JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District remains fully committed to supporting the American people, the economy and national security during the lapse in appropriations.
Our District employees continue mission-essential operations through water management and coastal resilience, restoring and protecting ecosystems, maintaining federal navigation channels, emergency preparedness and response, and supporting national security and readiness.
However, some administrative functions, recreation services, and outreach activities may be limited until normal funding resumes.
The Integrated Delivery Schedule (IDS) presentations and listening sessions scheduled for Tuesday, October 07, 2025 at 3 p.m. and Tuesday, October 14, 2025 at 3 p.m. will be rescheduled for a later date.
The purpose of these meetings is to provide partners, stakeholders and the public with an opportunity to learn more about the Integrated Delivery Schedule or ‘IDS’ and to host a listening session.
The IDS reflects the sequencing strategy for planning, design, and construction for the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Program. This is a living document that synchs up federal and state program and project priorities to give us a clear path forward.
The IDS is a forward-looking snapshot of upcoming design and construction schedules and programmatic costs at a “top” line level for the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Program. It includes Modified Water Deliveries to Everglades National Park, critical projects, Kissimmee River Restoration, non-Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) Central and Southern Flood (C&SF), and CERP projects. CERP focuses on the “getting the water right.” CERP—the largest aquatic ecosystem restoration effort in the nation, spanning more than 18,000 square miles — is designed to improve the health of more than 2.4 million acres.
The IDS synchronizes program and project priorities with the State of Florida and achieves the CERP restoration objectives at the earliest practicable time, consistent with annual funding updates and the interdependencies between project components.
