The survey is intended to ensure the protection of vegetative communities on the project site. 5. The xeric oak scrub and sand pine scrub communities that occur on the project site shall be preserved and appropriately managed to ensure the long-term viability of these communities. 6.

Establish an ongoing monitoring and control program for invasive vegetation including exotic (non-native), ornamental and nuisance native plant species shall be implemented at the project site. The objective of the control program shall be the elimination of invasive exotic plant species and the maintenance of a diverse association of native vegetation. The Exotic Pest Plant Council's List of Florida's Most Invasive Species to assist in identifying invasive exotics on the project site. 9. A vegetative analysis of the project site shall be performed to determine which areas of the site require mechanical clearing or a prescribed burning regime to maintain natural fire -dependent vegetative communities. Coordination with the Division of Forestry and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission on the development of a prescribed bum plan for the project site is required. 10. Prior to the commencement of any proposed development activities, measures will be taken to determine the presence of any archaeological sites. All planned activities involving known archaeological sites or potential site areas shall be closely coordinated with the Department of State, Division of Historic Resources in order to prevent the disturbance of significant sites. 11. The project site shall be managed as an addition to the adjacent, previously funded FCT Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area project. Contingent/Joint AcqUisition/99-014-P9A 11/30/1999 FINAL. 14
