The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District announces a virtual public Project Delivery Team (PDT) for the CEPP Operational Plan on Friday, April 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The purpose of this Project Delivery Team Meeting is to provide our partners, stakeholders and the public an update on work performed since the last PDT meeting and obtain PDT input prior to Round 2 hydrologic modeling. Topics of discussion include: Development of Round 2 Concepts, WCA-2A Regulation Schedule, Sub Team Updates, Schedule and Next Steps. Read ahead materials will be provided in advance of the meeting.

The purpose of CEPP is to improve the quantity, quality, timing, and distribution of water flows to the northern estuaries, Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3, Everglades National Park (ENP), and Florida Bay while increasing water supply for municipal, industrial, and agricultural users. The purpose of the CEPP Operational Plan is to provide operating criteria for CEPP infrastructure, while integrating operations of related Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) and non-CERP projects that contribute towards achieving the goals, purposes, and benefits of CEPP.
