With active wetlands filling taking place for a parking structure for the Xanadu recreational and retail megaplex in New Jersey’s Meadowlands, the NJ Sierra Club, NJ Public Interest Research Group and the New Jersey Environmental Federation last week sued the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, saying the the Corps failed to consider a variety of issues in granting its permit for the action.

The project is attracting increasing local criticism over the strong likelihood that it will create a traffic disaster in the Meadowlands. |
