My neighborhood petitioned to the Savage City Council for an EAW which was denied as not being mandatory. If the citizens knew how big the project actually was, how could the city be so out of touch that they didn't know (or care...) After getting a lawyer to fight this, the developer admitted the full scope of the project and it IS now mandatory. This same wetlands went from 43 acres in 1988 and according to the EAW is now only 12. No one seems to be able to tell us what happened to the wetlands. I am not a bit surprised.
