IV. Approval of Minutes -- April 12, 2021
Chairman Benton asked if everyone had a chance to review the Minutes as presented.
All indicated they had. Mr. Benton called for a motion. A motion approving the April 12,
2021 Minutes as presented was made by Mr. Carrano, seconded by Ms. Haigler, and
approved unanimously via voice vote.
V. Announcements
Ms. Haigler reviewed that this Sub -Committee had discussed the use of pathogens and
non -toxic live bacteria. After discussion with the AVC contractor, it was determined that,
for the amount of cattail that is being treated at Garden Club Lake, it would probably be
the best candidate to use the non -toxic live bacteria called Biozyme. So they are going
to be adding that to the water in monthly doses. It has a slow growth rate, but it also
requires repeated treatments. They are specialized bacteria that produce the
exoenzymes to help break down the organic materials. Since the cattails are a very tough
plant to break down, it was considered a good candidate. City staff have also arranged
PAGE 3 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT SUB -COMMITTEE PAGE 2
MINUTES OF MAY 10, 2021
for water quality and sediment testing in three different locations in the lake, and that will
be happening quarterly. So we will be able to report on that progress.
VI. Public Input
Seeing no one in chambers from the public wishing to speak and hearing no one on Zoom
who wished to speak, Mr. Benton moved to the next item on the agenda.
VII. New Business
A. AVC Spraying Contract Summary
Site -based review of pests treated since December 2020
Ms. Haigler reviewed that it was discussed at the last meeting that the four -month
summary of the chemicals used so far was reviewed. At that time, it was requested by
Ms. Callaghan that it be also broken down by location and by the plants treated. Ms.
Haigler displayed the charts on the projector for everyone to see. She reminded everyone
that this is not a regular treatment program; it is a recovery program. So there was nothing
much of significance shown. But, when you look at it over two years, you start to see a
huge difference. We know exactly where the main problems are and what they are mainly
treating and what locations were treated. She said that when she began collaborating all
the data that were available just from the four months, they really showed nothing
significant, as every location has been visited on a regular rotation twice just to monitor
how aggressive the pest populations are, and it really does not make a good comparison
until you look at it over the course of a year because different plants have different growing
seasons, and we are really in a recovery sort of program. She said that in the coming
months the annual report is definitely going to be broken down just the same way the two-
year summary was done.
Dr. Cox stated he went onto the website looking for these charts, but he could not find
them. Ms. Haigler said she has not updated them yet, but the version she just reviewed
is on the site now.
Mr. Benton reiterated that when we have the full one-year treatment summary, it will look
similar to this two-year treatment summary that is in front of the Sub -Committee presently,
but it will just show the one year. Ms. Haigler agreed. She also stated that once there is
a full year completed, it can be compared to a full year of the previous data.
Mr. Benton drew everyone's attention to the twin ditches on the two-year treatment
PAGE 4 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT SUB -COMMITTEE PAGE 3
MINUTES OF MAY 10, 2021
summary, it looks like it was treated 10 times. He did notice last week that there was a
major duckweed issue at the twin ditches by the golf course. Ms. Haigler said the twin
ditches situation is just like the Hardee Lake -- they are both choke points, and when it
rains the water flows, and that is the point where the duckweed gathers. It can then be
removed by the stormwater staff.
Mr. Benton called on anyone in chambers who wished to speak on this item as well as
anyone on Zoom who wished to speak. There being no one, Mr. Benton moved to the
next item on the agenda.
B. Pesticide Use Methodology
Planning Pesticide Application
Ms. Haigler stated that a lot of this information follows the same plan as the Parks and
Properties IPM Plan. However, the plan is very unique when we deal with aquatic
systems, so there are other things that must be considered. She reviewed the items
which are different from Parks and Properties, especially when it comes to " Discouraged
Procedure." She also explained the buffer zone and how it is different from the Parks and
Properties plan. The buffer zone for stormwater is only going to be treated by the aquatics
contractor.
ii. Pesticide Selection
Under this section, one of the main things to be addressed is herbicide resistance, which
she reviewed. The environmental impact quotient (EIQ) is also going to be used, and she
reviewed what these data are. Biopesticides are also addressed. They are not
recommended for aquatic use. Regarding restrictions, there are no specific restricted
herbicides. They will be listed by their caution labels. As to the approved pesticide list,
she will review this in detail at the next meeting.
iii. Treatment Notification
Ms. Haigler explained that the signage will be the same for the most part as for the Parks
and Properties Plan. It is somewhat different because it cannot be known a week prior
to the slated application date exactly what will need to be applied. The contractor comes
out and inspects, and City staff does not know more than 24 hours prior what they are
going to be spraying. There is an online notification system that is being worked on, and
that will be how City staff will give that notice 24 hours prior, not through the signage. The
signage
PAGE 5 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT SUB -COMMITTEE PAGE 4
MINUTES OF MAY 10, 2021
will be mainly at the public points of entry, including the kayak launches and the areas
with direct access to the water. The signage will not be put on residents' private property.
Ms. Haigler called for questions/comments from the Sub -Committee members.
Mr. Stadelman asked if there are considerations for weather conditions. Ms. Haigler
reviewed that is part of the labeled use: the product can only be used in certain wind
conditions. The contractor is able to measure the wind and the temperature or the rain
on site. That is all a part of the treatment sheets that are submitted. Mr. Stadelman also
inquired as to whether the employee or the contractor who is doing the spraying has the
authority to decide whether to spray that day or not. Ms. Haigler said yes.
Mr. Carrano also commented that rainfall is extremely important because that can flush
the pesticides down the drain a lot quicker. He suggested that where the wording "such
as high winds" appears, "rainfall" should also be mentioned. Ms. Haigler agreed. Mr.
Carrano also suggested that the wording in this paragraph, "VII. PESTICIDE USE
METHODOLOGY," be changed somewhat. Ms. Haigler stated she will review the
language, and discussion regarding this can be had at the next meeting.
Ms. Callaghan inquired whether staff have an idea of when the City will be in the
maintenance mode regarding using pesticides instead of having to play catchup. Mr.
Benton explained that the maintenance mode will come into play in only the chemical
area. In the mechanical removal, it will be spaced out such that the vegetation will not be
as overgrown as it has been recently, and they will not have so much to catch up on. Ms.
