GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE DISCUSSED: 

The South Florida Water Management District will celebrate the completion of the 8.5 Square Mile Area Seepage Wall Phase I Project with a ribbon cutting event. An underground seepage wall was constructed in the 8.5 Square Mile Area (Las Palmas Community). The underground concrete wall helps mitigate flooding in the 8.5 Square Mile Area, keeps water in Everglades National Park and supports increased flows of water south which are necessary for Everglades restoration.

The event will be recorded and available for viewing at  YouTube.com/SFWMDTV after the event concludes.
