EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
CONTRACT BETWEEN MONROE COUNTY AND EARTH TECH ENTERPRISES, INC.
1. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
In addition to the information provided directly within this Scope of Work, the documents listed in
Section 4.1 of the Contract are provided for reference. For purposes of this Scope of Work, the following
order of precedent is established:
1. Attachment A - US FWS May 8, 2015 Biological Opinion;
2. Text of this Scope of Work;
3. Attachment B — August 31, 2015 Restoration Agreement between County and Park;
4. All other remaining attachments.
2. WORK INCLUDED
The Contractor shall furnish all labor, superintendence, materials, power, light, heat, fuel, water, tools,
appliances, equipment, supplies, and any other means of construction necessary or proper for
performing and completing the Scope of Work (SOW), unless otherwise specifically stated. The Park will
be providing the native plant material for planting requirements at no direct cost to the Contractor.
However, the Contractor will be responsible for loading and transportation of the material to the site, as
well as installation and temporary watering.
The means and methods for construction shall be at the Contractor's discretion, provided they are in
accordance with the requirements and restrictions as listed in this SOW and its attachments. It is
important to note that the attachments of this SOW, primarily the US FWS Biological Opinion, have
specific requirements for construction methods, sequencing, and related practices. The Contractor will
be required to comply with ALL requirements and guidance of the Biological Opinion (unless specified
otherwise in this SOW) and is encouraged to carefully read and review this and the other Contract
attachments, and to request clarification if apparent discrepancies are identified.
The cost of activities considered to be incidental to the Scope of Work described herein shall be
considered as part of the general cost of doing the work and shall be included in the prices for the
various Contract Pay Items. No additional payment(s) will be made to accommodate these activities, and
it is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to determine, including by asking the County for
clarification, that the means and methods proposed are feasible and acceptable by the County and in
accordance with project requirements. The Contractor shall provide and maintain such tools and
equipment as may be necessary, in the opinion of the County and in accordance with industry
standards, to perform in a satisfactory and acceptable manner all the work required by the Contract.
Only equipment of established reputation and proven efficiency shall be used. The Contractor shall be
solely responsible for the adequacy of his workmanship, materials and equipment.
Page 1 of 22
3. QUANTITIES
Site plans showing surveyed locations and dimensions of the project site are included as Attachment D.
Estimated quantities/units including fill material to be removed, structures to be removed, and asphalt
and base to be removed are included in Attachment C. All quantities, including measurements of the
project area, are considered preliminary estimations and may require adjustment based on subsequent
field measurements.
The Contractor will not be able to seek additional compensation for quantities or other unit items
beyond their original estimation.
4. PROJECT SCHEDULE
The total maximum construction schedule for completion of the Scope of Work ("Time On Site") is 9
weeks. Financial penalties will be attributed to the Contractor for exceeding the schedule they propose,
unless the schedule is exceeded due to specific criteria beyond the control of the Contractor. This
criteria consists of inclement weather and direction from the Project Manager, County, State, or federal
government to stop work for reasons other than the Contractor's noncompliance with project
requirements.
The following time frames are exclusive of federal and state holidays. The term "week" is used to refer
to five calendar days, exclusive of weekends. The start of work for the project shall be negotiated with
the Contractor at the Pre -Construction Conference (Section 17(D)), but shall be no later than one
(calendar) month after delivery of the executed agreement to the Contractor. The schedule may be split
such that days without scheduled work do not count towards the scheduled Time On Site, however, the
Maximum Schedule for project completion is 12 weeks from the start of work, regardless of actual Time
On Site. The nine week scope of work deadline described in the previous paragraph must be completed
within this 12 week project completion deadline. Native planting activities may be conducted
concurrently with restoration activities, provided that construction sequencing accommodates the work.
The Project Manager must be on site during all construction activities. The Contractor must provide the
Project Manager a minimum of six days' notice prior to initiation of work or changes in schedule for
clearing and demolition activities. The Project Manager may be able to accommodate schedule changes
within a shorter timeframe, however, this shortened response time cannot be guaranteed and lack of
availability with less than six days' notice will not be grounds for an extension of the project schedule.
S. HOURS OF OPERATION
Work shall be performed Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The Project Manager must
be on site to provide access to the Contractor, and no work may proceed without the physical on -site
presence of the Project Manager. Any work to be performed outside of these times must be requested
in writing to the Project Manager 48 hours prior to the requested change. The Project Manager will
notify the Contractor in writing of any changes in approved work hours.
6. WORK STOPPAGE FOR CONSERVATION MEASURES
Temporary suspension of work may be required in order to provide for conservation/protection of
wildlife (Key Largo Wood Rat (KLWR) and Key Largo Cotton Mouse (KLCM)) and for related
Page 2 of 22
environmental issues. Examples are identified in Attachment A, Biological Opinion, which includes if a
KLWR or KLCM are found utilizing the construction site. Needs for work stoppage may be identified by
the Project Manager, County, Park or the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and will be communicated to the
Contractor through the Project Manager. Work stoppage time for this purpose will not be counted
toward the project schedule, including the day when a work stoppage was requested, if work had
already commenced that day and the stoppage was requested prior to 3pm. If work stoppage for
conservation purposes is due to an error or unauthorized/unlawful action by the Contractor, full days of
stoppage will not count towards the Time On site project schedule, though construction activities to
remediate the problem (at the Contractor's expense) will count towards the Maximum Project Schedule.
An example of this stoppage is if improper erosion control measures are utilized, requiring removal of
off -site sedimentation, and re -installation of erosion control measures prior to work resuming.
The Contractor is not entitled to additional fees/compensation for demobilization and remobilization, if
needed, due to a mandated work stoppage, regardless of reason for the stoppage
7. WORK DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER
The County will grant time extensions, on a day for day basis, for delays caused by the effects of rains or
other inclement weather conditions, related adverse soil conditions or suspension of operations due to
holidays that prevent the Contractor from productively performing controlling items of work resulting
in:
(1) The Contractor being unable to work at least 50% of the normal work day on pre -determined
controlling work items due to adverse weather conditions, holiday suspension; or
(2) The Contractor must make major repairs to work damaged by weather, provided that the
damage is not attributable to the Contractor's failure to perform or neglect; and provided that
the Contractor was unable to work at least 50% of the normal workday on pre -determined
controlling work items.
No additional compensation will be made for delays caused by the effects of inclement weather. The
County will consider the delays in delivery of materials or component equipment that affect progress on
a controlling item of work as a basis for granting a time extension if such delays are beyond the control
of the Contractor or supplier. Such delays may include an area -wide shortage, an industry -wide strike, or
a natural disaster that affects all feasible sources of supply. In such cases, the Contractor shall furnish
substantiating letters from a representative number of manufacturers of such materials or equipment
clearly confirming that the delays in delivery were the result of an area -wide shortage, an industry -wide
strike, etc. No additional compensation will be made for delays caused by delivery of materials.
Should weather conditions prevent the Contractor from being able to conduct work in accordance with
this SOW, the Contractor shall notify the County within 4 hours of when the weather conditions have
impacted the work. The County's Project Manager shall provide the Contractor with a 24-hour contact
number for reporting suspension of work due to inclement weather. Time delays for suspension of work
due to inclement weather shall not be counted towards the schedule limits identified in Section 4 of this
Page 3 of 22
SOW, provided: notice has been provided to the Project Manager a minimum of 4 hours prior to the
scheduled start of work for the day OR notice is provided to the Project Manager during the work day,
while work is being conducted, at the earliest time that inclement weather is observed or publicly
reported. Note that for suspension of work due to inclement weather to avoid counting towards the
project schedule, ALL work on all project sites must be suspended. If the County or Park determines
that weather conditions create unsafe or undesirable conditions for the County, State, or public, for
conducting construction activities, the Project Manager shall notify the Contractor of a mandatory
suspension of work. Suspension of work mandated by the County shall not be counted towards the
maximum schedule requirements for the project. Any partial days worked prior to County notification of
mandatory suspension of work shall not be counted towards the maximum project schedule. After
notification of mandatory suspension of work, the Project Manager shall notify the Contractor when
work can resume. The Contractor shall not be entitled to a demobilization or remobilization fee for
suspension of work, either voluntary or mandatory.
8. CONTRACTOR SUPERINTENDENCE
Contractor shall keep on the Project during its progress, a full-time competent English speaking
superintendent and any necessary assistants, all satisfactory to the County and Project Manager. The
superintendent shall not be changed except with the prior written consent of the County or Project
Manager, unless the superintendent proves to be unsatisfactory to the Contractor and ceases to be in its
employ. The superintendent shall represent Contractor and all directions given to the superintendent
shall be as binding as if given to Contractor and will be confirmed in writing by County or Project
Manager upon the written request of Contractor. Contractor shall give efficient supervision to the work,
using its best skill and attention. The Park, County, and Project Manager shall be provided telephone
number(s) for the superintendent where the superintendent can be contacted during normal working
hours, as well as after hours for emergencies.

construction are depicted in Attachment G and Attachment D and described in Attachments B and C.
For this project, the Park has established a maximum speed for any equipment within Park boundaries
of 15 miles per hour.
Any changes to the limits of access and construction may not be guaranteed to be approved during the
construction phase of the project. The County's response, whether in the affirmative or negative, to any
request for a variation in the limits of access, will not be cause for additional time or compensation to
the Contractor.

23. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. PROTECTION OF LISTED SPECIES
The project site contains habitat for federal and state protected species including the KLWR and KLCM.
The Contractor is responsible for coordinating work with the Project Manager and may need to adjust
construction methodologies and construction schedule for certain activities, in order to avoid impacts to
protected species. The Contractor will not receive additional compensation for construction methods or
adjustments in construction methods or schedules to protect species. Accordingly, the Contractor
should become familiar with all wildlife conservation requirements identified in Attachment A, and shall
plan to utilize construction methodologies and take additional precautions as necessary to avoid impacts
to protected species. Key conditions for protection of KLWR and KLCM include:
• All vegetation to be removed must be cut by hand (chain saws and similar hand-held
equipment allowed);
• All vegetative debris, with the exception of small piles of vegetation (less than 25 cubic feet),
and demolition debris must be removed daily and will not be allowed to be stored on site
overnight, either open or containerized;
• The heavy equipment allowed for specific use within designated areas will be limited to the
smallest size necessary to safely remove any structures, keeping impacts as minimal as
possible;
• If a living KLWR or KLCM is encountered during construction, all construction activities in the
vicinity must cease until the animal leaves of its own volition;
• If a dead KLWR or KLCM is found during construction, all construction activities in the
vicinity must stop, the animal must be left in place and construction activities may not
resume until the US FWS has authorized work to resume;
• Vegetation removal is not permitted for the purpose of allowing access for machinery larger
than the minimum size equipment needed for the work.
In addition to KLWR and KLCM, Dagny Johnson Park provides habitat for numerous other wildlife
species, including several threatened/endangered species. The Contractor must be careful not to disturb
areas outside of the designated work zone, and must report any wildlife sightings, encounters with
protected species, or injuries to protected species, to the Project Manager immediately. The
County/Park staff will be relocating tree snails during the clearing of vegetation, as described in below in
Section 23(B).
Page 12 of 22
B. CLEARING OF VEGETATION AND PROTECTION OF SURROUNDING VEGETATION
This project is within a State Botanical Park, therefore, the Contractor must use extreme caution and
avoid impacting vegetation outside of the footprint of the restoration site. Contractor is responsible for
preventing impacts to all off -site trees and other vegetation, as well as to specifically identified trees to
remain within the limits of construction. Protection measures may include tree protection fencing and
root pruning.
Trimming as required for site access must be conducted by the Contractor in accordance with the most
recent version of the ANSI A-300 standards and associated best management practices. Tree trimming
activities shall be conducted by hand under the direction of a Contractor staff member (or
subcontractor) that is an ISA Certified Arborist. (Pruning will not be conducted by Park staff.)
Clearing or removal of trees is only authorized within the limits of construction. Prior to commencing
any clearing or trimming work, the Contractor shall submit a "Clearing Plan" to the Project Manager
which identifies the boundaries and dimensions of the proposed clearing and trimming areas and shall
specify methods for protecting vegetation outside of those areas. Additionally, the Contractor shall
delineate the limits of the proposed clearing on the site. Once the Contractor has received permission
to proceed with the proposed clearing and trimming, the Contractor shall allow the County's Project
Manager and Park staff to inspect cut vegetation for the presence of tree snails prior to disposal of or
chipping of cut debris. All removals shall be flush -cut level with the existing grade.
If it is found that additional tree removal (outside of the areas identified in the Clearing Plan) is required
for trees in conflict with the proposed restoration work, then the Contractor must obtain approval from
Project Manager prior to conducting the removal.
All vegetation removed through trimming or clearing activities must be properly disposed of by the
Contractor. It may be disposed of off -site at an approved facility or chipped for use as mulch for new
plantings, in accordance with the restrictions listed in the Biological Opinion.
All vegetation protection requirements shall be considered as incidental to project costs.
C. DECONTAMINATION PROTOCOL FOR INVASIVE SPECIES
Dagny Johnson Park is considered a sensitive habitat, and must be protected from introduction of
invasive plant species. All equipment, including but not limited to vehicles, trailers, ATV's, and chippers,
must be cleaned with a pressure washer prior to entering the project site. This decontamination
protocol includes spraying down all equipment surfaces including the undercarriage and tires to ensure
that mud, vegetative debris, and other debris is not transported into the Park from offsite locations.
Equipment such as chain saws, loppers, etc. used for cut stump treatment must be wiped down and
cleaned, prior to arrival at the project site so that they are free of debris.
The Project Manager may inspect equipment at any time for adherence to this protocol and may refuse
entry of any vehicle or equipment not in compliance.

Additional information including estimates of cubic yards of fill, square yards, and linear feet of
pavement, and anticipated demolition methodologies are provided in Attachment C, Design
Specifications and Attachment D, Project Plans. The Contractor shall complete the restoration activities
described below.
1. IN GENERAL
The intent of the project is to remove structures (vacant since approximately the late 1970's)
and associated infrastructure and fill for the purpose of restoring upland hammock habitat. The
existing paved roadway will be reduced within the existing footprint, to create a 12 foot wide
"meandering" (non -linear) paved trail for pedestrian and vehicular access.
2. ACCESS
The Contractor will be provided access via a dirt road located on the ocean side of CR 905 at
power pole 240. Prior to construction, vegetation along the access road and on access routes

• RESTORATION ACTIVITIES
The Port Bougainville project site comprises 6.16 acres, with work consisting of a combination of
removal of structures, removal of fill, removal of roads, and planting, on seven areas as follows.
(The area identified as "Fill Area" on Attachment D is not included in this scope of work). Note
that areas with substantial fill have been identified, however all areas, unless otherwise
designated in the Biological Opinion, with a base elevation higher than the surrounding natural
grade will be required to be graded to match the surrounding elevation. The post -construction
grade must be within 18 inches of the average surrounding grade, as measured (by the Project
Manager) from multiple locations based on site conditions. Grading is intended to provide a
smooth transition with offsite contours, and must be at a slope of 4:1 or shallower.
Foundations, structures and utilities greater than 12 inches below the final grade in areas of fill
removal may remain, provided that clean soil is backfilled over them as applicable to match the
surrounding grade.
All demolished materials must be removed from the site daily to minimize the possibility of
KLWR and KLCM usage. Existing asphalt to remain shall not be damaged and must be repaired at
Contractor's expense if damaged during demolition activities. Where possible, path meanders
should incorporate the location of manholes
1) Tennis Courts: 1.21 Acres. Removal of asphalt and chain link fencing. This area is identified on

the Biological Opinion. Only the asphalt leading to the structure is to be removed. This area
is identified on the Project Plans (Attachment D) on Sheet C-9.
7) Roads: 2.15 Acres. Removal of asphalt and base material. Asphalt removal will require saw -
cutting to leave the desired 12-foot remaining asphalt roadway intact. This area is identified
on the Project Plans (Attachment D) on Sheets C-2 through C-6. Contractor to selectively
remove asphalt to follow the cleanest/best path, providing a meandering pattern where
possible, and avoiding exposing manhole covers.
• PLANTING
Planting must be performed using native stock grown in the Park's Native Plant Nursery. The
Park will provide a maximum of 300 three -gallon plants to be planted within the limits of
construction after completion of restoration activities. The Park staff will determine the
appropriate material for the site and will provide the Contractor with the plants and a planting
plan (at no direct cost to the Contractor).The Project Manager will instruct the Contractor on the
location of the planting areas and placement of planting materials. Contractor will be
responsible for transportation of plants from John Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo to the
project site.
Installation
The Contractor will be required to install native vegetation at the Port Bougainville site, in the
area designated by the Park. The Contractor must conduct planting activities in accordance with
the most recent version of ANSI standards and associated best management practices, and in
accordance with the following Park requirements:
1) The depth of planting holes shall be twice the width of the root ball mass and soil from the
pot to allow the roots to properly spread out.
2) Planting holes may not be dug by auger, they must be mechanically excavated or hand dug.
3) Plants shall be installed so that the root ball mass and soil protrude approximately one -inch
above the hole.
4) Any roots that are wound around and root bound in the pot will be carefully broken apart
prior to installation in the hole.
Page 18 of 22
5) Soil that is removed for the hole will be replaced to fill the hole and may be amended as
needed to ensure plant survival.
6) The use of fertilizers will not be required. If needed, organic fertilizers can be used at a
minimal rate as needed to ensure survival of the plants.
Mulch
The Contractor must place a three inch layer of mulch over the excavated planting pit of each
newly installed plant, leaving a three-inch gap around the trunk. Mulch must be free of dyes and
viable seeds, and must not consist of cypress material. Mulch may consist of vegetative material
cut and chipped on site, which was required to be removed for access and/or construction.

unable to avoid soil compaction, the Contractor will be required to aerate the soil using an air
spade.
• COMPLIANCE WITH MAY 8, 2015 US FWS BIOLOGICAL OPINION
The US FWS Biological Opinion, provided as Attachment A of this SOW, has specific conditions
and requirements for construction. The following summary of requirements from the Biological
Opinion (BO) is included here for emphasis and illustrative purposes only; the original language
of the Biological Opinion must be followed and take precedence over the summary version
provided herein. Required activities for construction of artificial wildlife nests and wildlife
monitoring will be conducted by Park personnel.
o All vegetation will be trimmed from within the designated work areas by the Contractor
using chain saws or hand tools only (collectively defined as machinery), unless otherwise
permitted in the BO. Care will be taken to avoid any tree removal on the edges of the
defined work area to the maximum extent possible. All cut vegetation will be removed daily,
and piles or other accumulations of vegetation will not be left overnight, with the exception
Page 19 of 22
of small piles of vegetation (less than 25 cubic feet), which may be permanently deposited in
adjacent hammock habitat. Concrete or any debris is prohibited in any area. All demolished
materials must be removed from each work area daily to minimize the possibility of KLWR
and KLCM usage. Any vegetation to be used as mulch must be mulched and stored at the
designated temporary mulch staging area at the end of each workday.
o Park will provide native vegetation from stock grown in the Park's native plant nursery to be
planted within the areas disturbed by heavy equipment after the completion of restoration
activities to supplement natural recruitment and ensure successful hammock restoration.
The Park will instruct the Contractor on the location of the planting area and placement of
planting materials. Based on Service recommendations, the trees and shrubs will be planted
at densities no lower than one plant per 50 square feet of planting area, and no higher than
one plant per 25 square feet of planting area.
o In order to avoid compaction of soil in cleared areas and to ensure plant colonization and
growth, disking or air spades (near existing trees) will be used, as needed, to loosen soils
compacted by equipment.
o Heavy equipment will be used in some of the work areas as described below. The size of the
heavy equipment used will be limited to the available access to each individual work area.
The selected heavy equipment will be limited to the smallest size necessary to safely
remove any structures, keeping impacts as minimal as possible. Vegetation will not be
removed to allow the use of larger heavy equipment.
o The outer edge of the staging area, site ingress/egress, asphalt areas, and other areas for all
locations where heavy equipment will be used shall be plotted with / by Global Positioning
System unit, mapped, and provided to the Project Manager. These areas will delineated
with coordination with the Service and will be roped off prior to construction.
o Tennis Courts Specific Activity and Minimization Measures: The asphalt and fill from within
the tennis court will be removed with heavy equipment. The outer rocky edges of the tennis
courts will not be removed. Based on Service recommendations, FDEP will create an inward
sloping wall during fill removal to be no less than 2:1 (width:height). However, due to
varying elevations surrounding the tennis courts, this may not be feasible in all areas and
the FDEP will coordinate with the Service to adjust this slope should it be deemed
necessary. No fill removal is proposed on the access roads or in between the courts. Any
fence removal, if desired, will occur with minimum vegetation removal. Fence removal work
will be conducted from inside the tennis courts, and all materials will be brought inward,
toward the center of the courts. Machinery, which could include heavy equipment, will be
used for the fence removal. All lights will be removed, including those outside of the fenced
area. While access to the tennis courts is available via open paths, the heavy equipment will
not increase the size of access or staging areas.
o Bathhouse Specific Activity and Minimization Measures: Materials will be demolished and
removed by hand only and carried to small construction vehicles staged at the asphalt edge.
The current width of the recommended location of ingress/egress is a maximum 13 feet.
The size of the access or staging areas will not be enlarged. Machinery, which could include
heavy equipment, may be used to cut and remove vegetation from within the designated
Page 20 of 22
work area. However, tree removal on the edges of the defined work area shall be avoided to
the maximum extent possible.
o House Specific Activity and Minimization Measures: While there is adequate access for
heavy equipment to be utilized at the house, the location will require some removal of
hammock to allow for a maximum of 13-foot wide ingress/egress. Machinery, which could
include heavy equipment, will be used to cut and remove vegetation from the
ingress/egress area and from within the designated work area. However, care will be taken
to avoid any tree removal on the edges of the defined ingress/egress and work area to the
maximum extent possible.
o Restaurant and Tunnel Specific Activity and Minimization Measures: There is adequate
access for heavy equipment to be utilized at the restaurant and tunnel. The size of the
access or staging areas will not be enlarged. Machinery, which could include heavy
equipment, may be used to cut and remove vegetation from within the designated work
area. However, care will be taken to avoid any tree removal on the edges of the defined
work area to the maximum extent possible.
o Lodge Specific Activity and Minimization Measures: There is adequate access for heavy
equipment to be utilized at the lodge. The current ingress/egress width is a maximum of 13
feet. The size of the access or staging areas will not be enlarged. The stacked natural wood
piles will be dispersed in the hammock or used in the construction of artificial nests
throughout the Park. Any natural logs not used for nests shall be removed by hand to the
outer limits of the lodge area where they will be cut and loaded onto small construction
vehicles for removal from the site. Milled wood or lumber cannot be used in artificial nest
construction or dispersed into the hammock and must be discarded. Care will be taken to
not disturb the fill, particularly on the edges, when removing the concrete foundation.
Machinery, which could include heavy equipment, will be used to cut and remove
vegetation from within the designated work area. However, care will be taken to avoid any
tree removal on the edges of the defined work area to the maximum extent possible. No fill
will be removed from this location.
o Foundation Specific Activity and Minimization Measures: Due to the high density of KLCM
and the amount of quality hammock that would need to be removed, no demolition will
occur at this site. No vegetation or fill will be removed from within the foundation work
area. The asphalt leading up to the site will be removed, with heavy equipment, up to the
vegetated edge of the extent of the asphalt. Care will be taken to avoid any tree removal on
the edges of the defined work area to the maximum extent possible.
o Roads Specific Activity and Minimization Measures: Asphalt will be removed with the
exception of a 12-foot wide roadway that will be left intact. Saw -cutting will be used to
remove the asphalt following the cleanest/best path, providing a meandering pattern where
possible (avoiding exposing manhole covers). Additionally, the machinery removing the
asphalt roadways will not disturb an area greater than the area being removed and will
avoid any tree removal on the edges to the maximum extent possible.
o If a living KLWR or KLCM is encountered during land clearing or demolition, all work will
immediately stop and the animal will be allowed to leave the area under its own volition.
Page 21 of 22
Land clearing and demolition work will not resume until the animal has left the project site.
If a dead KLWR or KLCM is encountered during land clearing or demolition, all work will
immediately stop, and the animal will be left in situ. The original material surrounding it will
be immediately returned to its original configuration to the maximum extent practicable.
The Service will then be contacted for further instructions. Demolition or debris removal will
not resume until authorized by the Service.

