      NOTICE TO NAVIGATION INTERESTS

      NOTICE NUMBER:  25-018

      WATERWAY: OKEECHOBEE WATERWAY

      EFFECTIVE: 05/22/2021

      1. Notice to Navigation

      Notice is given that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is advising commercial and recreational vessels to check lake and canal levels daily when making navigation decisions.  USACE is conducting RECOVERY operations, which involve the lowering of Lake Okeechobee to allow for growth of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and for the overall health of the lake.  This is causing lake levels to be lower than typical. Additionally, the Corps may hold the upper pool of the C-43 canal, between the Julian Keen Jr. Lock and Dam (S-77) and Ortona Lock and Dam (S-78) below its optimal level. 

      You may check lake and route depths at:  https://w3.saj.usace.army.mil/h2o/currentLL.shtml

      Point of contact is USACE Jacksonville District Public Affairs at 904-327-2531.
