Everglades SchemeThawarted
A federal district court in Miami has ruled that the Bush Administration violated federal law in issuing permits for a massive limestone mining project adjacent to Everglades National Park. If constructed, the mining pits could have destroyed 30 square miles of habitat for rare wading birds, diverted water flows from Everglades National Park and poisoned the drinking water of millions of Miami-Dade County residents by allowing dangerous microorganisms to infiltrate local wells. The ruling comes after a four-year legal battle waged by NRDC and our partners.
