C06.1 Introduction
The strategic object of this plan is to create a resilient landscape through revegetation with native plant material to optimize co-benefits, including water quality.
This plan focuses on revegetating Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) with native plant materials that will result in optimized stormwater treatment, continued regulatory compliance, decreased maintenance costs and increased wellness and walkability.
- Apply the Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan (INRMP) land management strategies consistently across all developed portions of the base
- Enforce a restricted planting pallet that complies with INRMP and continues to drive out invasive species
- Plant tree species and revegetate with plant materials that are resilient to high winds and will not interfere with buried infrastructure
- Revegetate all land areas south of Mississippi Road, which is a critical zone for mitigating a storm event that includes both heavy rainfall and high surge
- Improve stormwater management and treatment and recover more quickly after storm events
The governing authority of Tyndall AFB’s INRMP is the Sikes Act.
Coordination of design and construction with Tyndall AFB staff, agencies, service providers and third-party contractors is critical to the successful implementation of planned improvements. All work is required to be warrantied regarding location and installation of materials in a manner consistent with the intent of the Landscape Master Plan and IFS, and to not create a conflict for installation of adjacent improvements by others. All potential conflicts will be identified by designers/contractors in respective sections of the Compliance Checklist and reviewed by Tyndall AFB Staff.
