A refined nutrient reduction allocation strategy for priority waterbodies will be presented. Local governments will present updates of progress made toward completing nutrient reduction projects for Trout Lake, Lake Yale, and Lake Denham.
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 for the Harris Chain of Lakes, Palatlakaha River, and Lake Apopka. The Second Phase of the Upper Ocklawaha Basin Management Action Plan was adopted in 2014 to address nutrient problems in the previously listed waterbodies.
