Army Corps Case Will Show Protection Act Strength
A federal judge will decide this week on an Environmental Defense Fund suit against the Corps of Engineers over a 387 million Tennessee Tombigbee waterway project. The case tests whether the 1969 Environmental Protection Act requires timely environmental impact statements and how benefits compare to environmental harm. Construction could begin in October as the Corps updates its impact study, with the nine year project to connect the Tennessee and Tombigbee rivers and create a nine foot deep, 300 foot wide barge canal across northeastern Mississippi.
