Coast Guard suspends Hudson anchorage plan, orders risk review

摘要

The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended the rulemaking process for establishing new Hudson River barge anchorages to conduct an additional assessment of the waterway. While some environmentalists and public officials are celebrating the decision as a victory that they believe is the death knell of the plan, it's clear from the Coast Guard announcement that the process will continue, even if additional anchorages are not approved at its conclusion.
