... During dry periods, water recovered from the ASR wells would be used to maintain the surface water level within the lake and associated canals throughout the Everglades, and to augment water supply demands. The Lake Okeechobee ASR pilot project will consist of six (6)

... Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries Nearly unlimited underground storage capacity eliminates water losses due to evapotranspiration and seepage Wells can be located in areas of greatest need, reducing water distribution costs · Requires limited land acquisition Provides the ability to recover large volumes of water during severe droughts, presumably when reservoir levels would be low These advantages are particularly important in South Florida where land acquisition costs are high, the availability of water is seasonal, and the underlying FAS are geographically extensive. The South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force Working Group commissioned the development of an ASR Issue Team in 1998.

Task 3.1 - Surface Water Availability Analysis Task 3.2 - Source Water and Receiving Water Quality Analysis Task 3.3 - Recovered Water Quality and Quantity Considerations Task 3.4 - Treatment Alternatives Pilot Testing Phase 4 - Groundwater Modeling Groundwater modeling will primarily be conducted to evaluate regional effects of the proposed full-scale CERP ASR implementation on the FAS. Geochemical modeling will be conducted to evaluate the potential for adverse geochemical reactions that could impair ASR performance.

Exploratory Well Re-Permitting Task 7.6 - Cluster Well Construction Permitting Task 7.7 - Contractor Selection and Procurement Task 7.8 - Well Construction Task 7.9 - Hydrogeologic/Engineering Reports Task 7.10 - Surface Facility Construction Task 7.11 - Operation and Maintenance Manuals Phase 8 - Cycle Testing Cycle testing will be performed following construction of the exploratory/test wells the multi-well cluster, the FAS and SAS monitor wells, and associated surface facilities, under the UIC Construction Permits for the ASR systems. The purpose is to test the performance of the system, both mechanically and hydrogeologically.
