Our report of findings is enclosed herein. Should you have any questions, please call either Greg Thomas or me . Sincerely yours, Rhodes Robinson President RR/ssr 87-487.ar Enclosures : ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROPERTY OF ATLANTIC BOULEVARD AND BEGONIA STREET A. INTRODUCTION On 17 November 1987, Environmental Services, Inc. , conducted an on-site environmental study of the property at the intersection of Atlantic Boulevard and Begonia Street in Atlantic Beach, Florida. our study was conducted to determine the developability of -the site regarding environmental issues . Specifically, our efforts were to determine the type, nature, and extent of jurisdictional wetlands pursuant to the rules and regulations of the following agencies : Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) . (Chapter 17-4.022 FAC) . St . Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) . (Section 40C-4 FAC and 40C-42 FAC) . U.S . Army Corps of Engineers (CE) . (33 Code of Federal Regulations 320 and 330) . Environmental Services has on file complete copies of appropriate regulations and will make them available for your perusal should you desire to see them. B. SITE DESCRIPTION The site is located in southwest Atlantic Beach at the northwest corner of the intersection of Atlantic Boulevard and Begonia Street (Figure 1 ) . It is approximately 8. 5+ acres in size and is bounded on the north by Kestner Creek and on the west and south by the salt marsh through which Kestner Creek flows . 1 . Topography. The U.S. Geological Survey (Jacksonville Beach, 1981 ) identifies this site as having topography ranging from 0 to +10 (NGVD) . No site-specific topographic information was available when our preliminary assessment was conducted.

Soils . The Soil Survey of Duval County (U .S . Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, 1978) identifies two types of soil occupying the site (Figure 2) . These are: a . Leon fine sand (16) . This is a nearly level soil found in broad flatwood areas . Under natural conditions Leon fine sand has a water table at a depth of less than 10 inches for 2 to 4 months and at a depth of 10 to 30 inches for 2 to 8 months during most years . Natural fertility is low, and organic matter content is medium. This soil has medium potential for dwellings without basements and local roads and streets . Excessive wetness limits this soil for these uses . As can be seen in Figure 2, Leon fine sand occupies most of this site. b. Tisonia mucky peat (34) (HSA) . This is a level to nearly level soil on broad tidal marshes. Tisonia mucky peat has been identified as a Hydrologically Sensitive ,,. Area. This soil normally has a water table at a depth of less than 10 inches, or it is covered by water for 6 to 12 months during most years . Tidal action inundates this Tisonia mucky peat soil twice daily. Natural fertility is low and organic matter content is very high. This soil has very low potential for dwellings without basements, local roads and streets, and septic tank absorption fields . The major limitations are twice-daily flooding by tidal action, and wetness . Development of areas occupied by this soil is undesirable from an ecological viewpoint since it occupies areas used as breeding and feeding grounds for a wide variety of marine life. 3. Hydrology. The site contains three hydrological features which ultimately flow into Kestner Creek (Figure 3) . An excavated channel bounds and drains the southwest property corner. This channel flows north into a salt marsh. A long mosquito ditch originating in the southeast corner of the property flows into the south end of the channel and, according to the USGS survey, the north end of the ditch empties into a relatively large tidal inlet. The tidal inlet forms the north property boundary and flows into Kestner Creek. 4. Vegetation. This site contains two vegetative communities which are shown in Figure 3 and described below: a. Mesic hammock. The majority of the site consists of mesic hammock with water oak (Quercus nigra) as the predominant canopy species. Other canopy trees are slash pine (Pinus elliottii) , and cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto) . The subcanopy consists of wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera) , N Q Ag •� ., �.� !-�`�� '', !; ; i .. r T y` ._�'���! � ---- � _ �,� ;1 ,��,�i?�s�, ���vAO��� s�'i>t7'!4^� �,' f �C, L .

The groundcover is predominated by abundant standing saw palmetto. Other groundcover species include sand cordgrass (apartina bakeri) , gallberry ( Ilex galbra) , bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum ) , sea myrtle (Baccharis halimifolia) , cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea) , royal fern (Osmunda regalis) , grapevine (Vitis rotundifolia) , and fetterbush (Leonia lucida) . b. Oak hammock. This oak forest occupies approximately the eastern half of the property. The canopy consists of water oak, live oak (Quercus virginiana) , slash pine, red maple, and wax myrtle. The ground cover is dominated by saw palmetto. Additional ground cover plants are winged sumac, gallberry, sea myrtle, sand cordgrass, bracken fern, and fetterbush. C . DEVELOPMENT IMPLICATIONS 1 . Soils . The Leon fine sand soil which occupies all but the northwest corner of the site, has moderate development potential . As explained above, this soil has only limited suitability for, construction due to excessive wetness and a high water table for 2 to 4 months of the year. Imp The Tisonia mucky peat soil in the northwest corner is unsuitable for development. This soil is classified as a Hydrologically Sensitive Area and is subject to tidal r inundation twice daily. 2. Hydrology . The excavated channel and the ditch ,. drain into the salt marsh adjacent to the property and they could be useful in discharge of treated stormwater if development of the site was planned. The tidal inlet and salt marsh forming the north and west property boundaires, respectively, represent breeding and feeding habitat for a variety of marine life. If construction were planned in the mesic hammock, it would be desirable to avoid encroachment on the north and west edges of this forest in order to preserve a buffer strip to protect the .fragile marine habitat. in the inlet and salt marsh. 3 . Vegetation. Because of the mesic hammock and adjacent tidal salt marsh, the three regulatory agencies (DER, CE, and SJRWMD) may be involved in jurisdiction of the property at Atlantic Boulevard and Begonia Street. Please be aware that the three agencies have slightly different jurisdictions, and the implications of the presence of wetlands varies among them. a. Florida Department of Environmental Regulation . DER will have jurisdiction on all wetlands connecting directly to "waters of the State" which in this case is Kestner Creek and the salt marsh through which Kestner Creek flows. Approximately two-thirds of the section of the property southwest of the intersection of the electric authority easement and Begonia Street may be considered jurisdictional by DER due to the presence of vegetation such as swamp bay, sand cordgrass, and royal fern. The perimeter of the property bordering the salt marsh will be claimed by DER. The mosquito ditch will also be claimed by DER, although filling the upland cut portions of such ditches is permissable by DER. b. U.S . Army Corps of Engineers . CE will exert jurisdiction over all wetland areas on-site. This will include all of the wetlands jurisdictional by DER as well as the areas identified on Figure 3. These areas will be considered to be adjacent wetlands and are subject to strict permitting review. C. St. Johns River Water Management District. 7 Because your site does not appear to exceed any thresholds requiring a Management and Storage of Surface Waters (MSSW) permit by SJRWMD, the wetlands present will not be reviewed by SJRWMD. However-, any development would require filing a stormwater discharge permit pursuant to 40C-42 FAC . This permit requires the retention of the first half-inch of stormwater runoff to filter out pollutants prior to discharge. D. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS From an environmental perspective, the property can be described primarily as a coastal hammock with low potential for urban use. Seasonal fluctuations which bring the water table close to the surface of the soil for various periods may tend to limit the value of the property in terms of development. The oak forest occupying the eastern half of the property appears to be upland in nature and possibly suitable for some urban development applications. The area including the mesic hammock will be jurisdictional by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers definition because of understory ground cover species. ------------ M'" This is an opinion report by Environmental Services, Inc.
