摘要：	The Corps of Engineers is asking the Southern Illinois District Court to dismiss a request for summary judgment in a lawsuit filed by several environmentalist groups. The groups claim that Corps practices in promoting navigation in a 195-mile stretch of the Mississippi River between St. Louis, Mo., and Cairo, Ill., contribute to flooding and environmental damage. The groups want the Corps to undertake extended environmental reviews of its use of river training structures to maintain the navigation channel. They cite a number of studies that claim training structures make flooding worse and want a moratorium on revetments, chevrons, and other structures that channel river water until the studies are completed. The groups, including the National Wildlife Federation, American Rivers, Prairie Rivers Network, the Missouri Coalition of the Environment and the Great Rivers Habitat Alliance, originally filed suit in March 2020 and asked for summary judgment in March of this year.
