14 trimming those. So I assume you're good with those. 14 Q And what other areas besides that part of B, D and C?
15 Q Well, actually C you know is part of an enforcement 15 A There's also a section of A, also the very westerly end
16 action, isn't it? 16 of A.
17 A You tell me. 17 Q Can you point to it for me?
18 Q Well, the settlement agreement is separate from the 18 A Yeah, something like from here over (indicating).
19 enforcement action. And, in fact, just so you're aware -- 19 Q So, indicating sort of below the A, and then heading
20 A I'm not an attorney. 20 west on the diagram.
21 Q I know, but so you know I'll help here. 21 A Correct. And then, I would also add that under the
22 Negotiations and things discussed during settlement 22 historical trimming stuff, some of the lateral growth to areas
23 agreement we actually can't use in other proceedings, just so 23 outside of that are also subject to trimming entitlement.
24 you know. 24 Q I'm not understanding what you're saying.
25 A Oh! So, I'm not supposed to talk about that here. 25 Are you saying outside of the area --
Page 103 Page 105
1 Q Because, you know, we can agree to all sorts of things 1 A Outside of the -- sorry.
2 in settlement agreements. 2 Q You said outside the area labeled as A?

6 A It is part of the enforcement action against me; 6 under that. Including, for example, the deep water channel on
7 however, in my opinion, it is clearly covered as exempt, not 7 either side of it. Infringement into that area is also covered
8 requiring permitting. 8 under historical trimming rights, because it's been maintained
9 Q Okay. So, you think D and C. 9 that way for extended periods of time and it interferes with
10 A Yeah. 10 navigable waterways.
11 Q What other areas do you believe -- 11 Q The parts of A that you identified, the parts of B that
12 A And I would say part of B, probably half to two-thirds 12 you identified, D and C, do you believe that's all subject to
13 of B also apply. 13 exempt trimming?
14 Q Can you show me which half to two-thirds of B you're 14 A Yes. Hold on.
15 talking about? 15 Q I'm sorry. I meant historical trimming.
16 A Well, the easterly half or two-thirds. 16 A Rephrase the question, please.
17 MR. LEARY: Is there a compass on this? 17 Q Yeah. My question is: You said that you believe that
18 THE WITNESS: I don't -- I mean, I'd have to go out 18 you could trim parts of A, parts of B, D and C without a Class 1
19 to the property, walk it off and then show you on here. But 19 permit.
20 somewhere in here is probably the edge of -- from here to 20 Is the exemption that you believe that that trimming is
21 here (indicating). 21 allowed, is it the historical exemption?
22 BY MR. ANGELL: 22 A It's a combination, but let me also clarify. I

4 that you believe is not trimmable without a Class 1 permit? 4 historically maintained for decades, is that right?
5 A Correct. 5 A I think so.

9 A Yeah, it's been historically maintained at six feet for 9 THE WITNESS: I wasn't here. I wouldn't know.
10 many, many decades. 10 BY MR. ANGELL:
11 Q And Area D, is that also historical? 11 Q What is your understanding of how often maintenance was
12 A Yeah, I think so. 12 done, prior to your purchase of the property, of Area C?
13 Q Is there any other exemption that you believe applies 13 MR. LEARY: Object to the form.
14 to Area D? 14 THE WITNESS: I was not here at the time, so I'd be

24 you ask it again? 24 the deposition. You do.
25 BY MR. ANGELL: 25 So, the question is: What is your understanding of how