Dear Mr. Rice:
This document transmits the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) Biological Opinion to
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for the revised North Key Largo
restoration project located in Monroe County, Florida. This document amends the Service's
2011 Biological Opinion (41420-2011-F-0183; BO)(Service 2011) for the removal of structures on
Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park (Dagny) and analyzes the effects of the
revised project on the endangered American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus), the endangered Key
Largo cotton mouse (Peromyscus gossypinus allapaticola; KLCM), the endangered Key Largo
woodrat (Neotoma floridana smalli; KLWR), the endangered Schaus swallowtail butterfly
(Heraclides aristodemus ponceanus; Schaus), the threatened eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon
corals couperi), and the threatened Stock Island tree snail (Orthalicus yeses reses; SITS) in
accordance with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act) (87 Stat. 884;
16 U,S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The Service is consulting with DEP on this project under section 7 of the Act because there is a
Federal nexus from the expenditure of compensation funds from the federally funded Key Largo
Wastewater Treatment Plant. The funds were transferred to Monroe County as compensation
resulting from the Service's evaluation of the construction and expansion of the Key Largo
Wastewater Treatment Plant (Biological Opinion [41420-2000-T-0736] [Service 2001],
Technical Assistance [TA] [41420-2006-FA-1604] [Service 2006]). According to the terms of
the Service's October 2006 TA letter to the Key Largo Wastewater Treatment District, the
Service agreed the funds may be used cooperatively with the DEP to restore tropical hardwood
hammock on the island of Key Largo. The biological opinion for the original North Key Largo
w r
restoration project was issued on August 17, 2011, and analyzed hand clearing of structures to
address hazards in Dagny. DEP is requesting to modify the project to include the use of heavy
equipment' to complete the restoration work within Dagny at the Port Bougainville (Port B)
restoration sites.
This amendment only addresses restoration work at the Port B site. Any modifications to the
project at Dagny's other two sites (Old Roads and Nike Radar) would need to be addressed in a
separate amendment. This Biological Opinion only provides updates and revisions to the
applicable portions of the original BO. However, the Conclusion and Incidental Take Statement
(associated assessment, Reasonable and Prudent Measures, and Terms and Conditions) are
comprehensive and cover the entire project. The pages in which revisions are made are indicated
in the header of each section.
This amendment is based on information provided in the November 2013 draft Request for
Proposal for Habitat Restoration Project within Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock State Park
(Monroe County 2013; RFP), email messages, telephone conversations, site visits, and other
sources of information. A complete record of this consultation is on file at the South Florida
Ecological Services Office, Vero Beach, Florida.
Consultation History (Page 2)
During a phone conversation on November 22, 2013, DEP and Monroe County requested to
reinitiate formal consultation with the Service to modify the restoration project at Port B, located
within Dagny, for the KLWR and KLCM. Over the next several months, the Service conducted
several meetings with DEP and Monroe County to identify the feasibility of modifying the
original project to use heavy equipment to conduct restoration and to gather species information.
On February 26, 2014, the Service, DEP, and Monroe County discussed the restoration plans at
the Port B site. The parties agreed that a site visit would be required to: 1) better define the work
area, 2) identify if the use of heavy equipment was feasible, what restrictions would be required,
and 3) evaluate the need for additional surveys in the event heavy equipment was used.
On March 10, 2014, the Service conducted a site visit of the Port B restoration areas. During this
meeting the Service identified the necessary survey areas. It was determined that trapping
surveys would be conducted by the Service with participation by the DEP and any biologists
who may do work as part of the restoration project.
The Service conducted trapping surveys for KLWR and KLCM at the various work areas within
Port B outlined in the project between April 7, 2014, and April 11, 2014.
1 Heavy equipment refers to heavy-duty vehicles, specially designed for executing construction tasks, most
frequently ones involving earthwork operations. Heavy equipment includes vehicles such as excavators, loaders,
and dump trucks and come in various sizes. The size of the heavy equipment used will be limited to the available
access to each individual work area and will be the smallest size necessary to safely remove any structures, keeping
impacts as minimal as possible.
2
On June 24, 2014, the Service met with DEP and Monroe County at the Port B restoration areas
to discuss survey results and outline the potential effects from the use of heavy equipment.
Potential ingress/egress and staging areas were identified as well as some possible additional
minimization measures for each location in the event heavy equipment would be used.
On July 31, 2014, the Service spoke with the DEP by phone regarding the potential impacts from
restoration and to finalize the minimization efforts that would be required to reduce the effects of
using heavy equipment on the soils and to listed species.
As of July 31, 2014, the Service had received all the information necessary for reinitiation of
formal consultation as required in the regulations governing interagency consultations (50 CFR
§ 402.14).
BIOLOGICAL OPINION
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION (Page 2)
The DEP, in coordination with Monroe County, proposes to perform upland hammock
restoration activities consisting primarily of demolition and removal of structures, fill removal,
grading, and planting of native vegetation. Funds that were transferred to Monroe County as
compensation resulting from the Service's June 11, 2001, BO and October 26, 2006, TA will be
used to accomplish the required minimum of 4.2 acres of hammock restoration. Any restoration
work completed using this funding will be conducted by a contractor hired by Monroe County in
accordance with the County's purchasing procedures. The project proposes to restore the same
acreage identified in the original BO which includes 13.16 acres of hammock in North Key
Largo. The Service recognizes that the entire project may not be completed with the amount of
available compensation funds. The requirements for restoration in the referenced BO and TA
will be considered fulfilled when a minimum of 4.2 acres of hammock have been restored.
The portion of the project that is proposed in Port B comprises 6.16 acres of hammock in seven
distinct areas. The seven work areas are identified as the: Tennis Courts, Bathhouse, House,
Restaurant and Tunnel, Lodge, Foundation, and Roads. An onsite staging area will be identified
to temporarily hold mulch that will be distributed on site.
The project will include the following general restoration activities and minimization measures
within Port B:
All vegetation will be trimmed by workers using chain saws or hand tools (collectively
defined as machinery) from within the designated work areas unless otherwise discussed
in this amendment. Care will be taken to avoid any tree removal on the edges of the
defined work area to the maximum extent possible. All cut vegetation will be removed
daily, and piles or other accumulations of vegetation will not be left overnight with the
exception of small vegetation piles (less than 25 cubic feet), which may be permanently
deposited in adjacent hammock habitat.
2. Concrete or any debris is prohibited in any area. All demolished materials must be
removed from each work area daily to minimize the possibility of KLWR and KLCM
usage. Any vegetation to be used as mulch must be mulched and stored at the designated
temporary mulch staging area at the end of each workday.
Feral cats are a major threat impacting federal and state endangered species within Dagny
and on the Service's neighboring public lands. DEP will continue to allow Service staff
to conduct feral cat monitoring and trapping within the park boundaries. DEP will
procure and monitor six remote cameras within the park boundaries, and within 1 year
from project completion develop and implement a strategy for long-term, management of
feral cats within Dagny.
4. DEP will secure the necessary materials to construct artificial KLWR nest structures.
The nest structures will be constructed at the Bathhouse, House, Restaurant and Tunnel,
and Lodge at least 3 months prior to the start of any restoration activity. DEP will
organize any work force that may be required to construct the nest structures. The
Service has had success in constructing artificial KLWR nest structures and will provide
support for the design and construction of the artificial nest.
5. DEP will provide native vegetation from stock grown in Dagny's native plant nursery to
be planted within the areas disturbed by heavy equipment after the completion of
restoration activities to supplement natural recruitment and ensure successful hammock
restoration. The DEP will instruct Monroe County's contractor on the location of the
planting area and placement of planting materials. Based on Service recommendations,
the trees and shrubs will be planted at densities no lower than one plant per 50 square feet
of planting area, and no higher than one plant per 25 square feet of planting area. The
DEP will monitor the planted vegetation for 3 years and will provide additional plants if
the survival rate falls below 75 percent.
6. In order to avoid compaction of soil in cleared areas and to ensure plant colonization and
growth, disking or air spades (near existing trees) will be used, as needed, to loosen soils
compacted by equipment.
7. Heavy equipment will be used in some of the work areas as described below. The size of
the heavy equipment used will be limited to the available access to each individual work
area. The selected heavy equipment will be limited to the smallest size necessary to
safely remove any structures, keeping impacts as minimal as possible. Vegetation will
not be removed to allow the use of larger heavy equipment.
8. The outer edge of the staging area, site ingress/egress, asphalt areas, and other areas for
all locations where heavy equipment will be used shall be plotted with Global Positioning
System unit, mapped, and provided to the contractor and any onsite biologist. These
areas will delineated with coordination with the Service and will be roped off prior to
construction.
4
A description of each of the Port B restoration areas size, general restoration activities proposed,
survey effort, and area specific restoration activities and minimization measures are as follows:
Tennis Courts: Size: 1.21 acres. Restoration activity: Removal of asphalt, chain link
fencing and collection of fill from within the tennis court areas from the fence line inward
(toward individual courts).
Survey effort: No trapping was conducted at the tennis courts during the week of
surveying performed by the Service.
Specific activity and minimization measures: The asphalt and fill from within the tennis
court will be removed with heavy equipment. The outer rocky edges of the tennis courts
will not be removed. Based on Service recommendations, DEP will create an inward
sloping wall during fill removal to be no less than 2:1 (width:height). However, due to
varying elevations surrounding the tennis courts this may not be feasible in all areas and
the DEP will coordinate with the Service to adjust this slope should it be deemed
necessary. No fill removal is proposed on the access roads or in between the courts. Any
fence removal, if desired, will occur with minimum vegetation removal. Fence removal
work will be conducted from inside the tennis courts and all materials will be brought
inward, toward the center of the courts. Machinery, which could include heavy
equipment, will be used for the fence removal. All lights will be removed, including
those outside of the fenced area. While access to the tennis courts is available via open
paths, the heavy equipment will not increase the size of access or staging areas.
2. Bathhouse: Size: 0.30 acres. Restoration activity: Removal of structure and scattered
debris.
Surveys: No trapping was conducted at the bathhouse during the week of surveying
performed by the Service.
Specific activity and minimization measures: Materials will be demolished and removed
by hand only and carried to small construction vehicles staged at the asphalt edge. The
current width of the recommended location of ingress/egress is a maximum 13 feet. The
size of the access or staging areas will not be enlarged. Machinery, which could include
heavy equipment, may be used to cut and remove vegetation from within the designated
work area. However, tree removal on the edges of the defined work area shall be avoided
to the maximum extent possible. Because of the debris removal, prior to demolition, a
minimum of 6 artificial nests will be constructed in multiple locations surrounding the
bath house area.
3. House: Size: 0.45 acres. Restoration activity: Removal of structure, removal of fill
material to return the area to an elevation even with surrounding natural grade.
Surveys: Surveys were conducted over 3 nights at the house. Over the course of
trapping, a KLCM was captured at 3 different trap sites (2 individuals, 1 recapture).
Specific activity and minimization measures: While there is adequate access for heavy
equipment to be utilized at the house, the location will require some removal of hammock
to allow for a maximum of 13-foot wide ingress/egress. Machinery, which could include
heavy equipment, will be used to cut and remove vegetation from ingress/egress area and
from within the designated work area. However, care will be taken to avoid any tree
removal on the edges of the defined ingress/egress and work area to the maximum
extent possible. Due to the high density of KLCM, prior to demolition a minimum of
12 artificial nests will be constructed in multiple locations surrounding the house area.
4. Restaurant and Tunnel: Size: 1.30 acres. Restoration activity: Removal of structures and
planting native plants supplied by DEP as described in minimization measure 5 listed
above.
Surveys: Surveys were conducted over 4 nights at the restaurant and tunnel. Over
the course of trapping a KLCM was captured at 3 different trap sites (2 individuals,
1 recapture).
Specific activity and minimization measures: There is adequate access for heavy
equipment to be utilized at the restaurant and tunnel. The size of the access or staging
areas will not be enlarged. Machinery, which could include heavy equipment, may be
used to cut and remove vegetation from within the designated work area. However, care
will be taken to avoid any tree removal on the edges of the defined work area to the
maximum extent possible. Due to the high density of KLCM, prior to demolition a
minimum of 10 artificial nests will be constructed in multiple locations surrounding the
tunnel area.
5. Lodge: Size: 0.62 acres. Restoration activity: Removal of structures, wood piles, broken
asphalt, and collection of concrete foundation to return the area to an elevation even with
surrounding natural grade.
Surveys: Surveys were conducted over 4 nights at the lodge. Both KLWR's and KLCM
were caught during trapping at the lodge. At least one targeted species was captured on
each night traps were set. KLCM were caught at 2 different trap sites (2 individuals,
1 recapture) on 3 nights that traps were set. KLWR's were caught at 3 different trap sites
(2 individuals, 1 recaptured twice) on 3 nights the traps were set. Both KLCM and
KLWR's were caught within and around the structure. One KLWR was spotted entering
a nest after being released.
Specific activity and minimization measures: There is adequate access for heavy
equipment to be utilized at the lodge. The current ingress/egress width is a maximum of
13 feet. The size of the access or staging areas will not be enlarged. The stacked natural
wood piles will be dispersed in the hammock or used in the construction of artificial nests
throughout Dagny. Any natural logs not used for nests shall be removed by hand to the
outer limits of the lodge area where they will be cut and loaded onto small construction
r
vehicles for removal from the site. Milled wood or lumber cannot be used in artificial
nest construction or dispersed into the hammock and must be discarded. Care will be
taken to not disturb the fill, particularly on the edges, when removing the concrete
foundation. Machinery, which could include heavy equipment, will be used to cut and
remove vegetation from within the designated work area. However, care will be taken to
avoid any tree removal on the edges of the defined work area to the maximum extent
possible. Due to the high density of both KLWR's and KLCM, prior to demolition a
minimum of 18 artificial nests be constructed in multiple locations surrounding the lodge
area, using natural logs from within the lodge. No fill will be removed from this location.
6. Foundation: Size: 0.13 acres. Restoration activity: Removal of structure.
Surveys: Surveys were conducted over 3 nights at the foundation. Over the course of
trapping a KLCM was captured at 3 different trap sites (2 individuals, 1 recapture).
Specific activity and minimization measures: Due to the high density of KLCM and the
amount of quality hammock that would need to be removed, no demolition will occur at
this site. No vegetation or fill will be removed from within the foundation work area.
The asphalt leading up to the site will be removed, with heavy equipment, up to the
vegetated edge of the extent of the asphalt. Care will be taken to avoid any tree removal
on the edges of the defined work area to the maximum extent possible.
7. Roads: Size: 2.15 acres. Restoration activity: Removal of asphalt.
Surveys: No trapping was conducted in association with the roads during the week of
surveying performed by the Service.
Specific activity and minimization measures: Asphalt will be removed with the exception
of a 12-foot wide roadway that will be left intact. Saw -cutting will be used to remove the
asphalt following the cleanest/best path, providing a meandering pattern where possible,
and avoiding exposing manhole covers. Additionally, the machinery removing the
asphalt roadways will not disturb an area greater than the area being removed and will
avoid any tree removal on the edges to the maximum extent possible.
Action Area (Page 3)
The action area was originally defined as approximately 19.07 acres of hammock and transitional
wetlands at three previously disturbed sites. The introduction of heavy equipment expands the
area in which KLWR and KLCM will be affected. However, this temporary loss of habitat does
not expand the original action area. The action area specific to the revised project is the
combined footprints of the Port B work areas (6.16 acres).
7
STATUS OF THE SPECIES/CRITICAL HABITAT
Analysis of the species/critical habitat likely to be affected
Other species in the Action Area (Page 12)
In addition to the KLWR and KLCM, the American crocodile, eastern indigo snake, Schaus, and
SITS also occur within the project's action area.
The project area is within the boundaries of designated critical habitat for the American
crocodile. Suitable nesting habitat for the American crocodile will not be affected. Therefore,
the Service finds the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the
American crocodile and its designated critical habitat.
Historically, the eastern indigo snake ranged throughout the upland habitats of the Florida Keys;
however, its present distribution is uncertain. Suitable habitat for the eastern indigo snake
includes a mosaic of habitats in which they establish home ranges of up to 183 acres for males,
and up to 120 acres for females (Layne and Steiner 1996). The large home range of eastern
indigo snakes makes surveying difficult. The DEP has agreed to implement the Eastern Indigo
Snake Protection Measures (Service 2013); therefore, the Service finds the proposed project may
affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the eastern indigo snake.
The Schaus is a blackish -large brown and yellow butterfly found in the tropical hardwood
hammocks extending from Southern Miami -Dade County to Lower Matecumbe Key. All
restoration sites contain suitable habitat for the Schaus. Schaus were documented within Dagny
during pedestrian surveys conducted by the DEP's environmental consultant. No additional
surveys for Schaus were conducted specifically for this project and no Schaus were identified
during the Service's on site visits. The scope of work does not include the removal of plant species
used by the Schaus and a minimal amount of vegetation removal is expected to occur. Therefore
the Service finds the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the Schaus.
SITS feed primarily on wild tamarind (Lysiloma bahamensis), willow bustic (Bumelia salicifolia),
poisonwood (Metopium toxiferum), gumbo limbo (Bursera simaruba), pigeon plum (Coccoloba
diversifola), ironwood (Krugiodendron ferreum), wild lime, mastic (Mastichodendron
foetidissimum), and strongbark (Bourreria sp.), but may also feed on other species. All of these
tree species are found within Dagny and may be present in a density or environment at the work
areas that creates a microclimate (shade, humidity, temperature) favorable for tree snails. While no
protocol surveys for SITS were conducted and no SITS were identified during the Service's on site
visits, the sites contain suitable habitat for this species and SITS are known to be present within
Dagny. The scope of work requires a minimal amount of vegetation removal. To minimize the
possibility affecting the SITS, the DEP has agreed to stop work if the SITS are found within a
designated work area and to contact the Service for guidance, before work is continued. Therefore,
the Service finds the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the SITS.
8
EFFECTS OF THE ACTION
The project site contains suitable habitat and is located within the geographic range of the
KLWR and KLCM. Both KLWRs and KLCM are currently found within the proposed
construction footprint. The time required to complete construction of the project is not known.
It is unknown when new hammock will be mature enough for KLWRs and KLCM to utilize the
work areas.
Analyses for effects of the action (Page 17)
Direct Effects: The restoration activities and temporary habitat loss during the clearing and
removal of structures, fill, and roads may result in take of the KLWR and the KLCM. The
probability of incidental take is dependent upon the number of KLWRs and KLCM in the area,
their dispersal abilities, and the amount and distribution of available, suitable habitat. The use of
heavy equipment can crush or injure individual KLWRs and KLCM and destroy or degrade
nesting and foraging habitat. In addition, construction activities may adversely affect KLWRs
and KLCM by causing them to leave the area and miss foraging and mating opportunities.
Individuals fleeing the area may be more vulnerable to predation. Therefore, the probability of
take during restoration work at Port B has increased with the additional use of heavy equipment.
With proper safeguards in place, direct mortality of the KLWR and the KLCM as a result of the
added use of heavy equipment can be minimized.
The proposed action will directly result in the temporary loss of 6.16 acres of potentially suitable
habitat, some of which provides foraging and breeding habitat for KLWRs and KLCM. A total of
2,498 acres of suitable KLWR and KLCM habitat currently occurs in North Key Largo.
Therefore, the project will result in temporary impacts to less than 0.5 percent of the geographic
range of these species, and much of that 0.5 percent is currently concrete, asphalt or road beds.
Species response to the prosed action
The project will result in increased human activity (e.g., equipment, construction personnel,
surveys, replanting, etc.). As a result, KLWRs and KLCM may leave the area and miss foraging
and mating opportunities. Individuals fleeing the area may be more vulnerable to predation. The
increase in human activity could cause the KLWR and the KLCM to avoid using existing
adjacent habitat, resulting in additional temporary habitat loss. However, KLWRs and KLCM
present adjacent to the restoration activities could acclimate to the human activities and not
abandon adjacent habitat. The number of individuals that will be present at the time of the action
is not known. The data collected from surveys cannot accurately determine population density
estimates of KLWRs or KLCM within the work areas. The Service anticipates that with the
implemented minimization measures, planting of native hammock vegetation, and installation of
artificial nest structures on lands adjacent to the work areas that KLWRs and KLCM will
eventually reoccupy the work areas.
9
The following sections address the entire project.
CONCLUSION
After reviewing the current status of the KLWR and KLCM, the environmental baseline for the
action area, the effects of the proposed action, and the cumulative effects, it is the Service's
biological opinion that the revised project, as proposed, is not likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of the KLWR or the KLCM.
Our conclusion is based on the fact that the original project will result in the temporary loss of
19.07 acres of KLWR and KLCM habitat which includes the 6.16 acres of KLWR and KLCM
habitat within Port B where the use of heavy equipment will be used to complete the removal of
existing structures. Therefore, the revised project will result in temporary impacts to habitat that
are less than 0.5 percent of the geographic range of these species. In addition, KLWR and
KLCM are expected to reoccupy the work areas over time with the implemented minimization
measures, planting of native hammock vegetation, and installation of artificial nest structures on
lands adjacent to the work areas. Furthermore, the restoration is expected to benefit the overall
survival and recovery of the KLWR and KLCM because of the improvements to the habitat and
the addition of the artificial nests. Critical habitat has not been designated for the KLWR and
KLCM; therefore, none will be affected.
INCIDENTAL TAKE STATEMENT
Section 9 of the Act and Federal regulation pursuant to section 4(d) of the Act prohibit the take
of endangered and threatened species, respectively, without special exemption. Take is defined
as to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or collect, or to attempt to
engage in any such conduct. Harm is further defined by the Service to include significant habitat
modification or degradation that results in death or injury to listed species by significantly
impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding, or sheltering. Harass is
defined by the Service as intentional or negligent actions that create the likelihood of injury to
listed species to such an extent as to significantly disrupt normal behavior patterns which
include, but are not limited to, breeding, feeding, or sheltering. Incidental take is defined as take
that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, the carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity.
Under the terms of section 7(b)(4) and section 7(o)(2), taking that is incidental to, and not
intended as part of the agency action, is not considered to be prohibited taking under the Act
provided such taking is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this incidental take
statement.
The terms and conditions described below are nondiscretionary and must be undertaken by the
DEP so they become binding conditions of any grant or permit issued to the DEP, as appropriate,
for the exemption in section 7(o)(2) to apply. The DEP has a continuing duty to regulate the
activity covered by this incidental take statement. If the DEP (1) fails to assume and implement
the terms and conditions or (2) fails to require DEP to adhere to the terms and conditions of the
incidental take statement through enforceable terms that are added to the permit or grant
document, the protection coverage of section 7(o)(2) may lapse. In order to monitor the impact
10
of incidental take, the DEP, must report the progress of the action and its impact on the species to
the Service as specified in the incidental take statement [50 CFR § 402.14(i)(3)].
AMOUNT OR EXTENT OF TAKE ANTICIPATED
The number of individual KLWR and KLCM that will be present at time of the action is not
known. The data collected from surveys cannot be used to accurately determine population
density estimates of KLWRs or KLCM within the work areas. The Service finds that the project
will result in harm (Le., habitat loss) to the KLWR and KLCM from the construction activities to
restore 19.07 acres of habitat. In addition, harassment of the KLWR and KLCM is anticipated
from disturbance as a result of the removal of debris and restoring natural grade. The Service
anticipates that the entire project, including the 19.07 acres of restoration and use of heavy
equipment, will result in the take of five KLWR and seven KLCM from either mortality, injury,
harm, or harassment.
If, during the course of this action, this level of take is exceeded, such take would represent new
information requiring review of the reasonable and prudent measures provided. All work should
stop and the reasonable and prudent measures must be modified immediately.
EFFECT OF THE TAKE
In the accompanying biological opinion, the Service determined this level of anticipated take is
not likely to result in jeopardy to the KLWR or KLCM. No critical habitat has been designated
for either of these species; therefore, none will be destroyed or adversely modified.
REASONABLE AND PRUDENT MEASURES
(Includes all measures from the original BO that Service believes are necessary and appropriate
to reduce take and to minimize the impacts of incidental take ofKLWR and KLCM from the
project (original and revised).
The Service believes the following reasonable and prudent measures are necessary and
appropriate to reduce take and to minimize the impacts of incidental take of KLWR and KLCM:
1. Further minimize the adverse effects of the action to the KLWR and KLCM and other
species through avoidance of certain areas (as described in the Terms and Conditions,
below), use of appropriate land clearing techniques and planting appropriate native
species.
2. Evaluate the success of the restoration plan through appropriate monitoring.
3. Minimize the adverse effects of feral animal predation on the KLWR and KLCM.
11
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
To implement the above reasonable and prudent measures, the Service has outlined the following
terms and conditions. In accordance with the Interagency Cooperation Regulation (50 CFR § 402),
these terms and conditions must be complied with to implement the reasonable and prudent
measures:
1 a. DEP will not restore 0.15 acre of emerging hammock at the Port B site marked as "Fill
Area" in Figure 2 in the BO.
1b. Trapping for presence of KLWR and KLCM was conducted by the service between
April 7, 2014, and April 11, 2014, and is no longer required prior to restoration activities
at the Port B location, as long as construction occurs or is completed by January 2016. If
construction is not completed prior to January 2016, the DEP will coordinate with the
Service to determine if additional surveys are necessary. Additionally, trapping for
presence at the other two sites (Old Roads and Nike Radar) is no longer required unless
there is a change in the scope of work to be conducted at those locations beyond what is
discussed in the original BO. If the presence of KLWR or KLCM is documented at
Old Roads or Nike Radar, the Service will be contacted to delineate areas that will be
avoided.
1 c. Procedures used to clear and grub the proposed sites will be designed to minimize the
potential for harm to the KLWR and KLCM. Existing hammock vegetation outside of
the Port B work areas described in this amendment will not be impacted. A qualified
biologist with documented experience identifying the KLWR and the KLCM (as
described in Term and Condition 2b) will be on site during the debris removal, vegetation
clearing and building demolition. If a living KLWR or KLCM is encountered during
land clearing or demolition, all work will immediately stop and the animal will be
allowed to leave the area under its own volition. Land clearing and demolition work will
not resume until the animal has left the project site. If a dead KLWR or KLCM is
encountered during land clearing or demolition, all work will immediately stop, the
animal will be left in situ. The original material surrounding it will be immediately
returned to its original configuration to the maximum extent practicable. The Service
will then be contacted (see 4, below) for further instructions. Demolition or debris
removal will not resume until authorized by the Service. All KLCM or KLWRs observed
will be recorded and this information will be provided to the Service within 10 business
days of completion of land clearing and demolition.
Id. Prior to any removal, the DEP will coordinate with the Service on the removal of any
existing debris piles that are not removed by hand outside of the Port B work areas
discussed in this amendment to determine if formal consultation is necessary. At
Old Roads and Nike Radar, demolition of concrete structures will be demolished using a
hand-held or equipment -mounted pneumatic or hydraulic jackhammer where feasible to
allow any KLWRs and KLCM hiding in or under the existing structures to leave the
project site, minimizing potential injuries.
12
le. DEP will avoid disturbance of any stick or other pile nests, and contact the Service if any
are encountered.
If. Native hammock species planted at the "Restaurant & Tunnel" location will include
pigeon plum (Coccoloba diversifolia), wild coffee (Psychotria nervosa), torchwood
(Amyris elemifera) and wild lime (Zanthoxylum fagara).
2. Surveys consisting of live trapping for KLWR and KLCM will be conducted, at a
minimum, at the sites at 1, 3 and 5 years after the restoration is completed to evaluate the
success of the restoration.
a. All procedures will follow the Service's protocol for small mammal surveys. The
following information will be recorded for each KLWR or KLCM captured
during the trapping: GPS location; the species of the each animal captured; the
date each animal was captured; the location of each animal captured; the sex,
approximate age, and mass (in grams) of each animal captured; and any other
noteworthy observations.
b. All KLWRs and KLCM captured will immediately be released unharmed at the
trap site following the recording of data. Any other threatened and endangered
species encountered within the project footprint will be recorded. Black rats
captured during the live -trapping event will be euthanized humanely. The date
and GPS location of each black rat captured as well as standard biological data
will be recorded.
c. A summary report will be provided to Service within 30 days of completion of the
initial live trapping activities. If no KLWR or KLCM are captured during the 1,
3, and 5 year surveys, the DEP will coordinate with the Service to review survey
methods and predator control management.
d. Experienced biologists are necessary to minimize take during the live -trapping
and monitoring of the KLWR and the KLCM specified in this amendment.
Qualifications include education, experience with required techniques, and
knowledge of the specific species being evaluated. Qualified individuals will be
considered by the Service at the request of the DEP and Monroe County and must
obtain a valid 10(a)(1)(A) permit.
3. Control feral and free -ranging domestic cats on the project sites in perpetuity, and educate
the public about the harm to the KLWR, KLCM, and other native wildlife species that
results when domestic cats are allowed to roam freely or are released into the wild. This
includes starting a feral cat trapping program on Dagny. Educational elements include:
a. Current hammock exhibit at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park visitor center
will be expanded in size and include information about exotic species/predators to
local flora and fauna and will specifically discuss the adverse effects of cats on
13
native wildlife.
b. An interpretive exhibit will be established at the Tunnel site located near the end of
the pavement (edge of ADA accessible area) and will display restoration activities
and imperiled species/predators to said species and will specifically discuss the
adverse effects of cats on native wildlife.
c. Winter -time interpretive walks at Port B conducted by staff and volunteers will
include a discussion on imperiled species in the area, predators to those species, and
a discussion on the adverse effects of cats on native wildlife.
REPORTING
Upon locating a dead KLWR or KLCM specimen, initial immediate notification must be made to
the nearest Service Law Enforcement Office (10426 NW 31st Terrace, Miami, Florida 33172;
305-526-2610; 305-526-2610). Secondary notification should be made to the FWC (South
Region, 8535 Northlake Boulevard West Palm Beach, Florida 33412; 561-625-5122). Care must
be taken in handling any dead specimens of proposed or listed species found in the project area
to preserve the specimen or its remains in the best possible condition. In conjunction with the
preservation of any dead specimens, the finder has the responsibility to ensure evidence intrinsic
to determining the cause of death of the specimen is not unnecessarily disturbed. The finding of
dead specimens does not imply enforcement proceedings pursuant to the Act. The reporting of
dead specimens is required to enable the Service to determine if take is reached or exceeded and
to ensure the terms and conditions are appropriate and effective.
CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Section 7(a)(1) of the Act directs Federal agencies to utilize their authorities to further the
purposes of the Act by carrying out conservation programs for the benefit of endangered and
threatened species. Conservation recommendations are discretionary agency activities to
minimize or avoid adverse effects of a proposed action on listed species or critical habitat, to
help implement recovery plans, or to develop information. The Service is not proposing any
conservation recommendations at this time.
REINITIATION - CLOSING STATEMENT
This concludes formal consultation on the revised project. As provided in 50 CFR § 402.16,
reinitiation of formal consultation is required when discretionary Federal agency involvement or
control over the action has been retained and if. (1) the amount or extent of incidental take is
exceeded; (2) the agency action is subsequently modified in a manner that causes an effect to a
listed species or critical habitat not considered in this opinion; (3) new information reveals
effects of the agency action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner or to an
extent not considered in this opinion; or (4) a new species is listed or critical habitat designated
that may be affected by the action. In instances where the amount or extent of incidental take is
exceeded, any operations causing such take must cease pending reinitiation.

