The Army Corps of Engineers began an 11-day pulse release to the Caloosahatchee Estuary at 11 a.m. today, January 12.
The target flow to the estuary is an average 650 cubic-feet-per-second measured at the Franklin Lock and Dam (S-79).
There will be no flow to the St. Lucie Estuary through S-80 until further notice.
PURRE's position is that any releases under 2,800 cubic-feet-per-second from Franklin Lock into the Caloosahatchee Estuary is acceptable.
