“Fishing the S-9 Pump Station,” Broward County, 2012

“Fishing the S-9 Pump Station,” Broward County, 2012

Most of Broward County was originally underwater at least part of the year before the Everglades were re-engineered as a part of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project. The man-made system for managing the Everglades includes some 1,600 miles of canals and 1,000 miles of levees/berms, 60 pump stations, and more than 500 structures and 700 culverts. The structure here is on the western edge of Broward County’s urban boundary and is called the S-9, for Structure #9 (engineers are so clever with their names). Although the S-9 pump station makes it possible for everyone to live in central Broward County, it also discharges polluted stormwater runoff from urban landscaping and nearby nurseries into the Everglades.
