Army Corps cites toxic algae in latest Lake O discharges decision

Lake Okeechobee s level is slowly rising, which could mean discharges to the St. Lucie River will resume as South Florida heads into the summer rainy season. The W.P. Franklin Lock and Dam floodgates will increase Lake O discharges west to the Caloosahatchee River again starting this week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Thursday. But discharges east to the St. Lucie River will not resume yet. Highly toxic algae that s blooming at the Port Mayaca floodgates certainly factored into the decision to not send Lake O water east toward Stuart, said Col. Andrew Kelly, the Corps Florida commander. No doubt about it.

BREAKING NEWS Home / Opinion / Letters to the Editor / Guest Commentary: Corps steps down harmful Lake Okeechobee releases Guest Commentary: Corps steps down harmful Lake Okeechobee releases By James Evans - | Dec 28, 2020 In a much-anticipated decision on Dec. 3, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced that it would begin cutting back freshwater releases to the Caloosahatchee from Lake Okeechobee. This was not only welcome news for the Caloosahatchee estuary, which has received ecologically damaging flows for the past three months, it is also good news for the coastal communities impacted by the releases. The Corps’ plan will cut back flows from the lake over a two-week period. Beginning Dec. 5, average flows were reduced from 4,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) measured at the Moore Haven Lock (S-77) to 3,000 cfs. Beginning Dec. 12, discharges will be further reduced to 2,000 cfs measured at the Franklin Lock (S-79). Once flows drop below 2,1

Beginning Dec. 12, discharges will be further reduced to 2,000 cfs measured at the Franklin Lock (S-79). Once flows drop below 2,100 cfs, they are considered to be in “optimal range” according to ecological targets established for the estuary.

USACE: Lake Okeechobee releases to be reduced | News, Sports, Jobs - SANIBEL-CAPTIVA - Island Reporter, Islander and Current

USACE: Lake Okeechobee releases to be reduced By NATHAN MAYBERG / nmayberg@breezenewspapers.com - | Dec 18, 2020 The Army Corps of Engineers announced it would begin to sharply reduce the flow from Lake Okeechobee based on readings at the W.P. Franklin Lock and Dam beginning on Dec. 19. The announcement follows widespread reports of red tide in the region, which the Calusa Waterkeeper has blamed on being fostered by continuous releases from Lake Okeechobee into the Calooshatchee River since October. The Army Corps of Engineers previously announced a reduction in flows beginning Dec. 5 targeting though due to basin runoff, the flows have continued to be above the targeted threshold.
