Re: Stonecrop Waterway Replacement
Permit #4-061-60087-1
(Please reference permit number on all correspondence)
Dear Ms. Siefred:
The Water Management District conducted compliance inspections of the above referenced
project on July 12, 2001, and September 18, 2001. The purpose of these inspections was to
review the current status of the mitigation work required by the permit, and to prepare a baseline
monitoring report for future reference by the District.
The wetland mitigation areas have been successfully planted with appropriate wetland trees. All
required trees were accounted for, and most appear to be doing very well. At the time of the
second inspection, one cypress tree mortality was noted in the southeast region of the obligate
planting area. Natural recruitment of mostly desirable wetland vegetation has also occurred in
both areas, and overall the project appears to be progressing favorably. Although successful
establishment of the project cannot be determined until at least 80% of all planted individuals in
each stratum have survived throughout the monitoring period, it is expected that success criteria
will be met within the timeframe required.
As called for by condition #10 of the permit, the District is still in need of the final as built
certification for completion of the permitted system.
if you have questions or continents regarding this letter, feel free to contact Michelle Reiber at
(321) 676-6615 or Elois Lindsey at (321) 676-6622.
Sincerely,
