2. Muck Removal and Depth Restoration: We demand a feasibility study and funding for a large-scale

Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

A feasibility study and funding are being sought for a large-scale dredging project at Lake Okahumpka. The goal is to restore the lake's historic depth and sandy bottom. This project is planned and is in the early stages of review. The work would involve significant site clearing and grading, likely including muck removal and potentially underwater excavation. Following the dredging, there may be phases for shoreline stabilization and habitat restoration. Contractors specializing in dredging, marine construction, site preparation, and environmental services could find opportunities. Engaging early, before detailed plans and permits are finalized, offers the best chance to compete for this upcoming work.
