Statement by Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works on the President’s Implementation of National Environmental Policy Act

Under President Trump’s leadership and consistent with the Unleashing American Energy Executive Order, the Army and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have updated the Corps’ implementing procedures for the National Environmental Policy Act.  These reforms align with the changes Congress made to NEPA in the 2023 Fiscal Responsibility Act, and with the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Seven County Infrastructure Coalition v. Eagle County.  These reforms will apply to the procedures the Corps follows when reviewing permit applications under the Clean Water Act and the Rivers and Harbors Act and to the procedures the Corps follows for Water Resources Development Act projects.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issues modification documents for Central Everglades Planning Project South Phase

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 12, 2025) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, (Corps) is preparing an integrated Limited Reevaluation Report (LRR) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) document to support modifications being considered for the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) South Phase. The proposed modifications are located within Water Conservation Area 3B (WCA 3B) immediately downstream of the S-631, S-152, S-632, and S-633 structures in the L-67A levee and along the L-67C canal and are necessary to enhance project function as described in the 2014 CEPP Final Project Implementation Report and Environmental Impact Statement (PIR/EIS) and Chief’s Report.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issues proposed design refinements for Central Everglades Planning Project North Phase

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 2, 2025) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Jacksonville District pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) issues the Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Supplemental Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Proposed Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for construction of proposed design refinements for the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) North Phase. The specific features of the CEPP Recommended Plan to be implemented in the CEPP North Phase focus on hydropattern restoration in northern Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3A and the backfilling of the Miami Canal that were identified in the 2014 CEPP Final Project Implementation Report and Environmental Impact Statement (PIR/EIS). Construction of the CEPP North Phase will prepare the Everglades system for additional treated water inflows from Lake Okeechobee by providing the conveyance improvements and landscape connectivity necessary to redistribute additional flows to northern WCA 3A. Preliminary hydraulic modeling has found that modifications to CEPP North features are necessary in order to meet the project objectives identified in the 2014 CEPP Final PIR/EIS, including effective and uniformly distributed flow into WCA 3A. The CEPP North SEA and Proposed FONSI address construction of proposed design refinements to the L-4 Levee degrade, a feature of the Recommended Plan in the 2014 CEPP Final PIR/EIS and Chief's Report.
