ATTEST: MAYOR City Clerk ~s 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. _::r:.. !'t- r :::t: ("). ~ .~ I.oXahatehee Nadonal -Wildlife . -RefUge WCA-l I , -" ~..
