The Upper Ocklawaha Basin Working Group will hold a meeting on May 28 in Tavares at the Lake County Agriculture Center. This meeting is open to the public. Topics to be discussed are the nutrient sources and nutrient budgets for priority waterbodies including Lake Harris, Lake Yale, Lake Carlton, Trout Lake, Palatlakaha River, Lake Denham, Marshall Lake, and Lake Roberts and the role of responsible parties in these watersheds. 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.
