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:
“The great problem of American life [is] the riddle of authority: the difficulty of finding a way, within a liberal and individualistic social order, of living in harmonious and consecrated submission to something larger than oneself.... A yearning for self-transcendence and submission to authority [is] as deeply rooted as the lure of individual liberation.”
—Wilfred M. McClay, educator, author. The Masterless: Self and Society in Modern America, p. 4, University of North Carolina Press (1994)
“As one delves deeper and deeper into Etiquette, disquieting thoughts come. That old Is- It-Worth-It Blues starts up again softly, perhaps, but plainly. Those who have mastered etiquette, who are entirely, impeccably right, would seem to arrive at a point of exquisite dullness. The letters and the conversations of the correct, as quoted by Mrs. Post, seem scarcely worth the striving for. The rules for finding topics of conversation fall damply on the spirit.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“I herewith commission you to carry out all preparations with regard to ... a total solution of the Jewish question in those territories of Europe which are under German influence.... I furthermore charge you to submit to me as soon as possible a draft showing the ... measures already taken for the execution of the intended final solution of the Jewish question.”
—Hermann Goering (1893–1946)
