Mississippi's appellate court affirmed a decision to permit a proposed military site in North Gulfport, despite concerns that the site could contaminate public waters.
Court of Appeals backs proposed military site in North Gulfport by Alex Rozier, Mississippi Today February 14, 2024 The Mississippi Court of Appeals on Wednesday affirmed a decision to permit a proposed military site in North Gulfport, despite local and environmental advocates' concerns that the site could contaminate public waters.
As part of the plan, the contaminated area has been capped off with a 10-inch layer of clay and a 4-inch layer of topsoil. Explaining the court's ruling, Judge Jim Greenlee wrote that the project's proposal only said that ammunition might be stored at the site, not that it was a necessary part of the project. Thus, the ruling argues, the Permit Board didn't have to consider the impact of storing ammunition in order to issue a water quality certification.