TRAPPING PROTOCOL TO DETERMINE PRESENCE OF
THE KEY LARGO WOODRAT (Neotoma floridana smalli) AND THE KEY LARGO
COTTON MOUSE (Peromyscus gossypinus allapaticola)
5/9/2005
This protocol is to be used when trapping to determine presence/absence of the Key Largo
woodrat (KLWR) and Key Largo cotton mouse (KLCM) in a given area.
1. Individuals conducting the trapping should have a permit and previous experience in
live trapping small mammals (or be trained by an experienced person). They must
also be able to identify any species that may be captured during the trapping event.
2. Surveys should include all potential KLWR/KLCM habitats within the area and, if
landowner permission can be obtained, adjacent lands with potential KLWR/KLCM
habitat.
3. Trapping should be conducted over the entire project area using a grid system of
Sherman live -traps spaced at 10-15 meter intervals.
4. Traps should be set for four consecutive nights per trapping season or until an
individual of each species is caught. Unexpected drops in temperature may cause a
disruption in consecutive trapping nights.
5. Trapping will not be conducted when nighttime temperatures are forecast to be
<60° F. If temperatures are forecast to be in the mid to low 60's, cotton balls (4-5)
will be placed in the trap along with the bait.
6. Bait should consist of crimped oats and any combination of the following ingredients:
peanut butter, grapes, apples and/or sunflower seeds.
7. In areas where fire ants are present, 10% Carbaryl (Sevin) dust will be placed
immediately under the traps so that KLWRs/KLCM will not come in immediate
contact with it. Other approved methods will be considered.
8. Traps should be checked and all KLWRs/KLCM released no later than 3 hours after
official sunrise.
9. Upon capture of a KLWR or KLCM, authorized personnel identified by the Service
will be contacted immediately.
10. All captured individuals shall be handled for as briefly as possible in a humane
manner during the time it takes to tag, examine, identify, and collect necessary
biological samples. OPTIONAL: All KLWRs captured in the wild will have blood
samples taken by authorized personnel for genetic analysis. PIT (passive -induced
transponder) tags in conjunction with ear tags will be used for individual woodrat
identification and such identification will be applied by authorized personnel. All
KLWRs/KLCM shall be released at their point of capture, if possible.
11. Any black rats (Rattus rattus) captured during woodrat trapping will be euthanized
humanely. If raccoons are disturbing traps (determined by missing bait or closed
traps), the Service will be contacted and an appropriate method for minimizing trap
disturbance will be implemented. If raccoon trapping is deemed necessary, the
raccoons will be trapped using appropriately sized traps (e.g., Tomahawk). Domestic
cats are to be released on the perimeter of the study area near residences and any feral
cats captured in the traps will be brought to the local animal shelter.
12. Presence of KLWRs/KLCM can be documented in a single trapping period. To
determine absence, traps shall be operated seasonally (fall, winter, spring, summer)
for 2 years.
13. Site description and trapping data should be recorded. Site description should include
GPS location and property Real Estate'number, habitat on the project area and
adjacent lands, and trapping design relative to habitat distribution. Daily trapping
data should include number of KLWRs/KLCM trapped per day, non -target species,
and lost or missing traps. Sex, age, and reproductive status of Key Largo cotton mice
will also be reported. Digital photographs of trap setups and captured animals should
be included with the final report. All data, including all verified data, GIS files,
metadata, photographs, reports and final reports will be delivered via CD- or
DVD-ROM. All trapping information should be submitted to the following offices:

