SEPAC Minutes 01-13-2021 ;~ MINUTES SUSTAINABILITY & ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 2021, AT 6:00 P.M. CITY OF ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH, 2200 AlA South, St. Augustine Beach, FL 32080 I. CALL TO ORDER Chair l<rempasky called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Committee recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Ill. ROLL CALL Present: Chair Sandra Krempasky, Vice Chair Lana Bandy, and Members Craig Thomson and Jeanette Smith. Members Ann Palmquist, Lonnie Kaczmarsky, and C. Michel Cloward were absent. Also present: Deputy City Clerk Dariana Fitzgerald, Public Works Director Bill Tredik, and Grounds Foreman Tom Large. IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF DECEMBER 9, 2020, REGULAR M EETIN G Member Thomson asked to clarify on page 6 of the minutes where .it stated, "Member Thomson expressed concern with being able to control and retain stormwater runoff before it reaches the retention pond, that the right-of ways may not be wide enough in some areas" that his intent was to control run off at the source by using the right-of-ways. Motion: To approve the minutes of December 9, 2020, with correction of typographical error. Moved by: Member Thomson, Seconded by: Vice Chair Bandy. Motion passed unanimously. V. PRESENTATION OF REPORTS; l. Florida Department of Envirornnent<ll Protection's Model Ordin,rncc for Florida­ Friendly Fertilizer Use on Urban land:.capes Chair Krempasky stated that Lake County was required to introduce a fertilizer ordinance due to their proximity to the springs and Florida aquifer. She noted that the summer timeframe was emphasized for restricting fertilizing and that the City's code is actually stronger than what St. Johns County is doing. She asked Director Tredik if there was a place in the current Code to insert about a time of year to fertilize. He noted that he would have to look up the appropriate dates, but noted that regulation without the ability to enforcement would be problematic. Chair l<rempasky noted that St. Johns and Lake counties enforced it with their Code Enforcement Boards. Director Tredik stated that his focus would be on education on 1 how to fertilize properly, if it continued to be a problem then write codes. He noted that handouts on fertilizing could be distributed with the trees for Arbor Day. Member Thomson noted that watering was also a concern, that people should also be educated on when the best times to water are. Vice Chair Bandy and Chair Krempasky noted that there are residents from other parts of the country that may not know how to take care of a lawn in Florida. Foreman Large stated that they could check with St. Johns County and St. Augustine to gather information to distribute. Director Tredik stated that there is a section in the City's Code adopting the Water Management District's schedule, but that it is probably not enforced often since its difficult to monitor the entire City with one Code Enforcement Officer. Member Thomson suggested an article in the City's monthly newsletter on the watering schedules. Director Tredik suggested that that could also he information provided on Arbor Day. Vice Chair Bandy suggested information on what can and cannot be recycled. Deputy City Clerk Fitzgerald stated that the City has tried to get educational information from Advanced Disposal. Director Tredik stated that our current contract expires in April 2022, so there will be discussion this year on what to do, whether to modify what is recycled, do recycling collection in-house, or do away with recycling collection altogether. He noted that the last option would not be popular, but he will be doing research on how beneficial recycling actually is at this time, since there isn't much of a market for recycled products right now. He reported that paper has been stockpiled because no one is buying it, glass has no value because it's cheaper to make new glass from sand, but there is still a limited market in plastic and metal, so there needs to be a review on how much recycled material is actually ending up in a landfill. Deputy City Clerk Fitzgerald noted that for the City, cost is a major concern and whether the expense to the taxpayers is actually providing a benefit. Director Tredik stated that the current annual recycling bill is over $180,000 and any new contracts would likely be over $200,000. Deputy City Clerk Fitzgerald added that that cost was just for residential collection within the City, that condos and businesses had to contract for private service. 