What have the Modified Water Deliveries to Everglades National Park (MWD) and C-111 projects accomplished to date to enable water to be delivered to Everglades National Park?
Implementation of the Modified Water Deliveries and C-111 projects has been particularly difficult. Despite these difficulties, some progress on each of the projects has been made. The Modified Deliveries Project has increased flows to Everglades National Park. This was begun in 1999, with the raising of the Tigertail Camp. Completion of this mitigation feature allowed for higher water levels in the L29 canal. The L29 canal water flows through the culverts into Northeast Shark River Slough and is delivered to Everglades National Park (ENP). In the summer of 2002, construction of the S356 pump station will be completed which will provide seepage control to the lands east of L31N and enable higher water levels in Northeast Shark River Slough. On the C-111 project, in 1999, the S332D pump station was completed which has provided additional flows into Taylor Slough. In 2001, the Taylor Slough Bridge raising and lengthening was completed. This opening has removed the constriction previously