North Key Largo Restoration Project
Introduction
There are three main site locations included in this restoration project: Port
Bougainville, the Nike Radar Site, and the North Key Largo Roads (old CR 905 and Card
Sound Road).
All sites in this project are located within North Key Largo which encompasses
the area north of the intersection of US Highway 1 and CR 905. The majority of North
Key Largo is currently in public ownership, preserved as conservation land. The US Fish
and Wildlife Service's Crocodile Lakes National Wildlife Refuge is located west of CR
905 while the Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park is located east
of CR 905. A few private parcels are scattered on either side of CR905. The project sites
are located within the Botanical State Park. These areas are dominated by hardwood
hammock, salt marsh, and mangrove wetland natural communities, although the majority
of the areas to be restored in the project are within hardwood hammock. There are small
sections of transitional zone habitat located at both the Port Bougainville site and the Old
Roads site.
General Project Description
The main purpose of this project is to restore the areas to historic natural
elevations without disturbing areas that have satisfactorily succeeded to expected natural
communities. All building structures will be removed and areas scraped down to a more
natural grade to match surrounding natural community structure. All roads, sidewalks,
parking areas, and game courts will be broken up and removed. All "clean fill" from the
demolition will be sent to either the entrance channel at Port Bougainville or Carysfort
Marina both of which are currently under restoration and are permitted to receive clean
fill material. `Clean fill' is considered clean lime -rock fill (free of contaminants),
concrete rubble (smaller than 4 feet, no rebar protruding no further than 6", no paint or
coating not approved by KERF), brick, crushed glass, PVC (chipped to smaller than 6"),
clay roof or floor tiles and ceramic floor tiles free of sealants. Other material including
wood, metal, asphalt, etc will be removed from the site and disposed of at a permitted
waste facility.