Page 107 Page 109


1 Q Okay. The trimming that you do in Area D, is that done 1 often you have to trim an area in order to maintain a historical
2 solely under your belief that you have a historical exemption to 2 trimming exemption?
3 trim in that area? 3 MR. LEARY: Object to the form.
4 A I believe I'm able to trim there because I was told by 4 THE WITNESS: Well, that's an area that I believe
5 DERM it's fine to trim there. 5 the courts are going to rule on, because it's a gray area
6 Q And is the trimming you do in Area C done solely under 6 that, like many other holes in the statutes, are gray areas.
7 your belief that you have a historical exemption to trim in that 7 The Dade County agency has taken a far more aggressive
8 area? 8 enforcement position than the state on the same language.
9 MR. LEARY: Object to the form. 9 So, I think that's going to be up to the courts to decide.
10 THE WITNESS: Maybe not solely, but I believe that 10 BY MR. ANGELL:
11 is true. 11 Q You purchased the property in 2000, correct?
12 BY MR. ANGELL: 12 A Yes.
13 Q Is there anything else besides that belief? 13 Q So, if the entire year before there was no trimming
14 A Well, the act itself, I believe, gives me the right to 14 done in Area C, but it was done in 1998, do you believe that
15 do it under one or more sections, yeah. 15 that's a historically-maintained area under the exemption?
16 Q And the portion of A and B, is that also historical 16 MR. LEARY: Object to the form.
17 trimming that you believe you can do under the historical 17 THE WITNESS: I think you have to take it in the
18 trimming exemption? 18 context of the entire historical period that you're
19 A I think it would also -- 19 referring to.
20 MR. LEARY: Object to the form. 20 If over a period of 40 or 50 years it has been
21 THE WITNESS: I mean, I would have to look at the 21 maintained, on average, at a six-foot level for most of that
22 details, but I also believe that all of the areas we're 22 time period, then certainly.

8 Q Other than the real estate agent, has anybody else told 8 MR. LEARY: Object to the form.
9 you that maintenance was done of the mangroves on the property? 9 THE WITNESS: The property, you could see, was used
10 A I never spoke to the Walbergs. Cliff Kunde may have 10 as a launching point for an ultralight airplane. And you
11 mentioned it. I know Cliff Kunde had mentioned to me that he 11 could tell that the people that were doing it were
12 personally had done maintenance historically over there, 12 consistently trimming areas of the mangroves.
13 including after Andrew and other hurricanes, filling a section 13 BY MR. ANGELL:
14 that washed out soil from the western portion of Section B of 14 Q Which areas of the mangroves do you believe --
15 the island, because -- 15 A I wasn't here. When it was done I don't know, but you
16 Q So, Cliff Kunde told you he maintained part of the 16 could certainly -- I could see the portion that I approached
17 section of B after Hurricane Andrew? 17 when I drove onto the property. So, we know it was done. I'd
18 MR. LEARY: Object to the form. 18 have no way of knowing the extent.

12 maintenance? 12 least one that I saw.
13 A This is why I hired Bob Robinson. 13 Q When did you see the airplane?
14 Q I know that you don't recall the exact year of that. 14 A Very regularly, from before I bought the property, to
15 You said maybe 2002/2003. Let's assume 2001 just for the 15 -- I continued to allow the people that had the agreement with
16 purpose of the question. 16 the Walbergs to use the property, to continue. And they were,
17 A All right. 17 you know, kind enough to trim the mangroves as well.
18 Q If you hired him in 2001, yet if no one had maintained 18 Q Which section of the mangroves were they trimming?
19 those mangroves since 1992 when the Walbergs moved off the 19 A I don't know. I wasn't here. The parts that I could

8 Q So, there were ultralights being launched on the 8 Q -- where it would run down --

10 A I would say so, yeah. 10 Q Sorry. We've got to go one at a time. You can't see
11 Q Who was launching the ultralights? 11 her. I get the looks.
12 A Well, there was a fire captain named Robert Garcia who 12 So, the ultralight would start -- so it's not like it

15 Q Was it just one plane that was launched from there? 15 push it into the water, and from there it would take off?
16 A Yes, as far as I know. I mean, there might have been 16 A Correct. The wheels were only on the trailer, not on
17 others, but that was the one that was regularly launched there 17 the airplane. The airplane had pontoons on it, so it had to be
18 during that period. 18 launched from the water. So, we would take it from wherever it
19 Q Where was the plane kept when it wasn't being launched? 19 was, and push it out into the water. And probably, depending on
20 A It would be taken apart and put on its trailer and 20 tide, it might have been launched out of here, or it might have
21 driven away. 21 been -- I don't know. Anywhere and everywhere potentially.
22 And after the house was constructed, the garage 22 Q Did it always land in the water on its return?
23 actually was designed to fit the ultralight, so it was kept 23 A Yeah, I don't recall any accidents, so yes.

