Section 1 Introduction

EAA Storage Reservoirs Revised Draft PIR and EIS February 2006

1-19

1.6 DECISION TO BE MADE

The integrated PIR/EIS provides the documentation and coordination necessary

to seek Federal authorization for the selected plan. The PIR describes the

economic, environmental, and social benefits and costs of the final array of

alternatives and selected alternative plan. The PIR also documents the

involvement of Federal agencies, the state of Florida, and other non-Federal

entities that have been consulted in the development of the selected alternative

plan.

The decision makers must determine if constructing a reservoir and STA and

widening associated canals in order to capture Lake Okeechobee releases and

treat water delivered to the natural system meets the natural and local water

supply demands, reduces the withdrawals from the natural systems, provides

proper timing and distribution of water to the WCAs, and reduces freshwater

flows to the estuaries. The selected plan must also be consistent with the

mission of the agency, cost effective, and in the interest of the Federal and state

agencies involved. They must also decide if the location and size of the reservoir

and STA is suitable and the impacts acceptable. Included for their review is

documentation of the coordination, formulation, and analysis of project benefits

and impacts. This project is taken into consideration with other identified

CERP, State and National objectives for compliance and prioritization.
