"The Corps of Engineers is a very efficient and effective engineering and management agency that is more than capable of making decisions regarding permitting without being second guessed by an agency that has no real interest in resource or infrastructure development, projects in Alaska have been shut down or delayed time and time again by the EPA....

Young, at that time said that the bill was to streamline the permitting process by "removing a level of bureaucracy."



Oh yeah leave the Corp in charge of protecting salmon...Good God
