How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that the entire project, including the segment at issue, was funded by a single grant from Congress as a demonstration project
• noting that “local, state and federal officials began planning the trafficway as a jointly funded federal-aid highway project”
• holding that highway which was planned in conjunction with FHWA and funded by Congress was major federal action and that state could not withdraw one segment of highway from federal funding at the final stages of the project solely in order to avoid NEPA requirements
• “We do not, however, define the precise point at which a federal project becomes immutably federal for purposes of NEPA compliance.”
