  • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issues scoping letter for Duval County Shore Protection Project

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 8, 2025) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District (Corps) and U.S. Department of Interior (DOI), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) are preparing a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) document to evaluate an alternate offshore sand source for renourishments of the Duval County Shore Protection Project (SPP) in Duval County, Florida.  The Corps is currently seeking public comment as they gather information to define issues and concerns that will be addressed in an analysis to be prepared in compliance with the NEPA.   
  • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issues proposed design refinements for Central Everglades Planning Project North Phase

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 2, 2025) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Jacksonville District pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) issues the Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Supplemental Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Proposed Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for construction of proposed design refinements for the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) North Phase. The specific features of the CEPP Recommended Plan to be implemented in the CEPP North Phase focus on hydropattern restoration in northern Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3A and the backfilling of the Miami Canal that were identified in the 2014 CEPP Final Project Implementation Report and Environmental Impact Statement (PIR/EIS). Construction of the CEPP North Phase will prepare the Everglades system for additional treated water inflows from Lake Okeechobee by providing the conveyance improvements and landscape connectivity necessary to redistribute additional flows to northern WCA 3A. Preliminary hydraulic modeling has found that modifications to CEPP North features are necessary in order to meet the project objectives identified in the 2014 CEPP Final PIR/EIS, including effective and uniformly distributed flow into WCA 3A. The CEPP North SEA and Proposed FONSI address construction of proposed design refinements to the L-4 Levee degrade, a feature of the Recommended Plan in the 2014 CEPP Final PIR/EIS and Chief's Report.