8 Q Did he launch for himself to fly, or for other people? 8 A The channel.
9 A Yeah, it was a two-seater, so he would take other 9 Q The channel?

13 Q On how many occasions did you go up in it? 13 had been trimmed?
14 A Probably a dozen. 14 MR. LEARY: Object to the form.
15 Q Did it always launch from the same area of your 15 THE WITNESS: As I said before, I don't know

17 A That's a good question. Technically no, but 17 BY MR. ANGELL:

23 Q Did it ever take off from the land itself -- 23 Q From the time period between 1999 and 2001 we'll say.
24 A Yeah. 24 A Did I observe anything? No.
25 Q -- or was it always taking off from the water? 25 Q Did you remember, between 1999 and 2001, seeing any

8 BY MR. ANGELL: 8 Q Do you know if it was more than one person?
9 Q No. Did you see evidence? 9 A I don't recall. I know there's some pictures of that,
10 A Oh, evidence? 10 so we could figure it out.
11 Q Yes. 11 Q When you were there, and Ms. Clingerman was there back
12 A Yeah. 12 in 2001, what was her purpose of being on your property?
13 Q Where? 13 MR. LEARY: Object to the form.
14 A I actually saw some being done in the area there 14 THE WITNESS: Well, only she would know the real

3 p.m. until 1:55 p.m.) 3 paperwork that just needed to be filled out.
4 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We are back on record, the time 4 So, after the fact, I learned that it was to get a
5 is 1:55 p.m. 5 permit issued to trim the mangroves in a certain manner.
6 MR. ANGELL: Just for the record, all the same 6 Q And that's a permit that was applied for by Mr.
7 parties are in the room. 7 Robinson on your behalf?
8 BY MR. ANGELL: 8 A Correct, yeah.
9 Q Mr. Dubois, when we left off we were talking about the 9 Q So, Mr. Robinson had already been on the property prior
10 ultralight aircraft that used to fly from your property, between 10 to Ms. Clingerman's first time on the property in 2001?
11 the years 1999 and 2008. 11 A Of course.
12 During that time period, at some point DERM personnel 12 Q And are you aware of whether or not Mr. Robinson took
13 were on your property in the early 2000's, is that correct? 13 measurements of the mangrove height when he was on your
14 A Yes. 14 property?
15 Q In fact, JoAnne Clingerman had been on your property in 15 A Well, I believe he provided me with a sketch, or
16 2001, is that right? 16 provided DERM with a sketch that I saw, at some point subsequent

4 BY MR. ANGELL: 4 maintenance on that, because I did not bring it to his
5 Q If you'd like. I have 1000 copies. 5 attention, nor did I know it, at that particular time.
6 A Okay -- was that there was one mangrove marked, which 6 BY MR. ANGELL:
7 was right about in here (indicating). Maybe I need a pen. 7 Q So, I assume that would be the same answer as far as
8 Q Here. (Counsel hands pen to witness.) 8 what Ms. Clingerman's measurements would be.
9 A Right about in here, (indicating), that was over 24. 9 Would you expect, if there was historic maintenance
10 It was listed at 26 feet, and it was a red mangrove. And it is 10 being done in Area C, that Ms. Clingerman's measurements of Area
11 actually the mangrove that you can see clearly in the aerials of 11 C would be six feet in height?
12 2005, in October, from the October aerial before you had Wilma, 12 MR. LEARY: Object to the form and object to the
13 that it was full-grown. And you could see right after Wilma 13 relevance.

15 and, as I mentioned before, the tall trees are the ones that 15 just said.
16 usually get hit by winds, and that's why they shouldn't be 16 BY MR. ANGELL:
17 allowed to grow that tall, for erosion protection. That one, 17 Q If the area labeled C on Exhibit 1 was historically
18 and others next to it, were clearly knocked down by the winds, 18 maintained at a height of six feet, would you expect Ms.
19 and you could see that in the next month's aerial photographs. 19 Clingerman's measurements from 2001 to be at, or near, the six

