Land in Martin County, Fla., that used to produce fresh citrus fruits, will soon begin to bear the fruits of hard work and dedication of many local, state and federal agencies. The first component of the Indian River Lagoon South Everglades restoration project, the C-44 Reservoir and Stormwater Treatment Area, broke ground in October 2011, and once completed, will improve the health and sustainability of the St. Lucie Estuary and Indian River Lagoon by capturing peak flows and runoff during rain events, store that water for later release and treat the water to improve its quality.
