TAVARES — The St. Johns River Water Management District has filed suit against the owners of an 80-acre dig site in Sorrento in an operation first criticized by Florida’s Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried in November.
Kirk and Stephen Leiffer, as trustees of the C & K Family Trust, are violating an administrative order to stop collecting dirt on the 80-acre White Water Farms, the circuit civil suit filed Wednesday claims.
White Water leases the land from the Leiffers and the trust.
The Leiffers signed a $2.2 million contract with SEMA Construction for 700,000 cubic yards of fill dirt. About 200,000 cubic yards has been excavated so far, according to the water district. Digging began in April.
