Tuesday s release from the Moore Haven Lock & Dam to the Caloosahatchee River does not concern the Treasure Coast, but Wednesday s release from the Port Mayaca Lock & Dam does because of highly toxic algae documented there in the past week.
If the Army Corps of Engineers has to open the St. Lucie Lock & Dam during the study, the algae could make its way from the lake to the C-44 Canal to the St. Lucie River.
To minimize the potential of that happening, the Corps will try to lower the level in the C-44 Canal, according to a news release the agency issued Monday.

PALMETTO, Fla. (WWSB) - Manatee County Commissioner James Satcher has added interest in Piney Point. It lies in his district.
“I don’t think the rain is an issue at all,” said Satcher. “What is an issue is what’s happened for years before.”
Satcher believes some of the wet weather we’ve experienced the last few days and the weather to come won’t be a problem at the site of the recent contaminated water leak.
It is truly an indictment of how Florida is led that in a state where countless lawmakers have no qualms about heavy-handedly trying to control and micromanage how Floridians express their right to protest, cast votes and even select which college degrees to pursue, there has been an utter lack of diligent leadership when it comes to protecting citizens from incidents such as the frightening breach at the old Piney Point fertilizer plant in Manatee County.
A leak in a liner of the plantâs reservoir caused a partial breach in a containment wall â which in turn:
⢠Forced hundreds of nearby homes, businesses and Manatee County Jail inmates to be evacuated.
