USACE Comments Submitted on Behalf of CBCC and Save Coral Bay

In addition to the thousands of letters submitted by individual opponents to the Summers End Group marina, and the comments submitted by federal agencies involved in the permit review process, an extensive dossier of comments was submitted by Save Coral Bay in conjunction with the Coral Bay Community Council.

This body of comments, involving the work of literally hundreds of individuals, was compiled and organized by our team of pro bono environmental lawyers from Manko, Gold, Katcher & Fox (mankogold.com) and Sive, Paget & Riesel (sprlaw.com). Our legal team – consisting of attorneys Rob Fox, Jonathan Rinde, Mark Chertok and Maggie Macdonald – provided invaluable assistance in putting together a compelling set of legal, environmental, and public policy arguments, all supported by expert testimony, explaining why the the permits requested by the Summers End Group must be denied.

Given the extraordinary volume of this material – a cover letter plus three thick printed binders plus three DVD discs – it isn’t possible to place the entire submission on this website. We’ve extracted key pieces of the submission and have made them available for viewing as individual documents. Here is what is currently available (click on the link to view the document):
