SFWMD STA-2 Refurbishments Cell 2

This project is part of the overall Everglades Restoration program in the State of Florida.

LOCATION: Palm Beach County, Florida owner: South Florida Water Management District contract: $27,129,721

PERFORMANCE

This project will improve the treatment performance of the STA-2 Cell 2 located just south of Star Quarries, and just east of US 27. Our work will address compromised hydraulics, vegetation sustainability, and treatment performance caused by inappropriate treatment cell features and ground elevations.

DISTRIBUTION

During standard operations, the spreader canals cells distribute water internally to sheet flow across the treatment cells and into the collector canals.

RECONSTRUCTION

We are improving the performance of this standard operation will be improved in Cell 2 by regrading of areas within the cell and reconstructing plugs in the east canal.

SUSTAINABILITY

For this project we will use primarily imported soil of approximately one million tons supplemented by 100,000cy of suitable materials cut from degraded areas to achieve the desired elevations.

SOIL INVERSION

In addition, we will be conducting soil inversion over the entire 145 acres, constructing 8 Rip Rap Energy Dissipaters and 26 Earth Canal Plugs. This project was completed ahead of schedule April 15, 2022.
