The Upper Ocklawaha Basin Working Group will hold a Basin Management Action Plan meeting on August 21. This meeting is open to the public. This meeting covers a series of presentations about water quality and nutrient loading for Lake Apopka and the Harris Chain of Lakes as well as updates of water quality studies and activities conducted by local governments. 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. An Amendment to the Upper Ocklawaha Basin Management Action Plan was adopted in 2019 to further address nutrient problems in Lake Harris, Lake Carlton, Lake Yale, Trout Lake, and the Palatlakaha River well as 2017 TMDLs for Lake Denham, Lake Roberts, and Marshall Lake.
