New Governor Ron DeSantis signs first executive order to restore Everglades
Posted January 11, 2019
On January 10, Governor DeSantis unveiled a sweeping, multi-point environmental plan to fix Florida’s ongoing water crisis which includes expediting the design and construction of the EAA Reservoir and requested the immediate resignations of all remaining eight members of the South Florida Water Management District.
Governor DeSantis first signed Executive Order 19-12, whose most critical points include:
- Directing the South Florida Water Management District to immediately commence design of the EAA Reservoir.
- Ensuring that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will approve the EAA Reservoir project on schedule.
- Expediting other key Everglades projects including the C-44 and C-43 reservoirs, the Tamiami Trail project and others.
- Securing $2.5 billion over the next four years to invest in Everglades restoration and protecting our water resources – a $1 billion increase over the last four years and the highest level of funding for Everglades restoration in Florida’s history.
- Restoring accountability, transparency and science in setting and achieving Florida’s environmental priorities, including steps to restore robust criminal enforcement in Florida’s environmental laws and the appointment of a Chief Science Officer to coordinate and prioritize scientific data and research.
