Scope

BCI was contracted to perform environmental mapping of Brazilian Pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) along the FDOT-maintained right-of-ways along Interstate 75 and Interstate 275 in Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee and Collier Counties, Florida in the Fall of 2006. The mapping was performed using Trimble

sub-meter GPS at 1:6000 (1”= 500’) scale.  The survey  included all right-of-ways, the median, and all rest areas along the five-county corridor. The deliverables included printed maps, an ESRI ArcMap 9.1 project, and digital photographs linked to the GPS positions of Brazilian Pepper infestations.
