Management
Plans for Properties 160 Acres and Smaller
The Office Of
Environmental Services has received the following land management
plans for properties 160 acres and smaller in size. Acquisition and
Restoration Council (ARC) members who wish to have any of these
plans placed on a formal ARC agenda for discussion should contact
Hank Vinson,
ARC Staff Director, prior to the date indicated below. Please note
that at least three ARC members must make the request for a plan for
a property smaller than 160 acres in size to be scheduled for an ARC
agenda. If we do not receive three requests by the stated deadline
to schedule a plan for consideration at an ARC meeting, the plan
will be approved.
Minor
Amendments to Management Plans
Management Plan Amendment for
the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve
management plan (Lease #3462 - 3,360 acres)
The Office of Coastal and
Aquatic Managed Areas (CAMA) has submitted a proposed amendment to
the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve (GTM
Research Reserve) management plan. CAMA proposes to begin habitat
restoration and construct trails and elevated wildlife observation
platforms at the Marsh View Preserve addition to the GTM Research
Reserve. Minimal ground disturbance is expected and would involve
placing pilings in the ground to support the four elevated platforms
proposed (three marsh viewing platforms and one observation tower)
as well as digging several small holes to accommodate trail markers.
The Division of Historical
Resources (DHR) has reviewed the proposal and has indicated that
there is a high potential to encounter prehistoric archeological
sites in the project area. CAMA will follow all steps recommended by
DHR. The Florida Natural Areas Inventory has reviewed the project
and concluded there would be no resource conflicts with the
construction of the viewing platforms and observation tower.
GTM Research Reserve Amendment
The plan amendment will be approved
by the Division of State
Lands unless three ARC members request that it be placed on a agenda
for consideration at a future Council meeting. The deadline for
requesting that it be considered by ARC is Wednesday, May 15, 2013.
If you have any questions or need further information, please
contact Penny Isom
in the Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas.