3 A If you would show me the sketch, I could confirm or 3 THE WITNESS: No, I'm not saying the average would

7 Q Did you ever see Ms. Clingerman's measurements of the 7 samples maybe over the last 40 or 50 years, more times than

18 MR. LEARY: Object to the form of that question. 18 MR. LEARY: Object to the form.
19 THE WITNESS: Yeah, they were designed -- the way 19 THE WITNESS: Well, I didn't say that. You did.
20 it works is when you have a house that's being built on 20 And it was his job to figure that out.
21 unstable ground where you can't put a pad, like you normally 21 BY MR. ANGELL:
22 do, of fresh lime rock, you put pilings in. And the 22 Q I'll rephrase it.
23 engineers do the calculations and figure out how many are 23 Do you know if the areas outside the keep-away area
24 needed to hold up the house. 24 marked by Steve Carney were not wetlands?
25 They drill 30-foot holes, or so. They put rebar in 25 A Were not, or were?

1 them. They fill them up with concrete, and then they tie 1 Q Were not.
2 one, two or three of them together, and put something called 2 A It was my understanding, at the time...because of the
3 pile caps on top. So, it's like a little cup on top of this 3 last minute crap that we had to deal with from DERM...we had
4 thing. So, that's the pile cap. 4 very few days before everything was going to expire, and they

6 which are these giant concrete joists that are basically 6 building codes, and start everything all over. We had to get
7 placed in the foundation of the house, and then the house 7 this thing done in like a matter of a couple of days.
8 sits on top of the grade beams. Then they use fill to fill 8 So, Steve Carney basically said: Look, I'm just going
9 in between all the grade beams so that there's no animals 9 to eyeball this, walk around with red spray paint and draw a
10 that can nest underneath, otherwise it would be hollow 10 line that we know is safe for the Ferguson barriers to put in,
11 underneath the house. That's the point of the pilings. And 11 in order that we're not going to infringe on wetlands.
12 the pilings not only were required to hold the house, but 12 So, to me, my interpretation is clearly that meant that
13 they required me to put pilings underneath the swimming 13 was upland of where the wetlands were.

16 company put in the pilings before doing that? 16 (Whereupon, document was marked as Plaintiff's
17 A Well, there were definitely soil samples done before 17 Exhibit No. 4 for identification to the deposition.)
18 they started making the holes. 18 BY MR. ANGELL:
19 Q Did you ever see what the results of those soil samples 19 Q Have you seen this document before?
20 were? 20 A Yes.
21 A I probably read it. I think it's called the 21 Q When did you first see this document?
22 geotechnical or something...he probably would know better than I 22 A So, this is the document that was made -- again, we
23 would (indicating Mr. Ricisak)...the report that had to be done. 23 were on very short number of days before everything expired
24 I probably read it back during, you know, when the construction 24 because of what DERM had done by serializing all of their

