Finding A Solution
The study found that if encapsulated, these contaminants will not find their way into the food chain. Currently, a contract has been let to till the entire restorations area to a depth 3'. By "turning over" the land, the SJRWMD hopes to be able to again flood the area and begin the natural process of marsh restoration.
Currently, the SJRWMD maintains a "marsh flow-way" system that naturally filters the water of the lake, removing solids and phosphate, before returning it to the lake body. The result is an increase in water clarity and signs that the lake is on the mend.
In the mid 2000's, instead of pressure by agricultural interests, the lake shore was being eyed by residential developers and the municipalities were proposing plans to use the lake water for residential landscape watering use as surface water sources were being looked at to offset the stress growth was placing on the aquifer. FOLA remains active in monitoring any proposals or developments that may adversely impact the restoration process.

Famous quotes containing the words finding a, finding and/or solution:
“Finding a thought for an aphorism is not hard. Putting a kink in its tail is the hard part.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“As a father I had some trouble finding the words to separate the person from the deed. Usually, when one of my sons broke the rules or a window, I was too angry to speak calmly and objectively. My own solution was to express my feelings, but in an exaggerated, humorous way: “You do that again and you will be grounded so long they will call you Rip Van Winkle II,” or “If I hear that word again, I’m going to braid your tongue.””
—David Elkind (20th century)
“The truth of the thoughts that are here set forth seems to me unassailable and definitive. I therefore believe myself to have found, on all essential points, the final solution of the problems. And if I am not mistaken in this belief, then the second thing in which the value of this work consists is that it shows how little is achieved when these problems are solved.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
