A group of lawmakers and environmentalist organizations is urging change in the way the feds manage the levels of Lake Okeechobee. This is an important coalition representing our peninsula of Florida that are just demanding the (U.S. Army) Corps of Engineers make responsible change in their rewrite of the Lake Okeechobee System Operating Manual.
Congressmen Brian Mast and Byron Donalds have sent a letter to the Army Corps, asking that the agency select a water release schedule known as Alternative CC, which keeps toxic discharges from the lake into rivers on the east and west coast of the state, and instead sends water to the south into the Everglades.
