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
July through December 2016 inspections and reports were completed by Andrew
Esieman and Shailah Steck. A synopsis of the monthly inspections (July - December
2016) 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 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 appears healthy.
HSE 12-005.23 3 7 February 2017
5.0 Activities
Activities that occurred from July 2016 through December 2016 include:
Monthly water quality testing, including DO, temperature, salinity, pH and Eh data
collection. Dates of collection were 18 July, 5 August, 20 September, 23 October and 14
November. Water quality was not collected in the month of December due to equipment
failure and has since been rectified. Water quality graphs can be found as Exhibit C.
Semi-annual exotic vegetation management occurred on 5 and 10 of September 2016.
(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 the
storm for safety issues. The dike repairs are now complete and it will be re-opened to the
public as soon as the grass has grown enough to provide stability for vehicular traffic.
The piers 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 4 began to malfunction at the end of October
continuing into December but has since been repaired.
Monthly monitoring for wildlife and general inspection continues (Exhibit B).
Please refer to Exhibit E for BPMB maintenance and monitoring activities and costs for
July through December 2016.
6.0 Maps/Figures
Figure 1 of 6 depicts the Bank itself and the locations for data collection, including water
level and water quality data, as well as areas that were maintained. Figure 2 of 6 is the
2015 aerial photograph of the Bank showing the original are for Brazilian pepper
removal in the north. Figures 3-6 depict the Bank from a drone. All figures can be found
in Exhibit H.
7.0 Data/Ledgers
Water level, rainfall & water quality
Water levels inside the impoundment remained above the lagoon levels from July
through August when the culverts were closed and the pumps were all running. Water
level data from outside (WL 4 & 5) and inside (WL 1 & 3) the impoundment areas are
well correlated and follow daily tidal regimes while culverts were open from September
through December 2016. However, in September and October there appears to be n
eqipment malfunction for the impoundment water level data loggers, WL 1 and WL 3.
During both of these months the water level within the impoundment appears to be 2.5
HSE 12-005.23 4 7 February 2017
feet higher than in the lagoon, which it was not. Although there were some high tides,
this would not account for that great a discrepancy. By November, the equipment
appears to be functioning correctly. Success criteria 21b, Permit Modification Number:
0175246-014). (Exhibit F).
November 2016 experienced the lowest amount of total monthly rainfall (0.68 inches)
while August 2016 experienced the highest amount of monthly rainfall (7.60 inches). The
average monthly rainfall from July 2016 to December 2016 was ±3.11 inches, whereas
the average monthly rainfall in the Ft. Pierce area is ±5.34 inches according to South
Florida Water Management District. The largest amount of rainfall in a 24 hour period
occurred on 7 August 2016 when 2.35 inches were recorded. This period (July to
December 2016) exhibited slightly below average rainfall during all months, especially
in July, compared to the area’s average rainfall. (Exhibit G).
Water quality parameters (i.e. water temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity) from July to
December 2016 were within the success criteria in Permit Modification No. 0175246-
014. Water quality was not collected for the month of December due to equipment
failure; equipment has since been replaced.
There was a DO probe malfunction during the month of July, which appears to have been
corrected. The DO and temperature graphs correlate, as the lower water temperatures
result in higher DO concentrations. There was an anomaly in all water quality stations
from mid-October to mid November, as all parameters appear to be moving in the
opposite direction of what would be expected. For instance, the DO should be rising as
the water temperature is going down. Since the probes in all water quality stations
completely malfunctioned in the month of December, this could be indicative of the
beginning signs of the equipment failure. Water temperatures stayed below the
maximum of 35 degrees Celsius and DO stayed above the 1.0 PPM minimum for the
sixth month period from July through December 2016. The DO probes have been
replaced and are functioning properly.
Eh levels from July through December were well above criteria of a minimum of 0.1 MV
minimum. There is one low reading for Eh from Mit 9 (lagoon) for 18 July but the
reading was still within acceptable levels and rose appreciably after that. The pH levels
were also well above the minimum requirement of 6.0 throughout the six-month period.
Salinity remained below the 40 ppt maximum. All of the probes appears to be in good
working order at this time. Refer to Exhibit C for water quality graphs.
Ledger
There were two State credit purchases made. A purchase of 0.12 credits was made on 14
October 2016 by All Aboard Florida and a purchase of 0.20 credits was made by
Moorings Yacht Club (Joe Vargas) on 8 November 2016. These have been deducted
from the ledger and the ledger balances are 37.596 Federal credits and 42.63 State
credits.
HSE 12-005.23 5 7 February 2017
8.0 Photos & Assessment
Monthly inspections conducted from July through December 2016 verify that Success
Criteria 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 signs for the mitigation
bank are fading and need to be replaced. This replacement is in process. 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
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.
Monthly monitoring of wildlife and inspection of the general condition of the Bank has
continued (Exhibit B).
The semi-annual exotic removal and maintenance program was conducted on the 5 and
10 of September 2017. (Exhibit D).
The impoundment was maintained according to Specific Condition #13 of Permit
Modification #0175246-014. The annual drawdown began 27 June and ended 5 July. The

Culverts, generators and telemetry equipment continue to be maintained throughout the
Bank on a regular basis. Pumps are removed for maintenance at the end of the
drawdown each year (December) to be cleaned and the bearings replaced. They are then
re-installed in April prior to the drawdown event. Please refer to Exhibit E for yearly
maintenance activities and associated costs.
In the next 6 months, typical site management, including debris removal, monthly
wildlife monitoring, exotic vegetation removal, water level and rainfall data collection
and monthly water quality data collection will continue.

SYNOPSIS OF BANK CONDITIONS
JULY THROUGH DECEMBER 2016
Security:The levees, gates and barriers were in good condition
and functioning properly. However the staff gauge
on the north end and several signs on the interior
culverts have fallen. Numbers are missing at culverts
2, 4, 9, 20 and 22. The preserve signs are fading and
the crab sign is incorrect. At SG4 there are a few
warped and splintering boards.
Construction Condition:The pumps were functioning properly, except for
pump G that malfunctioned on 1 August 2016.
Culverts are in good condition. However, Hurricane
Matthew and extremely high tides have caused
extreme erosion on the levees. There are multiple
portions of the levee where the ground cloth is
exposed due to the rip-rap washing away or being
displaced. In addition, there is major washout at the
pump station. There continues to be both
maintenance and clean-up efforts due to the
hurricane. The entire impoundment has been closed
due to damage from the hurricane since 7 October
2016. Repairs on the dike are now complete and the
impoundment will re-open to the public as soon as
the grass has grown in enough to stabilize the dike.
The boardwalks and piers remain closed to the
public.
Exotic Vegetation:Exotic vegetation was observed along the trail these
past six months. This included umbrella tree,
Australian pine, Durban crowfoot grass, balsam
apple 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
HSE 12-005.23 Page 5 of 6 7 February 2017
schedule.
Water Levels:Water levels ranged from roughly 1.3 to 2.9 feet
within the impoundment during the six month time
period. The staff gauge inside the impoundment
needs to be cleaned.
Trash Pick-up:Although there was an ample amount of trash, such
as water bottles, beer cans and plastic debris, it is
removed on an on-going basis as part of the regular
Bank maintenance.
