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 muck removal and depth restoration, potentially including site clearing and grading, underwater excavation, and material transport. 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, marine construction, environmental consulting, and aquatic vegetation management may find opportunities.
