The environment -- and particularly water quality -- is a top issue on the Treasure Coast. Senator Gayle Harrell is committed to cleaning up our waterways and stopping toxic discharges from Lake Okeechobee. Just this year, Gayle supported record funding for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection including $318 million for Everglades restoration and $237 million in water quality improvements. Gayle also spearheaded the Clean Waterways Act, a science-driven bill that transforms policy regarding septic tanks, biosolids, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, as well as agriculture. Gayle Harrell is focused on finding meaningful solutions to the water quality issues our community faces.
