CERP - Lake Okeechobee Aquifer Storage and Recovery Pilot - Proj 32

This document presents and summarizes all activities conducted at two aquifer storage and recovery
(ASR) systems that were designed, permitted, constructed, and operationally tested to fulfill
requirements of the Lake Okeechobee ASR Pilot Project located on the Kissimmee River (also known as
the Kissimmee River ASR system), and the Hillsboro ASR project. The Kissimmee River ASR (KRASR)
system was designed, constructed, and operationally tested by the United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) – Jacksonville District. The Hillsboro ASR system was designed, constructed, and
operationally tested by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) who also served as the
local sponsor. These two ASR projects collectively are known as Comprehensive Everglades Restoration
Plan (CERP) Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Pilot Projects. This document should be of interest to
water resource scientists and engineers in the fields of groundwater hydrogeology and hydraulics,
groundwater and surface water quality, permitting, facility operations, and cost evaluations of an ASR
surface facility and wellfield.
