		The discharge of the Apalachicola River is 21st in magnitude among the rivers of the conterminous United States, and is the largest in Florida, accounting for 35 percent of freshwater flow on the western coast of Florida (Livingston, 1992).
		Eighty percent of the Apalachicola River flow is contributed by the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers, 11 percent from the Chipola River, and less than 10 percent from ground water and overland flow (Elder and others, 1988).
		The Chipola River is classified as a spring-fed river with baseflow derived principally from aquifers.

	Apalachicola River Information
		APALACHICOLA RIVER (Jackson, Gadsden, Calhoun, Gulf, Liberty, and Franklin counties): The Apalachicola River runs from Lake Seminole, on the Florida-Georgia border at Chattahoochee, 106 miles south through the Panhandle to the Gulf of Mexico, at the town of Apalachicola.
		Striped bass and sunshine bass fishing in the lower Apalachicola River and the Intercostal Waterway may be slower this fall than last year because of the low discharge from Lake Seminole during the spring.
		Approximately 5,000 of the striped bass released in the Apalachicola River were marked with anchor tags attached to the fish’s belly.

	GORP - Apalachicola National Forest - Florida - Canoeing
		The Ochlockonee River is the longest river in the National Forests in Florida.
		The level of this river depends greatly on recent rainfall, so that although it is floatable as far up as the bridge over Forest Highway 13 nearly every month throughout the year, daily floating conditions vary constantly.
		However, camping along the river is discouraged because of the extreme and sudden variability of water flows.

	Green Scissors 2001 Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River System
		Although the ACF River system is virtually unused by ships and barges, federal taxpayers spent $12.9 million in fiscal year 2002 year to maintain it.
		Dredging scours the river's bottom, and disposal of that dredge material has already smothered one-quarter of the Apalachicola's banks with mountains of sand, destroying key habitat and choking the area's rich tangle of sloughs, side channels, and wetlands.
		Apalachicola sport fish have been in rapid decline since the practice began in 1990, and the April 2000 navigation window resulted in an almost complete failure of sport fish spawning along the entire Apalachicola River and reservoirs upstream.

		The Apalachicola Bay at the mouth of the river system includes areas where extreme changes in salinity occur.
		The current regulation of river flows by reservoir storage and by intensive water withdrawals has eliminated much of the floodplain and the dynamic habitats it provided for plants and animals.

	Northwest Region, Florida Fishing Sites and Forecast
		The lower Apalachicola River consists of the main river channel and the distributaries which form the delta: the St. Marks River, Little St. Marks River, and East River.
		Good access to the lower river is provided by boat ramps in Milton (Carpenters Park, north of downtown Milton, just off Highway 191, and also a new ramp just north of Highway 90, on the east side of the river opposite downtown Milton) and in Bagdad (improved landing east of downtown Bagdad, off Highway 191).
		Fishing should be excellent throughout the summer in the lower, tidal reaches of the river; however, fishing success in the middle and upper upper river depends largely upon water levels.

	Project Vote Smart - Public Statements
		Madam President, the locals call it “God's country.” The Apalachicola River, beginning at the confluence of the Chattachoochee and Flint River, near the borders of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia, was and remains an important waterway in the southeast.
		In its heyday, the Apalachicola was an important tributary that served as the largest port of the Gulf of Mexico-harboring ships carrying cotton to Europe and New England.
		The designation of the Apalachicola as one of the nation's most endangered rivers should be a wake-up call to Congress and the Army Corps of Engineers to permanently end the dredging of the Apalachicola and allow the river to return to its natural state free of man's manipulation.

	Florida - Apalachicola River and Bay
		The Apalachicola River is formed by the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers, which flow from the Appalachian foothills to Apalachicola Bay, one of the most productive and pristine estuaries in the Northern Hemisphere.
		The Apalachicola River supports the highest diversity of freshwater fish species in the state.
		On the river, reservoir operations and water withdrawals from the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers have changed the Apalachicola’s natural flow, threatening the survival of native species and cutting off the state’s largest forested floodplain.

		But, give them four years and the 100,000 stripers being released in the lower Apalachicola River over the next several weeks should weigh 8 - 9 pounds and provide anglers with plenty of excitement.
		River modifications on the other hand, are still problems fisheries biologists recognize as impediments to natural striped bass reproduction in several native rivers, hence the need to stock stripers periodically.
		On the Chipola River, which drains into the Apalachicola, the State of Florida removed the Dead Lake Dam in 1987, and fisheries biologists have since observed stripers in deep springs on the Chipola well above the site of the old dam.

	Coastal America: Project Summary - Apalachicola River Slough Restoration
		An approximately 55-foot wide by 200-foot long channel was excavated by barge-mounted dragline at the mouth of the spring, extending from the natural river channel to the mouth and into the mouth of the creek as far as the crane could reach without destroying adjacent trees (approximately 50 feet).
		Approximately 1400 cubic yards of excavated material was deposited in the river on the downstream side of the proposed channel., so the material would not wash back into the excavated hole, and with the intent that subsequent flood flows would recapture the material into the river bed load.
		Restoration of the mouths of streams and sloughs along the Apalachicola River, on a case-by-case basis, in coordination with the Florida agencies, is currently a condition of water quality certification from FDEP.

		He said if water flow in the Apalachicola River were not augmented by releases from Lake Lanier and other federal dams on the Chattahoochee, the Florida river would have less than half the water it has now.
		The Corps said it had to tap Lake Lanier because Florida's Apalachicola River, of which the Chattahoochee and the Flint rivers are the main tributaries, is too low for the creatures to spawn.
		Hobby said transportation from the Apalachicola River to the Flint River was a variable because federal funding for operation of the locks at Chattahoochee, Fla. had to be renewed regularly.
