Questão jurídica principal
Whether the reduced 2008 gravel-pit project required a new public inquiry
Decisão extraída
No. The modifications were not essential enough to make the revised project a new project; the prior inquiry and the cantonal appeal proceedings cured any hearing defect.
Fundamentação extraída
The revised project reduced volume and impacts, moved the extraction front farther from the EMS, and could be reviewed fully on the record before the cantonal court.
