These are the issues that loom as a federally mandated Programmatic Environmental Impact Study has been imposed. Recently, federal regulatory agencies led by the Environmental Protection Agency directed the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to perform a Programmatic Environmental Impact Study for two counties on the Mississippi Coast. The Environmental Protection Agency is offering to pay all costs incurred by any regulatory agency associated with the project. The third coastal county, Jackson County, is not included, although Jackson County is the most industrialized county on the Mississippi Coast. Regulatory agencies are taking liberties in interpreting the language of the Clean Water Act to mean things not directly stipulated.
