Section 9 Summary of Coordination and Environmental Compliance

EAA Storage Reservoirs Revised Draft PIR and EIS February 2006

utility facilities that cross or run parallel to the Cross and Bolles canals will

depend on the final project design and the location of the additional right-of-way

to be acquired to implement the improvements. This includes one FPL 138kV

transmission line that crosses the Bolles Canal approximately 2 miles west of

US 27.

There is also a Florida East Coast Railroad line that traverses the northern

portion of the EAA and includes spurs that provides service to the major sugar

mills in the area. They cross the Miami Canal in two locations, one

approximately 2 miles north of the Bolles Canal (L-21) and one approximately 3

miles south of the Bolles Canal.

9.2.2 Summary of Coordination Efforts with Existing Utilities and Public

Infrastructure

Coordination on the EAA Project has been carried out since the mid-1990’s as

part of the SFWMD’s outreach efforts on the initial Restudy Project, Lake

Okeechobee Watershed Management Study, and the development of the Lower

East Coast Water Supply Plan. This has included interacting with the

municipal and county governments who have jurisdiction in the EAA, the

applicable local drainage districts and local utilities, the Treasure Coast

Regional Planning Council, the Florida Department of Transportation, Florida

Power and Light Co., phone/fiber optic companies and other interested parties.

In addition to the above efforts, the SFWMD has been involved in a number of

meetings and other coordination efforts with the District 4 Office of the Florida

Department of Transportation regarding scheduled FDOT road projects on US

27 and SR 80, permitting and work coordination requirements, and design

considerations to avoid impacts to the integrity of adjacent road bed of US 27 in

particular. At this time, FDOT has advised us that they have sufficient right-of-

way along US 27 in the vicinity of the proposed EAA reservoir project for any

future road improvements that may be required. Based on these efforts to date,

it is anticipated that the EAA Reservoir project can be built without adversely

impacting FDOTs existing or future facilities in this area.

The SFWMD has also been involved in a number of meetings with FPL

regarding the transmission and distribution facilities in the EAA area, including

those located in the vicinity of the EAA Reservoir project site and the canal

conveyance improvement projects. Discussions regarding the EAA Reservoir

project site have focused on the removal of unneeded existing power distribution

facilities and future power distribution needs while discussions regarding the

canal conveyance improvement projects have focused on possible impacts to

existing permitted FPL facilities that cross these canals. No un-resolvable

issues have been identified to date.
