Attachment_E_-_Lake_Geneva_Restoration_Wetlands_Encroachment_Map.pdf

Attachment E is a wetlands encroachment map associated with the Lake Geneva Restoration Project in Clay County, Florida. The map serves as a supporting exhibit to the Request for Bids for Phase I of the Lake Geneva Restoration Project, which focuses on the removal of trees measuring four (4) inches in diameter or greater from the exposed lakebed. This phase is designed as a standalone effort to clear vegetation and prepare the area for future restoration activities while improving hydrologic conditions and habitat health. The map delineates the specific geographic area and wetlands boundaries subject to tree removal operations, providing visual reference for qualified contractors to understand the scope and location of work required.

The encroachment map functions as a critical planning document for bidders to assess project parameters, environmental constraints, and site-specific conditions. This exhibit enables contractors to evaluate the extent of vegetation removal needed, identify potential environmental or regulatory considerations related to wetlands areas, and develop accurate cost proposals and work schedules. The map is essential for compliance with environmental and regulatory requirements governing wetlands restoration activities in Florida, ensuring that all proposed work remains within designated project boundaries and maintains adherence to applicable environmental protection standards.
