WRDA 2000: Assurance of Project Benefits-

President and Governor Agreement- January 9, 2000

“the State shall ensure . . . that water made available by each project in the Plan shall not be permitted for a consumptive use or otherwise made unavailable by the State until such time as sufficient reservations for the restoration of the natural system are made under state law in accordance with the project implementation report. . . .”

Sec. 601(h)(4)(A)

15

Very important! The PIR only identifies the amount of water to be reserved

Identifying the water to be reserved only occurs after initial plan selection

The actual rulemaking for reservations of the water is performed by SFWMD or FDEP

Guidance is being developed on specific information and details for PDTs

Required by WRDA 2000 Operations information necessary to:

– specify project operations consistent with the quantification of water to be reserved

– comply with “Savings Clause”

GOAL: Enhance Ecologic ValuesObjectives: Increase the total spatial extent of natural areas

Improve habitat and functional quality

Improve native plant and animal species abundance and diversity

GOAL: Enhance Economic Values & Social Well BeingObjectives: Increase availability of fresh water (agricultural/municipal & industrial)

Reduce flood damages (agricultural/urban)

Provide recreational & navigation opportunities

Protect cultural & archeological resources and values

CERP - individual projects were selected based on their synergistic effect to the overall plan

Projects - formulated to achieve local and system-

wide goals and objectives as defined by CERP

Must consider different measures, components, features, and project scales within the project area

Structural and non-structural approaches

Initial alternative defined by Yellow Book

Ensures the system-wide goals and objectives defined by the Comprehensive Plan are achieved

Define the project features that optimize system performance and system-wide benefits

Costs and benefits measured at the system-wide level for each of the alternative plans

Selected project will be the plan that reasonably maximizes the project’s contribution toward the system-wide benefits of CERP compared to cost

plan more efficient as an interim project

Assess local impacts Evaluating the output of the selected project together

with authorized projects provides an assessment of local and system-wide impacts due to interim operations

Provide direction to the PDT’s and RECOVER Supplements current planning guidance (ER 1105-2-100) Addresses specific issues such as with- and

without-project condition assumptions and evaluation methodologies

Provides guidance rather than dictum (variations from this guidance should be discussed during policy review meetings)
