AMENDMENT #3 TO EXHIBIT # 1 9/28/2009 Page 2 Task D — Listed Species Survey & Permitting Masteller & Moler , Inc . will provide for a Listed Species Survey for the construction area in accordance with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission ( FFWCC ) and US Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS ) requirements . The Listed Species Survey and Permitting services shall be provided using an environmental sub-consultant , ENTRIX , Inc . Aerial exhibits of the project area will be prepared including 53rd Street to 57th Street , the Lateral G Canal right-of-way from 57th Street to 77th Street , and along the north side of 77th Street . The Lateral G exhibits will illustrate the right-of-way and a 100 meter ( 325 feet) area on either side . Exhibits will indicate ingress/egress , limits of clearing & grubbing , staging/storage areas , etc . as necessary to depict the extent of construction activities to State and Federal Agencies . Upon completion of the Listed Species Surveys as described below , we will illustrate on the aerial the locations of tortoise burrows and scrub jay range as necessary . The resulting exhibit will be used to provide direction to the contractor with respect to construction activities . The aerial exhibits will be used by ENTRIX to generate a map depicting the land uses based on the Florida Land Use Cover and Forms Classification System ( FLUCFCS ) within the Lateral G right-of-way and public-owned lands within 100 meters of either side of the Lateral G right-of- way . This map will be used for potential habitat assessment , as well as for use in mapping any construction activities completed prior to the initiation of the survey . Listed species surveys for gopher tortoises and scrub jays will be conducted along the 0 . 5 mile 53rd Street to 57th Street route , and along the approximately 3- mile segment of Lateral G Canal from 57th Street to 77th Street , and an approximately 4004eet segment along the north side of 77th Street on the County ' s Hobart Park Site . 1 . Florida Gopher Tortoise Survey & Permit Application ENTRIX will complete a survey of the construction area per FFWCC standard tortoise survey guidelines to determine the estimated population of tortoises within the construction limits . This survey will map tortoise density per community type , and will provide the framework for any required tortoise permitting . The methodology and results of the survey will be summarized in a narrative with accompanying map(s) . This summary will outline permitting requirements , and will also provide estimated costs associated with each permitting alternative discussed Using the results of the completed survey , ENTRIX will complete and submit the appropriate gopher tortoise relocation permit application to the FFWCC . Based on the size and urban nature of the lands within the easement , this proposal has assumed that a " 10 or fewer" FFWCC permit will be the appropriate mechanism for addressing tortoises within developed portions of the property . Should the on-site population exceed the standards for the 10 or fewer" permit , an off-site relocation permit will be required . State fees as well as mitigation bank fees would be an additional cost should this alternative be required . Tortoise relocation and off-site relocation costs have not been included within this proposal . One ( 1 ) copy of the permit application and associated documentation will be submitted to the County for their review and file . There is a standard fee of $200 associated with the " 10 or fewer" permit application ; all permit application fees shall be the responsibility of the County .
