The Upper Ocklawaha Basin Working Group will hold a meeting, open to the public, on November 20 in Leesburg at the Leesburg Community Building. This is a technical meeting to discuss proposed methods for partitioning the reduction of nutrient loadings for the priority waterbodies Lake Harris, Lake Carlton, Trout Lake, Lake Yale, and the Palatlakaha River. The revised loading calculations for the priority waterbodies will also be presented. The Upper Ocklawaha Basin Working Group was formed to provide a forum for stakeholders to discuss issues related to the basin’s nutrient Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Harris Chain of Lakes, Palatlakaha River, and Lake Apopka. The Second Phase of the Upper Ocklawaha Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) was adopted in 2014 to address nutrient problems in the previously listed waterbodies.
