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 to restore the historic depth and sandy bottom of Lake Okahumpka. This project is planned and currently under review. The work would involve muck removal and depth restoration, potentially including site clearing and grading, specialized dredging operations, and water quality management. Long-term invasive species management is also planned, focusing on native aquatic vegetation. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage before detailed plans and permits are finalized. Businesses specializing in dredging, environmental consulting, heavy civil construction, and aquatic vegetation management may find opportunities.
