ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS REPORT Bartow Municipal Airport - Airfield Drainage Improvements
Prepared for May 2017
Introduction
ESA has completed an Environmental Constraints Analysis (Analysis) for Hanson Professional Services Inc. (Client) for the proposed Airfield Drainage Improvements Project (Project) at the Bartow Municipal Airport (Airport) in Polk County, Florida. More specifically, the Project is located in Section 23, Township 29 South, and Range 25 East (Exhibit 1 ). The Project consists of stormwater infrastructure improvements that will include grading of four (4) areas within the active airfield to alleviate stormwater storage and flow. The Analysis focused on field delineations of other surface water (OSW) features and the potential occurrence of listed wildlife species that have been designated Threatened and Endangered (T&E), Species of Special Concern (SSC), or Candidate (C) species by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and/or the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) within the Project limits.
Results of the Analysis is documented within this Environmental Constraints Report (Report), which provides a description of potential impacts to the existing OSW features and listed wildlife that has the potential to occur within or adjacent to the proposed Project. The surface water features were delineated pursuant to Chapter 62-340 Florida Administrative Code (FAC) and the 1987 Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) Wetland Delineation Manual (Regional Supplement – November 2010) . A description of the potentially occurring listed wildlife within and adjacent to the Project includes: species type, appropriate survey protocol - including survey window, permitting agency, and mitigation/relocation options that may be available.
Preceding the on-site Analysis, published data resources were reviewed, including:
• High-resolution aerial photographs of the Project site and vicinity (Exhibit 2 ) • National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey Map (Exhibit 3) • Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) database of listed species ( Exhibit 4) • FFWCC Bald Eagle Nest Locator Database • USFWS Florida Wood Stork Colonies Core Foraging Area Database
The Analysis was completed on April 26, 2017 by ESA biologists with experience in listed species, habitat assessments, wetland delineations, and aerial photography

interpretations. During the Analysis, digital photographs were taken to document existing habitat features and to record the general condition of the proposed Project area (Exhibit 5). In addition to the above reference data, base maps, field notes, and published data resources were subsequently used in order to complete this Report.
Ecological Conditions Affected Environment – Existing Site Conditions
The Project area consists of an active, maintained airfield (including Runways, Taxiways, stormwater components and open turf fields) of the Airport. As stated prior, the proposed Project consists of stormwater infrastructure improvements that include grading activities in 4 locations within the Project footprint (Exhibit 2) . Each of the proposed grading areas consists of upland cut OSW stormwater features. Two (2) of the proposed grading areas are located east of Taxiway A3 and east of Taxiway G, while the other 2 grading areas are centrally located between 2 active Runways (RW 9L – 27R and RW 9R – 27L) and 2 active Taxiways (TW G and TW A3) The upland areas within the proposed Project footprint consist predominantly of maintained bahia-grass (Paspalum notatum ). Below are the descriptions of the OSW features that are anticipated to be affected by the proposed Project.
Other Surface Waters
During the field Analysis, OSW features were delineated within the each of the 4 proposed grading areas (Exhibit 6) . OSW 1, OSW 3 and OSW 4 consist of upland-cut ditch systems and OSW 2 is best described as a stormwater detention area. OSW 2 is hydrologically connected to OSW 1 to the east by culverts under Taxiway A3. OSW 1 flows in a southeast direction into a large wetland feature outside of the Airport perimeter fence. OSW 3 is hydrologically connected to OSW 4 to the southeast by culverts under Runway 9R - 27L. OSW 4 flows in a southeast direction into culverts under an abandoned taxiway where it continues offsite into a large wetland feature in that direction.
The vegetation within the OSW features consisted predominantly of hydrophytic vegetation that is routinely maintained per Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) requirements

