| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: | |||||||||
| Load reduction projections have not been quantitied by project; however, the Loxahatchee River has been monitored for quality since the early 1970's Twenty-two long-term monitoring stations were established and have been sampled throughout the marine, estuarine & freshwater portions of the watershed. In 1995, the Loxahatchee River Environmental Control District consolidated 25 years of data and developed the Water Quality Baseline of the loxahatchee River. When the proposed projects are constructed improvements in the water quality of the Loxahatchee River will be measured through the existing water quality monitoring system and compared with the baseline | |||||||||
