Acknowledgements We would like to thank the original Florida Springs Task Force who worked so diligently to produce the first Springs Report in November 2000. Without their vision and efforts, this document and overall springs protection would not be where it is today. Additionally, the current Florida Springs Task Force and its technical advisors deserve significant praise for their dedication to springs protection and to the creation of this updated report. They and their organizations dedicated time, resources, and expertise in monthly meetings over the past six months. In addition, many members and advisors participated in numerous lengthy conference calls and multiple reviews of draft documents. We appreciate everyone’s patience and willingness to work together in a professional congenial manner and use innovative approaches to produce this document. Over 30 Task Force members and advisors provided input and expertise to the strategies for springs protection and restoration in this report. In addition, several members and advisors deserve special mention for their significant contributions to other portions of this report. Specifically, for the update and writing of the background section, thanks to Mike Bascom, Dana Bryan, Bruce Day, Dave DeWitt, Jon Martin, Harley Means, Tom Pratt, Kent Smith, Jim Stevenson, Sam Upchurch, and Tom Mirti. For providing a substantial amount of technical information, thanks to Gary Maddox, Harley Means, Laura Morse, and Tom Scott. Finally, we are thankful to Mike Bascom and his staff from the Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida Springs Initiative for their support and responsiveness.

In 1997, the population of North Port was 16,708, by 2008, the City’s population had more than tripled to 56,316 (Bureau of Economic and Business Research estimate). The City’s explosive growth within that period of time is attributable to the large numbers of young families who moved to the City because of its affordable housing and good schools. As a consequence of this continuing trend, the average age of a typical resident has fallen from the 50s to the mid- to late 30s. Under the terms of the City’s 1993 Interlocal Agreement with Sarasota County Government, the City’s recreational programs, activities and facilities had been consolidated and placed under the direction of the County.

    CULTURAL RESOURCE ASSESSMENT SURVEY FOR THE SEIR FOR WIDENING U.S. 301 FROM FALKENBURG ROAD TO CAUSEWAY BOULEVARD Hillsborough County, Florida Prepared for Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. 10117 Princess Palm Ave Suite 300 Tampa, Florida 33610 Prepared by Janus Research 1300 N. Westshore Boulevard, Suite 100 Tampa, Florida 33607 FINAL REPORT CRAS for the SEIR for Widening U.S. 301 from Falkenburg Road to Causeway Boulevard Hillsborough County November 2006 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Cultural Resource Assessment Survey (CRAS) for the State Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for Widening U.S. 301 from Falkenburg Road to Causeway Boulevard in Hillsborough County, Florida was undertaken at the request of Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The objective of this survey, which was conducted in November, 2006, was to identify cultural resources within or adjacent to the project area and assess their eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) according to the criteria set forth in 36 CFR Section 60.4. This assessment was designed and implemented to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 (as amended) as implemented by 36 CFR 800 (Protection of Historic Properties, effective January 2001); Section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 USC 4321 et seq.), as implemented by the regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508); Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 USC 303); Chapter 267, Florida Statutes; and the minimum field methods, data analysis, and reporting standards embodied in the Florida Division of Historical Resources’ (FDHR) Cultural Resource Management Standards and Operational Manual (February 2003), and Chapter 1A-46 (Archaeological and Historical Report Standards and Guidelines), Florida Administrative Code.

  • Page/Ladson (8Je591) : Excavation of an Early Holocene Occupation Site
    PAGE/LADSON (8JE591): EXCAVATION OF AN EARLY HOLOCENE OCCUPATION SITE IN THE AUCILLA RIVER, FLORIDA By BRINNEN S. CARTER A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2003 ' r Copyright 2003 by Brinnen S. Carter This document is dedicated to my dead father, Brinly Stewart Carter. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people who deserve the largest measure of thanks for their patience and support. On the intellectual side, S. David Webb and James (Jim) Dunbar are first and foremost. The Florida Department of State Special Category grants, National Geographic grants, and numerous private donations of money, time, and equipment, to the Aucilla River Prehistory Project, lead by Drs. Webb and Milanich paid for the fieldwork. Grants and salary from the Aucilla River Prehistory Project and discussions with Jim Dunbar have been important in directing the work that follows. Discussions with David Anderson (modeling Paleoindian/Early Archaic American Indian bands and macrobands), Albert Goodyear (tool technology and chronology), Jerald Milanich (hypothesis generation and testing), Louis Tesar (overall Florida Paleoindian site distribution and nature) have also contributed to the quality of work. One could hardly ask for a better archaeology faculty than the University of Florida's for understanding the breadth of New World Archaeology. The archaeology faculty of Florida State University—and especially Rochelle Marrinan—helped me keep my dignity while completing the dissertation. Teaching at FSU added notches to my resume and gave me a better understanding of the pressures under which university-based researchers work.
