Subject:	The South Florida Water Management District is conducting a three-year Planning Study known as the Corkscrew Watershed Initiative (CWI). The project objectives are to develop a comprehensive strategy to achieve ecological restoration of the Corkscrew system by improving wetland hydroperiods and natural flows, while reducing flood risk in nearby flood-prone areas without adversely impacting the water supply and water management needs of the Corkscrew Watershed. A planning team, the Technical Working Group (TWG), comprised of District staff, representatives of local governments in the region and others with responsibility for the management of the Corkscrew Watershed will gather data and identify viable short and long-term strategies to achieve the CWI objectives. The scope of the project includes developing restoration goals, performance measures and metrics, and identifying viable solutions, which will be tested using modeling (Big Cypress Basin Watershed Model). The public and stakeholders will have an opportunity to view and comment on the meeting by attending in person or utilizing the following link: https://sfwmd.link/3KconHk One or more members of the Governing Board of the South Florida Water Management District may attend and participate in this meeting.