in order to reduce wildlife attractants airports. Observed vegetation consisted of Peruvian primrose willow ( Ludwigia peruviana ), rush ( Juncus spp. ), cattails ( Typha sp. ), smartweed ( Polygonum hydropiperoides ), buttonweed ( Diodia virginiana ), yellow-eyed grass ( Xyris caroliniana ), torpedo-grass ( Panicum repens ), chain fern ( Woodwardia virginica ) and pennywort ( Hydrocotyle umbellata ).
Listed Species
A preliminary listed species survey was completed within and directly adjacent to the Project area, in order to determine the presence or absence of state and/or federally- listed wildlife species. This proceeded by first conducting a literature review to determine the potential occurrence of listed species within the area, reviewing the habitat types existing within the assessment area, obtaining information from the FNAI and finally conducting on-site surveys to assess the existing land use conditions and potential observations of listed species. Included as Exhibit 4 , is the FNAI list which documents the species that have the potential to occur in Polk County. Due to the routine wildlife abatement maintenance activities at the Airport, no listed plant species were identified as having a potential for existence in the reviewed areas. Listed below are the wildlife species that were identified prior to the field survey.
Bald Eagle ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Bald eagles were delisted under the Endangered Species Act; however they are still protected at the federal level under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and at the state level under Chapter 68A- 16.002 Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). Prior to the site review, a bald eagle nest search was conducted utilizing the FFWCC Eagle Nest Locator. No bald eagle nests were reported on or in the vicinity of the Airport. In addition, during field reconnaissance, no bald eagle nests or individuals were observed within or directly adjacent to the Project area. As such, no adverse impacts to the bald eagle are anticipated as a result of the proposed Project.
Gopher Tortoise ( Gopherus polyphemus)
The gopher tortoise is listed at the state level as Threatened and listed as a Candidate species for federal listing. During field review, gopher tortoise burrows were confirmed
Bartow Municipal Airport May 9, 2017 Airfield Drainage Improvements 3 Project # D160661.01 Environmental Constraints Report ESA - Southeastern Biological Resources
within two of the proposed grading areas (Exhibit 7) . Gopher tortoise permitting activities to excavate and relocate the tortoise population are typically initiated 90-days prior to any construction activity, due to gopher tortoise burrow survey protocols. FFWCC regulates the permitting and survey process, where burrow surveys are only good for 90 days. A formal 100% gopher tortoise burry survey is required as part of the permitting process, in order to determine the approximate number of gopher tortoises that will need to be relocated and the exact number of burrows that will be required to be excavated. Gopher tortoise burrows are protected by a 25 foot “no soil disturbance” buffer. Burrows that are located within close proximity of the grading activities will require a 25-foot avoidance buffer around the burrow to insure they will not be impacted by the Project. It is important to note that Project construction activities also include all laydown areas, silt screen fencing installation and mobilization/demobilization areas.
Eastern indigo snake ( Drymarchon couperi )
The eastern indigo snake is federally listed as Threatened. Indigo snakes occur in wide variety of upland habitats throughout Florida and will often utilize debris piles, stump holes, and other animal burrows for shelter. Since the snake utilizes gopher tortoise burrows for refuge, permitting guidelines though the USFWS is based upon the number of gopher tortoise burrows present. In accordance with the USFWS Eastern Indigo Snake Programmatic Effect Determination Key, if more than 25 active and inactive burrows are present on site and proposed to be impacted, additional consultation with the USFWS may be required. If less than 25 active and inactive gopher tortoise burrows are present then implementation of the USFWS Standard Protection Measures for the Eastern indigo snake must occur prior to any construction or habitat alterations.
Florida Burrowing Owl ( Athene cunicularia floridana )
The Florida burrowing owl is state listed as Threatened. They are a ground-dwelling owl that makes extensive use of ruderal areas such as airports. Within the 2 proposed grading areas between the active runways there is potential habitat, however, during the field review no burrows or individuals were observed within or adjacent to the proposed work areas. As such, it is anticipated that the Florida burrowing owl will not be adversely affected by the proposed Project.

Sand Skink ( Plestiodon reynoldsi )
The sand skink is listed as Threatened at the state and federal level. They are endemic to xeric habitats found along the Central Florida sand ridges. The sand skink is found exclusively in seven Central Florida counties including Polk County, which makes up the Sand and Blue tailed Mole Skink Consultation Area. Appropriate sand skink habitat requires three elements: 1) located within the Consultation Area, 2) site elevation is at or above 82-feet mean-sea-level (MSL) elevation and 3) must contain one of 20 specific natural soil types. Included as Exhibit 3 is the NRCS Soils Map that identifies the historic soil types within the Project limits. The Project area historically contained one of the suitable types (Pomello); however due to the construction of the existing Airport features (Taxiways, Runways, drainage features, side grading and the placement of engineered soils) historic soils have been heavily altered to support aviation needs and no longer are conducive for the sand skink utilization. As such, it is anticipated that sand skinks will not be adversely affected by the proposed Project.
Wood Stork ( Mycteria americana )
The wood stork is listed as Threatened at both the state and federal level. Though the Project limits do contain areas that may be conducive for wood stork foraging, FAA vegetation maintenance guidelines/requirements to minimize attractants to hazardous wildlife have been implemented at the Airport. As a result of the stormwater improvement Project, all OSW features will be replaced in-kind and in accordance with FAA requirements to reduce wildlife attractants. As such, in accordance with the ACOE and USFWS South Florida Programmatic Concurrence Effect Determination Key for Wood Storks (dated May 2010); a Not Likely to Adversely Affect (NLAA) determination would be assessed for this species within the Project area.
Additional Listed Species
With the presence of OSW features within the Project limits, there is the potential for state and federally listed wading birds foraging onsite. These species include the tricolored heron ( Egretta tricolor ), roseate spoonbill ( Platalea ajaja ) and little blue heron (Egretta caerulea ). Because these species are transient, there is no permitting protocol for individuals. If one of these species is observed foraging onsite, avoid the individuals and allow them to depart without harassment. Let it be noted that because of the FAA
Bartow Municipal Airport May 9, 2017 Airfield Drainage Improvements 5 Project # D160661.01 Environmental Constraints Report ESA - Southeastern Biological Resources
safety protocols in regards to wildlife hazards, authorized Airport personnel are allowed to initiate approved harassment procedures to remove these species from the airfield.
Summary
On April 26, 2017, ESA biologist performed an Environmental Constraints Analysis for Hanson Professional Services Inc. for an Airfield Drainage Improvements Project at the Bartow Municipal Airport in Polk County, Florida. The Analysis focused on wetland delineations of all features and to determine the presence or absence of both state and federally listed wildlife species that have the potential to occur within or directly adjacent to the Project area. OSW features were delineated within each of the 4 proposed grading areas associated with the Project. The OSW features consisted of three (3) linear upland-cut ditches and one (1) stormwater detention area.
Though the site was not conducive for the presence of many of the listed species within the provided FNAI listing in Exhibit 4 ; there is confirmed habitat for the gopher tortoise and the Eastern indigo snake. Prior to any construction activities or altering of their potential habitat on-site, a formal survey should be conducted and the appropriate permits secured through either the FFWCC and/or USFWS.
