Duncan and fellow House members want an explanation

Rep. Jeff Duncan and four of his fellow House Republicans want an explanation from the Army Corps of Engineers for a decision to raise dock and land-based facility permits in the South Atlantic Region. The corps this month announced a revised fee schedule that will raise dock and facility permits from $400 dollars to $835 dollars and re-issue permits from $175 dollars to $835 dollars. The Republican House members’ letter seeks an explanation as to how the corps arrived at the decision to significantly raise fees and why no public input was considered.
