Caulkins Water Farm Expansion (NEPPP) includes 2 new water monitoring sites stations which consist of one inflow site: CAUEX-IN; and one outflow site: CAUEX-OUT. The construction, operation and maintenance of this project are mandated by the District, FDEP and BMAP project. The Caulkins Water Farm Expansion was proposed on a 3,275 acre former citrus grove. An above ground impoundment (AGI) was constructed to create a 3,014 acre water storage area on the 3,275 acre project site. The constructed AGI will store a maximum of four (4) feet of water and will consist of five (5) interconnected storage cells (1 existing, 4 constructed) to enhance operational flexibility. Water from the C-44 Canal will be pumped into the AGI using an existing retrofitted pump station that includes three (3) electric pumps with a combined capacity of 105,000 gpm (460 acre-feet/day or 234 cubic feet per second). Caulkins Water Farm Expansion has an established control elevation of 28.0 feet NAVD (29.43 feet NGVD) and the top of levee is 31.0 ft NAVD (32.43 ft NGVD) for the project impoundment. |