3 Steve Carney went and sprayed his red line. I then had 3 as that's where we put the barrier, we would stop the silt
4 Task Surveyors come immediately the next morning after the red 4 from getting into the bay or into the waters.
5 spray paint was down, and I told them to mark on their survey an 5 BY MR. ANGELL:
6 outline of my property where that red line was put, and call it 6 Q And everything south and east of that line was an area
7 this. That was my direction and Steve Carney's direction to the 7 that Steve Carney denoted as a keepaway from, right?
8 surveyors. 8 A No. He said that's a safe place to put the barrier to
9 Q So, you directed the surveyors to call that "location 9 ensure that we don't possibly infringe, and without further,
10 of jurisdictional wetland"? 10 in-depth analysis this was the safest place to put it.
11 A Probably. 11 Q Was any further in-depth analysis done of the area
12 Q Steve Carney -- I mean, that's consistent. See, Steve 12 south and east of what's marked as the jurisdictional wetland
13 Carney says he did not tell them to call it that. 13 line even though it was a keepaway line --
14 A Yeah. 14 A There was no reason to --
15 Q He had no idea where that came from. 15 Q -- by anybody prior to the construction of the home
16 A I probably did because the paperwork I got from DERM 16 being completed?
17 probably had that term on it, and I just -- I didn't know what 17 A No. It was the first time we were asked, was days
18 it was, so that's what I told him to write on here, most likely. 18 before the 365 days was going to expire.
19 Q The line that he sprayed is, in fact, represented on 19 Is there a date on this thing?
20 Exhibit 4 as a jurisdictional wetland line, correct? 20 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: You have 5 minutes left.
21 MR. LEARY: Object to the form. 21 MR. ANGELL: Okay.
22 THE WITNESS: Yeah, we went over this in the last 22 THE WITNESS: Yeah, it's dated February 13th of
23 EQCB, and we made it clear that that's a keepaway line. 23 '03. We had just a very few number of days before the
24 It's just mislabeled on this, but yes. 24 one-year mark would expire, thanks to DERM. So, we were
25 BY MR. ANGELL: 25 given this requirement at the last minute by DERM, and we
Page 183 Page 185
1 Q Yeah, I've read the transcript. 1 had to get it done as quickly as possible, and we did the
2 A Okay. 2 best we could.
3 Q I know the testimony. 3 BY MR. ANGELL:
4 So, it is labeled, and it's labeled that way by -- 4 Q When you retained Steve Carney for the purpose of your
5 (Phone rings.) 5 initial appeal to the EQCB, what instructions did you give Mr.
6 A By Task Surveyors. 6 Carney?
7 Q It is labeled that way by Task Surveyors. 7 MR. LEARY: Object to the form.
8 Did you also direct them to label it that, in addition 8 THE WITNESS: What do you mean by the "initial
9 to the label on there? 9 appeal to the EQCB"?
10 A I think I did. I think it was me that did that. And 10 BY MR. ANGELL:
11 it's probably based on something, some document that either the11 Q Well, we're on the second appeal. I'm talking about
12 architects or somebody handed me, and I just -- or maybe 12 the first time -- well, let me rephrase the question.
13 something the plans processor handed it to me, and I probably 13 A No, it wasn't the first time --
14 just pulled it off of some document I found. 14 Q There was an appeal -- there was a prior proceeding

2 Q Did you define Mr. Carney's scope of work for that 2 Q Did you ask him to dig test holes in 2013?

4 MR. LEARY: Object to the form of that question. 4 like getting the ADID for us. He went back and did some
5 THE WITNESS: I did not. My attorney did. 5 overlays with the GPS overlays, or whatever they do with the

7 Q Did you ever speak to Mr. Carney about what his 7 canopy that he was arguing with the DERM people over, something
8 testimony should be before the EQCB? 8 like that, but that was all related to the EQCB. So, I think
9 A I did not. My attorney did. 9 the answer to your question is no.
10 Q I'm referring to May 9th, 2013. The first session -- 10 Q Did he ever go back on your property in 2013?
11 let me jump back. 11 A For what?
12 The first time that you had Mr. Carney in your 12 Q Was he ever on your property in 2013?

14 MR. LEARY: Object to the form of that question. 14 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We have two minutes left.
15 THE WITNESS: I don't remember. I didn't even 15 MR. ANGELL: Okay. Well, we'll break so you can
16 remember that...what's his name?...Swakon worked for me, 16 change it.
17 until I found the paperwork. 17 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Off the record. The time is
18 BY MR. ANGELL: 18 3:30 p.m.
19 Q After the initial time that you hired him, and then 19 (Whereupon, a brief recess was taken from 3:30 p.m.
20 obviously you hired him again in 2013, was there any time in 20 until 3:39 p.m.)
21 between that you used him again? 21 THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We are back on the record. The
22 A I don't think so. I don't recall any. 22 time is 3:39 p.m.
23 Q Did Mr. Carney do any additional work in preparation 23 BY MR. ANGELL:
24 for the 2013 EQCB hearing? 24 Q We were talking about Mr. Carney when we broke.
25 MR. LEARY: Object to the form. 25 Have you ever read Carney's report that he did for you

Page 187 Page 189


1 THE WITNESS: What do you mean? 1 in 2002?
2 BY MR. ANGELL: 2 A Yes, a couple of times, but not recently.
3 Q Well, he had done work on your property initially when 3 Q When was the last time you read it?
4 you originally hired him -- 4 A Probably four years ago.
5 A Right. 5 Q At the EQCB hearing on June 3rd of 2013, Carney
6 Q -- that led to this diagram, Exhibit 4. You know he 6 testified that he had no reason to dispute John Ricisak's
7 did test pits and wrote a report that no one has ever seen, and 7 position that there were mangroves in the southern boundary of

