Lake
Okeechobee Conditions Report August 28, 2007:
According
to the USACE web site,
This
month 21 of the 27 water quality sampling sites had sufficient water for
sampling but only TSS results are available. TSS values averaged 8 mg/L. In April 07, the last
time the same 21 sites were sampled, mean TSS was 60
mg/L. As reported earlier in the month, this improved water clarity is
associated with a substantial expansion of SAV cover
in the nearshore zone of the lake.
Data
from this month’s bloom survey are not yet available.
