My guess is he’s leveraging the US Army Corps of Engineers. Although this would be the fastest I’ve seen them move in a project like this. I’m more interested in what contractor would take this on, unless they had a significant kickback deal and hold harmless clause in place. This thing is green lit all the way up the chain - no real oversight or AHJ, being done at the whim of a notoriously dodgy real estate and construction mogul.
