C-44 Reservoir/Stormwater Treatment Area (STA) Project. The C-44 Reservoir and Stormwater
Treatment Area (STA) Project supports the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Everglades
Restoration Plan (CERP). This ambitious plan calls for the implementation of more than sixty projects
over a period of thirty years and will cost an estimated 10.9 billion dollars. The overarching goal of the
plan is to restore, protect, and preserve the water resources in a sixteen county area of central and
southern Florida, including the Everglades. The goal will be achieved primarily by capturing excess
surface water runoff that currently flows to the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico and re-directing it to a
series of impoundments for storage and treatment. As charged by the Water Resources Development
Act of 2000 (WRDA 2000), the Indian River Lagoon South (IRL-S) Project Implementation Report
(PIR) identified general and specific goals for the C-44 Project. The overall goal of the Project is to
"capture local runoff from the C-44 Basin, treat some or all of it via sedimentation and natural
transformation of nutrients, and return it to C-44 when there is a need. The components are designed
for flood flow attenuation to the estuary; water quality benefits resulting from reduced loading of
nutrients, pesticides, and other pollutants contained in runoff presently discharged to the estuary; and
water supply benefits.
