. Department of State, Division of Archives, History
and Records Management
Pre-application meetings will be held with FDEP, USACOE, SFWMD and SLC.
Deliverables:
. Preliminary ERP, FDOT, FECRR and SLC Permit Information.
Task 1.2 Sediment and Water Quality Data Review, Additional Sample Collection,
Flocculant Selection, and Sediment Qualification for TAYLOR CREEK.
CONSUL T ANT shall review available reports and data concerning the sediments
and water quality of the project area prior to any further field sampling. This
information will be used to assist in refining additional information for the
sediments to be dredged and for use in the ERP. Based on earlier investigations
of sediment characteristics, chemical polymers will be evaluated by
CONSUL T ANT to properly design different disposal options and supplement the
ERP required to dredge the creek.
Once the relevant information is reviewed and summarized, additional in situ field
sediment sampling will be conducted for areas outside of the design channel (the
banks of Taylor Creek (Reach No.1, 2 & 3) north and south of the design channel
and west of the C-25 and F-1 spillway). Seven (7) locations will be sampled at
various depths as required by the regulatory agencies for chemical
characterization. (Two (2) composite samples to -12.5 MSL; one (1) in Reach
No.1 and Reach No.2; and five (5) muck samples; one (1) in Reaches 1,2 & 3,
one (1) west of C-25 spillway, and one (1) west of the F-1 spillway). All sample
locations will be identified and mapped using a Global Positioning System.
Depending on the depth and sediment, samples will be collected either using a
piston tube sampler or vibracoring.
Five (5) water samples will be collected for chemical characterization. One (1)
sample from each reach will be collected along with one (1) sample west of each
spillway.
Collected samples will be placed in jars, sealed and returned to appropriate testing
laboratories for chemical and physical characterization. All samples will be
collected in accordance with FDEP approved Comprehensive Quality Assurance
Plan (CompQAP). Muck sediment from the banks north and south of the design
channel throughout Taylor Creek will be considered for removal.
Deliverables:
. Additional permit application information.
. Results of sediment and water samples for physical and chemical testing.

Task 1.3 PhysicallEngineering and Chemical Characterization in T AYLOR
CREEK
CONSUL T ANT shall conduct laboratory testing to determine the following
physical and engineering properties of individual and composite samples (From
Task 1.2) to assist in determining handling characteristics, disposal behavior and
alternative uses. Twelve (12) individual and/or composite samples will be tested
for the following properties:
· Moisture/-200 sieve
· Specific Gravity
· Atterberg Limits
· Organic Content
· Grain Size
Testing will be conducted in accordance with appropriate American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. The samples will be classified
according to the Unified Soil Classification System. In addition, 30-Day settling
tests with and without chemical flocculants will also be performed to further
refine expected sediment slurry behavior at the disposal site and return water
impacts. The chemical characteristics of the sediments will be used to
supplement the ERP.
Additional chemical characteristics of the creek water and sediment will be
determined for selected samples from the study area as needed for determining
any specialized handling and disposal requirements. Chemical testing will focus
on determining the concentrations of selected inorganic nutrients, heavy metals,
oil and grease, pesticides, herbicides and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
(P AHs). Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test will be
performed to determine possible environmental impacts to the ground water at the
disposal site. Chemical and TCLP testing for two composite sediment and water
samples are included. The chemical data will be important in assessing potential
implications to environmental permitting, if any, and assessment of various
beneficial use options for the dewatered sediment.
CONSULTANT shall prepare a letter report for all aspects of Task 1.2 and 1.3.
Deliverables:
· Identification of muck sediment (north and south of Taylor Creek design
channel; muck identification is already complete within the Taylor Creek
channel) in the project area.
· Sediment physical and chemical characterization data.
· Letter-Report summary of data, analysis and conclusions.

