The tussocks removed and navigation route is clear. An estimated 35-40 acres of material was removed from the Okeechobee Waterway between Moore Haven Lock and Dam, and Structure 280 (S-280).
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District has placed a buoy line in the rim canal at S-281, just north of the Moore Haven Lock and Dam which will remain in place to prevent additional Floating vegetation from entering the federal navigation channel.
Operations crews worked 12-hour days and weekend to quickly reopen the Moore Haven Lock and Dam, and navigation along the waterway.