2. Update on Vulnerability Study from Public Works Director Tredik handed out copies of the St. Augustine Beach Vulnerability Assessment: Task 1, Existing Information/Field Evaluation Mapping and Field Data (Exhibit A). He stated that this Task was mainly data gathering. He stated that elevation data was used to show low lying areas, which are the areas at greater risk. He pointed out the most vulnerable areas according to this study {Exhibit A-12 to A-20). Member Thomson asked which of those areas are connecteq to the Mizell Pond system. Director Tredik stated that blocks 2 and 3 connected to Mizell Pond, at least in part, but the other areas are where storm surge could cause backflow or overwash into the City. He stated that Task 2 will be modeling, maps, and a public presentation before the end of February. He is concerned about poor attendance since he needs to show public feedback to the State. This will likely be a Zoom meeting, but it hasn1 t been set up yet. Task 3 will be developing the action plan and planning projects that will implement some improvements and hopefully put the first one in the Capital Improvement Plan. 2 MemberThomson noted that this appears to be based on a Category 1 storm. Director Tredik stated that there are additional predictions based on stronger storms, but only Category 1 was included this document. Member Thomson asked what the design parameters for proposed improvements would be; what storm strength would be the resistance factor or resiliency factor be based on; and if there is a state mandate regarding capital improvement project funding. Director Tredik responded that there isn't a state mandate, but what was done for the weir was a detailed cost-benefit analysis showing that the cost of the improvements justified the construction and that involved assessing the values of properties and showing what the potential damages were and that those damages outweighed the cost of construction. Member Thomson asked if the study was able to determine a percentage of impervious surface coverage in the vulnerable areas. Director Tredik responded that that has not occurred yet, and may not occur in this study, but will need to be done at some point, especially if the City does a stormwater utility fee at some point. He stated that run off is estimated based on an industry standard curve number based on soil types, land classifications, etc. Member Thomson asked what Director Tredik expects this study to provide for the City. Director Tredik responded that he sees this study helping the City to develop project to help it survive as long as possible on a barrier island. He stated that if sea level rise continues unabated, then a retreat from the island will be inevitable at some point in the future, maybe even in our children or grandchildren's lifetime. His goal is to adapt as best we can for as long as we can. Member Thomson asked ifthere was enough retention capacity in the City to manage major rainstorms and storm surge combinations. Director Tredik responded that the modeling shows that the system will work if everything goes right and is done properly, but that there will always be unexpected conditions. For example, the 5 inches of rain within two hours received over the past summer. The problem was the pipes couldn't handle that much inflow at the same time, so conveyance capacity was the issue, not retention. That one problem could be mitigated with enough investment, but that was about a 50 year return frequency for that intense level of rainfall within that short of a time. If that becomes the new normal, then there will need to be major infrastructure improvements to hold it back and keep going. These problems aren't unsolvable, just expensive. 3. Anastasia Island Environmental Stewardship Awards for 2021 Chair l(rempasky asked for feedback on Vice Chair Bandy's press release on the winners of the 2020 AIESA (Exhibit B-1). She suggested maybe listing other nominees to acknowledge them. Member Thomson suggested sending a letter of appreciation to the other nominees and Chair Krempasky volunteered to write it. Vice Chair Bandy asked ifChair Krempasky could provide a quote to include in the press release. Chair Krempasky noted on the announcement for the 2021 awards (Exhibit B-2) that she mainly just changed the dates and modified the award categories based on feedback from the last meeting. Vice Chair Bandy commented that the categories were a little unclear. Deputy City Clerk Fitzgerald suggested adding parenthesis instead of dashes, like Individual ( Non-Profit/Educationa I). 3 Member Thomson suggested encouraging initiatives for reducing climate change. The Committee discussed the wording and decided to change "reducing environmental impacts" to "reducing environmental impacts from climate change". The Committee also decided to extend the nomination deadline to April 2, 2021. Director Tredik left the meeting at 7:00 p.m. 4. Reforestation and Landscaping Projects a. Lakeside Park/11th Street Pond Foreman Large reported that the cypress trees that were removed from this area are being stored at Public Works and are currently planned to be planted by the weir to help support that area.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

DNA barcodes available for Canadian specimens are represented by 3275 BINs. The analysis was based on the most recent checklist of Hemiptera in Canada (Maw et al. 2000) and subsequent collection records, literature records and compilation of DNA barcode data. It is estimated that almost 600 additional species remain to be dis- covered among Canadian Hemiptera. Keywords Barcode Index Number (BIN), biodiversity assessment, Biota of Canada, DNA barcodes, Hemiptera, true bugs The order Hemiptera, the true bugs, is a relatively large order.
