摘要：	Two Grundy County, Ill., residents are taking the state and an oil transport company to court to try to get a hearing on a proposed barge fleeting operation that would be developed on the Illinois River east of Seneca, Ill., radio station WCMY reported December 31. The defendants are Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Colleen Cal-lahan and Illinois & Michigan Oil LLC. The Corps of Engineers issued a permit for the facility September 29, according to Jim Kelly, project manager at the Rock Island Engineer District. A permit for a much smaller barge fleeting area to be developed by ARTCO was issued September 15, just downstream. No objections to that facility have surfaced, said Kelly. Richard and Gloria Sims claim the barge fleet proposal requires a public permit hearing, the governor's personal approval and contact with local property owners. Their complaint, filed in Grundy County Court, claims the development will amount to a "floating tank farm" that could carry 75 to 100 times the amount of liquid fertilizer that exploded in Beirut, Lebanon, on August 4, 2020. The complaint proposed a range of relief measures, from ordering the hearing to prohibiting the project outright.
