GUIDELINES FOR ROUTINE Ot1ME MAINTENANCE
3 IlIISODIXIlON
4 Because of the important role which coastal vegetation plays in the preservation
s of boaches and dunes, and because this vegetation is of extremely high ecological
6 value, ►al■ Beach CowntY has made the removel, alteration, destruction or
7 damaging of coastal vegetation illegal without obtaining a permit from the
B County.
! Certain routine dune maintenance activities, such as removing exotic pest plants
10 from the dune, conducting restoration plantings. and creating viewing corridors
11 or 'windows', way require a permit from the County. These guidelines outline
12 the typos of activities which will be considered for approval by the County under
13 a General Permit and provide guidance which should be followed for approval.
14
is Native vegetation preserves beaches and dunes because tM root systems of beach
16 plants retard the erosion of send, wb110 leaves, limbs, stalks, etc., act as sand
17 collectors and provide organic nutrients to build up the dunes and beaches.
1B Depending upon the type of rooting strwctwro and the donsity of foliage, coastal
it vegetation will provide for varying degrees of continued growth of the dunes
20 which fors a buffer area and give protection from storm damage to coastal
21 structures and property. Without the stabilizing and accreting effects of
22 vegetation, the dunes will be eroded by wind and water, and will lose their
23 protective capability. Because the beaches and dunes mood constant protection
24 from human activities, it is important that the coastal vegetation Is not only
26 preserved, but also adequately maintained, and, if necessary, replanted.
26 A profile of plant material In the coastal system typically includes a 'pioneer
27 zone' on the seaward side, a 'scrub zone' landward of the pioneer zone, and a
28 'forest zone' located fwrtMr laland. The pioneer zone is the area closest to
22 the wind and wave action of tM active beach whore grasses such as sea -oats
I WAICA 0anicuLata), vines such AS railroad vine
(lJtf1MM 0as-caoraa), and other
2 low lying plants are doolnant. Any existing vegetation to this tone shonld be
3 carefully preserved. Whom vpetatlon is the pioneer zone has boon damaged by
4 pedestrian or vehicular traffic, or other activities, restoration planting nq should
s be undertaken. Further upland of the pioneer zone the vegetation generally
6 changes to shrubs and other woody plants which form the scrub zone. Widespread
7 cutting, inning, "I ng. etc., of woody plants seaward of the coastal
6 construction line in the scrub zone for the u p ryose of improving visibility of
9 the beach from upland areas constitutes poor coastal zone management and will
10 not be permitted. Where old dunes exist and have become stabilized and protected
11 from salt spray, the forest zone becomes evident. The
ground cover in this
12 zone may consist of a variety of trees. including son -grape
13 understory shrubs, and other scrub zone plants. Mature native plant �o� es
14 In this forest zone should be left intact because of the major role they play
is to protecting inland structures from severe storm winds and flooding.
16 Although coastal vegetation provides the best protection for beaches and dunes.
17 much of the native vegetation of Palo Beach County has already been lost. In
1s addition, In those areas where remnant coastal vegetation exists, exotic post
19 plants, such as Australian pine Mu $
DD•) and Brazilian -pepper (SalnY2
20 terobinthifoltus), have begun to invade the coastal cons.unity. This exotic
21 vegetation reduces habitat for native plants and wildlife, may be aesthetically
22 unappealing, and can increase coastal erosion. Whenever possible, these exotic
23 Plants should be removed from the coastal system.
24 THE PERMITTING PR1w'scc
25 To obtain either a General ►ermit or a Permit for conducting any activities
26 identified in the County's Coastal Protection ordinance as bein

27 prohibited, a person must co

2B at the Department of Environmental Resources Management, 3111 South Dixie
29 Highway, Suite 146, West Palo Beach, Florida. Certain information and
30 documentation (e.g. evidence of any applicable Federal and/or State permit(s)
31 for the Proposed work) may be required to accompany the application from, per
32 the specific terms of the County's dune ordinance; a checklist is available from
33 the Department of Environmental Resources Management which identifies all permit
