Wal-Mart quagmire thickens as Army Corps responds to citizen lawsuit
for the new store without ade-
quately assessing environmen-
tal impacts and available alter-
native.
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,

Engineers has denied the alle-

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

the Corps purported not to have
enough knowledge or infor-

on the allegations. The Corps
requested the court dismiss the
case, enter judgment against the
citizens group and award the
Corps legal costs.

reduced by successive rounds
of wetland ¿ ll permits, includ-
ing current applications for the
Wal-Mart project and a nearby
attempt to ¿ ll wetlands to re-

The Corps’ response denied
any allegations related to the
National Environmental Pro-

case was e[tended from August

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