11 additional work in 2013 in preparation for the EQCB hearing? 11 BY MR. ANGELL:
12 MR. LEARY: Object to the form of that question. 12 Q Do you recall him testifying as to that?
13 Was that a question? 13 A I recall him being tripped up by Tom Robertson, and
14 THE WITNESS: Just one more time. 14 basically appearing to take both sides of a particular question
15 BY MR. ANGELL: 15 because of the way the question was phrased. So, I really don't
16 Q Sure. Did you have him do any additional work on your 16 know.
17 property in preparation for the 2013 EQCB hearing? 17 Q So, you do not recall, or you don't have any -- you
18 A When you say additional work -- 18 don't remember the testimony? Let me ask it this way.
19 MR. LEARY: Object to form. 19 Do you remember Steve Carney giving testimony about the
20 THE WITNESS: -- you mean work unrelated to his 20 presence of mangroves in Area E?
21 testimony in the EQCB? 21 MR. LEARY: Object to the form of that question. I
22 BY MR. ANGELL: 22 believe that is not accurate.
23 Q I mean work unrelated. I mean, did he do anything 23 THE WITNESS: I was there when he spoke. I could

2 Q Which very annoying thing would that be? 2 in the corner in between A and C, that I would be happy to take
3 A Well, he had said repeatedly throughout that the 3 back up, if that would make everybody happy.
4 exhibit that was marked on the survey as a wetland delineation 4 Q Do you recall who you made that statement to at DERM?
5 was clearly as a keep-away boundary line. 5 A I think it made it publicly at the EQCB.
6 And then Attorney Robertson started doing: If this, 6 Q On the record?
7 then this. And just tricked him into answering the question 7 A I think so.
8 that conflicted with what he said earlier, basically saying 8 Q Well, you were displeased with Mr. Carney's testimony,
9 that: If that is true, then didn't Mr. Dubois illegally, or 9 is that correct?
10 violate this or that? And he just took advantage of Carney's 10 A Yes, because he got tripped up by -- you know, because
11 weaknesses. 11 of legal gymnastics by Tom Robertson.
12 Q Well, referring to Exhibit 3, Mr. Carney testified that 12 Q You didn't pay Mr. Carney for his services, is that
13 in the area that is E there's a strip of vegetation that used to 13 correct?
14 be there and was removed, and palm trees were subsequently 14 MR. LEARY: Object to relevance.
15 placed there. 15 THE WITNESS: No, that's not correct.
16 Do you remember that testimony? 16 BY MR. ANGELL:
17 MR. LEARY: Object to the form. 17 Q Did you pay Mr. Carney for his services?
18 THE WITNESS: In E? I don't -- I know that was 18 A I did pay him for his services, yes.
19 discussed. I could not tell you that I recall a single 19 Q When did you pay him for his services?
20 specific statement of his about that. 20 MR. LEARY: I object to any questions regarding
21 BY MR. ANGELL: 21 payments paid to Steve Carney.
22 Q Do you recall Mr. Carney testifying that sod was placed 22 THE WITNESS: There were multiple payments made
23 in the area that's identified as E in Exhibit 3? 23 over time, from 2003 to his work during the EQCB.
24 MR. LEARY: Object to the form. Not a question. 24 BY MR. ANGELL:
25 THE WITNESS: Well, I testified that sod was put by 25 Q Mr. Carney has testified that you never paid him for

