Chairman Goss Quote

The Lake Okeechobee System Operating Manual (LOSOM) Record of Decision was signed on August 12, 2024.

South Florida Water Management District Board Chairman Chauncey Goss released this statement on August 13, 2024:

“Historic. Collaborative. Important. We have worked for five years to get to the record of decision and we are finally here. I’m proud of the South Florida Water Management District staff who worked with the team at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to ensure the Lake Okeechobee System Operating Manual (LOSOM) was implemented in a manner that reduces harmful discharges into our estuaries, sends more water south to benefit the environment and meets the needs of our communities. I want to thank everyone who engaged in this process over the years, especially all of our stakeholders and members of the public who contributed to its development every step of the way.”
