Section 8 Plan Implementation

EAA Storage Reservoirs Revised Draft PIR and EIS February 2006

8-14

Everglades Protection Area downstream including Water Conservation Areas 2

and 3 and Everglades National Park.

The goals for this Project are a synthesis of federal, state and local objectives

from the Restudy (Central & Southern Florida Project Comprehensive Review

Study, 1999) and regional objectives outlined by the Governor’s Commission for

a Sustainable Florida. The success of this plan is dependent upon its many

contributors. The Corps and the SFWMD played key leadership roles. However,

without the skilled and persistent support of important contributors from the

Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation

Commission and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, this plan would not be the

example of environmental restoration that it surely is.

The EAA Storage Reservoir Project – Phase I is one of the initial 10 projects

authorized for implementation in Section 601(b) (2) (C) of WRDA 2000.

According to the CERP Master Implementation Sequencing Plan, the project is

“Band 1” and is scheduled to be completed and operational by October 2010. In

an effort to ensure achievement of this schedule, the SFWMD plans to move

forward with detailed design and construction of Compartment A1 of the EAA

Storage Reservoir under the State of Florida’s Acceler8 Program. It is

anticipated that some refinements in design and estimated cost will result from

value engineering and other efforts to ensure cost-effectiveness of the final plans

and specifications. SFWMD fully intends to collaborate with the U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers throughout the detailed design and engineering efforts.

The SFWMD is proud to be a partner with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on

the EAA Storage Reservoir and is supportive of this vital and exciting project.
