Judge chides Army engineers for Missouri River water levels

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, July 22 -- A federal judge held the Army Corps of Engineers in contempt Tuesday for refusing to lower Missouri River water levels to protect endangered birds and fish. U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler ordered the corps and the secretary of the Army to comply by Friday or pay $500,000 for each day the corps refuses to comply. She said she may consider "more draconian contempt remedies" if flow is not cut by July 31.
