Resource Assessment Sample Clauses

Resource Assessment. A 5-acre parcel was assessed in Charlotte Harbor, Charlotte County (Figure 2). The resource assessment was conducted during low tide. Visibility was approximately seven feet at the site and the bottom was visible from the surface. The substrate consisted of firm sand throughout the parcel (Figure 3). The assessment was conducted on February 1, 2023, by boat, utilizing xxxxxx and snorkeling. Four xxxxxx transects were conducted around the perimeter, along with three center transects (Figure 4). Depths during the assessment ranged from 5 to 7 feet. The closest shoreline is approximately 1,870 feet to the East (Figures 5-7). No seagrass assemblages, oyster reefs or hard bottom were found within the proposed site. Drift algae (Figure 8), Xxxxxxxx and dead sand dollars were found throughout the parcel. A 50-foot buffer around the perimeter was also assessed, which consisted of the same substrate and no other critical habitats were present. The proposed site is located within the Gasparilla Sound-Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserve and smalltooth sawfish Critical Habitat areas (Figure 9). The proposed site is located away from any red mangroves and in waters deeper than 36” in MLLW, so as to avoid any impacts to the essential features of smalltooth sawfish critical habitat. Hurt Parcel - GPS Coordinates and Depth: NW Corner: 26.860668/ -82.064141 7 ft NE Corner: 26.860593/ -82.063705 5 ft SW Corner: 26.856711/ -82.065020 6.5 ft SE Corner: 26.856622/ -82.064567 7 ft Recommendations: After review of the pertinent information, Division staff recommends the proposed site. Comments: The Division seeks to preclude impacts to seagrass beds and other sensitive habitats. Division staff could make an accurate assessment of the proposed site and the adjacent areas. The proposed parcel is not in a major navigation channel. Some boating/kayaking activity is expected for recreational fishing.

Resource Assessment. The types and quantities of resources required to deliver the program is identified, along with an assessment of the resulting cost impact to the project.

Resource Assessment. The objective of resource assessment is twofold (i) to identify the site capability and (ii) to assess the present forest condition. Information of both is required for the determination of potential management objectives. Based on already existing information such as land suitability maps, land-use maps, and aerial photographs, the park can already be preliminarily zoned according to site potential and existing forest cover. The joint verification of the pre-determined classification with the management partner is essential and helps to match site classification and potential management objectives later on. Adequate map overlays will provide sufficient information for the purpose of management planning.21 Forest utilization shall be confined to deadwood only. As such the criteria of sustainable exploitation (i.e. increment versus cut) does not apply here. Furthermore, investment in expensive harvesting technology is not planned. Therefore, there is no reason to justify an expensive forest management inventory. A simple resource assessment based on transects as it is applied in CF would provide sufficient accurate information to regulate deadwood utilisation and firewood collection.
