8 July 2020 Mr. Ian A. Brown, Esq. Law Offices of Ian A. Brown, PL 1015 Lasalle Street, 1st Floor Jacksonville, Florida 32207 RE: East 50th Street Parcel (RE No. 031369-0010) Duval County, Florida Remote Wetland Assessment ERS Job No. 20115 Dear Mr. Brown: Environmental Resource Solutions (ERS), a division of SES Energy Services LLC, performed a remote wetland and wildlife assessment for a 2.78-acre± site located east of U.S. Highway 17, on the northern side of East 50th Street in Section 39, Township 1 South, Range 26 East, Duval County, Jacksonville, Florida (Exhibit 1). The on-site vegetative communities were classified using the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCFCS, 1999). The eastern portion of the site, comprising approximately 0.98-acre, is described as Wetland Forested Mixed (FLUCFCS Code 630). The remaining 1.80-acre± upland area is described as Hardwood-Conifer Mixed (FLUCFCS Code 434), which contains a mixture of hardwood and coniferous species in the vegetative canopy layer. Please note that wetland lines depicted on Exhibit 2 are estimated and are subject to change pending on-site wetland delineation, regulatory agency verification and survey. All wetlands that occur on the parcel appear to be jurisdictional to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). If wetland impacts are proposed, permits from the state and federal agencies will be required. Permitting through the state would be accomplished through either SJRWMD or FDEP, depending on the type of development proposed. This parcel is located within SJRWMD Regulatory Basin 4 (Northern St. Johns River and Northern Coastal). Mitigation bank credits may be available from several sources in this basin, and due to competition, price per credit may vary widely based on how much is needed and when it is required. However, based on recent projects in the area, we estimate that mitigation will cost approximately $70,000-$80,000 per credit. This price is subject to change upon receipt of a formal price quote from a mitigation bank representative. On-site wetlands are considered average quality utilizing the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM; 62-345, F.A.C.) and will require approximately 0.7-0.8 mitigation bank credit per acre of wetland impact. Impacts to all on-site wetlands would require the purchase of approximately 0.79 UMAM credits. This does not include secondary impacts. Additional site planning information will be needed to determine the extent, if any, that secondary impacts would be assessed.

The likelihood of occurrence of listed species was estimated based on habitat suitability and the proximity of documented listed species occurrences. No listed species are documented on or near the site. The closest documented bald eagle (Haliaeeatus leucocephalus) nest is FWC Nest ID #DU009, approximately 1.6 miles north of the site, last documented as active in 2010. Regulations pertaining to bald eagles only apply when a nest is located within 600’ of proposed development. Therefore, regulations related to bald eagles are not expected to affect this site. Upland portions of the site may contain suitable habitat for the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus). The gopher tortoise is listed as a Candidate species for listing by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and as Threatened by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). If any work is proposed in on-site uplands, a complete survey for tortoises should be completed in accordance with FWC regulations. A permit would have to be obtained from FWC to relocate any tortoises that would be impacted by the proposed work. Additional research and/or surveys may be necessary to determine if any other listed species may be impacted by proposed work. See Exhibits 3 and 4 for the locations of all documented listed species occurrences near the parcel. Please contact me if you have any questions or if we can provide further assistance with this site. Sincerely, ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE SOLUTIONS A Division of SES Energy Services LLC
