DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army: Corps of 

Engineers 

Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for a Permit Application for 

Compartments B and C, Palm Beach 

and Hendry Counties, FL 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Jacksonville District, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI). 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps), Jacksonville District, 

will be receiving a permit application 

for a Department of the Army permit 

under Section 404 of the Clean Water 

Act from the South Florida Water 

Management District (SFWMD) to 

construct Stormwater Treatment Areas 

(STAs) on parcels of land identified as 

Compartments B and C of the 

Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) 

(Proposed Action). As part of the permit 

process, the Corps is evaluating the 

environmental effects associated with 

construction of STAs on these parcels in 

order to provide additional treatment to 

assist the existing STAs in the overall 

goal of improving the quality of water 

delivered and to be delivered to the 

Everglades Protection Area (EPA) in 

order to prevent further environmental 

degradation. 

The primary federal involvement 

associated with the Proposed Action is 

the discharge of fill material (including 

permanent inundation) within federal 

jurisdictional areas and Waters of the 

United States. In addition, the Proposed 

Action could have potential significant 

effects on the human environment. 

Therefore, the Corps will prepare an EIS 

in compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to 

render a final decision on the SFWMD’s 

permit application. The Corps’ decision 

will be to either issue or deny a 

Department of the Army permit for the 

Proposed Action. The Draft EIS is 

intended to be sufficient in scope to 

address federal, state, and local 

requirements and environmental issues 

concerning the Proposed Action and 

permit reviews. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions about the Proposed Action 

and Draft EIS should be directed to Ms. 

Tori White, Corps Regulatory Project 

Manager, by telephone at (561) 472–

Proposed Action and Draft EIS can also

(a) Background. On October 4, 1996, 

the Corps published a Final 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement (PEIS) for the initial 

Everglades Construction Project (ECP) 

which consisted of six STAs comprising 

approximately 44,000 acres. The ECP 

was implemented by the SFWMD as a 

result of nutrient loads of stormwater 

and runoff and high phosphorus loads 

from the EAA, Lake Okeechobee, and 

other contributory basins which 

discharge into the EPA. The EPA 

includes Water Conservation Areas 1 

(Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee 

National Wildlife Refuge), 2A, 2B, 3A, 

3B and Everglades National Park. The 

initial ECP was intended to achieve an 

interim target discharge of a long-term
