® MIAMI -DADE COUNTY PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT — TREE ISLAND PARK PROJECT El lJ (COE). the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the Miami -Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DEILM). Tree Island delineations were based on DERM -EEL criteria that were to be submitted to each regulatory agency for consent prior to field work The Team's biologist utilized colored Flagging to delineate the jurisdictional wetland boundary. The wetland delineations were marked on an available County aerial or topographic survey. Other field information including the completion of COE Wetland Determination Data Sheets and a Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) was also perforated for the wet prairie wetlands and Tree Islands. Additionally Team biologist located three seasonal high water (SHW) elevations within the tree islands and wet prairie areas for hydrologic restoration purposes. A preliminary wildlife survey was conducted during the wetland delineation to determine presence of any listed plant or animal species. The Team biologist met on -site one time with the SFWMD and COE to veriA, the delineated wetland and Tree Island boundaries. MSA coordinated as necessary with PARD's survey personnel following field verification by COE and SFWMD regarding locations of flagged wetland areas and Tree Island boundaries. SHW and review ® the resulting delineation survey for accuracy prior to agency submittal. MSA developed a mitigation plan based on the final site design and anticipated t impacts to wetlands and Tree Islands for on -site mitigation and /or purchase of credits from an approved offsite mitigation bank. The MSA project Team prepared the Joint Environmental Resource permit application and the DERM Class -IV permit application. The applications included appropriate exhibits and calculations. Preparation of Design Development Plans - Upon receipt of the final site plan and the topographic and cadastral survey, MSA prepared final water management calculations, paving, grading and drainage plans and drainage calculations. These plans were included in the Environmental permit applications described above. The plans included the location of drainage catch basins, exftltration trenches, the site grading scheme, typical section along proposed internal roadways, parking areas and wet/dry retention areas as well as at the perimeter of the property. Environmental Quality Control Board Variance (Optional) - Due to the potential impacts to Tree Island No. 2, the Environmental Quality Control Board (EQCB) may have to be petitioned for a variance from the requirements of Chapter 24 of the Miami -Dade County Administrative Code. MSA will coordinate with the Environmentally Endangered Lands Program (EEL), PARD and DERM to prepare an EQCB Application. MSA will assist and represent PARD at the EQCB Public bearing.
