Project Description

This project relates to two components - Dade Broward Levee and Canal and the turnpike deliveries associated with the North Lake Belt Storage Area. A new conveyance canal will be constructed east of the Dade-Broward Levee Canal where the existing canal presently connects to the wellfield protection canal. In lieu of using the Florida Turnpike Canal, this new canal will convey regional water supply deliveries from Lake Okeechobee to the C-6, C-7, C-4 and C-2 canals and the South Dade Conveyance System. This feature will 1) reduce seepage to the east from the Pennsuco wetlands and southern WCA 3B 2) enhance hydro periods in the Pennsuco Wetlands 3) provide recharge to the Miami-Dade Country?s Northwest Wellfield and 4) convey regional water supply deliveries south to Miami-Dade County.
