1.Determining loadings to the Indian River Lagoon, St.Lucie Estuary, Loxahatchee River, and Lake Worth Lagoon
2.Determining long and short term trends
3.Identifying seasonal and discharge related water quality trends
4.Calculating material loads, basin-wide areal export rates, and flow-weighted concentrations
5.Implementing LOTAC's recommendation for a comprehensive monitoring and research plan as described in the Department of Environmental Protection Lake Okeechobee Monitoring and Research Plan. |
