Legislative Requirements for Legislative Requirements for Project Implementation ReportsProject Implementation Reports
10
The Secretary and the non-Federal sponsor shall develop project implementation reports in accordance with section 10.3.1 of the Plan
In developing a PIR, the Secretary and the non Federal shall coordinate with appropriate Federal, State, tribal, and local governments
A PIR shall -(I) be consistent with the Plan and programmatic regulations
(II) describe how each of the requirements stated in (3)(B) is satisfied
(III) comply with NEPA
(IV) identify the appropriate quantity, timing, and distribution of water dedicated and managed for the natural system
(V) identify the amount of water to be reserved or allocated for the natural system necessary to implement, under State law, subclauses (IV) and (VI)
(VI) comply with applicable water quality standards and applicable water quality permitting requirements under subsection (b)(2)(A)(ii)
(VII) be based on the best available science
(VIII) include an analysis concerning the cost effectiveness and engineering feasibility of the project

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)
Quantifying Water to be ReservedQuantifying Water to be Reserved
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”

Plan Formulation and Evaluation
• Define Measures (Components)• Develop Planning Cost Estimates (Real Estate, Construction, O&M)• Evaluate Measures (compare with and without plan conditions)• Conduct Incremental Cost Analysis• Compare Alternative Plans• Conduct Environmental Assessments
RECOVER
• Conduct System-Wide Evaluation of Plans
Design SelectedPlan
• Prepare Engineering Design• Develop Draft Water Control Plan• Prepare Real Estate Gross Appraisal• Prepare MCACES Cost Estimate• Quantify Water Made Available• Identify Water to be Reserved• Conduct Interim Operations Assessment•Develop Project Level Monitoring Plan
RECOVER
• Assist in Optimization of Plan Performance for System-Wide Benefits• Assist in Development of Draft Water Control Plan• Coordinate Project Level Monitoring with System-Wide Monitoring Plan
Develop BaseConditions and Models• Conduct NEPA Scoping Activities• Identify Objectives and Constraints• Inventory Resources• Develop Simulation Models (Hydrologic, Ecologic, Water Quality)• Identify Performance Measures• Define Existing Conditions• Define Without Plan Conditions• Initiate Data Collection

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
Goals & Objectives for the RestudyGoals & Objectives for the Restudy

Same as the Restudy… Project Example
– System-wide Objective: Improve Habitat and
Functional Quality • Elsewhere in the system… downstream
– Local Objective: Improve Habitat and
Functional Quality• Within footprint of project boundary

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
Project FormulationProject Formulation
27
3-step process Select Plan based on the project that
reasonably maximizes the project’s contribution toward the system-wide benefits of CERP compared to cost
Project Evaluation/AssessmentProject Evaluation/Assessment
28
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

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)
