The project is a regional water quality improvement effort intended to reduce total phosphorus (TP) loads from priority areas of the Lake Okeechobee watershed, thereby assisting the state in achieving its Lake Okeechobee total maximum daily load goals and the objectives of the Northern Everglades and Estuaries Protection Program.

One or more members of the Governing Board of the South Florida Water Management District may attend this meeting. No Governing Board action will be taken.

A copy of the agenda may be obtained by contacting Jenna Bobsein, via phone at 561-682-6771, or via email at jebobsei@sfwmd.gov, seven days prior to the meeting.
