LORS
2008 Implementation on 10/20/09:
Stages in Lake Okeechobee are now in the Base Flow Band. Tributary inflows are in the normal category. The seasonal outlook for net inflow into the Lake is for very wet conditions. The multi-seasonal outlook is also very wet.
The 2008 LORS Release Guidance Flowchart calls for releases up to 450 cfs at S-79 and up to 200 cfs at S-80. Given estuary conditions, the District recommends discharge to the Caloosahatchee and Saint Lucie Estuaries continue to be limited to basin run-off.
The 2008 LORS Release Guidance Flowchart also calls for releases to the WCAs if desirable or with minimum Everglades’ impact. The District does not recommend releases of Lake Okeechobee at this time.
