摘要：	In a January 22 ruling, a judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois handed the Corps of Engineers a victory when he granted summary judgment in the Corps' favor in a lawsuit over Mississippi River training structures. The judge's ruling also granted final approval for Corps plans for a 195-mile section of the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Mo., to Cairo, Ill. The suit, titled National Wildlife Federation vs. United States Army Corps of Engineers, was filed in May 2020 by attorneys representing the National Wildlife Federation, American Rivers, Prairie Rivers Network, Missouri Coalition for the Environment and Great Rivers Habitat Alliance. It challenged the Corps' Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Regulating Works Project. The Regulating Works Project guides the Army Corps' management of the section of the Mississippi River stretching from St. Louis to Cairo. The plaintiffs sought injunctive relief, namely the revocation of the Environmental Impact Statement that approved the project.
