PITTSBURGH — Wal-Mart will not build a store at a suburban hilltop construction site where a massive landslide last year closed a busy highway for two weeks, the retailer announced Wednesday.

Wal-Mart Stores said in a statement that it will return the hilltop in Kilbuck Township "to a predevelopment, natural sloping condition that includes trees and vegetation."

Officials from Wal-Mart and the state Department of Environmental Protection met Tuesday to discuss the revised plan. In August, the department said Wal-Mart's stabilization plan was incomplete. Wal-Mart has been trying to devise a plan that would stabilize the hillside to prevent another landslide.
