According to the USACE web site, Lake Okeechobee stage is 9.56’ NGVD today which 0.10’ higher that it was a week ago and 0.51’ higher than it was a month ago. Surface inflows are 881 cfs. and surface outflows are not reported due to missing S77 and S308 data.

 

This month 21 of the 27 water quality sampling sites had sufficient water for sampling; however the results are not yet available.

 

Approximately 8,000 acres of torpedograss from the Indian Prairie marsh south to the Moore Haven marsh are currently being treated at a rate of approximately 670 acres per day.  The intent is to treat at least 12,000 acres this year while lake levels are low.
