The Central Everglades Planning Project includes a suite of storage, treatment, conveyance and seepage management measures that will provide the necessary components to deliver additional fresh water from Lake Okeechobee south to Water Conservation Area 3, Everglades National Park and Florida Bay. Once implemented, the project features will restore more natural quantity, quality, timing and distribution of water flows to the remaining portions of The River of Grass. The Final Integrated Project Implementation Report was published in the Federal Register in July 2014. The Chief of Engineers Report was signed in December.
