Abstract

The article informs that there is a rift growing between Florida and the Army Corps of Engineers over the construction of the $8-billion Everglades restoration program, say officials close to the project. Federal and state officials are at odds over an accelerated, independently funded restoration program signed last year by Governor Jeb Bush. Florida has broken with the Corps' serial approach to project design, approval, bid and build. The state's streamlined process conducts multiple preliminary steps concurrently with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969's oversight requirements.
