Permits should not have been granted to the TMT and there for it may have been Rubber-stamping...
I don't believe the definition of "rubber stamp" is what you think it is:
rub·ber stamp
noun
2.a person or organization that gives automatic approval or authorization to the decisions of others, without proper consideration.
verb
1. approve automatically without proper consideration.
"the college would not rubber-stamp its athletes for graduation"
The TMT approval process including meetings, EIS, etc required 7 years. That can hardly be called automatic approval.
