Heading: Mass Transit Alternative

Text: 146 We find that all sub-issues under Appellant's Mass Transit Alternative issue are waived for failure to adequately brief as to violations of CWA. Phillips, 956 F.2d at 954. The Appellants argue only the inadequacies of the FEIS which is governed by NEPA. They make no mention of the COE's ROD, § 404(b) Evaluation Report, or § 404(b) permit which are governed by CWA. They cite only to regulations pursuant to NEPA. The Appellants' entire argument as to CWA on the mass transit alternative issue is that [t]he District Court's holding eviscerates the alternatives analysis required ... by the CWA, Aplt. Br. at 39, and [t]he omission of the assumptions and supportive information underlying the Federal Agencies' transit analysis violates NEPA and the CWA. Aplt. Br. at 38. We, therefore, deem this issue waived. 147