Callaghan suggested adding some text to the document such as a little more history in
dealing with the moratorium, and that the City is playing catchup, and it may take a few
years just to get to that maintenance goal. Mr. Benton added that in speaking to "JD,"
from AVC who handles a lot of the spraying here in Sebastian, we are a little slower
getting to the maintenance level due to the non-use of glyphosate. Glyphosate is one of
their main tools to use, specifically in the situation that the City is in with some of the pests
that have been identified within Sebastian's system.
Dr. Cox commented that he sees this plan as being of educational value to the City.
These problems will not be solved all at once, but this is a good prelude to actually
implementing the plan for Sebastian's stormwater system. Mr. Benton added that this is
going to help staff when we get into the Master Plan for the stormwater system in
continuing to move forward and improving the system. Dr. Cox added that he has been
trying to find out how Martin County is doing by not using glyphosate. So far, no one has
gotten back to him on that subject. He also opined that sometime in the future there will
be a global ban on the use of glyphosate.
PAGE 6 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT SUB -COMMITTEE PAGE 5
MINUTES OF MAY 10, 2021
Mr. Stadelman asked if the City will be developing protocols for if and when the City may
have to use the glyphosate product as a final option. Ms. Haigler stated that this Board
will get into the details of the Approved Pesticide Table at the next meeting. Mr. Benton
stated that he believes City staff will, at sometime in the future, have to bring that subject
to this Committee. Also, in speaking with "JD" regarding this matter, JD feels that the City
is hindering his company to the point of being able to get us out of the reactionary period
and being able to go to a maintenance period. That is the main goal -- to maintain the
system.
Extended discussion was had among Sub -Committee members and staff regarding when
spraying should be done and the difficulties attendant to that. Following the discussion,
Mr. Benton opened the meeting for public input on Item B, Pesticide Use Methodology.
Seeing no one in chambers and hearing no one on Zoom, Mr. Benton moved to the next
item on the agenda.
VIII. Old Business
IX. Sub -Committee Member Matters
Mr. Stadelman spoke about giant Salvinia, which is the plant he was assigned to research.
He stated that he noticed that there is a giant lake in Africa that is infested with this plant,
and what they are using is a weevil, a type of bug that just eats that plant. He just wanted
to mention this. Ms. Haigler stated there are a lot of weevils that are being tested, and it
is a very long process before they can be released. If they already naturally existed in an
area, it is not as long a process. Since they are not native to this area, it has to go through
extensive testing before it can be released. Sometimes it passes all the testing, but we
cannot raise that size population in our conditions. She added that at this point there is
nothing biologically available for Salvinia.
Dr. Cox announced that FWC is holding a focus group for the development of their plan
for Lake Okeechobee. He will get the date and forward it to Mr. Benton

Chairman Benton asked if everyone had a chance to review the Minutes as presented.
All indicated they had. Mr. Benton called for a motion. A motion approving the May 3,
2021 Minutes as presented was made by Mr. Stadelman, seconded by Mr. Carrano, and
approved unanimously via voice vote.
V. Announcements
A. IFAS, Audubon, and Leisure Services Native Test Plot Project
Ms. Haigler described that the IFAS Extension Office via Nickie Munroe, who is the
Director of the Master Gardeners program, is partnering with the City and the Audubon
Society in implementing a project in the City's parks where 4' x 4' test plots are going to
be planted with native plants for pest control. It will begin with insect surveys over the
summer in different areas to create the base data. In the fall, 4' x `4 plots will be planted
PAGE 10 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT SUB -COMMITTEE PAGE 2
MINUTES OF MAY 25, 2021
in some of the parks and will be maintained through next year, and the program will then
be reassessed. This is in line with the City's Parks and Properties IPM Plan. Mr.
Stadelman asked if volunteers will be needed for that program, and Ms. Haigler said
volunteers will be solicited for that program in the fall.
VI. Public Input
There being no one in Council chambers and no one present on Zoom, Mr. Benton moved
to the next item on the agenda.
VII. New Business
A. Approved Pesticide Table
Ms. Haigler reviewed that this Sub -Committee has approved other versions of this table
that were not complete. This version is now complete. It sets forth the cost and the cost
rating, and the EIQ and the Field Use EIQ are also set forth. She explained that there
are a couple of numbers that are really high. There is a conversion issue about many
chemicals being put into acre feet, which is a measurement that includes depth. So it
may be that the Field Use EIQ will not apply to these, so more research will be done on
the copper and the Diquat. Also added was the "Label Signal Word." She explained that
the signal word in these two products actually applies to the toxicity to humans, and it has
to do with the handling of the products. There are different areas in which they can be
toxic, such as when they are eaten or absorbed through the skin or gotten in the eyes.
Whatever is the highest Signal Word that applies is the one that is applied to it. All of
those methods can be eliminated by wearing a PPE. That is how the "Label Signal Word"
works. That word does not apply to environmental toxicity or indirect contact with it. She
called for questions/comments from the Sub -Committee members.
Ms. Callaghan stated her comment is not of huge importance, but she is a person who
desires definitions for symbols, and she asked if it is worth defining what a single dollar
sign symbol represents. She also pointed out that Diquat and Endothall have a single
dollar symbol, and she questions the single dollar symbol next to something that looks
more expensive than the two dollar symbols for the same quantity. Ms. Haigler explained
that the amount that is actually used per acre is a lot less. Ms. Callaghan asked if there
will be another version of this table presented regarding this subject. Ms. Haigler said
she has reached out a few times to Cornell University for some additional input, but she
has not gotten anyone to reply to her. She will explore this question with someone else
who specializes in this kind of measurement. Ms. Callaghan commented that the use of
WOW is not going to be in this table, and she suggested that that is correct. Ms. Haigler
PAGE 11 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT SUB -COMMITTEE PAGE 3
MINUTES OF MAY 25, 2021
recalled that at the last meeting when she went over the treatment sheets from AVC, the
contracting company, they tested WOW in a few areas along the canal system, and there
were poor results. So they do not recommend using it considering how much they would
have to use, and they feel it is not safe for the water. So that product has been removed.
Ms. Callaghan suggested that the WOW product might need to be added should it need
to be defended in some way in the future, stating that it was considered at one time;
however, because of the findings that were made, it has been excluded from
consideration for chemical treatment. Ms. Haigler stated it could be included where there
is talk about biopesticides.
