    Stock Island tree snail (Orthalicus reses (not including nesodryas)) 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast Region South Florida Ecological Services Office Vero Beach, Florida 5-YEAR REVIEW Stock Island tree snail/Orthalicus reses (not including nesodryas) I. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Methodology used to complete the review: This review is based on monitoring reports, surveys, and other scientific and management information, augmented by conversations and comments from biologists familiar with the species. The review was conducted by the lead recovery biologist for this species with the South Florida Ecological Services Office. Literature and documents used for this review are on file at the South Florida Ecological Services Office. All recommendations resulting from this review are a result of thoroughly reviewing the best available information on the Stock Island tree snail (SITS). No part of the review was contracted to an outside party. Public notice of this review was given in the Federal Register on April 16, 2008, with a 60-day public comment period (73 FR 20702). Comments received and suggestions from peer reviewers were evaluated and incorporated as appropriate (see Appendix A). SITS was originally listed as Orthalicus reses. However, O. reses is comprised of two recognized taxa, O. reses reses (SITS) and O. reses nesodryas (Florida Keys tree snail) (Integrated Taxonomic Information System 2009). Accordingly, Orthalicus reses (not including nesodryas) equates to the recognized taxon, O. reses reses. B.

  • Fiberlight South Florida Network Expansion Proje

    Fiberlight South Florida Network Expansion Proje

    Broadband USA Applications Database Applicant Name: FiberLight Project Title: FiberLight South Florida Network Expansion Project Type: Middle Mile _______________________Executive Summary_______________________ FiberLight South Florida Executive Overview FiberLight is seeking an NTIA grant to expand and “light” its existing terrestrial-based, middle mile network located in the Florida Counties of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach (the South Florida Network). FiberLight will extend the existing backbone network 195 miles south and west from Miami-Dade County and pass through the community of Homestead; span the full 159-mile length of the Florida Keys; and terminate in Key West, FL. In addition, FiberLight will extend the existing backbone network 35 miles west from Palm Beach County and terminate in Belle Glade, FL. The combined network expansions would include initial interconnection points in the communities of Doral, Lauderdale Lakes, Boyton Beach, Margate, Big Coppitt, Big Pine, Cudjoe Key, Duck Key (Conch), Florida City, Homestead, Islamorada, Key Largo, Key West, Layton, Marathon (Crawl), Stock Island, Sugarloaf, Tavernier, and Belle Glade. Furthermore, the network expansions will directly pass through an additional 49 rural communities that could quickly and easily be accessed in the future. FiberLight would leverage its existing South Florida Network to deploy and operate the proposed network expansions. FiberLight’s South Florida Network expansion is being endorsed by the Monroe County Government (County) and FiberLight will
