CRAW’s lawsuit seeks ju- dicial review of the Corps’ ap- proval of Wal-Mart’s wetland ¿ ll permit under the federal Clean Water Act, along with re- view of the Corps’ environmen- tal impact analysis and ¿ nding of no signi¿ cant impact in Sep- tember 2014 that underpins the permit’s approval. The suit re- quests that the courts set aside and remand the Corps’ permit. In a response to CRAW’s lawsuit ¿ led Monday by acting U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams, the Corps denied the allegations of wrongdoing. At other times, By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has denied the alle- gations in an April lawsuit ¿ led by Clatsop Residents Against Walmart challenging the wet- lands review of a new store in Warrenton. The Corps issued a permit for Peaksview LLC, which owns a strip of land on the southeastern corner of Ensign Lane and U.S. Highway 101, to ¿ ll 0.37 acres of wetland for construction of a big bo[ retail- er. The citizens group alleged the Corps improperly permitted Wal-Mart to ¿ ll the wetlands Damian Dovarganes/AP Photo A sign outside a Wal-Mart store in Duarte, Calif., is shown. the Corps purported not to have enough knowledge or infor- mation to provide an opinion on the allegations.

OBITUARIES ® ACCUWEATHER FORECAST FOR ASTORIA Astoria 5-Day Forecast these cases,” said Karl Anuta, CRAW’s lawyer. The Corps’ response ad- mitted that the wetlands at the propose Wal-Mart site are a trib- utary to the Skipanon River and provide habitat to salmonids and other wildlife, but said the city of Warrenton deemed the wet- lands “non-signi¿ cant” in 2012. Anuta has argued that Wal-Mart already had a shov- el-ready site on Warrenton Fiber Co. property at the southeastern corner of Mar- lin Avenue and Highway 101, which should have been taken into consideration as an alterna- tive to ¿ lling more wetlands at the retail center.