Mr. Benton stated his opinion, which is that the WOW product should not be included in
the plan because it is not an approved aquatic product. Also, he thinks Sebastian should
not be involved in giving a company or product a bad name on something that the City
has done a minimal test on. If they would want to make it an approved aquatic pesticide,
they would do more in-depth testing. He recommends that at this point we leave that
product out and do not state that it is something that does not fit with our plan. If the
manufacturer does further testing of it or comes up with an alternative product, etc., the
City can adjust the plan at that time.
Dr. Cox emphasized that WOW was never intended for use in aquatic environments. He
agrees that it does not need to be included. He also stated he would like to have more
information on what the dollar signs on the table represent. He would like to see
somewhere in the text an explanation of that subject. He also asked what the units are
in the WSSA resistance management group. Ms. Haigler stated that the chemicals that
are in the same group have the same mode of action as to how they work. Chemicals
with the same mode of action should not be used consecutively, the idea being that to
decrease weed resistance chemicals with different modes of action be used. The same
chemical is not used the same way every time, because aquatic plants tend to build a
resistance. So next time something in a different group would be used.
Mr. Stadelman stated that as he researched the individual chemicals, he noted that a few
of them had no published data for toxicity in humans. He is wondering if that is a concern.
Ms. Haigler stated that, if it has a signal word, that means it has been tested. Mr.
Stadelman said that when he researched it on the internet, it specifically stated that there
was not a paper written on human study for several products. Ms. Haigler stated that the
makers of the products do not have to do their own study on human toxicity; the active
ingredient in the product is what is approved. That chemical has been tested when it was
developed before it was approved. Any trade names developed under that do not
necessarily have to do their own testing, because it has already been done for the active
ingredient. Mr. Stadelman stated he would do some more research on this matter.
PAGE 12 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT SUB -COMMITTEE PAGE 4
MINUTES OF MAY 25, 2021
Mr. Benton asked if the "Label Signal Word" only includes the effects on humans, not the
effects on environments. Ms. Haigler stated that is correct. She added that when you
put in for the Field Use EIQ, it is broken down into just the environmental data, so she
could put in another column after the EIQ that just says Environmental EIQ, because that
number is provided. Mr. Benton asked for that to be done. He also had concerns
regarding copper, Diquat, and peroxides. He asked if peroxides are an actual good use
EIQ. Ms. Haigler stated it is awfully high. Highs should be 42, 45; low would be 6, 8. So
it is an outlier. She feels that it has to do with the acre feet. She needs to find a surface
application number for it.
Ms. Callaghan recommended to Mr. Stadelman when he is doing his research to look for
the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). It is an EPA group that will provide listings
by herbicides, pesticides, etc. It will list the human health risk assessments that have
been done.
Mr. Benton said that this is going to come back again before the Sub -Committee
regardless of whether that section was added or not. He asked what the Sub -
Committee's pleasure is on this first review of the pesticide table. A motion to approve
the pesticides as it exists, minus the environmental issues that were discussed, was made
by Mr. Stadelman and seconded by Mr. Carrano. An objection was raised by Ms.
Callaghan by stating that we also have to comment that we are going to define the dollar
symbol as well; otherwise she approves of the motion. Mr. Benton asked that, since there
is so much information to be changed or added, Mr. Stadelman withdraw his motion. Mr.
Stadelman withdrew his motion to approve Item A., Approved Pesticide Table. Mr.
Benton reviewed that this item will be brought back at the next meeting, an Environmental
EIQ will be added as well as a table that explains what the dollar signs signify. Those are
the two main items that staff will come back with following their review of those items.
B. Data Management
Ms. Haigler reviewed this section and how the data is collected and reported. There is
the Monthly IPM Log, which is done by the Stormwater Department. There will also be
the Field Treatment Sheets, which is what AVC uses in the field. They are sent to her
every month. That also will include any purchase orders for chemicals or IPM-related
equipment and materials, and any contractors who operate, such as AVC. They will have
a contractor agreement form to sign. The Program Transparency element is that all these
records will be available on the City's IPM website or upon request. The Annual Report
and Evaluation summarizes everything that is going to be included, which she reviewed.
She then called for comments/questions.
PAGE 13 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT SUB -COMMITTEE PAGE 5
MINUTES OF MAY 25, 2021
Mr. Stadelman asked regarding Data Management, if the weather is a part of this. Ms.
Haigler stated that is on the treatment sheets, but there is not going to be a correlation
between the weather and what they treat or where they treat. It is on the treatment
document that they cannot spray when weather conditions prohibit spraying. Mr. Benton
added that the data sheets from the contractor will show that information. The only thing
that may be added is to record whether or not it rains within the next 48 hours or
something of that nature.
Mr. Carrano asked if there are any post -treatment visual inspections being done. Mr.
Benton added that there are stormwater staff who are out there taking pictures. They are
doing this a week or two after the treatment has been done. Mr. Carrano added that this
allows the staff to know how precise their spraying method is — if they are spraying plants
that should not be sprayed or if it was too windy so as to create a lot of overspray and
that the City is getting what it is paying for. He suggested wording to that effect be added
to the document. Mr. Benton stated staff will make sure they are documenting all that
information from problem areas. Ms. Haigler stated she would make "Quality Control" a
sub -title and include the information that way. Ms. Callaghan also suggested some
wording that should be included, such as identifying the areas where problems are
appearing. Mr. Benton agreed.
Dr. Cox said page 24 is missing from his copy of the document. Mr. Benton stated that
the pesticide chart will be page 24 when the document is finalized.
There being no further discussion, Mr. Benton called for the Sub -Committee's position on
this section of the document. A motion approving the Data Management Plan with the
addition of a Quality Control section was made by Mr. Stadelman, seconded by Dr. Cox,
and was passed unanimously via voice vote.
VIII. Old Business
A. Chemical Methodology
Review recent edits made and vote for final approval
Ms. Haigler reviewed that the main part that was changed is the first paragraph. The
whole introduction did not fit with what our procedures are for the City's stormwater
system. She has reworded the entire thing, and she read aloud the entire introduction
paragraph. She then asked for comments from the Sub -Committee members.
