CERP 101
(Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan)
 
Authorized by Congress in 2000, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) focuses on "getting the water right" in the South Florida Ecosystem-getting the right amount of water of the right quality to the right places at the right time. The CERP consists of 68 components to restore, preserve and protect the south Florida ecosystem while providing for other water related needs of the region. This presentation will focus on the history and structure of the CERP as well as our cost share and partnership with the federal government from a programmatic perspective. In addition, we will discuss the construction status of non-CERP and CERP projects, current project planning efforts and future implementation of the CERP.
