Jacksonville, Fla. — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District invites our partners, the public and stakeholders to the draft 2024 Integrated Delivery Schedule public engagement workshop by the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2024 at 1 p.m. at the South Florida Water Management District Auditorium in West Palm Beach, FL. This meeting will also have an option to attend virtually.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide partners, stakeholders and the public with an opportunity to learn more about the draft 2024 Integrated Delivery Schedule or ‘IDS.’
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 Integrated Delivery Schedule (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 (SFER) 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. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (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.
