Rationale for the Requested Change: o End of the current SCP1 is already 400 meters east of the Progress Energy Power Lines and the termination point curves northeast o Movement of this segment of the proposed SCP2 an additional 400 meters east does not impact any private property owners since the land is state owned o Potential cost savings by continuing from the current SCP1 termination point north through the State Forest to the Cardinal Street junction o Provides a natural buffer of native habitat and trees for noise and visual abatement o Eliminates the need for additional state land and the cost to construct a wall and / or large berm to provide the needed noise and visual abatement

Rationale for the Requested Change: o The current path of the proposed SCP2 is only about one mile from the majority of the Sugarmill Woods potable water well fields which provide water to 10,000 + residents of Sugarmill Woods and Chassahowitzka in southwest Citrus County o Moving SCP2 east as requested adds 800 meters to the Time to Travel Zone before water reaches the SMW wellhead protection area

Rationale for the Requested Change: o Design of Sugarmill Woods reflects an awareness of environmental and ecological concerns o SMW is bordered on three sides by state conservation lands o Within SMW, the Greenbelt provides several thousand acres for wildlife habitat o Providing an 800 meter buffer zone east of the Progress Energy Power Lines provides opportunity for DRAs on both sides of the proposed SCP Expansion and is beneficial for wildlife and the environment
