Final LOSOM approval culminates five-year effort to improve Lake Okeechobee operations
Today calls for a celebration five years in the making, as the new Lake Okeechobee System Operation Manual (LOSOM) has OFFICIALLY been signed into effect!
Replacing the old Lake Okeechobee Regulation Schedule 2008 (LORS08), LOSOM is the manual the Army Corps of Engineers will use to manage Lake O’s water levels over the next 5-7 years.
And thanks to your action and advocacy over the plan’s multi-year development process, LOSOM is expected to provide system-wide benefits. See exactly how the new plan will affect coastal discharges and Everglades flows south in our latest blog.
