Exhibit' D" INTRODUCTION The Oslo Riverfront Conservation Area (ORCA) consists of two parcels of land. The original "OSLO RIVERFRONT" PROPERTY is approximately 298 acres of undeveloped mature coastal hammock, scrubby flatwoods, and impounded estuarine wetlands located on the north side of Oslo Road adjacent to the Indian River Lagoon in Indian River County. The property has approximately 568 feet of frontage on Oslo Road (9th Street S.E.), and is located just east of the South Vero Square Shopping Plaza on the northeast corner of U.S. Highway #1 and Oslo Road. The property is north of and surrounds the Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory property. The property includes over two miles of Indian River Lagoon shoreline, and encompasses a lagoon cove known as "Crawford Notch". (See Figures 1 and 2.) The original parcel is owned by Indian River County and the St. Johns River Water Management District. The St. Johns River Water Management District is an agency of the State of Florida, one of five regional water management districts with the responsibility to preserve and manage Florida's water resources. Part of that responsibility is the acquisition and management of lands important to the preservation of wetlands and other water resources. On August 21, 1991, Indian River County (hereinafter referred to as the County) and the St. Johns River Water Management District (hereinafter referred to as the District) purchased the Oslo Riverfront property, with each party acquiring an undivided one-half interest. In sharing the cost of the public acquisition, it was agreed by both parties that the District and the County would coordinate on the approval of the property's management plan, but that Indian River County alone would be responsible for the management and maintenance of any recreational areas and facilities established on the property. Subsequently, the County entered into an Intergovernmental Management Agreement with the District for a thirty (3 0) year period, commencing on November 5, 1991 and terminating on November 4, 2021. The Oslo Riverfront property is now known as the Oslo Riverfront Conservation Area, hereinafter referred to as ORCA. The Management Agreement provides that "the function and condition of the Oslo Riverfront property with respect to water management, water supply and the conservation and protection of water resources will be maintained or enhanced and the property will be managed to control the growth of non-native invasive plant species". The Management Agreement also provides that "recreational activities planned or conducted within the wetlands and other naturally vegetated areas shall be resource-based and the development of recreational facilities within the wetlands restricted to trails, boardwalks, or other alterations which facilitates access for the passive/non- consumptive recreational user". In 1998, the Flinn Tract addition was acquired by the County and the District, with the additional participation of the Florida Inland Navigation District. The Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) is the "local sponsor" for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), a navigation project funded through state and federal programs. The FIND manages the ICW in the Indian River Lagoon immediately to the east of the managed property. As part of its responsibility for the ICW, the FIND also administers dredged material management sites. The FIND identifies and obtains applicable permitting for such sites.
