Business Support Letters About the Resource • The Rodman Dam was constructed in 1968 as part of the Cross Florida Barge Canal project. • The damming of the Ocklawaha River flooded more than 7,500 acres of forested wetlands, 16 miles of river and at least 20 springs. • The Ocklawaha River flows north/northeast. It is joined by the Silver River near Ocala, continuing until reaching the St. Johns River in Putnam County. It is the largest tributary of the St. Johns River. • Benefits of restoration extend well beyond Putnam County from the headwaters of the Ocklawaha in Lake County to the estuaries of the St. Johns River in Duval County and beyond. • Restoration has been identified as one of three essential components of the Silver Springs Basin Plan and an essential action to improve water quality in the St. Johns River. • One scientist called it “the Everglades of the north” but with a cost less than one Everglades restoration project. The economic and environmental return on investment would be unprecedented. • The actual restoration area is in Putnam and Marion Counties, but benefits a large regional area.
