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 under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The scope of work would likely involve initial site assessment and planning, followed by extensive dredging operations to remove muck and restore the lakebed. Long-term invasive species management, focusing on native aquatic vegetation, is also a component of the overall plan. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage. Businesses specializing in dredging, marine construction, environmental consulting, and aquatic vegetation management should consider reaching out to understand the project's evolving needs before detailed plans and permits are finalized.
