Yes |
| |
Name of water body: |
Upper Ocklawaha River Basin, including Lake Apopka |
| |
| Describe how it will reduce loadings, identify anticipated load reductions for total suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and other contaminants, and specify the practices that will be used to reduce loadings: |
| Currently the land is being used as cattle ranch contributing 1211 pounds of Nitrogen per year, 154.2 ponds of Ortho-P, 197.3 pounds of Phosphorus per year, 2016.2 pounds BOD per year and 25250 pounds of Total Suspended Solids per year. Eliminating the cattle abd restoring the floodplains with increased storage and planting vegetation in the restored floodplains reduce the loads to 597.2 pounds of total Nitrogen of year, 60.5 pounds of Ortho-P per year, 50.4 pounds of phosphorous per year, 931.5 pounds of BOD per year and 2927 pounds of total suspended solids per year. |
