So multiple audits by the state and a 2007 EIS by NASA showing significant, substantial and adverse impacts means nothing because YOU personally have not seen it? And then you plaster this single point perspective as being scientific? There must be a great many things in the universe you don't believe exist because you have not directly witnessed them.
The situation is the result of the state being unable to create and then actually follow their own regulations, with the various agencies playing hot potato to pass along the responsibility. How is this a surprise for anyone who has had to interact with local government? The current "who gets up the mountain" is just the latest evidence of the state being unable to manage its way out of a paper bag, much less the morass it's created.
