Bonita Bay Presentation Center Mitigation Plan Permit No BONITA BAY PRESENTATION CENTER MITIGATION PLAN PERMIT NO. 36-00289-S, APPLICATION NO. 180907-3 JANUARY 18, 2019 PREPARED BY: TURRELL, HALL & ASSOCIATES, INC. MARIELLE KITCHENER 3584 EXCHANGE AVENUE NAPLES, FL 34104 (239) 643-0166- OFFICE, (239) 253-1860- CELL [email protected] Bonita Presentation Center- App. 180907-3 Mitigation Plan (1/18/19) 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Bonita Bay Presentation Center Project is a 1.408-acre parcel, which was previously developed in 1995 as a sales center in Bonita Bay with associated parking (Application 950726-1). Under the previous permit not all of the 1.41 upland acres was cleared and filled. Some areas remained untouched as native habitat. Several years ago, the sales center was removed, and the pavement scraped up and disposed of to make room for new development. The new applicant is requesting to construct two (2) structures on this parcel with associated stormwater management for pre-treatment. The new development would for the most part lie within the old clearing footprint. A very minor amount of new additional clearing is needed to accommodate the water management system and building bulkhead installation, but all new clearing and filling lies landward of the 1993 DER Binding Jurisdictional Line. The site is located on a peninsular island in the far west side of Bonita Bay with other development and golf courses. It is specifically situated in Section 29, Township 47 South, Range 25 East, Lee County, Florida (site address 4701 Bonita Bay Blvd., Bonita Springs, FL 34134). 2 Bonita Presentation Center- App.

  • Beta-Sitosterol [BSS] and Betasitosterol Glucoside [BSSG] As an Adjuvant in the Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients.” TB Weekly (4 Mar 1996)
    Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) and One of Its Constituent Sterols -Sitosterol [83-46-5] Review of Toxicological Literature Prepared for Errol Zeiger, Ph.D. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences P.O. Box 12233 Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709 Contract No. N01-ES-65402 Submitted by Raymond Tice, Ph.D. Integrated Laboratory Systems P.O. Box 13501 Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709 November 1997 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The nomination of saw palmetto and -sitosterol for testing is based on the potential for human exposure and the limited amount of toxicity and carcinogenicity data. Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), a member of the palm family Arecaceae, is native to the West Indies and the Atlantic Coast of North America, from South Carolina to Florida. The plant may grow to a height of 20 feet (6.10 m), with leaves up to 3 feet (0.914 m) across. The berries are fleshy, about 0.75 inch (1.9 cm) in diameter, and blue-black in color. Saw palmetto berries contain sterols and lipids, including relatively high concentrations of free and bound sitosterols. The following chemicals have been identified in the berries: anthranilic acid, capric acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, - carotene, ferulic acid, mannitol, -sitosterol, -sitosterol-D-glucoside, linoleic acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, 1-monolaurin and 1-monomyristin. A number of other common plants (e.g., basil, corn, soybean) also contain -sitosterol. Saw palmetto extract has become the sixth best-selling herbal dietary supplement in the United States. In Europe, several pharmaceutical companies sell saw palmetto-based over-the-counter (OTC) drugs for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

  • Induced Prostatic Hyperplasia in Sprague?Dawley Rats
    JPP.book Page 995 Monday, May 28, 2007 12:41 PM JPP 2007, 59: 995–999 © 2007 The Authors Received December 18, 2006 Accepted March 30, 2007 DOI 10.1211/jpp.59.7.0012 Effects of coconut oil on testosterone-induced prostatic ISSN 0022-3573 hyperplasia in Sprague–Dawley rats María de Lourdes Arruzazabala, Vivian Molina, Rosa Más, Daisy Carbajal, David Marrero, Víctor González, Eduardo Rodríguez Abstract Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the benign uncontrolled growth of the prostate gland, leading to difficulty with urination. Saw palmetto lipid extracts (SPLE), used to treat BPH, have been shown to inhibit prostate 5a-reductase, and some major components, such as lauric, myristic and oleic acids also inhibit this enzyme. Coconut oil (CO) is also rich in fatty acids, mainly lauric and myristic acids. We inves- tigated whether CO prevents testosterone-induced prostate hyperplasia (PH) in Sprague-Dawley rats. Animals were distributed into seven groups (10 rats each). A negative control group were injected with soya oil; six groups were injected with testosterone (3 mg kg−1) to induce PH: a positive control group, and five groups treated orally with SPLE (400 mg kg−1), CO or sunflower oil (SO) (400 and 800 mg kg−1). Treatments were given for 14 days. Rats were weighed before treatment and weekly thereafter. Rats were then killed and the prostates were removed and weighed. CO (400 and 800 mg kg−1), SPLE (400 mg kg−1) and SO at 800 mg kg−1, but not at 400 mg kg−1, significantly reduced the increase in pros- tate weight (PW) and PW:body weight (BW) ratio induced by testosterone (% inhibition 61.5%, 82.0%, 43.8% and 28.2%, respectively).
