Port Authority Director John Driscoll said the action is a direct threat to the state’s largest economic driver.
In a letter sent by Port Authority Director John Driscoll to Baykeeper officials, Driscoll strongly advises Baykeeper to formally withdraw its intent to file a lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
He said the action is a direct threat to the state’s largest economic driver and that Baykeeper “has defaulted to a combative approach and now threatens to halt a project that has been thoroughly vetted...” Baykeeper said the Corps failed to account for the impact of the project on endangered Gulf sturgeon and other aquatic life which eat bottom-dwelling organisms that would be killed by sediment dumped back into the bay.
However, Baykeeper officials have said they hope they are able work out an agreement during a 60-day period and head off the need for a lawsuit.‘She touched so many lives’: Mom of 3 dies after being hit by car in front of restaurantGrandmother shot and killed in her Prichard home, authorities sayAttorney: 16-year-old killed in shooting was brother of airman shot to death by Florida deputy