Dr. Cox suggested inserting the word "reluctantly" somewhere in this introduction
PAGE 14 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT SUB -COMMITTEE PAGE 6
MINUTES OF MAY 25, 2021
paragraph that would seem to say that we really do not want to revert to pesticides, but
we know we are going to have to at some point. Ms. Haigler stated that it already says
minimal chemical controls are to be utilized. She suggested that that clarifies that our
goal is not to douse everything with chemicals.
Mr. Stadelman commented that one of the goals of this Sub -Committee is to take the
reluctance out of it, to have people use this as gospel, that they can rely on what we are
doing, having gone through the process extensively for many months with input from
several people, including people with experience in this field. He would hesitate to use
the term "reluctance" in this area of the document. Ms. Haigler agrees.
Mr. Carrano stated that the document is very well written as is.
Ms. Callaghan commented on the sections of the document outside of the introductory
paragraph. She commented relative to Dr. Cox's comment earlier regarding a suggestion
in the herbicide resistance section to add a statement that explains what a low number or
a high number means in that table. She suggests adding a statement about what those
numbers represent. Ms. Haigler read the sentence which states, "To prevent or mitigate
herbicide resistance it is advised to rotate or combine herbicide mode of action, which will
help reduce the selective pressure applied by any one product." Dr. Cox stated it would
help if an example were used. Mr. Benton suggested that what they mean is to add an
example there using one of the products, and when there is resistance to that, using a
different product. Mr. Carrano commented that Diquat and 2, 4-D seem to be combined
quite often. Mr. Benton stated that staff will make those insertions and will bring this item
back as well. Mr. Benton asked what the Sub -Committee wishes to do.
A motion to accept the Data Management section subject to the change of adding an
example on the Herbicide Resistance WSSA group as proposed by the Sub -Committee
was made by Mr. Carrano, seconded by Mr. Stadelman, and approved unanimously via
voice vote.
IX. Sub -Committee Member Matters
Ms. Munroe said she is present as a listener. She is taking notes so if there is a time
where Ms. Haigler may need Ms. Munroe to help her compile a few more lists or a few
more examples of plants that have become resistant, she is here for educational support.
Ms. Munroe addressed the term of "reluctantly." She agrees that we do not want to put
our finger on the scale, so to speak, of tools that people might be able to have in their
toolbox. We have to remember that, although we have our preferences, there are some
PAGE 15 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT SUB -COMMITTEE PAGE 7
MINUTES OF MAY 25, 2021
people for whom some of these items will not be an option. We cannot influence them
by using that particular term because it might be misinterpreted. We need to be careful
when speaking with others so that we do not give them the impression that we may be
slightly judgmental. Mr. Benton agreed and thanked Ms. Munroe for her assistance.
Ms. Stadelman thanked everyone for participating in this project. He wishes there were
more members of the public present.
X. Staff Matters
Mr. Benton stated that Ms. Haigler, he, and other members of City staff had the kickoff
meeting with Arcadis, who is the Stormwater Master Plan contractor. That process will
be getting started and is going to be a lengthy process and a very involved, detailed
process that staff will be heavily involved with, and at some point, public education and
public input will be presented. This IPM will be included in that and will play an integral
part as we continue to move forward with the Stormwater Master Plan in the City. It is
much needed and will be a great asset for the City.
Mr. Benton stated he had the pleasure of going out to Lake Okeechobee yesterday.
Federal and state legislators along with people from many of the federal agencies, state
agencies, US Fish and Wildlife, FWC, Department of Interior, and Everglades Restoration
groups were present. He got a chance to go out on an airboat to see portions of the lake,
and the group came back and spoke about some of the watershed areas and what is
being done there to improve water quality. One of the important things that he took from
this event was that one of the legislators stated that they sat in the oval office, and it did
not matter which side they were on, the one thing that they all agreed on was the
Everglades and Lake Okeechobee. It was pointed out that it is going to take everyone
from the top to the bottom of the state to fix this problem. It was a positive event, and lots
of ideas for discussion were put forth. He was of the opinion that, as time passes, if they
can get the appropriations monetarily from the government, we will see a lot of activity
happening going forward.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
IX. FUTURE RECOMMENDATIONS
The IPM Sub -Committee acknowledges that this plan does not encompass every aspect of
integrated pest management, nor could it address every possible scenario that may arise as
this plan is incorporated into City policy. For this reason, the sub -committee members are in
consensus that they shall reconvene six (6) months following adoption of this plan in order to
closely review the data collected and address any inconsistencies, or amendments needed.
For future consideration the Sub -Committee Members make the following recommendations:
• Cornell University's EIQ is designed for crop and turf grass applications; there are no
other similar numerical pesticide evaluation methods designed specifically for aquatic
use. The committee agrees that the EIQ is still useful and will provide a good numerical
comparison of chemicals used over time. During future annual reviews of this plan,
committee members will research for updates to the EIQ, or the creation of other
numerical comparison methods which are better suited.
• The collection of data for purposes of monitoring impact to native plants, animals, and
pollinators from the conduct of pest management activities is not being required. The
field EIQ formula assumes that native plants, animals, and pollinators are all present and
measures potential risks to them by using the score assigned to the chemical and
incorporating the area covered and frequency of application. Should future review of
data that are being collected indicate excessive or regular use of chemicals, a more
quantitative approach may be needed.
• At the time that this IPM plan was drafted, there were no bio pesticides state -approved
for use on aquatic plants. It is therefore recommended that the IPM Coordinator check
the state website regularly, so that as soon as one is available, it may be approved for
inclusion into the "Approved Pesticides Table."
• This plan addresses aquatic plants as the only "pest" of the stormwater conveyance
system, however, the committee realizes this may not always be the case and upon
future annual reviews, the need for control of insects or pathogens may need to be
addressed.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
City of Sebastian
Code of Ordinances
CH.50 Sec. 50-5. - Florida -friendly fertilizer use on urban landscapes.
(a) Findings. As a result of impairment to the City of Sebastian's surface waters caused by excessive
nutrients, or, as a result of increasing levels of nitrogen in the surface and/or ground water within the
aquifers or springs within the boundaries of the City of Sebastian, the city council has determined
that the use of fertilizers on lands within the City of Sebastian creates a contributing risk that
adversely effects surface and/or ground water.
