Final design for the Regional Reservoir Expansion was completed in 2007 and the Environmental Resource Permit
(ERP)s for mitigation and reservoirs were issued respectively by April 2007 and October 2007. In June 2007, the
Authority received three bids for the reservoir expansion. The low bid of $64,910,500 was 21 percent higher than the
engineer's estimate. The Authority asked the District to provide additional funding for the increased costs and as a result
the Peace River and Manasota Basin Boards and the Governing Board approved an additional $3,703,704 in 2008
funding and $7,812,582 in 2009 funding for the reservoir project. The Governing Board granted various easements to
PRMRWSA in November after receiving survey information and draft easements. The Authority Board approved the
reservoir construction contract at its July 25, 2007 meeting and issued a limited notice to proceed to the Contractor to
begin initial work and permitting. In addition, the Army Corps of Engineers issued the companion permit to the ERP on
May 18, 2007. The District agreed to convey a perpetual exclusive easement and a perpetual nonexclusive easement to
the Authority by September 2007. The District will also convey a conservation easement to the DEP over the mitigation
area to satisfy permit requirements established by DEP. District and Authority staff agreed on public use issues
associated with the Reservoir Expansion project. DEP approved the commencement of construction in December 2007.
In preparation for the construction, District and Authority staff relocated all recreational amenities to accommodate the
project. The dedication ceremony was held on May 15, 2009, with FDEP Secretary Mike Sole and SWFWMD Executive
Director Dave Moore in attendance. Installation of the soil cement and the outlet tower were complete by May 2009. The
project reached the substantial completion milestone on June 25, 2009; five days ahead of the updated schedule. In
total, approximately 3.6 million yards of fill have been moved to build the reservoir's embankment.
