Intent To Prepare a Real Estate
Supplement/Third Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (RES/
SEIS) to the Final SEIS on Modified
Water Deliveries to Everglades

ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In November 2005, the
Jacksonville District, U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (Corps) issued a Final 2nd
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) for the Tamiami Trail
feature of the Modified Water Deliveries
(MWD) project to Everglades National
Park in Miami-Dade County, FL. That
SEIS assumed that the National Park
Service (NPS) would acquire the
necessary real estate interests in seven
privately-owned parcels of land
adjacent to the south side of Tamiami
Trail to avoid flooding impacts after the
Tamiami Trail project was constructed
and ecosystem restoration water flows
were directed south into Everglades
National Park. It is now concluded that
the NPS will be unable to complete the
acquisition of real estate rights in time
to meet the overall schedule of the
MWD project. The Corps now proposes
to take over responsibility for the
acquisition and address the related
impacts in a supplement to the previous
SEIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
a. The proposed action will be the
selected plan described in the
November 2005 Revised General
Reevaluation Report/SEIS with the
additional action of securing the
necessary real estate rights to the

Jkt 208001
privately owned properties along
Tamiami Trail consisting of Florida
Power and Light Co., Radio One
Communications, Coopertown Airboard
Rides, Gator Park, Everglades Safari
Park, and Lincoln Financial Media
(formerly Jefferson Pilot). The 1989
Everglades National Park Protection and
Expansion Act (Pub. L. 101–229)
provided authority for NPS to acquire
all of these properties to be included in
the boundary of the Everglades National
Park (ENP) except for the Airboat
Association of Florida. The Airboat
Association of Florida was specifically
excluded from the boundary of the ENP
map at the time Public Law 101–229
was enacted. Therefore, the proposed
action will also include securing the
real estate rights from the Airboat
Association necessary to convey water
flows south into ENP.
The NPS retains responsibility for
reaching agreement with the Osceola
Indian Village on flood protection
measures for their facilities, and for
providing NEPA coverage on that
action.
b. Alternatives to be considered
separately for each property involves
some combination of structural
modifications, acquisition of an
occasional/perpetual flowage easement,
or fee simple title acquisition (buy out).
c. A scoping letter will be used to
invite comments on alternatives and
issues from Federal, State, and local
agencies, affected Indian tribes, and
other interested private organizations
and individuals. A scoping meeting is
not anticipated.
d. A Public meeting will be held after
release of the Draft RES/SEIS; the exact
location, date, and times will be
announced in a public notice and local
newspapers.
e. DSEIS Preparation: The integrated
RES, including a DSEIS, is expected to
be available for public review in the
third quarter of CY 2006.