(b) Purpose and intent. This section regulates the proper use of fertilizers by any applicator; requires
proper training of commercial and institutional fertilizer applicators; establishes training and
licensing requirements; establishes a prohibition application period; specifies allowable fertilizer
application rates and methods, fertilizer -free zones, low maintenance zones, and exemptions. The
ordinance requires the use of Best Management Practices which provide specific management
guidelines to minimize negative secondary and cumulative environmental effects associated with
the misuse of fertilizers. These secondary and cumulative effects have been observed in and on the
City of Sebastian's natural and constructed stormwater conveyances, rivers, creeks, canals, springs,
lakes, estuaries and other water bodies. Collectively, these water bodies are an asset critical to the
environmental, recreational, cultural and economic well-being of the City of Sebastian's residents
and the health of the public. Overgrowth of algae and vegetation hinder the effectiveness of flood
attenuation provided by natural and constructed stormwater conveyances. Regulation of nutrients,
including both phosphorus and nitrogen contained in fertilizer, will help improve and maintain
water and habitat quality.
(c) Definitions. For this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth in this section
unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
"Administrator" means the city manager, or any other city official designated by the city manager.
'Application" or "apply" means the actual physical deposit of fertilizer to turf or landscape plants.
'Applicator" means any person who applies fertilizer on turf and/or landscape plants in the City of
Sebastian.
"Board" or "governing board" means City Council of the City of Sebastian.
'Best Management Practices" means turf and landscape practices or combinations of practices
based on research, field-testing, and expert review, determined to be the most effective and
practicable on -location means, including economic and technological considerations, for improving
water quality, conserving water supplies and protecting natural resources.
"Commercial fertilizer applicator", except as provided in F.S. § 482.1562(9), means any person who
applies fertilizer for payment or other consideration to property not owned by the person or firm
applying the fertilizer or the employer of the applicator.
"Fertilize", "fertilizing", or "fertilization" means the act of applying fertilizer to turf, specialized turf, or
landscape plants.
"Guaranteed analysis" means the percentage of plant nutrients or measures of neutralizing
capability claimed to be present in a fertilizer.
'Institutional applicator" means any person, other than a private, non-commercial or a commercial
applicator (unless such definitions also apply under the circumstances), that applies fertilizer for the
purpose of maintaining turf and/or landscape plants. Institutional applicators shall include, but shall not
CITY OF SEBASTIAN PAGE 35
PAGE 25 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
be limited to, owners, managers or employees of public lands, schools, parks, religious institutions,
utilities, industrial or business sites and any residential properties maintained in condominium and/or
common ownership.
"Landscape plant" means any native or exotic tree, shrub or groundcover (excluding turf).
"Low maintenance zone" means an area a minimum of ten feet wide adjacent to water courses
which is planted and managed in order to minimize the need for fertilization, watering, mowing, etc.
"Person" means any natural person, business, corporation, limited liability company, partnership,
limited partnership, association, club, organization, an/or any group of people acting as an organized
entity.
"Prohibited application period" means June 1 through September 30 or the time period during
which a flood watch or warning, or a tropical storm water or warning, or a hurricane watch or warning is
in effect for any portion of the City of Sebastian, issued by the National Weather Service, or if heavy
rainfall is likely.
"Sebastian Approved Management Practices Training Program" means a training program
approved per F.S. § 403.9338, or any more stringent requirements set forth in this Chapter that includes
the most current version of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's "Florida -Friendly Best
Management Practices for Protection of water Resources by the Green Industries, 2008" as revised and
approved by the administrator.
"Saturated soil" means a soil in which the voids are filled with water. Saturation does not require
flow. For the purpose of this section, soils shall be considered saturated if standing water is present or the
pressure of a person standing on the soil causes the release of free water.
"Slow release", "controlled release", "timed release", "slowly available" or "water insoluble nitrogen"
means nitrogen in a form which delays its availability for plant uptake and use after application, or
which extends its availability to the plant longer than a reference rapid or quick release product.
"Turf", "sod" , or "lawn" means a piece of grass -covered soil held together by the roots of the grass.
"Urban landscape" means pervious areas on residential, commercial, industrial, institutional,
highway right-of-way, or other nonagricultural lands that are planted with turf or horticultural plants. For
the purposes of this section, agriculture has the same meaning as in F.S. § 570.02.
(d) Applicability. This section shall be applicable to and shall regulate all applicators of fertilizer and
areas of application of fertilizer within the City of Sebastian unless such applicator is specifically
exempted by the terms of this section from the regulatory provision of this section. This section shall
be prospective only, and shall not impair any existing contracts.
(e) Timing of fertilizer application. No applicator shall apply fertilizers containing nitrogen and/or
phosphorus to turf and/or landscape plants during the prohibited application period, or to
saturated soils.
(f) Fertilizer free zones. Fertilizer shall not be applied within ten feet of any pond, stream, watercourse,
lake, canal, or wetland as defined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Chapter
62-340, Florida Administrative Code) or from the top of a seawall. If more stringent City of Sebastian
Code regulations apply, this provision does not relieve the requirement to adhere to the more
stringent regulations. Newly planted turf and/or landscape plants may be fertilized in this zone only
for a 60-day period beginning 30 days after planting if need to allow the plants to become well
established. Caution shall be used to prevent direct deposition of nutrients into the water.
(g) Low maintenance zones. A voluntary ten -foot low maintenance zone is strongly recommended,
but not mandated, from any pond, stream, water course, lake, wetland or from the top of a
seawall. A swale/berm system is recommended for installation at the landward edge of this low
maintenance zone to capture and filter runoff. If more stringent City of Sebastian Code regulations
CITY OF SEBASTIAN PAGE 36
PAGE 26 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
apply, this provision does not relieve the requirement to adhere to the more stringent regulations.
No mowed or cut vegetative material may be deposited or left remaining in this zone or deposited
in the water. Care should be taken to prevent the over -spray of aquatic weed products in this
zone.
(h) Fertilizer content and application rates.
(1) No fertilizer containing phosphorous shall be applied to turf or landscape plants in the City of
Sebastian unless a soil or plant tissue deficiency is verified by a University of Florida, Institute of

with the rates and directions for the Central Region of Florida as provided by Rule 5E-1.003(2),
Florida Administrative Code. Deficiency verification shall be no more than two years old.
However, recent application of compost, manure, or top soil shall warrant more recent testing
to verify current deficiencies.
(2) The nitrogen content of fertilizer applied to turf or landscape plants within the City of
Sebastian shall contain at least 50 percent slow release nitrogen per guaranteed analysis label.
