What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Gross Reservoir Expansion Project, which has been under review for over two decades, received a key ruling from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals on September 15th. The court declared that a necessary permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was issued in compliance with federal environmental law. This ruling allows the utility to proceed with final work and fill the reservoir to its expanded capacity, which will nearly triple from 42,000 to 120,000 acre-feet.
