Your administration at work.
A top official at the Environmental Protection Agency informed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Alaska late Thursday that the EPA would not formally object at this point to the proposed Pebble Mine, a massive gold and copper deposit where mining could damage the world’s largest sockeye salmon fishery.
Christopher Hladick, the EPA’s regional administrator for Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, wrote to the Alaska district engineer, Col. David Hibner, that the agency still has serious concerns about the plan, including that dredging for the open-pit mine “may well contribute to the permanent loss of 2,292 acres of wetlands and. . . 105.4 miles of streams.”
But Hladick said the agency would not elevate the matter to the leadership of the two agencies, which could delay necessary approvals for the project to advance.

George Carlin’s pessimism had it right all along . WE (humans) are just an itch that Mother Nature will “scratch away” – SHE will survive and reinvent herself while the “itch” will Completely Disappear .
Renaming the agency should be no problem once King Don steals another election . It will be the EDA – Environmental Destruction Agency, just because of the “Kings” hatred for Obama – least that will be the under lying gist of it all . Hmmm, wonder what yet untouched Obama era “goodies” the “King” will dismantle next ? Don’t forget . . . Money is Power and Power begets more Money . . . & on & on & on .
