GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: A series of public workshops for the Integrated Delivery Schedule (IDS) is being sponsored by the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Working Group to engage the public. Restoration of the South Florida Ecosystem is being implemented via a combination of federal, state, tribal, and local projects. Public discussions related to the IDS will include construction timelines, interdependencies and benefits related to multiple projects. The final IDS will include only federal projects cost shared with the local sponsors (Central and Southern Florida Projects [C&SF] which includes the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan [CERP], Kissimmee River Restoration, and the Everglades and South Florida [E&SF]/Critical Projects). These major projects have been merged into the IDS that provides an overall strategy and sequence for their planning, design, and construction based on ecosystem needs, benefits, costs, and available funding.
The Working Group is sponsoring public workshops to facilitate public participation in the 2015 update of the IDS. The public is advised that it is possible that one or more members of the Water Resources Advisory Commission and Governing Board of the South Florida Water Management District may attend and participate in this meeting.
The draft agenda will be available on the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force website (www.evergladesrestoration.gov) on August 13, 2015.
