RI AG and Citizens Voice Concerns Regarding Proposed Dredging for Weaver’s Cove

Approximately 50 people attended a public hearing to express environmental concerns regarding proposed dredging associated with the FERC-approved Weaver’s Cove LNG terminal in Fall River, Mass. Rhode Island Attorney General Patrick C. Lynch was among the participants who oppose the proposal, saying that the developers had exhibited “callous disrespect” for state officials. However, one resident said that a shipping channel would help boost Fall River’s economy. The Providence Journal provides further coverage. [Free registration necessary.]
