BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) <br />In 2013 Johnson Engineering, Inc. conducted surveys within the 83-acre cemetery <br />for the Florida burrowing owl. This work was combined with the development of a <br />Burrowing Owl Management Protection Plan that was submitted in support of the <br />application package to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for a <br />Migratory Bird Nest Removal permit. Johnson Engineering was able to obtain a <br />three-year blanket permit for their client, which allowed our ecologists to excavate <br />burrows, unoccupied by juveniles, on a “as needed” basis. The flexibility and <br />programmatic nature of this type of permit facilitates the uninterrupted operations <br />for the cemetery and prevents potential disruptions of the burial process that would <br />have occurred if the cemetery had to get a permit on a case by case basis. Our <br />work within the cemetery also included creation of artificial burrows using a custom <br />pipe and chamber device built by our ecologists, which is buried underground to facilitate and direct burrowing owl <br />occupancy within certain locations of the cemetery. These artificial burrows have been extremely successful and are <br />currently providing refuge for some of the owls previously occupying gravesites. As part of the protection plan, Johnson <br />created burrowing owl educational brochures, in both English and Spanish, that are provided to the staff and families <br />visiting the cemetery. This education program was combined with classes conducted by Johnson for education of cemetery <br />staff on how to recognize and deter owl activity in unwanted areas through non-impactful best management practices. <br />Three years later our team continues to provide on-going monitoring, excavation and other required permit reporting and <br />compliance activities for the cemetery. The manner in which this proactive program has been implemented by our <br />ecologists has resulted in developing an excellent rapport with the FWC regional biologist that oversees the Broward <br />County area. <br />Project Cost: $32,450 <br />Related Discipline: Environmental Analysis <br />25.