Port Bougainville Site
Port Bougainville is a parcel that consists of a variety of habitats, including
hardwood hammock, mangrove and salt marsh. During the 1970's and early 1980's this
property was under construction to develop a large resort. The construction did not make
it to completion and was acquired by the State of Florida through the Conservation and
Recreational Lands (CARL) Program. Since that time, it has undergone several phases of
restoration with the goal to restore the whole area back to the historic natural condition.
As shown below previous restoration efforts have included (to name a few) filling in of
the boat basin, removal of a large fill pile within the mangroves, removal of several
partially built buildings, and filling of a `pit'. All of these areas have been restored back
to historical natural elevations and native vegetation planted in areas where needed.
This phase of restoration would see the removal of the remaining
buildings/structures and fill associated with the initial development. Most of the old roads
in the area will also be removed, except for the section located in the current day -use
section which will be minimized to twelve feet. The areas will be graded down to match
surrounding natural elevations. All demolished materials will be removed from the site
daily to minimize the possibility of Key Largo woodrat and Key Largo cotton mice
usage. Due to the healthy hardwood hammock lying adjacent to the site, only one site, the
Restaurant & Tunnel location, will be planted using native stock grown in the Park's
Native Plant Nursery. Natural recruitment will occur quite readily in the other areas.

Old Roads Site
The third site location is the area of North Key Largo encompassing old CR 905
and old Card Sound Road. These sections of road are no longer in use as highways;
instead they are used as trails through the restricted `back -country' area of Dagny
Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park (KL).
This phase of the project will include the removal of portions of old CR 905 and
old Card Sound Road. The goal will be to reduce the current width to 10 feet, which will
still allow vehicular access to the area but minimize the disturbance footprint. Extra
roadbed will be removed to create `movement' along the road, which is currently mostly
a straight road. The ends of the roadbeds will remain at the current width and slowly
tapper in to 10 feet to allow for turn -around locations. Associated fill and asphalt will be
removed on a daily basis from site to minimize the possibility of Key Largo woodrat and
Key Largo cotton mice usage. Due to the healthy hardwood hammock lying adjacent to
the roadbeds, no vegetative plantings will be necessary as recruitment will happen
naturally. Upon completion, approximately 4.86 acres of hammock and 0.49 acres of
transitional zone habitat will be restored.

Nike Radar Site
The Nike Radar Site is a parcel of land located just south of the three way
intersection of CR 905 and Card Sound Road. It contains the remnants of a Nike Radar
military facility which was fully operational between June 1965 and June 1979. The State
of Florida acquired the property in June of 1987. Since that time no restoration has
occurred besides treating for non-native plant species. All radar towers will remain in
place to mark the area's historical significance in North Key Largo.
The goal of this phase will be to remove all building structures, walkways.
parking lot, basketball court, etc. The access road will be minimized to a 10 foot width.
All associated fill will also be removed and the area graded down to match surrounding
natural elevations. All demolished materials will be removed from the site daily to
minimize the possibility of Key Largo woodrat and Key Largo cotton mice usage. Due to
the adjacent healthy hardwood hammock lying adjacent to the site, no vegetative
plantings will be necessary as recruitment will happen naturally. The Florida Park
Service recognizes the historic nature of this site and will be conducting a full Historical
Evaluation Survey in accordance with the Florida Department of State's Division of
Historical Resources. All wastewater treatment structures will be evaluated and removed
in accordance with Monroe County Health Department regulations. Asbestos is a known
component of at least one of the structures on this site so all requirements regarding this
substance will be followed when evaluating and removing.

Permitting Conditions
The following agencies may require permit authorization of the proposed restoration
project: US Fish and Wildlife Service, South Florida Water Management District, US
Army Corps of Engineers, DEP Regulatory, Monroe County, NOAA Florida Keys
National Marine Sanctuary, Monroe County Department of Health, and Department of
State — Historic Resources.
Contractor Considerations
The selected Contractor will be supplied with a detailed scope of work and copies of all
permits. Additionally, State Park personnel will conduct a pre -construction meeting with
the Contractor to review all permit conditions and to discuss site considerations. Park
personnel will provide project oversight throughout the entire project.
Site Access
Port Bougainville site: Access will be available via a dirt road located on the ocean side
of CR 905 at power pole 240. Vegetation along the access road will be trimmed by Park
staff to allow one -lane transit.
Old Road site: Access will be available via dirt/paved road on the ocean side of CR 905
at power pole 90. Vegetation along the access road will be trimmed by Park staff to allow
one -lane transit.
Nike Radar Site: Access will be available via dirt/paved road on the ocean side of CR 905
at power pole 90. Vegetation along the access road will be trimmed by Park staff to allow
one -lane transit.
Listed Species Considerations
Key Largo Woodrat
The Key Largo woodrat (Neotoma . loridana smalli) is a federally endangered
species that is found within North Key Largo hammocks. According to the USFWS
Multi -species Recovery Plan for South Florida, the remaining hardwood hammock
habitats are critical for the survival of the Key Largo woodrat. The Plan also states that
habitat restoration is a priority action necessary to protect and conserve the remaining
woodrat population.
In consideration of the potential for woodrat occurrence at the project sites, a
presence/absence trapping event will occur at all project areas in accordance with
USFWS trapping protocals (Appendix 1). Project guidelines may be modified for those
areas where woodrats are found.
Post construction Monitoring and Success Criteria
Once final elevations are achieved, the restoration area will be permanently
delineated with comer markers and the boundary will be identified using GPS. This site
will be monitored using photo points established prior to construction. Additionally, the
site will be periodically monitored by Park personnel for the presence of invasive exotic
vegetation.

