DNR cites minimal activity then restart patterns as potential noncompliance and seeks meetings to determine grandfathered status or permit requirements. Developers including Al Christopher, James Earl Ray, Ted Weise, and Frank Yu face possible permit actions with modifications proposed, awaiting one sheet of changes. Continued on Page 9A.

Okaloosa County Seeks 1984 Budget Bridge Projects
County commissioners push for federal funding in the 1984 budget to build a White Point to Piney Point bridge and a Fort Walton Beach to Okaloosa Island link while also prioritizing East Pass Channel dredging and a Destin to Walton County four-laning of US 98. Kronenberg notes likelihood of White Point funding is low. Hutto aides aim to submit a coordinated list within six weeks.
