The special master in the Everglades case has issued his first report, citing missed deadlines and other problems associated with the $8 billion cleanup project.

The Miccosukee Tribe and environmental groups said they were satisfied with the 41-page document. Both asked a federal judge to appoint a special master. They say the state is not meeting its obligations.

The tribe has a case before the Supreme Court, seeking to stop state water managers from pumping dirty water onto its land. Oral arguments will be heard January 14.
