9-5

As a result of the SFWMD’s experience during the construction of STA ¾,

including the associated bridge construction on US 27, in working with those

utilities located on the west side of US 27, it is not anticipated that substantial

relocations of utilities will be required to construct this project.

agencies, Native American Tribes, Environmental groups, interested public, as

well as persons whom had commented on the draft EIS. Public libraries in the

project will be provided copies to maintain in the reference section of the

libraries. The Revised Draft EIS will also be posted electronically for web

viewing. A public meeting is anticipated to be held in March 2006 to receive

In as much as construction activities on the EAA Storage Reservoir Acceler8

Project are scheduled to begin in December 2005 in accordance with the schedule

for the State of Florida’s Acceler8 program, SFWMD will be responsible for

obtaining permits issued under the authority of Section 404 of the Federal Clean

Water Act. The Acceler8 design, although similar to the PIR, will address

impacts, benefits, and compliance with environmental regulations through the

Section 404 permitting process with the USACE Regulatory Division. SFWMD

will also be responsible for obtaining the Section 401 (Clean Water Act) water

quality certification or waiver of water quality certification, as appropriate, from

the State of Florida. Typically, water quality certification is obtained through

the State of Florida’s regulatory program established under the authority of

Chapter 373, Florida Statutes. Section 402 (National Pollutant Discharge

Elimination System, a.k.a. “NPDES”) permits required under the Clean Water
