6.1.4 Existing Structures
6.1.4.1 G-370 Pump Station
G-370 is an existing pump station that is currently being used as the STA 3/4
inflow. Stormwater runoff and Lake Okeechobee releases in the North New
River Canal pass underneath the bridge on US 27 through this pump station
and into the STA ¾ distribution system. For the EAA Storage Reservoir Project,
this pump station will be used as the reservoir Cell 1 inflow as well as inflow to
STA 3/4. This is a six bay pump station with three 925 cfs diesel pumps and
three 75 cfs electric driven seepage pumps. The total flood control capacity is
2,775 cfs. For the EAA Storage Reservoir Project, the capacity of G-370 will be
reduced to approximately 2,000 cfs due to the increase in head required. The
pump station is located at the southeastern corner of Cell 1 adjacent to U.S.
Highway 27 and the North New River Canal.
6.1.4.2 G-372 Pump Station
G-372 is an existing pump station that is currently being used as the STA 3/4
inflow. Stormwater runoff and Lake Okeechobee releases in the Miami Canal
pass through this pump station and into the STA 3/4 distribution system. For
the EAA Storage Reservoir Project, this pump station will be used as the
reservoir Cell 2 inflow structure. This is a seven bay pump station with four 925
cfs diesel engine driven pumps and three 75 cfs electric driven seepage pumps.
The total flood control capacity is 3,700 cfs. For the EAA Storage Reservoir
Project, the capacity of G-372 will be reduced to approximately 3,000 cfs due to
the increase in head required. The pump station is located at the southwestern
end of Cell 2 adjacent to the Miami Canal.
6.1.4.3 G-374 A-F, G-377 A-E and G-380 A-F Gated Culverts
Existing control structures G-374 A-F, G-377 A-E and G-380 A-F are a series of
six, five, and six barreled gated box culvert structures, respectively. Flows from
the Miami and North New River Canals are conveyed through the STA 3/4
supply canal and distributed through these control structures into STA 3/4. The
total capacity for these structures is approximately 6,000 cfs. The structures are
double-barreled stop log riser structures. For the EAA Storage Reservoir Project
these structures will continue to function as the STA 3/4 inflow structures.
These structures are located along the northern boundary of STA 3/4.