(3) Fertilizers applied to an urban lawn or turf within the City of Sebastian shall be applied in
accordance with requirements and directions set forth on the label or tag for packaged
fertilizer products, or in the printed information accompanying the delivery of bulk fertilizer
products, as provided by Rule 5E-1.003(2), Florida Administrative Code, Labeling Requirements
For Urban Turf Fertilizers. All packaged and bulk fertilizer products sold in the City of Sebastian
shall be sold in packages with labels or tags, or, if sold in bulk, be accompanied by printed
information, which complies with the requirements of Rule 5E-1.003(2), Florida Administrative
Code.
(4) Fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus shall not be applied before seeding or sodding a
site, and shall not be applied for the first 30 days after seeding or sodding, except when hydro -
seeding for temporary or permanent erosion control in an emergency situation (wildfire, etc.),
or in accordance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for that site.
(i) Application practices.
(1) Spreader deflector shields are required when fertilizing via rotary (broadcast) spreaders.
Deflectors must be positioned such that fertilizer granules are deflected away from all
impervious surfaces, fertilizer -free zones and water bodies, include wetlands.
(2) Fertilizer shall not be applied, spilled or otherwise deposited on any impervious surfaces.
(3) Any fertilizer applied, spilled, or deposited, either intentionally or accidentally, on any
impervious surface shall be immediately and completely removed to the greatest extent

applied to turf or any other legal site, or returned to the original or other appropriate container.
(5) In no case shall fertilizer be washed, swept, or blown off impervious surfaces into stormwater
drains, ditches, conveyances, or water bodies.
(j) Management of grass clipping and vegetative matter. In no case shall grass clippings, vegetative
material, and/or vegetative debris be washed, swept, or blown off into stormwater drains, ditches,
conveyances, water bodies, wetlands, or sidewalks or roadways. Any material that is accidentally
so deposited shall be immediately removed to the maximum extent practicable.

Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) Formula:
EIQ={C[(DT*S)+(DT*P)]+
[(C*((S+P)/2)*SY)+(L)]+
[(F*R)+(D*((S+P)/2)*3)+(Z*P*3)+(B*P*S)])/3
• DT = dermal toxicity ability of a substance to cause local reaction and/or systemic poisoning in
people or animals by contact with the skin
• C = chronic toxicity Harmful effects caused in repeated exposure situations
• SY = systemicity ability of the product to be translocated to other tissues which have not
received the product directly
• F = fish toxicity risk to fish, the most sensitive aquatic vertebrate to toxicity
• L = leaching potential risk of moving through the soil profile, leaching, and getting into
groundwater
• R = surface loss potential susceptible to loss through runoff and erosion during high -intensity
rainfall events
• D = bird toxicity risk to birds, which are the vertebrates most sensitive to toxicity
• S = soil half-life persistence, or the "lasting -power" of a pesticide within the soil
• Z = bee toxicity risk to the essential pollinators
• B = beneficial arthropod toxicity risk to non -target organisms which are an important group of
microorganisms that work to maintain ecosystem health
• P = plant surface half-life. Persistence, or the "lasting- power" of a pesticide on the surface of the
leaves, stems, and fruit
Once an EIQ value has been established for the active ingredient of each pesticide, field use
calculations can begin. To accurately compare pesticides and pest management strategies, the dose,
the formulation or percent active ingredient of the product and the frequency of application of each
pesticide needs to be determined. To account for different formulations of the same active ingredient
and different use patterns, a simple equation called the EIQ Field Use Rating was developed. This rating
is calculated by multiplying the EIQ value for the specific chemical obtained in the tables by the
percent active ingredient in the formulation by the rate per acre used (usually in pints or pounds of
formulated product).
EIQ FIELD USE RATING = EIQ x % ACTIVE INGREDIENT x RATE

Code of Ordinances
Article XI, Sec. 54-3-11.2. - Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control.
(a) Required soil erosion and sedimentation control plan. In order to prevent both soil erosion and
sedimentation, a soil erosion and sedimentation control plan shall be required as a part of an
application for a subdivision construction permit, site plan review, plot plan review of a single-family
residential lot and whenever a development will involve any clearing, removal of native or protected
vegetation, grading, transporting, or other form of disturbing land by the movement of earth.
(b) Erosion control measures. All measures necessary to minimize soil erosion and to control
sedimentation in the disturbed land area shall be implemented. The following protection shall be
provided for all disturbed areas: minimize velocities of water runoff and wind erosion, maximize
protection of disturbed areas from stormwater runoff, and prevent or retain sedimentation within the
development site as early as possible following disturbances. A list of major problem areas for erosion
and sedimentation control follows. For each one, the purpose(s) of requiring control is described. Soil
erosion and sedimentation control measures for all such areas shall be provided with a view toward
achieving the specific purpose listed below for which a control plan is required:
(1) Erodable slopes: Prevent detachment and transportation of soil particles from slope.
(2) Streams, streambeds, streambanks, bodies of water, lake shorelines: Prevent detachment and
transportation of soil particles.
(3) Drainageways: Prevent detachment and transportation of soil particles (which would otherwise
deposit in streams, bodies of water, or wetlands); promote deposit or sediment loads (traversing these
areas) before these reach bodies of water.
(4) Land adjacent to streams, ponds, lakes, and wetlands: Prevent detachment and transportation of
soil particles. The applicant shall not adversely impact aquatic vegetation within the sensitive transition
zone located between the upland and the mean high water line (ordinary high water line for non -tidal
waters). No such vegetation shall be disturbed without approval of the city. Any such approval shall be
based on a demonstrated necessity that promotes the overall public health, safety and welfare.
Furthermore, any such disturbance of aquatic vegetation shall be compensated by re -vegetation
based on a plan approved by the city as stipulated herein. The applicant shall coordinate plans for
riverfront development with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection as well as the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers where tidal waters might be impacted. Where deemed appropriate, the site plan
shall include the planting of native indigenous aquatic plant vegetation to promote stability of the
shoreline.
(5) Enclosed drainage structure: Prevent sedimentation in structure, erosion at outfall of system and
deposit of sediment loads within system or beyond it.
(6) Large flat surface areas (unpaved): Prevent detachment of soil particles and their off -site
transportation.
