This item concerns construction activities where evidence of protected plant or animal species might be discovered. If found during construction, Pasco County and other agencies must be notified within two working days. Work in the affected area must stop until permits are secured and written authorization is given by agencies, or if state and federal guidelines are met. This is a planned item under review by the Planning Commission. The project scope involves site work and construction where environmental monitoring and permitting will be critical. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers involved in site preparation, environmental consulting, and construction trades should monitor this item. Early engagement could be beneficial as plans and permits are developed.
