Thanks to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for submitting comments:
CBF opposes the issuance of this permit for the reasons detailed below, including its failure to comply with the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. §1251 et seq., and urges the Corps of Engineers (“Corps”) to deny the application. However, should the Corps not deny the permit at this time, CBF submits that the Corps must, at a minimum, hold a public hearing on the proposed project.
