Brian Mast urges Pahokee residents be relocated away from toxic algae


Mast, who represents Martin, St. Lucie and parts of Palm Beach counties, urged Pahokee Mayor Keith Babb to provide alternative housing options for residents living around the marina until the water is determined to be safe.
Algae in the marina contained 860 parts per billion of the toxin microsystin, state data updated Wednesday shows. At 8 parts per billion, microsystin makes water too hazardous to touch, ingest or inhale for people, pets and wildlife, the EPA says.
Babb had not responded to Mast s letter as of Thursday afternoon, spokesperson Brad Stewart said. Nor had he answered TCPalm s questions about how many residents would have to be relocated and where they could possibly go. ....

Algae in Pahokee Marina attracts attention of U.S. Rep. Brian Mast

Terry Butler was beginning his eight-hour shift at the Pahokee Campground & Marina early Wednesday as government officials began gathering to address toxic algae that could be unleashed on the Treasure Coast if Lake Okeechobee discharges resume. 
Butler spends his weekdays working at the marina, where he cleans boats, trims hedges and, for the past few weeks, has carefully weaved his way around the docks trying to avoid the putrid scent algae releases at his workplace. 
It s really hard for me to smell it every day. But I ve got to come to work,  the 55-year-old Pahokee city employee said. I don t know about the risks. I m not aware of what it is . but every year, it comes in from somewhere else.   ....

Army Corps cites toxic algae in latest Lake O discharges decision


Lake Okeechobee s level is slowly rising, which could mean discharges to the St. Lucie River will resume as South Florida heads into the summer rainy season.
The W.P. Franklin Lock and Dam floodgates will increase Lake O discharges west to the Caloosahatchee River again starting this week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Thursday. But discharges east to the St. Lucie River will not resume yet.
Highly toxic algae that s blooming at the Port Mayaca floodgates  certainly factored into the decision to not send Lake O water east toward Stuart, said Col. Andrew Kelly, the Corps Florida commander. No doubt about it.   ....

Lake O discharges to St. Lucie to end Saturday, Corps announces


Lake Okeechobee discharges to the St. Lucie River will end Saturday and be reduced to the Caloosahatchee River, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Friday.
The reason for that decision is lack of rainfall and a quickly receding lake  not traces of low-toxic algae seen at the Port Mayaca and St. Lucie floodgates last week, according to Col. Andrew Kelly, the Corp s Florida commander.
The short answer is no, Kelly said when TCPalm asked whether algae was a factor in the Corps decision. It was not about algae, it was all about lake recession.  
Having receded about a foot since discharges began 34 days ago, the lake s level was about 14 feet, 2 inches Friday. That still isn t as low as the Corps typically wants it to be to make room for heavy summer rains historically 12½ feet by June 1. ....
