What this means

Several property owners and contractors were ordered to correct issues involving missing permits, weeds, erosion controls, seawalls, permitted use, litter, stormwater, and illegal discharge. Daily fines of up to $100 were set for some cases if violations were not corrected by the deadlines. Other cases were already compliant, moved to January, or had mitigation amounts approved.
