Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The project would be located at the southeast corner of Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3B in Miami-Dade County. This project involves installation of an underground seepage barrier using grout technology to a depth of 100 feet. The barrier would be located between two control structures (S-334 and S-335), in an area of extremely steep groundwater gradients. The suggested site is in an area where there are large documented seepage losses out of WCA 3B into the south Miami-Dade canal system. The proposed barrier would significantly reduce these losses and result in improved water deliveries across L-29 to the eastern portion of Everglades National Park.
