The Upper Ocklawaha Basin Working Group will hold a meeting on July 10 in Tavares at the Lake County Agricultural Center. This meeting is open to the public. Topics to be discussed are the calculation of loadings from different nutrient sources and changes in land use and type and distribution of nutrient sources. 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.
