Okeechobee Conditions Report August 21, 2007:
According
to the USACE web site,
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

approximately 670 acres per day. The intent is to treat at least 12,000
acres this year while lake levels are low.
