<br />Subject: Herbert Hoover Dike Resolution
<br />
<br />Dear Local Government Officials:
<br />
<br />The South Florida Water Management District's (District) Governing Board passed the attached
<br />resolution that requested Congress to provide the necessary funding for bringing the Herbert Hoover Dike
<br />into compliance with current levee standards. As you are aware, the dike, which provides flood protection
<br />for communities surrounding Lake Okeechobee, does not meet levee safety standards and has structural
<br />deficiencies.
<br />
<br />Failure of the dike would have catastrophic consequences for communities surrounding Lake
<br />Okeechobee. As the impact of the failure of the dike would be felt throughout the District, the District
<br />initially requested about a month ago that your local government pass a resolution in support of the
<br />District's resolution.
<br />
<br />If your local government has passed a resolution, please e-mail me a PDF of the signed resolution or mail
<br />it to my attention at the South Florida Water Management District, 2121 SW 3rd Ave, 6th FI, Miami, FL
<br />33129.
<br />
<br />If your local government has not passed a resolution yet, please advise our office whether it will be
<br />passing one. Since I will be out of the office until July 12, please send information on whether your local
<br />government will be passing a resolution on the Herbert Hoover Dike to Alex Suarez at
<br />91$!Jl;![eZ:@$fwmJLgQ\I. Mr. Suarez can also be reached at (305) 377-7274 ext. 7280.
<br />
<br />Sincerely,
<br />
<br />7/16/2007
