There was several environmental groups that filed lawsuits after the previous launch kicked up rocks and debris. I wonder if those are all settled or of they even are with the purview of the FAA.

The eternal question of wen FAA forever remains a mystery to all outsiders.

Definitely within FAA's preview. They are the ones that do the environmental risk assessment and thus any potential damage to the environment by a flying thing needs to be checked off by them.
