Comprehensive River Management Plan September 2011 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WEKIVA WILD AND SCENIC RIVER SYSTEM Florida __________________________________________________________________________ The Wekiva Wild and Scenic River System was designated by an act of Congress on October 13, 2000 (Public Law 106-299). The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 USC 1247) requires that each designated river or river segment must have a comprehensive river management plan developed. The Wekiva system has no approved plan in place. This document examines two alternatives for managing the Wekiva River System. It also analyzes the impacts of implementing each of the alternatives. Alternative A consists of the existing river management and trends and serves as a basis for comparison in evaluating the other alternative. It does not imply that no river management would occur. The concept for river management under alternative B would be an integrated program of goals, objectives, and actions for protecting and enhancing each outstandingly remarkable value. A coordinated effort among the many public agencies and entities would be needed to implement this alternative. Alternative B is the National Park Service’s and the Wekiva River System Advisory Management Committee’s preferred alternative. Implementing the preferred alternative (B) would result in coordinated multiagency actions that aid in the conservation or improvement of scenic values, recreation opportunities, wildlife and habitat, historic and cultural resources, and water quality and quantity. This would result in several long- term beneficial impacts on these outstandingly remarkable values. This Environmental Assessment was distributed to various agencies and interested organizations and individuals for their review and comment in August 2010, and has been revised as appropriate to address comments received.

    2. Study Area Guiding Principles The recommended study area is intended to meet the purpose and need of the project and minimize impacts to the social, cultural, natural and physical environment. A study area is a large area that is wide enough to contain several options for transportation improvements. The following “Guiding Principles” were used to identify the general study area within which a range of alternatives would be evaluated: • Follows, where feasible, existing road alignments through environmentally sensitive areas; • Minimizes direct impacts to wetlands; • Minimizes impacts on springshed and ground water recharge areas; • Serves an identified long-term regional transportation need; • Attempts to improve the connectivity of existing wildlife areas; • Relieves or removes traffic demands on SR 46 and provides a North-South connection from SR 46 to US 441 with limited interchanges; • Minimizes impacts to habitat and species; • Avoids, or mitigates if required, impacts on conservation lands and their proper management; • Seeks to minimize impacts on existing neighborhoods and residential communities; and, • Does not encourage or promote additional development from already approved land uses. 3. Composite Constraint Mapping The major features from the social, cultural, and natural environmental constraints were layered together to create a composite area map showing the major constraints and areas of concern (see Exhibit G-5). Areas without major constraints represent the most reasonable areas for alternatives development. These

Smith-Hicks (Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute), Heath Rauschenberger (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service [Service]), Lourdes Mena (Service), David Cook (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission [FWC]), and Erin Rivenbark (Service). Other species expertise, guidance, and document reviews were provided by Paul Moler (FWC), Gary Warren (FWC), Lindsey Reisinger (University of Florida), Katherine Lawlor (FWC), Kristi Lee (FWC), and Kasey Fralick (FWC). Additionally, peer reviewers including Troy Keller and Chester R. Figiel, Jr. provided valuable input into the analysis and reviews of a draft of this document. We appreciate their input and comments, which resulted in a more robust status assessment and final report. Suggested reference: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2020. Species status assessment report for Procambarus pictus (Black Creek crayfish), Version 1.0. July 2020. Atlanta, Georgia. ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Black Creek crayfish (Procambarus pictus) are small to medium sized crayfish endemic to four northeastern Florida counties (Clay, Duval, Putnam, and St. Johns) in the Lower St. Johns River Basin. Black Creek crayfish rely on cool, flowing, sand-bottomed, and tannic-stained streams that are highly oxygenated. Locations that fulfill the species’ habitat requirements are typically headwater sections of streams that maintain a constant flow; however, they are found in small and large tributary streams. Within these streams, Black Creek crayfish require aquatic vegetation and debris for shelter with alternation of shaded and open canopy cover where they eat aquatic plants, dead plant and animal material, and detritus.

  • Seminole State Forest Soils Map
    EXHIBIT I Management Procedures for Archaeological and Historical Sites and Properties on State-Owned or Controlled Lands Management Procedures for Archaeological and Historical Sites and Properties on State-Owned or Controlled Properties (revised February 2007) These procedures apply to state agencies, local governments, and non-profits that manage state- owned properties. A. General Discussion Historic resources are both archaeological sites and historic structures. Per Chapter 267, Florida Statutes, ‘Historic property’ or ‘historic resource’ means any prehistoric district, site, building, object, or other real or personal property of historical, architectural, or archaeological value, and folklife resources. These properties or resources may include, but are not limited to, monuments, memorials, Indian habitations, ceremonial sites, abandoned settlements, sunken or abandoned ships, engineering works, treasure trove, artifacts, or other objects with intrinsic historical or archaeological value, or any part thereof, relating to the history, government, and culture of the state.” B. Agency Responsibilities Per State Policy relative to historic properties, state agencies of the executive branch must allow the Division of Historical Resources (Division) the opportunity to comment on any undertakings, whether these undertakings directly involve the state agency, i.e., land management responsibilities, or the state agency has indirect jurisdiction, i.e. permitting authority, grants, etc. No state funds should be expended on the undertaking until the Division has the opportunity to review and comment on the project, permit, grant, etc. State agencies shall preserve the historic resources which are owned or controlled by the agency. Regarding proposed demolition or substantial alterations of historic properties, consultation with the Division must occur, and alternatives to demolition must be considered.
