Although revisions to enhance clarification and consistency will be undertaken throughout the rule and on required forms, specific examples of subjects to be addressed include application of the method to wetland and upland assessment areas where preservation as mitigation is proposed, providing a revised method for ensuring that equal weighting and evaluation is used when calculating the preservation adjustment factor, and clarifying application of the method for assessment areas that have been artificially created or significantly altered from the historic or natural condition. Guidance will also be provided to elucidate time-lag and risk factor determination and to assist in the designation and classification of Florida’s native community types. In addition, clarification and guidance will be provided in application of the method to quantitative assessment of Location and Landscape Support values, assessment of wetland functions as provided by surrounding upland communities, and in the evaluation of contributions of the assessment area to receiving waterbodies and wetlands. Application of the method to benthic communities will also be clarified to provide specific guidance and criteria for assessment of seagrass, hardbottom, and other submerged communities. Furthermore, Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method forms will be improved to better track steps and processes outlined by rule language and to facilitate long-term tracking of wetland functional losses and gains.
