State eyes expanded Grayton Dunes bid by CARL review
Vanita Tripp reports that as Grayton Dunes faces a public auction the state seeks to enlarge its purchase area. DNR Director James McFarland said CARL could consider buying the full 800 acres from the FDIC, plus adjacent beach and nearby land, to strengthen competition against developers. If approved, surveys and maps would follow, with final signoff by governor and cabinet. Congressman Earl Hutto studies adding the land to Gulf Islands National Seashore.

Unusual Delay Lets Blue Mountain Landfill Stay Open
The Blue Mountain landfill in South Walton remains unofficially open while state orders to close it are contested. Walton County planners and the Mosquito Control District cite unclear communication over closure responsibility, with the district holding the lease though the county faces possible fines for noncompliance. State officials from DER and DEA assess the situation, noting the site is not officially closed as of the December 30, 1983 deadline.
