OFW
Outstanding Florida Water
According to Eric Shaw with the Florida DEP we can apply for the OFW designation for all of the coastal dune lakes (including Draper Lake) on 30A at one time.
As we in the Retreat know another project with multifamily housing, a spa, and a dining facility is planning a development on the north end of Draper Lake .
I attended this meeting. It would be a wise idea in my opinion to get the process outlined by Mr. Shaw started soon as we want at least 50% of the run off going into Draper Lake from this new development to be treated.
The developer stated that he is interested in protecting Draper lake and even mentioned setting up a foundation to do so.
The OFW is consistant with those statements and is already in place.