TASK 2: Sediment Removal and Disposal Alternatives, Dewatering Techniques
and Potential Beneficial Uses of Dredged Materials for TAYLOR
CREEK
The laboratory chemical and physical/engineering test data and estimated muck
volume for Reach No's 1 & 2 will be used to determine the sediment volume increase
(bulking factor) due to dredging as well as the settling and dewatering characteristics
of the dredged sediments at the disposal site. The bulking factor depends on the
method of dredging (mechanical or hydraulic), along with the settling and dewatering
characteristics, and it will be used to determine the capacity needed for the disposal
site.
Depending on the physical characterization of the sediments, chemical flocculants will
be evaluated to enhance dewatering performance of the dredged material and the
quality of the return water. Whole Body Toxicity testing will be conducted for the
recommended chemical flocculant. The toxicity testing will be further refined to
determine the optimal use of polymers to avoid impacts to the aquatic fauna. Testing
will be performed in accordance with approved FDEP methods. This approach will be
assessed with disposal concepts such as hydrocyc1oning to separate the fine- and
coarse-grained materials for beneficial uses. This task will evaluate possible uses of
the dredged sediments for public benefit.
Hydraulic dredging appears to be the logical and economical method for removal of
the sediments from the navigation channel of Taylor Creek in combination with sand
separation and/or dewatering systems.
Deliverables:
· Dredging and disposal alternatives (recommend alternative to SLC).
· Potential separation of sediments using hydrocycloning and/or flocculants.
· Beneficial uses of dredge materials.
· Letter-report

SUBJECT: Environmentally Significant Land Program
InOOo North Savannas Project FCT#95-052-P56
Stewart Parcel- Tax ID # 1408-343-0002-000/3
BACKGROUND:
On March 26, 1996, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Conceptual Approval
agreement with Florida Communities Trust (FCT) for the purchase of 228 properties within the
Indrio North Savanna Project. The Board authorized the use of $600,000 of the County
Environmentally Significant Land (ESL) funds to match a 50% grant from FCT.
On the attached map of the project, the parcel that is the subject of this request is highlighted in
purple. This parcel was added to the project boundary last year when the owner, Mr. Ben Stewart
offered it to the County for the assessed value as it was listed on the 1998 Tax Roll. Mr. Stewart and
his son Frank, have owned and operated a sand mining business (Tozour Road Mine) from this site
for many years. They also owned property adjacent to this parcel. This adjacent parcel (the "Lake")
was the area that was actually mined. Mr. Stewart agreed to donate the "Lake" Parcel to the County
when his mining pennit expired. Please note the attached memorandum from the Public Works
Director.
As referenced in Mr. Wazny's memo, many staff hours were involved in the reclamation ofthe mine.
Not only was the Engineering Division involved but so was Code Enforcement and the
Environmental Lands Specialist. As requested by the BOCC at the February 8th meeting, Acquisition
staff has negotiated with Mr. Stewart to accept the Option Agreement at $5,000.00 below his original
asking price. The assessed value is $263,910.00. The Grant Agreement with Florida Communities
'-"
...."
Trust "FCT"does not allow us to divulge the appraised value but please note that the Maximum
Approved Value approved by FCT is substantially higher than the assessed value. The new
negotiated offer is $5,000.00 less than the assessed value. The Option Agreement for the subject
parcel is attached for your review.
RECOMMENDA TION 1 CONCLUSION:
Staff requests that the Board detennine if they will accept the Option Agreement in the amount of
$258,910.00 for the Stewart Parcel highlighted in purple on the attached map. If accepted, staff
recommends that the Board authorize the Chainnan to execute the agreement and direct staffto close
the transaction and record the document in the Public Records of S1. Lucie County, Florida.

