Transcript
At Last – Cure For Lake Apopka
AT LONG LAST we’ve got a do-something program on Lake Apopka.
Ever since the hyacinth kill showed up the truth, that the once great fishing attraction, 31,000-acres big, was fast sliding down-hill, we’ve been subjected to nothing but pessimistic talk.
Last season was worst of all, when the State Board of Health and Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission trotted out that $2 word, “eutrophication”, and applied it to our lake with a helpless, palm-up toss of the hand.
That fancy word was supposed to mean the lake is dying of old age, and the application seemed to say, “Don’t bother us because there isn’t a thing you can do about it.”
A lot of us just didn’t care for that answer and thank goodness Gov. Claude Kirk has his action reputation staked on proving something can be done.
C.W. (Mickey) Sheffield, a young Orange County employe, a biologist with a couple of degrees and an eye to opportunity, was tapped for chairman of the governor’s technical committee for improving Lake Apopka.
Kirk and Sheffield are two me who want to prove something, get out of the rut and do bigger and better things.
The preliminary ideas Sheffield unfolded on Tuesday’s Sentinel make for an action program, daring and imaginative.
Unproved, yes. But nobody else, after years of opportunity, has come up with anything akin to, nor as credible as what we’ll call the Sheffield Plan.
We say to Mick Sheffield, more power to you. You’ve made a good start. Keep right on running.
We say to Gov. Kirk, please stay behind this Apopka project. We think success in combatting pollution here is vital to the whole state.
You picked a tough pilot project, but if men such as Sheffield can show fast progress on this job you will win many friends.

Description
A report detailing Thomas L. Wellborn, Jr.'s visit to Lake Apopka, Florida in June 1963. Wellborn, a biologist with the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife of the Fish and Wildlife Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior, visited Lake Apopka to examine fish for signs of disease. Though some fish parasites were identified, Wellborn found no evidence of infectious diseases among the moribund fish in Lake Apopka. Samples were taken and sent to be examined for viral disease. Wellborn details his observations of planes spraying pesticides into Lake Apopka on three separate mornings.

A letter of correspondence from John R. Thoman, the Regional Director of the Water Supply and Pollution Control Division of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, to A. D. Aldrich, the Director of the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission. The letter discusses the analysis of the samples taken by Eugene W. Surber during his visit to Lake Apopka, Florida, in June 1963. Analysis of fish samples performed by chemists with the Department of Health found large concentrations of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) were in the bass fish samples. According to the letter, Thoman does not believe these concentrations necessarily indicate DDT poisoning as the cause of death.