CITY OF SEBASTIAN PAGE 52
PAGE 40 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
(7) Impervious surfaces: Prevent the detachment and transportation of soil (in response to an increase
in the rate and/or volume of runoff of the site or its concentration caused by impervious surfaces).
(8) Borrow and stockpile areas: Divert runoff from face of slopes exposed in the excavation process;
convey runoff in stabilized channels to stable disposal points; leave borrow areas and stockpiles in
stable condition.
(c) Applicability. Appropriate measures shall be taken during land clearing and building operations to
assure that exposed, destabilized or otherwise altered soil is expeditiously covered with an acceptable
erosion control material. The provision shall be applicable to the act of subdividing and installation of
related improvements as well as during the development review process including the period during
which improvements may occur as well as the length of time soil may be exposed to the environment.
The tree and native vegetation protection ordinance shall be applicable to all clearing and grading
activities and shall include specifications for management principles guiding the removal or placement
of vegetation and landscaping design. Regulations shall also require developers to take precautionary
measures, where necessary, to avert destruction or damage to native vegetation.

State of Florida
State Statutes
Title XXVII Chapter 369.22. - Aquatic Plant Management.
(1)This section shall be known as the "Florida Aquatic Plant Management Act."(2)For the purpose of this
section, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:
(a) "Commission" means the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
(b) "Aquatic plant" is any plant growing in, or closely associated with, the aquatic environment and
includes "floating," "emersed,""submersed," and "ditch bank" species.(c)A "maintenance program" is
a method for the management of aquatic plants in which control techniques are utilized in a
coordinated manner as determined by the commission.
(d) An "eradication program" is a method for the management of aquatic plants in which control
techniques are utilized in a coordinated manner in an attempt to kill all the aquatic plants on a
permanent basis in a given geographical area.
(e) A "complaint spray program" is a method for the management of aquatic plants in which weeds
are allowed to grow unhindered to a given level of undesirability, at which point eradication techniques
are applied in an effort to restore the area in question to are relatively low level of infestation.
(f) "Waters" means rivers, streams, lakes, navigable waters and associated tributaries, canals,
meandered lakes, enclosed water systems, and any other bodies of water.(g)"Districts" means the six
water management districts created by law and named, respectively, the Northwest Florida Water
Management District, the Suwannee River Water Management District, the St. Johns River Water
Management District, the Southwest Florida Water Management District, the Central and Southern
Florida Flood Control District, and the Ridge and Lower Gulf Coast Water Management District; and on
July 1, 1975, shall mean the five water management districts created by chapter 73-190, Laws of Florida,
and named, respectively, the Northwest Florida Water Management District, the Suwannee River Water
Management District, the St. Johns River Water Management District, the Southwest Florida Water
Management District, and the South Florida Water Management District.
(3) The Legislature recognizes that the uncontrolled growth of aquatic plants in the waters of Florida
poses a variety of environmental, health, safety, and economic problems. The Legislature
acknowledges the responsibility of the state to cope with the uncontrolled and seemingly never-ending
growth of aquatic plants in the waters throughout Florida. It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature
that the state policy for the management of aquatic plants in waters of state responsibility be carried
out under the general supervision and control of the commission. It is the intent of the Legislature that
the management of aquatic plants be carried out primarily by means of maintenance programs, rather
than eradication or complaint spray programs, for the purpose of achieving more effective
management at a lower long-range cost. It is also the intent of the Legislature that the commission
guide, review, approve, and coordinate all aquatic plant management programs within each of the
water management districts as defined in paragraph (2) (g). It is the intent of the Legislature to account
for the costs of aquatic plant management programs by watershed for comparison purposes.
CITY OF SEBASTIAN PAGESS

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
(4)The commission shall supervise and direct all management programs for aquatic plants, as provided
in this section, so as to protect human health, safety, and recreation and, to the greatest degree
practicable, prevent injury to plant, fish, and animal life and to property. (5)When state funds are
involved, or when waters of state responsibility are involved, it is the duty of the commission to guide,
review, approve, and coordinate the activities of all public bodies, authorities, state agencies, units of
local or county government, commissions, districts, and special districts engaged in operations to
manage or eradicate aquatic plants. The commission may delegate all or part of such functions to any
appropriate state agency, special district, unit of local or county government, commission, authority, or
other public body. However, special attention shall be given to the keeping of accounting and cost
data in order to prepare the annual fiscal report required in subsection (7).
(6)The commission may disburse funds to any district, special district, or other local authority for the
purpose of operating a program for managing aquatic plants in the waters of state responsibility upon:
(a)Approval by the commission of the management techniques to be used by the district or authority;
and
(b)Review and approval of the program of the district or authority by the commission.(7)The commission
shall prepare an annual report on the status of the aquatic plant management program which shall be
posted on the commission's Internet website.
(8)The commission shall have the authority to cooperate with the United States and to enter into such
cooperative agreements or commitments as the commission may determine necessary to carry out the
control or eradication of water hyacinths, alligator weed, and other noxious aquatic plant growths from
the waters of the state and to enter into contracts with the United States obligating the state to
indemnify and save harmless the United States from any and all claims and liability arising out of the
initiation and prosecution of any project undertaken under this section. However, any claim or claims
required to be paid under this section shall be paid from money appropriated to the aquatic plant
management program.
(9)The commission may delegate various aquatic plant management functions to any appropriate
state agency, special district, unit of local or county government, commission, authority, or other public
body. The recipient of such delegation shall, in accepting commitments to engage in aquatic plant
management activities, be subject to the rules of the commission. In addition, the recipient shall render
technical and other assistance to the commission in order to carry out most effectively the purposes of
s. 369.20.
(10)The commission is directed to use biological agents for the management of aquatic plants when
determined to be appropriate by the commission.
(1 1)The commission shall adopt rules pursuant to ss. 120.536(1) and 120.54 to implement the provisions of
this section conferring powers or duties upon it and perform any other acts necessary for the proper
administration, enforcement, or interpretation of this section, including adopting rules and forms
governing reports.
