The South Florida Water Management District (District) in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Jacksonville District, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Broward County, is advancing the Central and Southern Florida (C&SF) Flood Resiliency Study (Section 203) in Broward Basins, pursuant to Section 203 of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1986.
The District and the USACE are hosting two National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Scoping Meetings to discuss the study and receive public input. To maximize participation and increase engagement, the same meeting will be held twice at different times. Both meetings will discuss the same subject matter, and the public may attend one or both meetings.
The goal of this study is to develop, evaluate and recommend flood risk management measures and adaptation strategies that provide flood resiliency in vulnerable areas served by the C&SF system, now and in the future. The objective of this study is to enhance the C&SF system water control structures by improving functionality and capacity to reduce flood damages and improve resiliency caused by flooding and changed conditions within Broward County over a 50-year period of analysis from 2035-2085.
