(CLEVELAND)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today released the following statement on the order issued today by Judge Donald C. Nugent in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, in the state’s 2015 Cleveland Harbor dredging case against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:
“This is a great outcome for the state of Ohio. It reaffirms that the Corps is responsible to pay for the 2015 Cleveland Harbor Dredging Project. Dredging the Cleveland Harbor is critical to Ohio’s economy and properly disposing of the dredged material is critical to the environment. We’re pleased the Judge agreed with our position, and we will continue to advocate tirelessly for the people of Ohio and for the health of Lake Erie.”
