Section 8 Plan Implementation

EAA Storage Reservoirs Revised Draft PIR and EIS February 2006

8-1

8.0 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

The conditionally authorized Phase 1 EAA Project has been reevaluated. It has

been determined that to optimize the design, it is no longer necessary to phase

this Project. The three reasons for initially phasing this Project were because it

was believed that:

1. Only a portion of that lands needed for the entire project had been

acquired by the DOI and SFWMD,

2. There was an opportunity to construct a portion of this Project in a

manner that is mutually beneficial for the Comprehensive Plan and the

sponsor’s Everglades Construction Project,

3. The expedited construction of portions of this Project would provide

multiple environmental, water supply, and flood protection benefits.

Because it has been determined that all benefits anticipated for this Project can

be achieved with lands already acquired, there is no longer any need to phase

the implementation.

8.1 DIVISION OF IMPLEMENTATION RESPONSIBILITIES

Responsibilities for implementing the Selected Alternative Plan (Selected Plan)

will be shared by USACE, on behalf of the Federal government, and the non-

Federal sponsor, SFWMD. USACE and SFWMD will cost share equally in the

design of the projects resulting from this plan. SFWMD has acquired the

necessary lands, easements, rights-of-way, relocation, and disposal areas

(collectively referred to as LERRD) and will operate and maintain the completed

Project. Construction contracts to build the projects will be managed by either

USACE or SFWMD to maintain a 50/50 cost. Rules, which determine how

project responsibilities are shared, are established in federal law and related

implementing policies. Section 601 of WRDA 2000 provides in-kind cost sharing

credit to the non-federal sponsor for design, construction and operational and

maintenance and for treatment of credit between projects to maintain a 50/50

cost share. The draft PIR includes recommendations to credit the non-federal

sponsor for work completed under the Acceler8 program in advance of approval

and authorization of the federal project. At this time, it is anticipated that the

Selected Plan will include SFWMD’s Acceler8 project for the EAA Storage

Reservoir (190,000 acre-feet of storage and appurtenant structures and

features).

Detailed design of the Acceler8 project will be accomplished by SFWMD with

coordination and review by USACE under the Acceler8 program. All project

features will be designed in accordance with USACE regulations and standards.

Construction activities for the Acceler8 project will be in accordance with the

Acceler8 program and will be the responsibility of SFWMD. Crediting for work
