Project These acquisitions are located near the Interstate-10 corridor west of Jacksonville and adjacent to the Osceola Description National Forest. As one of the major export/import locations in the South, the Interstate 10 corridor is under constant pressure as industrial and residential developments expand from suburban Jacksonville, with major industrial growth expected over the next 12 to 36 months. Acquiring these tracts in advance of new development will prevent conversion to other uses.

  • Status of the Aquatic Plant Maintenance Program in Florida Public Waters
    Status of the Aquatic Plant Maintenance Program in Florida Public Waters Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2006 - 2007 Executive Summary This report was prepared in accordance with §369.22 (7), Florida Statutes, to provide an annual assessment of the control achieved and funding necessary to manage nonindigenous aquatic plants in intercounty waters. The authority of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) as addressed in §369.20 (5), Florida Statutes, extends to the management of nuisance populations of all aquatic plants, both indigenous and nonindigenous, and in all waters accessible to the general public. The aquatic plant management program in Florida’s public waters involves complex operational and financial interactions between state, federal and local governments as well as private sector compa- nies. A summary of plant acres controlled in sovereignty public waters and associated expenditures contracted or monitored by the DEP during Fiscal Year 2006-2007 is presented in the tables on page 42 of this report. Florida’s aquatic plant management program mission is to reduce negative impacts from invasive nonindigenous plants like water hyacinth, water lettuce and hydrilla to conserve the multiple uses and functions of public lakes and rivers. Invasive plants infest 95 percent of the 437 public waters inventoried in 2007 that comprise 1.25 million acres of fresh water where fishing alone is valued at more than $1.5 billion annually. Once established, eradicating invasive plants is difficult or impossible and very expensive; therefore, continuous maintenance is critical to sustaining navigation, flood control and recreation while conserving native plant habitat on sovereignty state lands at the lowest feasible cost.

  • Southeast Market Pipelines Project Final Environmental Impact Statement
    3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS This analysis describes the existing natural and human environment and the potential impacts on it resulting from construction and operation of the SMP Project. In the following discussion, we address geology, soils, groundwater, surface water, wetlands, vegetation, fisheries, wildlife, special status species, land use, cultural resources, air quality, and noise, as well as reliability and safety. This analysis also addresses cumulative impacts that may result when the SMP Project’s impacts are added to the impacts of present and reasonable foreseeable future projects. Generally, our analysis identifies and describes the existing conditions of the environmental resources potentially affected by the SMP Project and, as necessary, further describes resources unique to the SMP Project components. As described in greater detail below, our independent assessment of potential impacts on these resources, including the Applicants’ efforts to avoid, minimize, and mitigate these impacts, are then described. As appropriate, we recommend measures that, if implemented, would further avoid, minimize, and mitigate potential impacts on the environment. Our recommendations appear in this analysis as boldface, bulleted, and indented text. These recommendations are also presented in section 5.0. Our resource-specific analysis concludes with a determination of significance. We consider an impact to be significant when it results in a substantial adverse change to the environment. This analysis typically describes temporary, short-term, long-term, and permanent impacts. A temporary impact generally occurs during construction with the resource returning to preconstruction condition immediately after restoration or within a few months. A short-term impact could continue for up to 3 years following construction.
