The county couldn't care less about regulations--even if silt fencing is put up on Day 1, by Day 2 it is in tatters and remains that way throughout the entire time. (Of course you know how the country deals with such violations judging from what happened to your property.)
A friend of mine wanted me to photograph his property and the two adjacent properties next to him. It is my understanding that my friend is concerned, because the adjacent property owner where the land has been cleared recently may not have received permit(s) to clear the trees and bulldoze their property. Being that the land cleared is classified as Wetlands by State and Federal Regulations it would be necessary for the property owner to apply for a permit with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). Then upon the Corps approval the property owner would be required to apply for a permit with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Then upon the FDEP’s permit approval the property owner would be required to obtain final approval from Santa Rosa County (SRC).
Furthermore, the cleared property adjacent to my friend did not have any silt fencing on any of the adjacent property owner’s boundary lines or on the county roads as indicated in my photos. This is in direct violation of Wetlands regulations of both the Corps and the FDEP. Even if the land were not Wetlands, but were classified as Uplands, silt fencing would be required of the property owner to protect the adjacent properties and public roads in accordance with (SRC).
I have experienced myself what can happen to your residential property when an adjacent property owner does not abide my federal and state Wetlands regulations. To learn how my property was totally destroyed by a reckless adjacent property owner go to http://www.heartofnavarre.com. My website has 1,507 high resolution photos to show the before and after of my property.

This is residential construction? What are these photos showing?
