Clean Water Act: Biden admin halts major Ariz. project Trump OK’d
Development of a sprawling, politically charged Arizona housing development has been stopped, with the Fish and Wildlife Service’s newly revealed rescinding of a Trump administration decision. The agency’s about-face caused the Army Corps of Engineers to suspend its dredge-and-fill permit for the 28,000-home The Villages at Vigneto project, according to court documents. … The 2017 document “concurred that the Corps of Engineers’ granting of a Clean Water Act section 404 permit for the Villages at Vigneto Development was not likely to adversely affect threatened and endangered species or their critical habitat.”