1 me, in between kind of the corner of A and C. And I believe 1 his services in 2013.
2 I also mentioned that, yeah, sod was put down in Area E with 2 MR. LEARY: Object to the form. That's not
3 some top soil underneath it. 3 accurate.
4 BY MR. ANGELL: 4 THE WITNESS: That's not true.
5 Q Do you remember testimony that sod is fill? 5 BY MR. ANGELL:
6 MR. LEARY: Object to the form. 6 Q You sent Mr. Carney an e-mail telling him that you were
7 THE WITNESS: The only thing I remember, relative 7 displeased with his testimony.
8 to somebody calling sod fill, was that one of the EQCB board 8 Do you remember doing that?
9 members, in his deliberation said he does not consider sod 9 A I don't recall, but I'd be happy to send one today
10 fill. That's the only thing I recall. 10 reiterating that.
11 BY MR. ANGELL: 11 Q In fact, after the EQCB, you e-mailed Mr. Carney saying
12 Q Do you remember actual testimony from Mr. Carney that 12 that you were "very disappointed" with his testimony.
13 sod is fill? 13 A I told you that he fell victim to legal gymnastics by
14 MR. LEARY: Object to the form. Object to 14 Tom Robertson where he had already answered the question
15 relevance. 15 properly, and Tom tricked him into saying the opposite.
16 THE WITNESS: I probably said it myself, and I 16 Q Do you recall writing in that e-mail to Mr. Carney that
17 offered to pay to remove the 20 foot by 30 foot piece of sod 17 the obvious answer he should have given was that the area
18 on the corner of A and C, if they had a big issue with it. 18 denoted as E is not a wetland, and that sod should not be
19 BY MR. ANGELL: 19 considered illegal fill?
20 Q I'm sorry. Your recollection is that you testified 20 A I don't think I said that, unless you have a copy of
21 that you would be willing to remove the sod from the corner 21 it. I mean, I'd like to see it, and I will tell you if I did or
22 of -- 22 didn't.
23 A I don't know if I made the offer during the testimony, 23 Q Well, we may not get to it today, but you will see it.
24 but I made the offer to DERM, and I think I've said on the 24 Was Mr. Carney paid in full for his work done in 2013?

2 questions regarding payments made to Mr. Carney. 2 Q So, I'm not clear.
3 THE WITNESS: Am I supposed to answer the question 3 What do you believe that the lie or the confusion in
4 or not? 4 his testimony was?
5 BY MR. ANGELL: 5 A If you show me the transcripts I will read it to you
6 Q Yeah. 6 then I'll go ahead and explain it to you.
7 MR. LEARY: You can answer it. 7 Q I'm trying to find his testimony so it won't take you
8 THE WITNESS: He was paid for the vast majority of 8 as long.
9 the work he did. And the stuff he billed for the 9 A As long as it doesn't take you past 4:30 we're good.
10 preparation of the EQCB, there was payment withheld at the 10 Q When is the last time -- you've never read this
11 end for failure to perform his duties. 11 transcript, have you?
12 BY MR. ANGELL: 12 A Are you kidding me? Why would I read that? That's
13 Q What duties did he fail to perform? 13 Jeff's job.
14 A The one would we just discussed. Effectively he 14 MR. LEARY: It's at the bottom of one of the pages
15 represented himself as somebody that was competent to testify as 15 I'm sure.
16 an expert witness. 16 MR. ANGELL: He said he wants to find it. It
17 Q So, if I understand correctly, you withheld payment -- 17 starts here. It may take us longer.
18 well, partial payment of Mr. Carney because you disagreed with 18 MR. LEARY: You want him to look over all of
19 how he testified at the EQCB hearing? 19 Carney?
20 A No, because he lied inadvertently because he tripped up 20 MR. ANGELL: I want him to tell me where in Mr.
21 on the legal gymnastics of Tom Robertson, and effectively lied 21 Carney's transcript he believes Mr. Carney --
22 and buried me with that lie. 22 MR. LEARY: May I find it?
23 Q So, it's your position that Mr. Carney -- well, I'm 23 MR. ANGELL: -- was confused or lied.
24 just not clear. You are either saying Mr. Carney got confused, 24 Unfortunately you can't ask questions of your client.
25 and then said something in error, or he lied. 25 I would say, though, that -- here you go.
Page 195 Page 197
1 A Correct. One of the two. He didn't intentionally lie. 1 THE WITNESS: Okay. Where am I supposed to start?
2 He got tripped up by Tom Robertson. Even though he had already 2 It was Carney being questioned by Robertson, right?
3 stated the opposite multiple times during the hearing, the one 3 BY MR. ANGELL:
4 time, at the end, that he got tripped up, he basically said: 4 Q I just started you at the very start of Mr. Carney's
5 Yes, if that is true, then this is true. And if that is true, 5 testimony.
6 this is true. The transitive properties of math were applied by 6 A You want me to read through all of this?
7 Robertson: But A doesn't equal C in that scenario. And he said 7 Q If you want me to bring you to that portion, I can do
8 it did because he didn't understand connecting the dots, and he 8 that.
9 effectively lied or got confused and said the opposite of what 9 A Here we go.
10 he said. And then, that one misrepresentation that he made, was 10 Q What page?
11 put in the final or the EQCB memorandum thing. 11 A I think we're on 169.
12 MR. LEARY: Drafted by Mr. Ricisak. 12 Yes, here it is.
13 MR. ANGELL: I'm sorry. Is that an objection? 13 (Whereupon, witness peruses documents.)
14 THE WITNESS: Drafted by Mr. Ricisak. 14 (Comments held off the record.)
15 MR. LEARY: It's part of one. 15 THE WITNESS: Instead of wasting another -- why
16 MR. ANGELL: Well, let's not. 16 don't we --
17 THE WITNESS: Yeah, I mean. So, he basically did 17 MR. ANGELL: We'll move on.
18 not perform his duties as an expert witness. An expert 18 THE WITNESS: Put this on the list for next time,

