3 INTRODUCTION: Buford Davis and Associates received a contract from Rory Causseaux, PE of Causseaux, Hewett, and Walpole, to provide an Exotic Invasive Plant Management Plan (EIPMP) for the control and eradication of several target species located on the proposed Regional Transit System (RTS) Maintenance Facility Site located off SE Veitch Street and 13 Avenue, Gainesville, Florida. Control of exotic invasive species in wetland areas is required by the City of Gainesville Land Development Code Section Goals and Objectives: The three primary goals and objectives of this EIPMP are: (1) to establish site conditions with regards to exotic invasive plant species, (2) to provide guidance for the control and eradication of target species found on site, while limiting impact and degradation of local site resources such as soils, watershed and existing desirable vegetation, and (3) to establish a protocol for continued management against future infestations of these and other exotic invasive plant species. Site Conditions: On April 17, 2012, and again on April 25, 2012, pedestrian surveys were conducted for the RTS Maintenance Facility. The site is approximately 30 acres, irregular in shape, located at the end of SE 13 th Avenue, Gainesville, Florida. The southern end of the property was once the site of the City landfill. Utility easements, both water, and power crisscross the site. The confluence of an unnamed tributary of Sweetwater Branch (creek) joins at the southeast edge of the property. Adjacent developed properties north and west are industrial. The City s sewage treatment facility is south of the site. Properties to the east are zoned residential, and a significant portion of the locally known homeless encampment, Tent City comprises the southeast corner. Proposed improvements consist of an administrative and operations building, a 64,000 square foot bus maintenance garage, bus fueling and washing stations, associated parking and storm water facility. Vegetative open space buffers make up over 20% of the site and run along both sides of the Creeks, and include the southeast corner of the property which appears to be wetland. It is within this buffer area that we have focused our EIPMP strategy. The site appears to have a history of disturbance. The creek is extremely eroded feet below the surrounding watershed. In some areas gabion baskets line the banks to prevent further erosion. Several species listed in the Management Plan were likely planted or have served the purpose of erosion control, and once removed, the site will require additional erosion control measures. Additionally, numerous people and their pets live in tents in the proposed buffer areas of the site. Wellworn pedestrian trails and well maintained utility easements make traversing the property relatively easy, despite heaps of household garbage and homeless encampments NW 43 rd Street l Gainesville, Florida l tel l fax 3
4 The site can be roughly divided into 3 vegetative ecotypes; one where the upper shade canopy has been maintained, one where the shade trees have been removed, the third being riparian and associated with the creek. In shady areas the upper canopy consists predominantly of Live Oak, and Laurel Oak. The understory vegetation includes Camphor tree, and Ligustrum, as well as more desirable species such as Cabbage palm, and Sweetgum. The ground plain in the least disturbed areas include saw palmetto, in the more disturbed areas includes Ardisia, Honeysuckle, and Poke Weed. In areas where the shade canopy has been removed, colonies of Guinea grass, Paper Mulberry and Rattlepod, have taken over. In Riparian areas, ancient Cypress, Hickory, and Oak entwine with the second generation Camphor and Cherry Laurel, Sweetgum. The ground plain in some areas has been completely dominated by exotic invasive, such as Mexican Petunia Coral Ardisia, and Air potato NW 43 rd Street l Gainesville, Florida l tel l fax 4
5 Target Species, Location and Densities; The following list of nineteen (19) exotic invasive species were found on site.

County Alachua County Discouraged Plant List METHODOLOGY General: The best defense against exotic invasive pest plant infestation is vigilant surveillance of the site and surroundings, and addressing problem plants prior to their spread. The recommended method of control for these nuisance species is based on the species, size, density, season, and surroundings NW 43 rd Street l Gainesville, Florida l tel l fax 5
6 In buffer areas and in undisturbed area adjacent to desirable vegetation, manual removal of invasive species is preferred. When manually removing invasive pest plants, it is important that the entire plant be removed including the root system. This is most easily done when the soil moisture content is high to help prevent root breakage and re-sprouting. At this site, many nuisance species will be removed mechanically during site development. Killing invasive pest plants prior to seed or fruit maturity will help prevent the formation of viable seed and subsequent redistribution. If viable seed is present during site demolition, or pest plant treatments, this material must be collected and burned in a managed burn pile or bagged and disposed in a landfill. Exotic invasive plant propagules such as roots, tubers, corms or rhizomes, bulbils, ripe seed, fruit, or certain herbaceous segmented stems shall NOT be considered yard waste or compost. At this site several targeted species will require chemical herbicide treatment to control. Herbicide application techniques which will result in minimal impact to adjacent resources include the following: Foliar Applications: Use a low-pressure spray backpack or hand sprayer with a large droplet size to minimize spray drift. A marker dye should be added to the solution to track work. Apply herbicide to leaves until the point of runoff. Unless otherwise noted, the most successful time of the year to control targeted deciduous species with a foliar spray is late summer through early fall, several weeks prior to first frost. Evergreen weedy species can be controlled in early spring or late fall while many deciduous plants are still dormant. Basal Bark Application: Apply herbicide directly to young bark at the base of the stem until the point of runoff. Use a low-pressure backpack sprayer or hand sprayer with a large droplet size to minimize spray drift. A marker dye should be added to the solution to track work. This treatment can be successfully applied during the dormant season when leaves do not hinder application. All basal bark applications are in an oil-soluble formulation and should not be sprayed when temperatures are above 80 degrees due to volatilized drift of herbicide. At this site, basal bark treatment of exotic invasive trees over 3 in diameter is not recommended. Trees 3 in diameter and over shall be not be left standing due to the presence of homeless encampments. Stump Cut Treatment: Immediate treatment of felled tree & vines stumps with a concentrated formulation of herbicide. The cut stump must be level and herbicide may be painted or sprayed on to the surface of the cut. The most successful time of the year for the stump cut treatment is summer, although winter applications can be applied more efficiently without the interference of foliage. Do not attempt stump cut treatment method in the spring when new growth is appearing and sap is rising. After initial treatment cycles, monitoring of site shall begin and continue for 2 years or until the targeted species are successfully controlled. Monitoring should consist of a thorough pedestrian survey of the site, and the scheduling and/or implementation of appropriate control measures. Monitoring guidelines and success criteria are discussed in later paragraphs. Staffing Requirements: Staff supervisor shall hold a State Certified Commercial Pesticides Applicator License in Natural Areas Weed Management pursuant to Chapter 487 Florida Statues. He or she should be familiar with all chemical applications and treatment methods specified and on site during all handling of herbicides. Furthermore, all chemical treatment of targeted species must be in accordance with the manufacturer s labeling instructions. Pesticide users are required 2406 NW 43 rd Street l Gainesville, Florida l tel l fax 6
7 by law to comply with all instruction and directions for use contained in the pesticide label, including mixing, loading, personnel protection equipment and cleanup. Additionally, all on site personnel implementing this EIPMP should be able to identify the exotic invasive species targeted, as well as be able to distinguish between targeted species and similar looking native species. Finally, annual Monitoring Reports shall be prepared by personnel experienced in the field of Natural Areas Weed Management, Botany, Biology, Landscape Architecture or a similar profession.
