Excerpt from Proposed Sensitive Resource Areas, Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida: Prepared in Reference to Mineral Development, April 1983
One guideline may contain a greater emphasis on environmental protection than another. For example, the enabling legislation for the preserve has a strongly worded intent to ensure preservation of the area's significant natural values. Conversely, state statutes and regulations for energy resource development are primarily directed toward the permitting of oil and gas drilling, but do include an expression of intent to protect certain features, such as fish, wildlife and wetlands. Despite apparent differences in emphasis on environmental protection that exist in the guidelines used in formulating these criteria, all are similar in that they contain some concern for environmental factors.
The guidelines were reviewed to identify any stated purpose or intent relating to or showing a concern for environmental protection. The objective of the guidelines is to develop a set of valid and accurate criteria that are consistent with the purpose and intent of applicable legislation, regulations and management policies.
Using direction provided in the guidelines, the following criteria were formulated to identify an sra area.
