mikeod - you ask some great questions. it's too bad that the acc budget comm and others are not willing to get a professional review/report to answer same just because it has been discussed and no one wanted it done or wanted to pay for it many, many years ago!

so much might have changed since 'many, many years ago' that there could be different alternatives today - would especially like to hear from the water management authority re same!

i don't know that dredging is the answer - especially with the fragility of the land being what it is in florida. but transferring water among retention ponds is a frequent practice by water management authorities...the pond behind my mother's home in martin downs [palm city, fl] had frequent variations in depth - resident and migrating water fowl appreciated any significant depth!
