Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida Osceola Camp Cure Plan Environmental Assessment

The National Park Service (NPS) is proposing improvements to the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida Osceola Camp due to water levels in the area rising from the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP), a component of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP). The Camp is located downstream of one of the CERP project flow ways and the Camp's current ground surface elevation, select structures, roadways and driveways must be elevated in order to provide appropriate levels of flood protection to the Camp before the water levels can be raised as part of the CERP. The site plan to modify the site elevations to accommodate the CEPP is referred to the Cure Plan for the Camp. The NPS and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida (Tribe) have worked together to develop a Cure Plan, or site plan, to allow for the progression of the CEPP while preserving the Camp facilities, functions and public health of the residents.

This Environmental Assessment analyzes the impacts to the park's natural and cultural resources from the proposed action.
