U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Says They Didn’t Violate Federal Laws for FM Diversion

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers responds to a lawsuit over the FM Diversion.

They say opponents of the project should not prevail on allegations that the agency failed to follow federal law when it analyzed the upstream effects of the proposed channel around the Fargo metropolitan area.

A group representing upstream residents in North Dakota and Minnesota filed a motion in June asking a judge to rule in their favor on the issue of whether or not the corps violated federal environmental law.

The ruling could affect the timeline of the project.