TO:
Robert Bradshaw, Asst. County Administrator
FROM:
Mike Durette, Director, Central Services
DATE:
February 1, 2000
SUBJECT:
Relocation of structure, 603 Midway Road, to new location
Per our conversation Monday, January 31, 2000, regarding the relocation of a historical
dwelling to either of two(2) sites owned by St. Lucie County, we have assembled some
budgetary figures for your consideration which include the utility hook-ups, limited site
development and anticipated building renovations.
Not knowing on which site or where the building might be located on the site, these numbers
could vary drastically. The figures we have assembled would include connecting utilities to
the relocated structure (electric, water and sewer), providing a paved driveway and parking
as required by the St. Lucie county land Development Code, constructing stairs and ramps
as required for accessibility to the building, adding a second toilet room and renovating the
existing toilet facilities to meet F ACBC (Florida Accessibility Code for Building
Construction), patching and repairing the exterior walls and roofmg, and repainting the
exterior of the building. Included in the utility package would be a septic tank and drainfield
with a lift station ($10,000.), water supplied by a well and treated with a water softener
package ($5,000.) And overhead electrical service run to the building (no cost).
Variables in the utility costs could be changing the overhead service to an underground
electric service, which would depend on the distance from the property line and location on
site relative to existing pole locations. The most defmitive variable in the paving costs will
be the distance in from the property line to the facility. The grade elevation and the
necessary amount of imported fill (to meet requirements of SFWMD & DEP) will certainly
affect the paving costs. None of the variables have been considered in these costs.

page 2 of 2
The cost to relocate the structure could exceed $115,000., which are some of the figures we
are aware of. Our preliminary totals for the utility work and renovations/additions to the
structure are about $80,000., not including the physical relocation of the structure, estimated
at $35,000., foundation construction, structural engineering, civil engineering or architectural
fees, landscaping, contractor's overhead and profit, or impact and permit fees. Our costs
only includes those items noted above pertaining to construction and utility costs.

Relocation of Historical White City House
After due consideration and discussion with other departmental staff, Leisure
Services would like to offer the following findings and options to the BOCC
for their consideration.
It will cost approximately $115,000 to transport and renovate the historical
White City house. This includes $35,000 for transporting and an additional
$80,000 for renovations and upgrades to meet code.
It has been determined that the most promising location for the house would
be
at the Savannas Recreation Area. There would be several options for its use
at this location. It could be used as a new gate house, a meeting hall, an
animal sanctuary or perhaps could be tied in with the proposed Butterfly
House.
Relocation of the historical White City Home to White City Park would not
be a viable option at this time. The problems we would encounter with
placement of the home at this location would include elevation and
accessability problems.

Consideration has also been given to relocating the house to the Economy
Property. Due to the purchase of this property with ESL funds, limited
recreational usage has been proposed. The other issue that must be addressed
is where the location of the house would be relative to the access point of the
property. The proposed access point presently is 600 feet away from the
active recreational area. This could bring up issues of lighting, safety, and
additional cost.
In summary: For maximum usage and benefit to St. Lucie County residents
and visitors, the Savannas Recreation Area would seem to be an ideal
location. The Economy Property could still be looked at as a possibility, but
there are many issues that would need to be addressed and the amount of
usage is contingent on several factors including that of the access location. It
would seem that White City Park is not really a viable option at this time.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us.

C.A. NO: 00-195
DATE: February 7, 2000
SUBJECT: St. Lucie County Sports Complex Security - Third Amendment to
Interlocal Agreement with City of Port St. Lucie for Traffic Control
and Security
BACKGROUND:
On June 21, 1988, the County entered into an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Port
St. Lucie for off-duty police officers to provide traffic control security during scheduled events
at the St. Lucie County Sports Complex. The initial agreement provided for an hourly rate of
twenty-one and 36/100 dollars ($21.36) per police officer. The agreement was amended on June
20, 1989 to increase the rate to twenty-three and 50/100 dollars ($23.50). On May 19, 1998, the
agreement was amended to reduce the rate to eighteen and 00/100 dollars ($18.00) per hour for
police officers and nineteen and 00/100 dollars ($19.00) per hour for supervisors, plus a five
