IG: Cape wind farm review 'rushed' |
|
Several federal agencies that reviewed the proposed Nantucket Sound
wind farm felt they were "unnecessarily rushed" to finish their work
before President George W. Bush left office, according to a report
released yesterday by the U.S. Interior Department's inspector general.
A final environmental report on the project required under federal law was released by the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) more than a year ago, only days before the changeover to the current administration. While supporters praised the largely favorable review, opponents criticized it as premature and flawed. The inspector general investigated the review of the project by MMS after receiving multiple complaints, including a petition-style letter from a staff member of the project's primary opposition group, the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, and a letter from the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. |
