A document outlining the conclusions from meeting of the Lake Apopka Technical Committee, held in Leesburg, Florida, circa June 1968. The committee was formed by Florida Governor Claude R. Kirk, Jr. (1926-2011) in 1967 to study and implement a restoration plan for Lake Apopka. C. W. Sheffield served as chairman of the committee. This committee meeting was held as a review of the project. This document thus examines the works completed by the committee as of June 1968. Additionally, it identifies outside projects related to the committee's goals of restoration, such as plans for nutrient removal systems by the Winter Garden Citrus Cooperative. This document also lists recommendations for the committee going forward, both general and specific.
