WRDA 2000 Programmatic Authority Project:
Restoration of Pineland & Hardwood Hammocks in C-111 Basin
(source: Final Feasibility Report and PEIS, April 1999, Section 9.1.8.25, page 9-25)
This feature includes restoring south Florida slash pine and hardwood hammock species on a 200-foot wide strip on each side of two miles of SR 9336 from the C-111 Canal to the L-31W Borrow Canal (approximately 50 acres) and the establishment of 2, one-acre hammocks in low-lying areas on each side of the road located in Miami-Dade County.
The purpose of this feature is to restore hammocks to a portion of the Frog Pond which has been purchased by the South Florida Water Management District as part of the C-111 Project to restore the Taylor Slough portion of the Everglades. This feature will provide some water quality treatment for runoff passing through the hammocks and will demonstrate the techniques required to re-establish native conifer and hardwood forests on land that has been rock plowed.
