U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Jacksonville District is responsible for Everglades restoration and hurricane response, among other duties. Some say the move is “shocking.”

The federal government moved to end its lease for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office in Jacksonville, headquarters of the Jacksonville district and home to about 800 of the nearly 1,100 Florida-based employees.

Despite strong indications that billions of gallons of water would not gush down the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie rivers from months on end when the new management plan for the big lake was finalized earlier this year that's exactly what is poised to occur

West Palm Beach is seeking assurances that a water reservoir project won't harm resident's water supply levels, as guaranteed by a 24-year-old provision.

There has been a change of heart that releases of polluted water from Lake Okeechobee into the Caloosahatchee River are no longer a near-apocalypse happening but rather a beneficial event

The multitude of canals and spillways that drain Miami-Dade and Broward counties are becoming obsolete, and the Army Corps of Engineers and SFWMD are concerned enough to hatch a plan.

The latest report confirms earlier findings. Critics say it highlights the need for repairs that are now seven years overdue.

A brand new set of protections for Miami-Dade’s storm-prone coast is once again on the table after the county agreed to move forward with a new coastal protection study.

Far warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures are causing hurricane predictors to raise the number of tropical storms expected in coming months, but it's not motiving the man in charge of Lake Okeechobee's elevated water level from lowering it.

Army Corps officials say the plan scheduled to begin in June will take another six months after federal environmental officials decided to issue a more rigorous review.

The Corps said it's willing to spend another $8.2 million and take up to five years to better coordinate other plans covering drainage, Biscayne Bay and Everglades marsh restoration and beach renourishment.

The organizations say the federal agency failed to consider the impacts deep sea aquaculture would have on threatened and endangered species.
