The St. Johns River Water Management District is expected to refuse
today to issue an "after-the-fact" permit for stormwater and wetlands
work first sought in 2007 by an offsite-parking business near Orlando
International Airport. Complicating matters, the business' longtime
consultant for environmental permitting, John Miklos, is also a member
of the water district's board. "I don't get any special treatment over
this, which is why my client is getting denied," said Miklos, president
of Bio-Tech Consulting Inc. of Orlando.
