Everglades Restoration Timeline

The Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP)

Congress Authorizes the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP)

Congress authorizes CEPP in the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act.  CEPP is aimed at delivering more natural freshwater flows to the central Everglades and ultimately to Florida Bay. The project calls for the construction and operation of two 14,000 acre FEBs that will store water, attenuate high flows, and deliver it to STAs.  After treatment in STAs, the water will be distributed through WCA 3A and WCA 3B and Everglades National Park through a newly created (Blue Shanty) Flow-way.
