Correction: An earlier version of this story had an incorrect last name for attorney Jane West.
A community group staunchly opposed to the city’s dredging of Big Pass to rebuild severely eroded Lido Beach will not end its fight to stop the project that it claims would harm Siesta Beach.
Save Our Siesta Sands 2 argues that permits issued to conduct the long-contested project violate several federal laws, and it has hired a lawyer to try to prove it. The group — which challenged the issuance of the permits in court, but ultimately lost — has hired St. Augustine-based land-use and environmental attorney Jane West to find flaws in the permitting process.
West believes the project violates several federal laws, including the Clean Water Act, she said Monday.
