SEATTLE — The Navy made several errors in its environmental impact statement for jet operations at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, according to a report U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Richard Creatura filed in a lawsuit over the growing fleet of electronic warfare attack aircraft, called Growlers.

The federal lawsuit filed in 2019 argues the Navy did not adequately review the potential environmental and public health impacts that increasing its EA-18G Growler fleet from 82 to 118 jets would have on Whidbey Island and surrounding areas.

The state Attorney General’s Office and the nonprofit Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve want the court to invalidate the Navy’s environmental impact statement and require further study.

After this, if the people who wants bases named after Confederate soldiers changed, won't have to worry about the name. There won't be any bases left if more people sue using the same tactic.
