Description

BREYER, Circuit Judge. This case concerns the validity of the Corps of Engineers' decision to grant Coco Lagoon Development Corp. (""CLDC"") a permit to fill a wetland area for the construction of housing on the northern coast of Puerto Rico. The Corps granted the permit on the basis of an ""Environmental Assessment."" It concluded that the filling project would have no significant adverse environmental impact. Thus, there was no need to go further and prepare a full environmental impact statement (""EIS""). See 42 U.S.C. Â§ 4332(C) (EIS required only for ""major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment""). Appellants challenge this ""Finding of No Significant Impact."" We affirm the district court's dismissal of that challenge.
