​

• Lake water maintains the appropriate quality as measured monthly and reported by the Pond Watch Committee.

• Lakes drain and filter effectively into the Preserve area and from there into Matlacha Pass.

• Lake shorelines are maintained and effective erosion control is in place.

• Preserves are relatively free of invasives, maintained within the area designated as preserves, and with native vegetation protected according to our SWFMD permit.

• Surface water drainage is effectively managed via culverts, swales, ditches and other strategies that are maintained and kept clear.

• The Community is well-educated on their responsibilities relative to maintaining an effective surface water management strategy.
