The developers of the Preserve at Deer Run were fined and also compelled to take corrective actions to bring their development back into compliance.  From the Engineer of Record for the project:

"NWFWMD issued a consent order today which included tasks and timelines required to bring the project into compliance. The consent order also included a $24,000.00 fine.

No written documentation from the USCOE and FDEP have been issued as far as I know"

This development's issues were spotlighted last week by a concerned citizen that visited the site, took videos, and posted on social media.  Additionally, this individual sent an email blast (below) to multiple entities and state agencies.  Someone was obviously paying attention, and today, according to the engineer of record, these sanctions were handed down to the developer.
