I'm told the bulldozing happening today near River Country is to fill in the pools and other locations of standing water. That is to eliminate potential breeding areas for mosquitos, and is a Zika prevention measure. Sadly, not River Country DVC.

Wait. Theyre being proactive? Cant wait to see the end result. Was bad enough seeing the ruins from the pavilion, now there will be rubble.

Pictures?
I wonder how many Gator nests are in that area too? Wonder if it has anything to do with that.

If pictures exist, I would have been asked not to share them.

I would think something like that would require a water management permit which I haven't seen.

They are all technically pools as far as I know, and unconnected to the waterways

Interesting! It's about time. I'd love to see RC alive again but it's just gross and time to move on. That's a good chunk of property as well.

Whoa, that never crossed my mind but who knows.

There has definitely been a push recently to remove any areas of standing water.

Ah, ok, that would make sense.

They would still need a permit wouldn't they? Not from water management I mean, they get permits for just about everything including electrical updates etc..

Not necessarily, there is a cost threshold under which a Notice of Commencement is not needed.
