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
for more information.

technical input for this week’s release decision, refer to the Recommendation from the SFWMD's Staff