Appendix 1
U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE
TRAPPING PROTOCOL TO DETERMINE PRESENCE OF
THE KEY LARGO WOODRAT (Neotomq ffondana small:) AND THE KEY LARGO
COTTON MOUSE Weromyscus gossypinus allapaticola)
5/9n005
This protocol is to be used when trapping to determine presence/absence of the Key Largo
woodrat (KLWR) and Key Largo cotton mouse (KLCM) in a given area.
1. Individuals conducting the trapping should have a permit and previous experience in
live trapping small mammals (or be trained by an experienced person). They must also
be able to identify any species that may be captured during the trapping event.
2. Surveys should include all potential KLWR/KLCM habitats within the area and. if
landowner permission can be obtained, adjacent lands with potential KLWR/KLCM
habitat.
3. Trapping should be conducted over the entire project area using a grid system of
Sherman live4raps spaced at 10-15 meter intervals.
4. Traps should be set for four consecutive nights per trapping season or until an
individual of each species is caught. Unexpected drops in temperature may cause a
disruption in consecutive trapping nights.
5. Trapping will not be conducted when nighttime temperatures are forecast to be <W F.
If temperatures are forecast to be in the mid to low 60's, cotton balls (4-5) will be placed
in the trap along with the bait.
6. Bait should consist of crimped oats and any combination of the following ingredients:
peanut butter, grapes, apples and/or sunflower seeds.
7. In areas where fire ants are present, 10% Carbaryl (Sevin) dust will be placed
immediately under the traps so that KLWRs/KLCM will not come in immediate contact
with it. Other approved methods will be considered.
8. Traps should be checked and all KLWRs/KLCM released no later than 3 hours after
official sunrise.
8. Upon capture of a KLWR or KLCM, authorized personnel identified by the Service
will be contacted immediately.
Hobgood.5.2005
9. All captured individuals shall be handled for as briefly as possible in a humane
manner during the time it takes to tag, examine, identify, and collect necessary biological
samples. OPTIONAL: All KLWRs captured in the wild will have blood samples taken
by authorized personnel for genetic analysis. PTr (passive -induced transponder) tags in
conjunction with ear tags will be used for individual woodrat identification and such
identification will be applied by authorized personnel. All KLWR&XWM shall be
released at their point of capture, if possible.
10. Any black rats (Ranns rartus) captured during woodrat trapping will be euthanized
humanely. If raccoons are disturbing traps (determined by missing bait or closed traps),
the Service will be contacted and an appropriate method for minimizing trap disturbance
will be implemented. If raccoon trapping is deemed necessary, the raccoons will be
trapped using appropriately sized traps (e.g. Tomahawk). Domestic cats are to be
released on the perimeter of the study area near residences and any feral cats captured in
the traps will be brought to the local animal shelter.
11. Presence of KLWRs/KLCM can be documented in a single trapping period. To
determine absence, traps shall be operated seasonally (fall, winter, spring, summer) for
two years.
12. Site description and trapping data should be recorded. Site description should include
GPS location and property Real Estate number, habitat on the project area and adjacent
lands, and trapping design relative to habitat distribution. Daily trapping data should
include number of KLWRs/KLCM trapped per day, non -target species, and lost or
mussing traps. Complete and verified data will be delivered via CD-ROM (preferred)
and/or by software compressed (zipped) file. All digital and hardeopy information that is
part of the project must be included in the final report (i.e. GIS data, reports, metadata,
photos, and other supporting materials). Sex, age, and reproductive status of Key Largo
cotton mice will also be reported. All trapping information should be submitted to the
following offices:

WADETIUM Old Roads - Port Bougainville - Nike Missile Base
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Florida and the Florida Keys are the home to some unique flora and fauna. Decades of development in
sensitive areas have destroyed or altered natural habitat. Abandoned buildings and aging infrastructure
has created accidental habitation for invasive species. In an effort to advance native species and
protect their habitat the Florida Department of Environmental Protection with the Florida Parks Service
has embarked on a Hammock Restoration program in the Florida Keys where they have acquired land
ownership.
North Key Largo Restoration Project is one such project. Three specific sites that have scared the
surface, destroyed habitat and changed the environment in sensitive Hardwood Hammock forest. The
Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park contains the three locations targeted for
restoration.
In preparation for this document the Environmental Opinion was studied and applicable precautions
and guidelines were implemented. This document is prepared as a design guideline as well as
providing specifications and bid documents. The format for this document was streamlined with the
Florida Parks Service to assure we meet the expectations and requirements of our obligations.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Location
North Key Largo Hammock Restoration Project consists of 3 devisable locations. These specifically
are "Old Roads", "Port Bougainville" and "Nike Radar Site". All located east of Card Sound Road.
All 3 sites in this project are located within North Key Largo which encompasses the area north of the
US 1 split to the west. The majority of North Key Largo is currently in public ownership, preserved as a
conservation land. The US Fish and Wildlife Service's Crocodile Lakes National Wildlife Refuge is
located west of CR 905 while the Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park is located
east of CR 905. The project sites are located within the Dagny Johnson Key Largo Botanical State
Park.
These areas dominated by hardwood hammock, salt marsh and mangrove wetland natural
communities, although the majority of the areas to be restored in the project are within hardwood
hammock. There are small sections of the transitional zone habitat located at both the Port Bougainville
site and Old Roads site.
1.2 General Project Description
The main purpose of this project is to restore the areas to historic natural elevations without disturbing
areas that have satisfactorily succeeded to expected natural communities. All building structures will be
removed and areas scraped down to a more natural grade to match the natural community structure.
Because the natural areas are adjacent to the project areas accomplishing nature grade will be easily
discernible. All roads, sidewalks, parking areas, and game courts will be broken up and removed as
noted on plans.
All "clean fill" from the demolition and excavation will be sent to either the entrance channel at Port
Bougainville or Carysfort Marina by the direction of the Parks Service. Both of these fill sites are under
restoration and permitted to receive clean fill material. See Special Conditions for clean fill specs. All
other materials not designated Clean Fill shall be removed from the site and disposed of at a permitted
waste facility.
1.3 Survey Mapping
Site survey was completed January 2012. Where topographic elevations are provided, bid items
generally will be volume quantities. Florida Minimum Technical Standards for Land Surveys, horizontal
being per rural (linear) standards, 1' in 5,000' and vertical being 0.1'.
1.4 Permitting
Florida Parks Service shall acquire all necessary permits. FDEP has issued the Biological Opinion
(BO) for this project. The BO is Exhibit B in the Reference section at the end of this document.
The following agencies have administrative and permitting authority over this project:
• South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)
• Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)

2.1 Introduction
Old Roads is an existing road system within the park. The qualifying roads are as showed in Figure 2-
1. They are weathered asphalt of various width and thickness. The base is built up lime rock of varying
thickness. The purpose of this restoration is to reduce the width to a standard 10' from the existing 12'
to 26' in order to allow nature to close in satisfying the requirements of the Environmental Opinion.
Figure 2-1. Old Roads System
2.2 Demolition Plan
Demolition Plans are provided to scale. Contractor shall use these plans for direction and
understanding the project scope in the most detailed aspect. Quantities are based on these plans.
2.3 Detailed Project Description
Old Roads is divided into 4 legs and labeled on the plans as North Leg, South Leg, East Leg and West
Leg. Pavement is to be saw -cut providing for a clean edge. Parks personnel may alter the alignment
based on field observations. Base material is varied in depth. Once pavement is removed, a 1 foot
shoulder of base material shall remain adjacent to the new edge to prevent undermining of the base
under the pavement. See typical cross sections on plan sheet C-3.19.

3.0 PORT BOUGAINVILLE
3.1 Introduction
Port Bougainville is a collection of scattered entities once a developing resort project that was never
completed but abandoned. It includes wood structures, concrete structures, asphalt surfaces, concrete
structures, fill areas and excavated areas. There is a road system that will be altered and portions
demolished. Figure 3-1 provides an aerial view of the site and points out the vast scope of this project.

I� WADETRiM Old Roads - Port Bougainville - Nike Missile Base
7. Old Roads/Parking Lot
8. Old House
The Tennis Courts are made up of a built up site and deteriorating asphalt surface. Removal of the fill
and asphalt is required.
The Bath house is an old concrete block structure that shall be removed in total.
Restaurant and Tunnel is a huge concrete structure. The old restaurant building sits on the tunnel
structure. The entire concrete structure and surrounding appurtenances shall be removed. Because this
structure is so complex and large it will be a Lump Sum pay item. Bidders shall be given the opportunity
to evaluate the structure before bidding on the project.
Shown is the tunnel structure, a large
concrete tunnel of which the base is at natural
grade and the top of the structure is elevated
with fill around both sides. There is nearly
collapsed restaurant building on top of the

Re.: Lead -Based Paint Survey Report
North Key Largo Restoration Project
Port Bougainville
Key Largo, Monroe County, Florida
PSI Project No. 0784763-1
Dear Ms. McCafferty:
tAtlnw1eK1' E
Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) is pleased to inform you of our findings for the above
referenced project. The purpose of the lead -based paint (LBP) survey was to evaluate the
presence of lead in painted surfaces or other surface coatings at the Port Bougainville Site. The
survey parameters were limited to the collection of a single paint -chip sample from each different
type of building component and subsurface associated with the site. Mr. Jeremy A. Cotrell of PSI
conducted paint -chip sampling on March 14, 2012. The site consists of three structures; a marina
building, a wood structure and a two story duplex building.
The collected paint -chip samples were submitted to PSI's Pittsburgh, PA laboratory for analysis
by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), using PSI Method WI-503, modified from EPA
Method SW846 7420. This analytical method provides a fully documented procedure for
determining low concentrations of lead in solvent reducible coatings.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Department of Housing & Urban
Development (HUD) and Title XXIX — Public Health, Chapter 381.983 of the Florida Statutes
have defined LBP as any paint or coating found to contain equal to or in excess of 0.5% by
weight if analyzing paint chip samples.
The following chart lists a description of each material sampled, sample location, and laboratory
analysis of the sample collected. The laboratory analytical report is included in Attachment A.
Only samples LBP-74 — LBP-79 are applicable to this report.

Lead concentrations measured as % lead by weight.
= Paint with a lead concentration greater than 0.5% by weight is considered to be lead -based paint by HUD.
The lead concentrations of five samples were below the applicable laboratory detection limits.
The lead concentration for sample LBP-78 was below the EPA/HUD level for lead -based paint
but above the laboratory reporting limit for the sample. Therefore, the paint represented by this
sample is considered to contain a measurable concentration of lead.
Please note, OSHA Lead in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.62) does not include a
definition for lead -based paint. Instead, OSHA is concerned with the airborne concentration of
lead workers are exposed to during work that causes the disturbance of lead containing
materials. Therefore, any employers whose workers perform tasks that disturb painted
components containing any concentration of lead should ensure that their workers are properly
trained and exposure monitoring is performed in accordance with the OSHA standard and avoid
activities (sanding, torch cutting, grinding, abrading) which could produce lead fume or respirable
dust.
Construction work is defined as work for construction, alteration and/or repair, including painting
and decorating. It includes but is not limited to the following:
• Demolition or salvage of structures where lead or materials containing lead in any
concentration are present;
• Removal or encapsulation of materials containing lead;
• New construction, alteration, repair, or renovations of structures. Substrates, or portions
thereof, that contain lead, or materials containing lead;
• Lead contamination/emergency cleanup.
The results reported herein are considered sufficient in detail and scope to determine the presence
of LBP in the buildings. PSI warrants that the findings contained herein have been prepared in
general accordance with accepted practices as applied by similar professionals in the community.
Changes in the state of the art or in applicable regulations cannot be anticipated and have not
been addressed in this report.

