DURBIN CROSSING
POND PRESS
Happy July Durbin Crossing! If there is one thing that can be said for Florida, it’s that we have
WEATHER. Lots of it and with a capital ‘W’, and when it comes to the health of our lakes, this is
often a case of mixed blessings. Precipitation plays a multi-role part in the maintenance of our
ponds and can have both positive and negative effects on a pond’s state. Low water levels in a
pond can lead to unsightly exposed bank along the perimeter- a situation that was pervasive dur-
ing last year’s drought. This can lead to erosion along the shoreline if water levels remain low for
an extended period of time. As pond levels drop, this can also concentrate pollutants and raise wa-
ter temperatures in the ponds, leading to any number of pond crises. Fortunately, it appears that
Northeast Florida has returned to our regular programming of afternoon thunderstorms and some-
what steady rainfall. This rainfall can actually help lower the temperature of the ponds… unless
they receive large amounts of storm water from the streets, otherwise the water is heated up as it
flows over the pavement and can then raise pond temperatures and spur algae growth in the
ponds.
Occasionally we see fish kills in ponds after rainfall. While the cause can be difficult to deter-
mine, there are some things we can usually rule-out. Florida water tends to be very hard, with a
high mineral content due to the limestone bedrock that makes up most of the state. While awful
for your hair and skin, this hard water is very good at buffering acidic rain- so fish kills we see
are usually not a product of this occurrence. Occasionally we see high turbidity causing fish kills
when particles of sand and silt washed in during a rain event, clog the gills of fish and cause suf-
focation- but this usually only occurs on ponds where construction is being done nearby. In ponds
with pre-existing oxygen problems, too much water at once can cause the pond to mix and may
also lead to fish kills when anoxic water from the bottom is pushed up towards the surface. Occa-
sionally oils, pesticides, and other substances are washed into ponds that contain chemicals that
are toxic to juvenile fish- for this reason it is always best to follow label rates on containers,
properly dispose of chemicals, and avoid treating lawns if rain is expected in the near future. As
always, it is best to be on the lookout and let your management company know if you notice any-
thing abnormal in your pond, rain or shine; [email protected], 904-230-2011.

A note from your HOA:
Where can I find my HOA documents? This is a common question when a homeowner wants to familiarize themselves with
the community covenants and restrictions, review architectural control guidelines, or
look over Board of Directors minutes from past meetings. The answer is as easy as a
simple click of the HOA tab on the Durbin Crossing Living community website at
http://durbincrossingliving.com. That simple click of the HOA tab will take you to a
public venue where the majority of documents related to HOA business affairs can be
found.
The HOA site also offers a password protected venue that is specific to individual
homeowners and associated account information. If you don’t have a password, just
click the “Request Login” link, complete the application and after the verification of
association membership, you will receive a login and password. If you have any prob-
lems getting a login or you can’t locate the documents your looking for, please feel
free to contact your HOA Property Management team, (FPM) Floridian Property
Management (FPM) at (904) 592-4090.

ALLIGATOR SAFETY & INFORMATION:
During spring when temperatures rise, alligators become more active. Although
alligator incidents are rare, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
(FWC) recommends taking precautions when having fun in and around the water.
Alligators inhabit all 67 counties in Florida and can be found anywhere there is
standing water. Reduce the chances of conflicts with alligators by swimming only in
designated swimming areas. Also keep pets on a leash and away from the water.
Because alligators control their body temperature by basking in the sun, they may be
easily observed. However, the FWC urges people to keep their distance if they see
one. Also, NEVER feed alligators as it is dangerous and illegal.
The FWC places the highest priority on public safety and administers a Statewide Nuisance Alligator
Program to address complaints concerning specific alligators. People with concerns about an alligator
should call the FWC’s toll-free Nuisance Alligator Hotline at 866-FWC-GATOR (392-4286). SNAP
uses contracted nuisance alligator trappers throughout the state to remove alligators 4 feet in length or
greater that are believed to pose a threat to people, pets or property. The FWC also works diligently to
keep Floridians and visitors informed, including providing advice about Living with Alligators. Please
note, there isn’t an alligator relocation program, the gators will be put down.
Learn more about alligators at: MyFWC.com/Alligator. STAY INFORMED AND SAFE!
NORTH FACILITY STAFFING:
We are excited to announce that you will be greet-

DURBIN CROSSING LITTER:
This is our last favor to ask and then we will re-
turn to our events and recreation portion of the
newsletter. However, this is an important matter
that we need your help with also.
Litter doesn’t just look bad, it is also damaging
to our sewers, lakes and a danger to wildlife.
Please help care for
our community by
disposing of trash
properly. We
TRULY appreciate
your cooperation!

Florida is the lightning capital of the United States and it is ranked as the
number one state for deaths due to lightning.
Did you know that lightning kills more people in the U.S.
than hurricanes and tornadoes combined?
Lightning travels at the speed of light, while thunder travels at the speed of sound.
A single bolt of lightning can discharge about 100 million bolts of electricity and can
travel as far as 10 miles from a cloud. It does not need to be dark directly overhead.
If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance!
It has been known to travel through clear air and strike 10 miles from the
storm like a bolt out of the blue!
Lightning is actually 5 times hotter than the sun’s surface!
With all of this knowledge and critical information we’d like to remind you of
Durbin Crossing’s thunderstorm policy. If we hear thunder or see lightning, we will clear,
close and secure the facility for 30 minutes. Every time thunder is heard or lightning is
seen, the clock is restarted to 30 minutes. This is strictly enforced for your safety!
No life is worth the risk!
*Stay tuned to our Twitter feed for up to the minute pool closures and information;
