Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1052238, member: 716"] I'd love to; unfortunately, I haven't worked with the Corps before. State DECs are a little more responsive, I know that - SU would have more sway with them in expediting the process. At the most basic level, SU has submitted its plans to the Corps; they'll decide what impact the building will have on surrounding drainage, flow upstream, flow downstream (which has flooded in the past, but in the era before the Corps had jurisdiction over this kind of waterway), etc. Based on my understanding, this shouldn't be too far from a rubber stamp. The stream's been built over with fields and then the track since at least the '70s. I don't even know why they'd need to replace the culvert it runs through (but, again, no Corps experience here). The buzz I hear is that approval will come down soon (also, I know SU didn't buy all that steel and insulation and stuff just to let it spend another couple seasons out in the elements on Skytop).
