Intent To Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Florida Bay/Florida Keys Integrated Feasibility Study

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Jacksonville District, intends to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for Florida Bay/Florida Keys Integrated Feasibility Study. The study is a cooperative effort between the Corps and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), which is a cooperating agency for this DEIS. One of the recommendations of the final report of the Central & South Florida (C&SF) Comprehensive Review Study (Restudy) was the implementation of the Florida Bay/Florida Keys Integrated Feasibility Study. This study is intended to develop a comprehensive watershed plan, which identifies structural and/or operational modifications upstream of Florida Bay and to improve water quality in Florida Bay and Florida Keys. This study is a component of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), a multi-year effort to restore the greater Everglades ecosystem while providing water supply and other water-related benefits to South Florida over many decades.
