Grist says the EPA concluded "that maybe, just maybe, sucking all that wet out...". Once again Grist characterizes the EPA as anti-environment.

Actuall the EPA press release said "The Yazoo Backwater Area contains some of the richest wetland and aquatic resources in the nation, and serves as critical fish and wildlife habitat. EPA concluded that the proposed project would result in unacceptable damage to these valuable resources that are used for wildlife, economic, and recreational purposes."

The EPA didn't think there was any maybe about it.
