WSE Implementation on 9/25/07:

Operations Department Technical Input

Part 1 of WSE:

Release Decision:  No regulatory releases to the WCAs

 

The LOK stage is below the federal regulation schedule release zones; thus the regulation schedule currently calls for no releases to the WCAs.

 

Part 2 of WSE:

Release Decision:  No regulatory releases to the Estuaries

 

The LOK stage is below the federal regulation schedule release zones; thus the regulation schedule currently calls for no releases to the Estuaries.  

 

On Saturday, 10-February-2007, at the request of the SFWMD, the USACE started a 4-day pulse release at S-79 to reduce the chloride concentration at the Lee County Olga Water Treatment Plant intakes.   This release ended at 07:00 14-February.  Environmental water supply deliveries at S-79 for the Caloosahatchee Estuary were not resumed after the pulse release for the Olga Plant, and therefore effectively ended on 10-Feb.

 

Refer to the current SFWMD Position Analysis tracking chart and the LOK stage & discharge history for more information.  

 

For further information regarding technical input for this week’s release decision, refer to the Recommendation from the SFWMD's Staff Environmental Advisory Team.
