The US Army Corps of Engineers has withdrawn SpaceX's application to expand in Texas after the company failed to provide environmental information it requested.
The letter came after CEO and founder Elon Musk threatened to move operations to Florida if regulatory approval didn't move along in Texas.
SpaceX was seeking approvals to construct a new launch pad, new landing pad, and other launch-related infrastructure that would support its existing reusable launch vehicle operations in the South Texas facility.The Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for oversight of wetland development under section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
If that were to happen, Musk said at the time, SpaceX would turn its Boca Chica assets into more of a research and development hub. , the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has expressed similar concerns. FWS submitted comments to the Federal Aviation Administration saying SpaceX has not provided adequate environmental information to obtain approval to expand in Boca Chia.
