SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - In a story October 20, 2020, about a proposal to mine minerals near the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge that's benefitting from the Trump administration's rollback of environmental rules, The Associated Press erroneously reported the name of an attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center. The attorney's name is Geoff Gisler, not Greg Gisler.

A mining company said Tuesday it plans to dig for minerals without a federal permit at the edge of the vast wildlife refuge in the Okefenokee Swamp, a big step for a once-embattled project that's now benefitting from the Trump administration's rollback of environmental rules.(Terry Dickson/Florida Times-Union via AP, File)
