Computer model examines lagoon water cleanup plan
Sheryl Gucich reports on a nine month NWFWMD study of Old Pass Lagoon presented to the Destin Harbor Choc tawhatchee Bay Subcommittee. The model, the second of its kind in Florida, simulates salinity temperature and circulation to test cleanup projects before implementation. It suggests the main issue is poor circulation and estimates gulf flushing could restore water quality in about 17 days at 25,000 gallons per minute, with maintenance around 30,000 annually shared by NWFWMD Destin and Okaloosa County.
