Description
The parties to this appeal were previously before us in United States v. Joseph G. Moretti, Inc., 5 Cir. 1973, 478 F.2d 418 (" Moretti, Inc. "). The litigation derives from the dredging and filling of Florida Bay by Moretti in 1970, in the course of excavating canals for a mobile home project on land Moretti owned at Hammer Point on Key Largo, one of the Florida Keys. Initially the district court found that Morettis filling of navigable waters (Florida Bay), involving 400,000 cubic yards of earth, was in violation of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, 33 U.S.C.A. § 403, because Moretti had not secured a permit for the construction work from the Army Corps of Engineers. The court enjoined Moretti from conducting further dredge and fill work, and ordered it to undo that dredge and fill work already completed. S.D.Fla., 1971, 331 F. Supp. 151.
