Miss. Flood Project May Be Revived
Tommy Horton
Current water levels in the backwater area have reached a level of nearly 92 feet, flooding more than 100,000 acres of farmland along with 200,000 acres of trees for wildlife habitat.
Nimrod is convinced that if a judge hears the case, proponents of the pump project have an excellent chance of winning.
"I think the decision could come down in a year and a half," he says. "We don't believe EPA had the legal authority to veto this project."
Cost factors also weigh heavily in the $220 million project. Nimrod says more than $70 million was for large scale reforestation to "appease the environmental groups."
