4. Parity with the Harris Chain: We demand that Lake Okahumpka be treated with the same environmental

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

A group called SOLO is asking for action to address environmental issues and navigability problems at Lake Okahumpka. The group states the lake is becoming stagnant and unnavigable due to invasive vegetation and floating plant matter. They are requesting that state and local officials form a task force to take immediate action. This initiative is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. If action is taken, it could involve site clearing and grading to remove vegetation and muck, potentially followed by efforts to restore water quality and depth. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas like environmental remediation, marine services, and heavy equipment operation to engage with the process before specific plans or permits are finalized.
