center. The access for the RTU to the control center is via microwave gateway.

The automation components of all pump stations and structures that will

eventually be operated and maintained by SFWMD and must conform to

SFWMD standards in order to (1) achieve cost efficiency in design, construction,

operation and maintenance, and, (2) meet safety, reliability, and performance

requirements during routine and emergency operations. The automation

components are broadly defined to include hardware, software, communications

and user interface elements.

6.5 LERRD CONSIDERATIONS

6.5.1 Lands and Interests in Lands and Costs

6.5.1.1 Existing Federal Project

The Miami Canal (L-25, L-24 and L-23) and the North New River Canal (l-20, L-

19 and L-18) are all part of the original C&SF Project and lie fully or partially

within the lands required for construction, operation, maintenance, repair,

replacement and rehabilitation of the Project. All improvements to the Miami

Canal will be conducted within the existing right of way owned in fee or

perpetual easement by SFWMD. All improvements to the North New River

Canal will be conducted within the existing right of way owned in fee or

perpetual easement by SFWMD. SFWMD will not receive credit for the provision

of these lands or interests in land for the EAA Reservoir Project. The interests

owned by SFWMD will be the required estate for these lands.

6.5.1.2 Compartment A

Fee title will be required for the project footprint of the EAA Reservoir, the

seepage buffer area, and seepage canals. The EAA Reservoir, the seepage buffer

area, and seepage canals require 30,735.48 acres in Compartment A, of which

29,749.18 acres were acquired in the Talisman exchange/acquisition. The

remaining 966 acres in Compartment A were acquired by SFWMD. In March

1999, the “Talisman Exchange and Purchase and Sale Agreement” effected

transactions pursuant to which the landowners in the EAA would sell lands to,

or exchange lands, with other landowners and the SFWMD in order for SFWMD

to own contiguous parcels of land in the southern portion of the EAA for the

purposes of Everglades restoration. As part of the transaction, SFWMD

contributed total payment to buy out the farming reservation held by the St. Joe

Paper Company. As per the terms of the Cooperation Agreement between the

SFWMD and the DOI, SFWMD elected to apply program income revenue

towards the repayment of its contribution. If the program income revenue does

not totally satisfy the repayment of SFWMD’s contribution, SFWMD will seek

credit for the balance of its contribution as an allowable project expense for cost-

sharing purposes. The federal funds contributed by DOI pursuant to the Farm