(12)No person or public agency shall control, eradicate, remove, or otherwise alter any aquatic plants
in waters of the state unless a permit for such activity has been issued by the commission, or unless the
activity or waters are expressly exempted by commission rule. The commission shall develop standards
CITY OF SEBASTIAN PAGE 56

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
by rule which shall address, at a minimum, chemical, biological, and mechanical control activities; an
evaluation of the benefits of such activities to the public; specific criteria recognizing the differences
between natural and artificially created waters; and the different amount and quality of littoral
vegetation on various waters. Applications for a permit to engage in aquatic plant management
activities, including applications to engage in management activities on sovereign submerged lands,
shall be made to the commission. In reviewing such applications, the commission shall consider the
criteria set forth in subsection (4) and, in accordance with applicable rules, shall take final agency
action on permit applications for the use of aquatic plant activities on sovereign submerged lands.
(13)The commission has the power to enforce this section in the same manner and to the same extent
as provided in ss. 379.501-379.504.
(14)Activities that are exempt from permitting pursuant to s. 403.813(1) (r) are granted a mixing zone for
turbidity for a distance not to exceed 150 meters downstream in flowing streams or 150 meters in radius
in other water bodies as measured from the cutter head, return flow discharge, or other points of
generation of turbidity.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
IPM Glossary of Terms
Aeration
involves mechanically perforating the soil with small holes
to allow air, water and nutrients to penetrate the grass
roots. This helps the roots grow deeply and produce a
stronger, more vigorous lawn. The main reason for aerating
is to alleviate soil compaction
Beneficial Species
preferred species which naturally feed on, out -compete or
otherwise hinder the growth of pest populations. Ex.
Ladybug, Air potato Beetle)
Best Management
actions based on current science and technology that
Practice (BMP)
have been proven to be effective, with careful
consideration given to protect public health, safety, wildlife
and the environment
Bioaccumulation
gradual accumulation of substances, such as pesticides or
other chemicals, in an organism; substance is absorbed at
a rate faster than that at which the substance is lost by
catabolism and excretion.
Biodiversity
naturally occurring variety of species that coexist in an area
Bio Pesticide
pesticides derived from such natural materials as animals,
plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. For example, canola
oil and baking soda have pesticidal applications and are
considered bio pesticides.
Broadcast Application
general distribution of the pesticide over the entire ground
surface of an area. In comparison to "spot application" in
which the pesticide is applied directly to the pest location
Buffer Zone
predetermined distance surrounding a body of water
where fertilizer and pesticide applications are prohibited
Canal
A man-made waterway/channel created for the collection
and movement of stormwater
Catch Basin
a reservoir or well into which surface water may drain off
into, designed to catch and retain sediments and other
matter, keeping it from flowing through the connected
pipes
Chemical
any substance consisting of matter. This includes any liquid,
solid, or gas. A chemical is any pure substance (an
element) or any mixture (a solution, compound, or gas).
They can either occur naturally or can be created
artificially
Contract
a legal binding written agreement, including but not limited
to a contract, lease, permit, license or easement, between
a person, firm, corporation, or other entity, including
governmental and a City department; which grants a right
to use, lease, or occupy property of the City for a specified
CITY OF SEBASTIAN PAGE 60
PAGE 56 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
purpose or purposes
Contractor person, firm, or corporation or other entity, including
governmental that enters into a contract with the City for

designed to collect, store, and transport stormwater over a
large area
Culvert Underground pipe transporting stormwater between catch
basins, swales, ditches, ponds, and canals
Dam a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level,
forming a reservoir
Detention Area an area where stormwater is temporarily stored, or
detained, and is eventually allowed to drain slowly when
water levels recede in the receiving channel, often are dry
ponds
Ditch an open constructed channel with its top width less than 10
feet at design flow, may serve as detention or retention
Drop Inlets collects stormwater from a parking lot, drain inlets collect
water from roads and parking lots and convey it to an
underground storm drain system
EIQ a formula created to provide pesticide applicators with
data regarding the environmental and health impacts of
their pesticide options so they can make better informed
decisions regarding their pesticide selection
Emergent Vegetation
Endangered Species protected species that is very likely to become extinct in
the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political
jurisdiction. Highest level of conservation status
Exotic Species often referred to as alien, nonnative, nonindigenous, or
introduced species, are those that occur in areas outside of
their natural geographic range
Field Use EIQ Rating rating calculated by multiplying the EIQ value for the
specific chemical obtained in the tables by the percent
active ingredient in the formulation by the rate per acre
used; the rating allows comparisons of environmental
impact between pesticides and different pest
management programs can be made
Fertilizer chemical or natural substance added to soil or land to
increase its fertility
Floating Vegetation have leaves that float on the water surface. Their roots may
be attached in the substrate or floating in the water
column
CITY OF SEBASTIAN PAGE 61
PAGE 57 OF 62
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN
Fungicide substance (pesticide) that is intended to be used for the
prevention, control and/ or eradication of fungal pests
Herbicide
substance (pesticide) that is intended to be used for the
prevention, control and/ or eradication of plant pests
Inlet
device located above the mean high water line that
admits surface waters to the stormwater drainage system
Insecticide
substance (pesticide) that is intended to be used for the
prevention, control and/ or eradication of insect pests
Invasive
Non-native species that causes ecological or economic
harm in a new environment where it is not native
Irrigation
artificial application of water across a land to assist in the
health and durability of plant species
Key Pests
often encountered at an unacceptable population level,
at least once a year. They are unique to each park
classification, based on how the area is used
Leachability
ability of a pesticide to travel downward through the soil
profile due during rain events or irrigation where it can
contribute to groundwater contamination, this trait is a
product of the chemical and soil characteristics
Littoral Zone
extends from the high water mark, which is rarely
inundated, to shallow shoreline areas that are permanently
submerged
Littoral Shelf
the area between the body of water and the banks
surrounding it. When planted, it can create a nice border
around the water and add to both the function and
beauty of the area
Native Species
any species that normally lives and thrives in a particular
ecosystem has developed with the surrounding habitat;
they are easily affected by introduction of exotic species
species and are preferred due to the lack of resources
required to maintain and for the protection of the area's
biodiversity
Nematode
any of a phylum (Nematoda or Nemata) of elongated
cylindrical worms parasitic (harmful) in animals or plants or
free-living in soil or water
Outfall point where collected and concentrated surface and
storm water runoff is discharged from a pipe system or
culvert into a natural body of water
Outlet point at which water discharges from a stormwater pipe or

Retention Area
an area where stormwater is held or retained stormwater
on a permanent basis, often are wet ponds
Protected Species
any species that is protected from harm by activities such
as land development and hunting through government
legislation
Safety Data Sheets
