North Carolina Beach Beats Appeal Over Jetty to Control Erosion

摘要

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers rationally supported its decision to issue a permit to a North Carolina town that allowed it to build a jetty to prevent beach erosion, the Fourth Circuit affirmed Friday in a defeat for environmentalists.The Corps "collected a broad range of data," and it studied that data to make judgments "based on its own special expertise," according to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
