PROJECT INFORMATION Project Code Short Description Project Manager (customer) Section Field Project Manager Start Date End Date Full Description C111SC C-111 Spreader Canal Steve Kelly ASB 02-JUL-2015 27-DEC-2018 This project will be implemented via two Project Implementation Reports (Western PIR and Eastern PIR). Project objectives include: - Restore the quantity, timing and distribution of water delivered to Florida Bay via Taylor Slough to levels nearest as possible to the pre-drainage model runs. - Improve hydroperiods and hydropatterns in the Southern Glades and Model Lands. Hydroperiods will be improved to support historical vegetation patterns nearest as possible to the pre-drainage model runs; and hydropatterns will be restored to historical sloughs with associated tributaries. - Return coastal zone salinity levels in western Florida Bay to levels as close as possible to pre-drainage scenario model runs by restoring upstream water levels in eastern Everglades National Park. The Western PIR recommended plan includes a 590-acre Frog Pond detention area and a 225 cfs pump station; creating a mound of groundwater to the south and west, by preventing groundwater seepage to the east and improving water deliveries (quantity, timing and distribution) to Eastern Florida Bay. It also includes a second 225 cfs pump station and modifications to increase the water level in the Aerojet Canal to further prevent groundwater seepage to the east. The Eastern PIR project will replace existing portions of the lower C-111 canal with a spreader canal to enhance sheetflow to Florida Bay, and restoration efforts within the Southern Glades and Model Lands.
