Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Lake Okeechobee Works of the District Permits. </SPAN><SPAN>Lake Okeechobee Works of the District Permits are issued within the Lake Okeechobee Watershed region of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The District identified Lake Okeechobee as a priority water body threatened by phosphorus pollution. The State Legislature mandated the District to develop a Surface Water Improvement Management plan to reduce the phosphorus loading to the lake. In 1989, the Lake Okeechobee Works of the District Rule was developed as a result of the Surface Water Improvement Management Plan. The rule requires that property owners within the Lake Okeechobee Watershed obtain a Lake Okeechobee Works of the District (WOD) permit. These permits are issued to limit the amount of phosphorus coming from land parcels that drain to Lake Okeechobee. Chapter 40E-61 provides authorization and the requirements for the issuance of these permits. The applications for the WOD permits are reviewed by the Lake Okeechobee Watershed Assessment (LOWA) staff. The Lake Okeechobee Protection Act which was passed by the legislature in 2000, expanded the scope of the Lake Okeechobee Watershed to include the Kissimmee Upper Chain of Lakes and the Lake Istokpoga basins. The WOD rule is currently being revised to include this region.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
