Defenders of Wildlife v. NC Dep't of Transportation

Defenders of Wildlife v. NC Dep't of Transportation - 8/6/14. In the U.S. Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit, Case No. 13-2215. Plaintiffs claim that Defendants violated NEPA and the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 by, among other things, committing to the construction of only one segment of the transportation project—namely a replacement bridge—and denying the public the full review of the entire project and its environmental impact, as NEPA requires. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Defendants; and the Appeals Court reversed the district court's determination and remand for further proceedings.
