Big Cypress National Park Patton’s Pit Reclamation

CEI completed the restoration of Patton’s Pit. The 6.5 acre site is located approximately 40 miles west of Krome Avenue on Tamiami Trail (US-41) or 0.5 miles east of the Visitor Center on the north side of US-41 in the Big Cypress National Preserve. The Patton’s Pit site reclamation project entailed returning the site to natural grade by removing the surrounding fill, removing the non-native vegetation that was present on the fill pad, and removing the disposing of solid waste and debris.
