What changed
The Florida Board of Professional Engineers issued a Final Order reprimanding Daniel C. Peters, PE for negligence in the practice of engineering under Sections 471.033(1)(a) and (g), Florida Statutes, and Rules 61G15-29.001 and 61G15-19.001(4), Florida Administrative Code. The violation centered on signing an engineering report that contained material misstatements regarding seasonal high-water elevations for the Seminole Groves Home Owners Association, coupled with a failure to perform the material engineering analysis required to support the report's conclusions.
Licensed engineers and firms performing hydrological or site-development assessments should review their report-signing practices and quality-control procedures. The Board's action reflects heightened scrutiny of engineering analyses supporting HOA or community development documentation, particularly where water-elevation data affects construction or drainage decisions. Engineers subject to Florida jurisdiction should ensure that all conclusions in signed reports are fully supported by completed analyses documented contemporaneously with the work.
What to do next
- Appear before the Board
- Complete a Board-approved course in basic engineering professionalism and ethics

Penalties
Costs of $3,975.10 assessed against licensee; formal Reprimand entered on license record
