REAVLEY, Circuit Judge:
The Environmental Defense Fund and other plaintiffs brought suit against John 0. Marsh, Jr., in his capacity as Secretary of the Army, based on the claim that the Army Corps of Engineers has violated several statutes and regulations in the course of planning and constructing a major water project, the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The district court granted the government’s motion for summary judgment, and the plaintiffs appealed. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
