Info

Summer, 2000 – prior to construction, monitor wells installed within wetlands have water levels consistently 4-5 feet below grade. No water stains on the well casings indicate the lack of adequate & appropriate hydroperiods. Summer, 2009 – as evident by the water stains on the well casing, restored hydrology has resulted in appropriate surface water hydroperiods within the wetlands during the rainy season.

Y- Old Tampa Bay * The total wetland impacts of this SR 60 project include 16.6 acres. The Tappan Tract (SW 62) provides mitigation for the ditch, pond, and mangrove impacts of this roadway project (5.1 acres). The Cockroach Bay – Saltwater (SW 77) and Apollo Beach (SW 67) projects provide mitigation for the associated saltwater marsh impacts (10.9 acres). ** Boyd Hill Nature Park (SW 71) provides mitigation for the forested wetland impacts associated with these two roadway projects. MITIGATION ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION Mitigation Type: Creation and restoration Mitigation Area: 33 acres SWIM project? Y Aquatic Plant Control project? N Exotic Plant Control Project? N Mitigation Bank? N Drainage Basin: Tampa Bay Drainage Water Body(s):Tampa Bay, Cockroach Bay SWIM water body? Y Project Description A. Overall project goals: Cockroach Bay includes a multi-agency (USACOE, SWFWMD, FDEP, Hillsborough County Conservation Section) effort of habitat creation and restoration on property acquired by Hillsborough County (total 651 acres, Figure A). Through the SWIM Section, the SWFWMD primarily assisted the County with managing the design, construction and creation of the wetland habitats. Hillsborough County conducts the perpetual maintenance and management of the public lands at Cockroach Bay. This designated mitigation area includes freshwater marsh habitat creation (26 acres) that is buffered by the restoration of coastal hammock habitat buffer (7 acres). B. Brief description of pre-construction conditions: The project site was historically converted from flatwood habitat to row crops. After public acquisition, agricultural activities discontinued and the area was allowed to go fallow; resulting in a dominance of nuisance and exotic species such as Brazilian pepper, elderberry, ragweed, fennel, and various nuisance grass species (Figure B, site photographs). 129