21 that's exactly what happened. 21 Q That's fine. Thank you.

2 A With whom? 2 A Hard one to remember. (305) 218-5577. He could give
3 Q The son, Mike? 3 you his son's number.
4 A No. I probably haven't spoken to him in four years, 4 Q So, back to Steve Carney, when you were talking about
5 five years. 5 Mr. Carney, which we talked briefly about, withholding some of
6 Q Did you speak to the former superintendent? 6 his payment because he held himself out as being an expert
7 A His father, yeah. 7 witness, and then didn't testify in that manner.
8 Q So, if I ask your lawyer, can you provide that kind of 8 A Well, in my view, he's not competent as an expert
9 information, if you still have it? 9 witness based on his performance.
10 A Yes, yes. No problem. 10 Q Do you believe he's an expert in the field of wetland
11 Q Also, earlier on Mr. Chapman, while he didn't do the 11 delineation?
12 septic service at your house, you said you met him a number of 12 A I believe he's an expert in his area, but I do not
13 times. 13 believe he's an expert witness.
14 Was it in relation to the property? 14 Q What's the difference?
15 A No, not a number of times. I've met him. I'm trying 15 A The difference is he just sits at home and write
16 to think where I met him. I don't actually recall where I met 16 reports after he figures the stuff out. He has no business

19 rephrase that. 19 Q Did you retain Steve Carney for Steve Carney to produce
20 Was he ever on your property during the construction of 20 a specific result that you wanted produced?
21 it? 21 A We retained Steve Carney because he was very competent
22 A Yeah, I believe he provided a bid to the general 22 back in 2002 and 2003. I had no reason to believe he wasn't
23 contractor, and I think that's probably when I met him, but I 23 competent, and I didn't really work with him that much. My

1 that bid? 1 So, I had never seen him before doing expert testimony.
2 A To do what? 2 And he claimed that he was -- that was one of his services as an

4 that bid, if you know? 4 it. Some people are not. In my opinion, he's not competent as

6 Q Other than just meeting with him, do you remember any 6 Q We keep -- maybe I'm confusing terms. You keep using
7 substantive conversations you had with Joe Chapman? 7 "expert witness," but isn't Steve Carney an expert who was a
8 A Not really. 8 witness?

9 A No. 9 BY MR. ANGELL:
10 Q When you hired Rainer Schael, did you hire Rainer 10 Q And my question is: Did you retain Mr. Schael to do an
11 Schael to produce a specific result? 11 independent assessment of your property?
12 A He was hired to do the analysis that we were required, 12 A I think what you need to understand...and that you're
13 just like every other environmental expert I've ever hired. 13 missing completely from a context point of view, or
14 Q Was he hired to give an independent analysis? 14 intentionally misdirecting...is the fact that most of the time
15 A I didn't hire him. Ask my attorney. He was hired to 15 when people that have enforcement actions are required to get
16 do the report that was ordered by the court. 16 independent reports done, they hire an attorney and then they

18 language right; I don't want to tell you the wrong thing. 18 questions of people that are most knowledgeable on the subject

23 As you sit here, do you understand that to have been 23 It is not normal for an expert to do that with an

11 MR. ANGELL: Yeah, Exhibit 6. 11 A No, but what it appears to me -- I'm obviously not an
