Grant finds that the district court improperly dismissed the nonprofit's action for lack of standing on its claim that the Corps issued a dock permit for one of Georgia's barrier islands without full environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act. The nonprofit's members alleged that they suffered an aesthetic injury from viewing the dock and alleged they suffered procedural harm when the Corps failed to complete the full review process. Although the dock has already been built, relief for the nonprofit's alleged procedural harm is still possible. Review could still occur and the Corps could reconsider the decision to allow the dock. The district court correctly dismissed the nonprofit's claim alleging a violation of the Cumberland Island National Seashore Act. Reversed in part.
