According to a project manager from the Gainesville office of the Army Corps of Engineers, their permit does not give them a ‘green light’ to start working. They MAY START WORKING, but companies (people) do things every day that they are not legally permitted to do. Then if no one stops them, everyone assumes that it was PERMITTED and it “would be futile” to persist. So they continue sending in their peons, who have no real authority, no accountability, and nothing to lose. Corporate stays arms’ length away.
Once again, laws written by lawyers, interpreted by lawyers.
No, it does not include drilling under rivers, if I read the attached file correctly.
Looks like that changed 🙁
