Description
Description | The Southland Water Resource Project is a proposed 34-year sugar rock mining operation by U.S. Sugar Corp. and Okeelanta Corp. (Florida Crystals) in the Everglades Agricultural Area. The project involves turning sugar farming land into a rock mine, which will later be converted into an 8,600-acre water storage reservoir to store 40 billion gallons of excess Lake Okeechobee water. The mining will be conducted in 13 phases from 2025 to 2059, with a portion of the mine potentially used for water storage within five years. The project has received preliminary approval from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and approval from Palm Beach County, but faces opposition due to environmental concerns and ongoing review by the South Florida Water Management District. |
