Hybrid gangs have been identified as having organizational processes that differ from traditional gangs; thus, this work will examine these processes that consist of a range of non-traditional phenomena, including cooperation between gangs, members switching gang affiliations, gang initiations, and members leaving gangs.

Other visits followed and he soon realized that great possibilities lay in the State. He saw Florida as a virtual wilderness and determined to do something about it. Flagler made no vain boasts about what he would do, but soon he began to channel money into the State, and before his death in 1913 he had spent nearly $50,000,000 building hotels and rail- roads along the Florida East Coast.' His money had been made when he began to invest in Florida at the age of fifty-five, and though his enter- prises there were based partially on a business basis, the greatest motive behind his new venture was the desire to satisfy a personal ambition.

BOX 4970 JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA 32232-0019 REPLY TO ATTENTION OF JACKSONVILLE HARBOR (MILE POINT) NAVIGATION STUDY DUVAL COUNTY, FLORIDA FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT I have reviewed the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed action. This Finding incorporates by reference all discussions and conclusions contained in the Environmental Assessment enclosed hereto. Based on information analyzed in the EA, reflecting pertinent information obtained from agencies having jurisdiction by law and/or special expertise, I conclude that the proposed action will not significantly impact the quality of the human environment and does not require an Environmental Impact Statement. Reasons for this conclusion are in summary: a. Per the Recommended Plan, the existing Mile Point training wall would be reconfigured in order to redirect difficult crosscurrents. This should reduce or eliminate navigation restrictions impeding the movement of deep draft vessels. Dredged material resulting from the project would be used to restore salt marsh at nearby Great Marsh Island. This beneficial use of dredged material is also the least cost disposal option. A Flow Improvement Channel is being proposed in order to restore the historical connection between Chicopit Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway and St. Johns River. Reconfiguration of the training wall would result in the loss of approximately 8.15 acres of salt marsh and approximately 0.