As directed by the client, PSI did not provide any service to investigate or detect the presence of
moisture, mold or other biological contaminates in or around any structure, or any service that
was designed or intended to prevent or lower the risk of the occurrence of the amplification of
the same. Client acknowledges that mold is ubiquitous to the environment with mold
amplification occurring when building materials are impacted by moisture. Client further
acknowledges that site conditions are outside of PSI's control, and that mold amplification will
likely occur, or continue to occur, in the presence of moisture. As such, PSI cannot and shall
not be held responsible for the occurrence or recurrence of mold amplification.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) conducted a Demolition Asbestos Survey of the North
Key Largo Restoration Project - Port Bougainville Site located in Key Largo, Monroe County,
Florida on March 14, 2012. The subject site consisted of a former marina building, a wood
structure, and a two-story duplex. The former marina structure is constructed of poured concrete
floor slab, stucco/concrete block walls, plaster hallway ceiling with a rough texture coat
occupying approximately 18,000 square feet. The wood structure is constructed of poured
concrete floor slab, asphalt walkway with a membrane roof system occupying approximately
12,000 square feet. The two-story duplex structure is constructed of a poured concrete floor
slab, drywall with join compound interior walls, popcorn ceiling with a membrane roof system
occupying approximately 2,500 square feet. The assessment was performed for the John
Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park — Port Bougainville Site. This survey was conducted at the
request of the client for future demolition of the structure.
The scope of the Asbestos Demolition Survey was to identify, quantify and assess the condition
of suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) in the building, as well as the collection and
analysis of bulk samples. The assessment included the sampling of interior and exterior suspect
ACM. Roofing was sampled as part of this assessment.
Based on the methodologies described in this report, PSI did not identify ACM at the subject
site.

2. INTRODUCTION
A Demolition Asbestos Survey of the North Key Largo Restoration Project - Port Bougainville
Site located in Key Largo, Florida has been conducted by PSI to identify Asbestos Containing
Materials within the building. This survey was conducted on March 14, 2012.
The survey was generally conducted in four phases as follows:
• Phase 1 — Record Document Review- Drawings, floor plans, historical data or other
documents provided to PSI or made available on site were evaluated for the general
construction history and layout of the facility. Other documents such as maintenance
records, operation and maintenance plans, laboratory results, etc., provided to PSI or made
available on site were also reviewed. This data was used to focus the walk through and
scope of work to be followed over the course of our visual inspection and sampling.
• Phase 2 — Visual Inspection- A visual inspection of the facility was conducted to identify,
quantify and assess the condition of suspect ACM. The inspection team access each area
and recorded suspect asbestos containing materials present. Each material was visually
estimated for total quantity within the space. The general condition and friability was also
recorded.
• Phase 3 — Sample Collection and Analysis- Samples were collected for each suspect
homogeneous area. Samples were submitted to PSI's accredited laboratory for analysis by
Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM).
• Phase 4 - Project Report - This report outlines the assessment findings based on the
interviews, testing results and field observations. The report also discusses other
observations concerning the workplace as they impacted the sampling events. This report
includes a discussion of sampling methodology, locations, analytical methods, results, and
conclusions.

3. ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES
The visual inspection and sampling activities were conducted on March 14, 2012, by Mr. John
Emerson and Mr. Jeremy Cottrell of PSI. Prior to the commencement of asbestos survey
activities, the client provided site contact information and assisted in providing access to the
facility.
3.1 RECORD DOCUMENT REVIEW
PSI did not review drawings, floor plans, historical data, maintenance records, previous survey
reports, laboratory reports or other documents for information regarding construction history and
building materials.
3.2 VISUAL INSPECTION
PSI's inspector accessed each room or area of the subject site to identify suspect homogenous
areas of ACM. Suspect ACM was categorized into homogeneous areas on the basis of color,
texture, appearance, use and apparent construction era (where available). Each homogeneous
area was given a unique material description. Quantities were visually estimated by the
inspector.
In addition to identification of each material and quantities, the inspector also determined
friability. A friable material is defined as any material able to be crushed, crumbled, pulverized
or reduced to a powder by hand press when dry. The inspector used a hand pressure test to
determine friability. Each material was further assessed for overall condition. Conditions were
rated as good, fair or poor. Materials in good condition included those materials which were in
the same condition as when installed showing only minor age deterioration. Materials in fair
condition included those materials which had apparent age deterioration and minor damage,
however the matrix of the material remained substantially intact. Materials in poor condition
included all materials with damage or significant damage and evidence that the material's matrix
has failed or has begun to fail.
3.3 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
PSI's asbestos inspector, under the supervision of a Principal Consultant developed a sampling
scheme for suspect ACM at the facility.
PSI did not sample any system which presented a hazard to the inspection team
such as energized electrical systems or within confined spaces,
PSI analyzed no more than 32 samples by Polarized Light Microscopy.

3.3 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS (CONT.)
Each sample location was sprayed with amended water and was kept wet during the entire
sampling process. Samples were collected by coring through the material from the surface
down to the base substrate. All layers of the material were extracted in placed into a sample
container for transport to the laboratory. Sample containers were sealed and labeled with a
unique sample ID. Following sample extraction, the sample location was sealed using a clear
liquid encapsulant or covered with tape. Restoration of finishes and materials to their pre -
sampling condition was not provided.
In accordance with the agreement between PSI and the client, roofing materials were sampled
by coring through the roof system to the base deck material. PSI applied a temporary patch to
the roof core location following sample extraction. Due to the destructive nature of roof
sampling however, PSI does not warrant a water tight condition following sample extraction, nor
can PSI guarantee the continuance of any roof system warrantees by other entities.
Samples were submitted to PSI's accredited laboratory in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia. PSI's
laboratory is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP),
accreditation No. 101350-0. Samples were analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) EPA
600/M4-82-020: "Interim Method of the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples."
Samples were dried, homogenized, and representative portions were examined with a
stereobinocular microscope. If no asbestos is found in a sample, "NAD" (No Asbestos
Detected) is reported. If asbestos is found in a sample, the percentage and type of asbestos is
reported. Point Counting verification of low concentration samples was not performed.

North Key Largo Restoration Project - Port Bougainville Site
PSI Project Number: 0784758
4. CONCLUSIONS
PSI has performed an Asbestos Demolition Survey of the subject site in general accordance
with PSI Proposal No. 0784-43672R, dated January 27, 2012. Based on the results of this
assessment, the following conclusions have been developed.
4.1 ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS
PSI did not identify asbestos containing materials during this survey.
The facility included in this Demolition Asbestos Survey was the North Key Largo Restoration
Project - Port Bougainville Site in Key Largo, Monroe County, Florida. The subject site consisted
of an old marina building, a wood structure, and a two-story duplex. The old marina structure is
constructed of poured concrete floor slab, stucco/concrete block walls, plaster hallway ceiling
with a rough texture coat walkway ceiling system occupying approximately 18,000 square feet.
The wood structure is constructed of poured concrete floor slab, asphalt walkway with a
membrane roof system occupying approximately 12,000 square feet. The two-story duplex
structure is constructed of poured concrete floor slab, drywall with join compound interior walls,
popcorn ceiling with a membrane roof system occupying approximately 2,500 square feet.
During the visual inspection, PSI tested 12 homogenous areas of suspect ACM and collected
32 samples representing these materials. A complete detail of all suspect materials, locations,
quantities and conditions may be found in the following table and in the appendices of this
report. Please note sample number 75-143 is associated with a separate survey and is not
representative of materials currently observed. The following data is a summary of materials
sampled as part of this survey.

Data Interpretation
A material is considered an asbestos containing material if at least one sample from the
homogenous area is confirmed to contain greater than one percent asbestos (>1.0%) under
laboratory analysis. In addition, OSHA's construction standard considers all thermal systems
insulation and surfacing materials in a facility constructed prior to 1981 to be presumed
asbestos containing (PACM) and all flooring to be assumed asbestos containing unless it is
demonstrated through laboratory analysis to contain 1.0% asbestos or less. The National
Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants further classifies ACM as regulated (RACM),
Category I non -friable ACM or Category II non -friable ACM.
PSI did not identify asbestos containing materials during this survey.
If additional suspect ACM is identified during the proposed demolition activities, work should be
halted and a Florida Licensed Asbestos Consultant retained to assess the materials.

5. WARRANTY
Asbestos Survey
The information contained in this report is based upon the data furnished by the Client and
observations and test results provided by PSI. These observations and results are time
dependent, are subject to changing site conditions, and revisions to Federal, State and local
regulations.
PSI warrants that these findings have been promulgated after being prepared in general
accordance with generally accepted practices in the asbestos and/or lead -based paint testing
and abatement industries. PSI also recognizes that raw laboratory test data are not usually
sufficient to make all abatement and management decisions.
As directed by the client, PSI did not provide any service to investigate or detect the presence of
moisture, mold or other biological contaminates in or around any structure, or any service that
was designed or intended to prevent or lower the risk of the occurrence of the amplification of
the same. Client acknowledges that mold is ubiquitous to the environment with mold
amplification occurring when building materials are impacted by moisture. Client further
acknowledges that site conditions are outside of PSI's control, and that mold amplification will
likely occur, or continue to occur, in the presence of moisture. As such, PSI cannot and shall
not be held responsible for the occurrence or recurrence of mold amplification.
No other warranties are implied or expressed.
Use by Third Parties
This report was prepared pursuant to the contract PSI has with the John Pennekamp Coral Reef
State Park. That contractual relationship included an exchange of information about the subject
site that was unique and between PSI and its client and serves as the basis upon which this
report was prepared. Because of the importance of the communication between PSI and its
client, reliance or any use of this report by anyone other than John Pennekamp Coral Reef
State Park, for whom it was prepared, is prohibited and therefore not foreseeable to PSI.
Reliance or use by any such third party without explicit authorization in the report does not make
said third party a third party beneficiary to PSI's contract with the client. Any such unauthorized
reliance on or use of this report, including any of its information or conclusions, will be at third
party's risk. For the same reasons, no warranties or representations, expressed or implied in
this report, are made to any such third party.
Unidentifiable Conditions
This report is necessarily limited to the conditions observed and to the information available at
the time of the work. Due to the nature of the work, there is a possibility that there may exist
conditions which could not be identified within the scope of work or which were not apparent at
the time of our site work. This report is also limited to information available from the client at the
tome it was eamdueted. :File evert rmay mot represamt a'! comiditic, is at the subjed site as it o, ily
reflects the information gathered from specific locations.

a Contractor Default. Such notice shall indicate whether the Owner is requesting a conference among
the Owner, Contractor and Surety to discuss the Contractor's performance. If the Owner does not
request a conference, the Surety may, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Owner's notice,
request such a conference. If the Surety timely requests a conference, the Owner shall attend. Unless
the Owner agrees otherwise, any conference requested under this Section 3.1 shall be held within ten
(10) business days of the Surety's receipt of the Owner's notice. If the Owner, the Contractor and the

a result of the Contractor Default; or
§ 5.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor and with reasonable
promptness under the circumstances:
1 After investigation, determine the amount for which it may be liable to the Owner and, as soon as

.2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner, citing the reasons for denial.
§ 6 If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Section 5 with reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to
be in default on this Bond seven days after receipt of an additional written notice from the Owner to the Surety
demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any
remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in Section 5.4, and the Owner refuses the payment
or the Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any
remedy available to the Owner.
