Army Corps moves toward permit for Thames dredging plan
Environmentalists and fishermen protest a planned 2.8 million cubic yards of polluted river mud to be dumped near New London Sound to deepen the Thames River for Navy submarines. Col. Mason says permit could come within a month, despite calls for a farther site. Opponents warn of harm to fishing grounds, beaches, and coastal cleanup efforts.
