Description
A newspaper article from <em>Florida Magazine</em>, republished by <em>The Orlando Sentinel</em>, discussing the restoration efforts for Lake Apopka. The article summarizes the past history of the lake as a sportfishing center and then discusses the fish kills of the 1960s. The article identifies the sources of pollution entering the lake as the citrus industry, sewage processing, farm discharge, septic drainfields, and natural sources entering through Gourd Neck Springs. The article then details the efforts to restore the lake by the Lake Apopka Technical Committee, formed by Governor Claude R. Kirk, Jr. (1926-2011), with C. W. Sheffield serving as chairman. Of note here is the article's summarization of the committee's restoration projects: improved treatment of sewage and citrus discharge, reducing nutrient inflow, isolation of the muck farms and treatment of farm discharge, isolation of the Gourd Neck Springs area to provide a basin to be used in mud consolidation experiments, improvement of fish habits in the lake through fish cribs and other methods, a lake drawdown to help consolidate the bottom mud, and creation of a shoreline buffer zone using trees and other vegetation.

Description
A memorandum from the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission to the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Commission. This memo discusses the history of pollution in the lakes at the headwaters of the Ocklawaha River basin, specifically Lake Dora, Lake Eustis, Lake Harris, Little Lake Harris, Lake Griffin, and Lake Apopka. The memo identifies the three sources of pollution into these lakes as citrus processing, sewage treatment outfall, and farm waste discharge. The memo outlines the monetary values of the sportfishing and commercial fishing industry on the lakes, as well as detailing the historical change in the makeup of fish populations. The memo also explores the increase in fish kill frequency in these lakes, before ending with a request to the commission for an increase in outreach efforts regarding water pollution.

Description
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.

Additionally, the report notes the completion of the muck farm nutrient removal pilot project. Samples were obtained from the project, which consisted of alternating hyacinth and algae ponds, each with a 2 and a half day retention time. The data from this project will be used for a grant application from the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration (FWPCA). Finally, the various other research projects continued as scheduled.

Lake Apopka Restoration Project Report
Subject
Lake Apopka (Fla.)
Water quality--Florida
Pollution--Florida
Description
A weekly report of the Lake Apopka Technical Committee, chaired by C. W. Sheffield. The committee was an initiative by Governor Florida Governor Claude R. Kirk, Jr. (1926-2011) to investigate pollution and possible restoration of Lake Apopka, launched in 1967. This report discusses the selection of a site for the pilot nutrient removal project on the Zellwood farmlands. The site chosen was on the Clounts farm, near Hooper Farms Road. The report further discusses the construction of this site. Additionally, the report discusses the rejection of a proposed budget by the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Commission, which felt it was unable to provide the financial assistance requested. The report also discusses a review of aquatic weed research being conducted in Lake Virginia, to study hydrilla. Finally, the report discusses a meeting held to discuss a proposed comprehensive basin grant from the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration (FWPCA). The East Central Florida Regional Planning Council agreed to apply for this grant.

This report discusses a subcommittee meeting to examine levee sizes for a potential isolation pond; a review of the project by Orange County Commissioner Paul E. Pickett, after which it was decided the project would be officially sanctioned by the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Commission, giving the Lake Apopka Restoration Project a permanent status; general review of the committee's research projects; and plans for a meeting with the Federal Air and Water Pollution Control Commission on May 3, 1968.

The summary report of Lake Apopka Restoration project aims, possible solution to problems, work completed by committee and antisipated [sic] cost of project was completed by chairman. This was sent to various committee members for their comments prior to final typing and presentation to Florida Air Water Pollution Control Commission. Mr. Patton called at approximately 8:00 AM 3/25/68 to inform the chairman the Governor would be unable to make the brief reviewal [sic] of the lake that afternoon. He indicated said reviewal [sic] would be set up at another date. This worked out for the best based on the fact the summary report should be completed by committee members in approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Then the chairman will be in a better position to give a complete report on the projects progress. The chairman attended an aquatic weed meeting held by Winter Park 3/27/68. This meeting was very informative and it is antisipated [sic] a summer research project will be enacted with various cities in Orlando area, also Federal, State, and local agencies envolved [sic] in weed or water pollution work. The data from this research work will prove to be very useful for finding an aquatic weed which might provide beneficial growth in Lake Apopka.
The Lake Apopka work force checked various research projects within Lake Apopka on 3/28/68 and found all to be in working order. The Hi vol Air sampler located at base camp was put back into operation. (motor repaired was out about 2 weeks).
On Friday the chairman sent Mr. Patton (FAWPCC) copies of all weekly memo, reports and other pertanent [sic] information on the Lake Apopka project for his files. The Lake Apopka work force made preparations for obtaining the Oklawaha Chain of Lake samples 4/1/68. These samples will be obtained with assistance of

CLAUDE R. KIRK, JR.
GOVERNOR
Florida Game Fresh Water Fish Commission and the Orange County Water Conservation Department boats and motors. In this manner all lake, stream, and canal samples can be obtained in one day.
On Saturday 3/30/68 chairman received report from Mr. John Lundquist (Fisherman paradise fish camp) that fish were dying in the Lake Apopka Beauclair [?] Canal. The Lake Apopka work force obtain [sic] chemical, pesticide, fish and physical samples on 3.30/68 to determine extent and cause of kill. From the field reviewal it was indicated only small shad and catfish were dead and very few fish were sighted dead in canal. (One dying fish was observed and obtained for lab tests). The samples will be analized [sic] and a report will follow.

Description
A weekly report of the Lake Apopka Technical Committee, chaired by C. W. Sheffield. The committee was an initiative by Governor Florida Governor Claude R. Kirk, Jr. (1926-2011) to investigate pollution and possible restoration of Lake Apopka, launched in 1967. This report discusses the completion of an experimental algae pond at the Pine Hills Sewage Treatment Plant in Pine Hills, an African-American community in Orlando. This pond would study nutrient removal of wastewater. The report also discusses continuations of the echo sounding project, which sought to accurately map Lake Apopka's bottom, as well as basic maintenance of the fish cribs. Finally, the report notes an upcoming public hearing.
