Phase I Combination Baseline Documentation/Environmental Site Assessment Services Exhibit G

REQUIREMENTS FOR PERFORMING COMBINATION BASELINE DOCUMENTATION/ENVIRONMENTAL SITE

ASSESSMENT REPORTS FOR LESS THAN FEE SIMPLE LAND ACQUISITIONS

For less-than-fee-simple land acquisitions made on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (Board of Trustees), the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will solicit and select contractor(s) to perform a combined Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment and Baseline Documentation Study. The results should be provided in two (2) separate reports by the selected contractor. One report must satisfy the requirements of DEP, Division of State Lands (DSL), and those of the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act as set forth in 42 U.S.C., Section 9601 (CERCLA) regarding environmental assessments (Environmental Site Assessment Report).

The second is to satisfy the DEP DSL requirements regarding documentation of conditions, at the time of acquisition, of properties over which a conservation easement or other less-than-fee-simple real estate interest is acquired (Baseline Documentation Report).

The purposes of two reports are to perform the required services of an environmental assessment as described below, including summarizing recommendations and conclusions, remediation activities where needed, consultation on assessment implications and remediation, and expert witness activities as required. In addition, the reports will identify natural resources on site, land use activities present at the time of the report, threatened or endangered species present, and describe the property adequately to establish baseline conditions from which future monitoring may occur and management recommendations be made.

Scope of Services

The selected contractor shall:

1. Provide certification of the environmental assessment/documentation report to the Board of Trustees and any parties requested by DSL. If the report is not certified to the Board of Trustees and other requested parties, no review of the assessment/documentation report will be performed.

The certification shall state the following: (a) the date the original report was completed and the date of any update that is required; (b) the environmental assessment/document report meets the requirements of DEP, DSL; (c) the accuracy, correctness and completeness of the environmental assessment portion of the report is provided with the knowledge of the CERCLA requirements as set forth in 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, as amended; and (d) the Board of Trustees is entitled to rely on the information set forth in the environmental assessment/documentation report.

2. Determine the potential existence of federal, state, tribal, and local environmental cleanup liens and Activity and Use Limitations (AUL) of enforcement actions against the Property. The Division of State Lands contracts with the Contractor to fulfill these obligations on behalf of the user(s)/DSL.

3. Conduct interviews with the landowner and his/her employees or other pertinent individuals who may have knowledge of the on-site presence of listed species, unique features, and historical or archaeological sites. Obtain any information available on fire history, grazing history and timbering history. Interview prior owners and neighbors as necessary.

4. Determine the past and present uses of the Property.

Contract No. PL522 47 of 62

5. Review current and historical aerial photographs of the Property and surrounding area for an evaluation of prior and current use. Include National Wetland Inventory maps and information from the Water Management District, Florida Department of Transportation of local counties for the purpose of conducting community mapping activities.

6. Interpret the aerial photography and soil maps of the site to prepare an initial natural communities map based on the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) Natural Communities Descriptions. Review surveys and ground- truth to finalize the maps and include ground water characteristics and general topography.

7. Review pertinent, readily available literature and databases (including, but not limited to:

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission publications, CARL or Florida Forever project assessment documents, FNAI, Florida Breeding Bird Atlas) for known on-site species occurrences and to identify listed species that are known to occur in the region.

8. Prepare a list of FNAI listed animals and plants that potentially inhabit the project site based on current or previous sightings.

9.

A map delineating the community types (per FNAI both FLUCCS and FNAI, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission�s Florida Cooperative Land Cover Map data and FNAI) present on the site, along with the estimated acreage of each habitat tract. Habitat acreages will be computed and provided in a table on the map or a separate table included in the report.

Habitat types will be recorded in the report text according to their dominant species by stratum (overstory, midstory, groundcover) and the quality of the habitat. Unique features found, such as springs, caves, sinkholes, artesian wells, rookeries, eagle nests, etc., will be noted and mapped on aerial photographs or referenced to the natural communities map. A description of the general condition and health of waterways, wetlands, and natural communities will be included. The habitat map and description will also include a summary of the type, location and aerial extent of nuisance or exotic plant species. The map should also indicate any agricultural, wetland, upland or other areas specifically referenced in the baseline documentation/environmental site assessment report. (Baseline)

(ESA)

9. Recommendations for further action based on the results of the inspection and estimated costs if further assessment is deemed necessary. (ESA)

10. A table summarizing the FNAI listed wildlife and plant species (common and scientific name) found during the assessment, along with their designated state and federal status. (Baseline)

11. A discussion of the type and location of listed plant and animal species found, including a discussion of the probability of on-site occurrences not observed. (Baseline)

12. Recommendations, if any, regarding appropriate management practices suggested to be employed on the Property consistent with the purposes and conditions of the easement.

Include copies of applicable best management practices in an appendix. These recommendations should be included as an appendix and clearly marked as non-binding unless specifically required by the terms of the easement.
