How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- “In considering laches claims, it is relevant that the plaintiff will not be the only victim of possible envi- ronmental damage.”
- the adequacy of an EIS is measured by a test of objective good faith
- no significant prejudice where right of way cleared, but road not built
- where “the EIS gave no hints where to search or whether studies were in fact performed, . . . . the EIS fail[ed] to give decision makers who are removed from the initial decision sufficient data from which to draw their own conclusions[.]”
