Project Description

The Miccosukee Water Management Area (MWMA) is a project to construct a managed wetland on the Miccosukee Tribe's Alligator Alley Reservation located in western Broward County.

The purpose of the project is to provide water storage capacity and water quality enhancement for waters which discharge into the Everglades Protection Area.

The project will convert approximately 900 acres of tribally owned cattle pastures into a wetland retention / detention area, which will be designed to filter out harmful nutrients contained in stormwater runoff before the water enters the Everglades Protection Area. Tribal Water Quality Standards dictate a numerical criterion of 10 parts per billion for total phosphorous inside the Everglades Protection Area. The MWMA was sized to treat the nutrient inputs of the Miccosukee Tribal lands.
