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 arrangements for a committee meeting planned for September 4, 1968. 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.
