Judge Refuses to Forbid Ocean Gas Burial Off Florida Coast
A federal judge denied a temporary restraining order against dumping 2675 tons of nerve gas at 16,000 feet off Cape Kennedy, while urging the Defense Department to pick a different site. The ruling cited risks of crushing the gas containers and noted Army plans to dispose of gas at such depth for the first time. Environmental Defense Fund and Florida Governor Claude Kirk challenged the plan amid Navy checks finding no prior harm to marine life. Army officials said loading at Sunny Point, North Carolina, could finish and the Le Baron Russell Briggs would sink Tuesday, with gas rendering harmless within about 10 hours after release.
