David Ashlocker, student, gave a brief introduction and the environmental effects on Lake Apopka.

Linda Rogers, student, addressed the Board to discuss the causes of pollution in Lake Apopka.

Kyle Moore, student, addressed the Board to discuss possible solutions. He stated the Eighth Graders' proposed solution is a combination of the dredging and draining solution. He stated the first step in this solution would be to dredge an in-lake

sedimentation basin. The second step is building pumping stations. He stated when all the pumping stations were completed, the lake would be drained into the other three lakes until there was only 15% of the water level left. This will enable sunlight to reach 39 varieties of seeds on the lake bottom and the existing muck at the bottom. When the sunlight reaches the bottom, the seeds will sprout, the muck will dry out, and will enable the remaining fish to have a food source and enough oxygen to live and reproduce.

Kyle Moore introduced his teacher, Miss Shields, to the Board.

Mr. Watkins, Clerk, questioned the effect of the water quality in the other lakes when pumping the water from Lake Apopka into the other lakes. Kyle Moore stated the sedimentation basin would collect the nutrients before reaching the other lakes.
