CEPP will capture water lost to tide and re-direct water flow south to the central Everglades, Everglades National Park and Florida Bay. Planning efforts for CEPP utilized a pilot process designed to reduce the overall time allocated for a study of this magnitude. In prior years, plan formulation and review may have taken six years or longer; the CEPP process was completed in half that time.
