L-40 Berm Enhancement Project
Request:
· Lake Worth Drainage District is requesting 2 million dollars from the Florida
Legislature for a feasibility study, design and permitting for the L-40 Berm
Enhancement project.
Fact:
· The Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge (WCA 1) is the primary source for
regional water supply for 750,000 residents in central & southeastern Palm Beach
County and Northern Broward County.
Problem:
· WCA 1 depends on STA lW and STA IE for water supply deliveries that meet
State water quality standards prior to releasing water for regional water supply
needs.
· STA's are not always reliable for clean water deliveries due to regulation
schedule requirements, damage from hurricanes, maintenance and nesting of
migratory birds.
Benefits:
· With the L-40 berm extension, Lake Okeechobee water can be diverted to L WDD
and North Broward County during low water times to meet water supply needs
without compromising water quality in the interior marsh ofWCA 1.
· By diverting excess water from Lake Okeechobee to the LWDD and North
Broward canal networks, damaging diversions to the St. Lucie and Calooshatchee
Rivers can be reduced.
. The L-40 Berm extension would protect the WCA 1 interior marsh from
undesired marsh draw downs during low water events.
· Would allow for STA's to be taken offline for maintenance without jeopardizing
water supply deliveries.
