CERP Decomp Physical Model Pre-Construction Wildlife Survey

Field surveys were conducted to determine the presence or absence of state or federally-listed wildlife species, and also to complete a general fish and wildlife inventory and migratory bird survey prior to construction of the Decomp Physical Model. A literature review was also performed prior to the start of field surveys, and included USFWS, FWC, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), and USACE documents regarding the Decomp Physical Model (DPM) and surrounding area; ENP and FWC bird check lists; FWC information on state listed species; Florida Natural Area Inventory (FNAI) lists of protected species; aerial and satellite photographs; and other reports regarding natural resources within or near the project area.
