determined to be sovereign by DEP State Lands. Now, Strickland Arm water levels can fluctuate naturally like
the rest of the lake and the public can enter this part of the lake like they used to. Opening up the Cromartie
Arm to restore historic hydrology is trickier, but I'm working on it.
Fourth, at the L. Kirk Edwards stakeholder meeting, we discussed the merits of a joint LC/FWC land owner
partnership at Road to the Lake on Lower Lake Lafayette . There is a vacant lot between our mutual properties
which is impacting opportunities for a better lake access site. I know our land managers, Morgan Wilber and
Richard Noyse, would like to discuss options with you guys. When that property issue is resolved, muck
removal could be accomplished here (5-10 acres?) with the muck being deposited across the tracks in the
abandoned pits of LC (good idea, yes?}
Fifth, in Alford Arm, tussocks and accumulating muck will continue to be the bane of this system. Although no
actual plans are active here, I have always envisioned working on habitat enhancement projects, with material
deposited on the abandoned watermelon fields (like we once discussed.} Just floating that one out there!

Pictures identified above, and LMK if you have any questions. I'd be happy to discuss with you at any time.

Michael,
Good morning. Last night at the LCBCC meeting Comm. Proctor asked if there was any work that
could be done while our lakes are at their low levels to improve water quality. I was out at L. Iamonia last week
and it appear there may have been some burning on the lake bottom. Are there any on going activities that
FFWCC is doing to any lakes in Leon County ? Please let us know. THANKS.
