~ (3) The dredging and filling and resultant causeway
and golf course areas constructed in or planned by the Defendants
to be constructed in the Savannas and directly adjacent to the
Savannas can reasonably be expected to be sources of water
pollution as contemplated by Florida Statutes §403.087. It can

~ be harmful to plant, animal, and aquatic life; and that dredging
and filling would result in turbidity in such amounts and
