Hillsborough County Florida Conservation and Environmental Lands Management Department
We manage more than 61,000 acres of environmentally sensitive wildlife habitat and corridors acquired through the Jan K. Platt Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program (ELAPP).
Management responsibilities include:
Prescribed burning
Invasive species control
Wildlife inventory
Trail maintenance
Feral animal control
Habitat improvements for endangered and threatened species of plants and animals
ELAPP is a voluntary program established for the purpose of providing the process and funding for identifying, acquiring, preserving and protecting endangered, environmentally-sensitive and significant lands in Hillsborough County. It is a citizen-based program with volunteer committees involved in every key aspect of the program. ELAPP is not a regulatory program, but lands are identified for the program because of their environmental significance.
About HCConservation
Hillsborough County FL Conservation and Lands Management
We protect Hillsborough County's natural lands and wildlife through a system of conservation parks and nature preserves, including more than 63,000 acres of environmentally sensitive lands through ELAPP. We also provide unique outdoor recreational activities ranging from picnicking and camping to hiking and kayaking.

Criteria
Definition
Environmental
Impacts from wetlands, protected species or habitats, historical protected areas,
potential contaminated sites/Brownfields
Property/ROW
Access (Public right-of-way, permanent easement) and land use (rural,
residential, commercial, etc.)
Duration
Overall project duration due to work area constraints (overhead power, along or
in roads), easement acquisition, special construction requirements (trenchless),
difficult restoration requirements, permitting requirements (road and railroad),
required coordination (governmental agencies, special interest groups, etc.)
Utility Conflicts
Impacts/risk to existing utilities, relocation requirements, issues with
maintaining required clearances, outage requirements, issues for future
maintenance/repairs
Public Impacts
Impacts to business, residents, and visitors; traffic/accessibility impacts,
complaints (noise, dust, traffic, etc.), public safety, loss of customers, critical
facilities (hospitals, schools, fire stations, airports, etc.)
Functionality/
Reliability
O&M access (under road, congested ROW utility corridor, level of effort for O&M
(number of appurtenances), safety issues for crews performing O&M (traffic
control requirements)
