United States Fourth Circuit
North Carolina Wildlife Federation v. North Carolina Dep't of Transportation, 11-2210
In a suit by conservation groups against state and federal transportation agencies, arguing that the process by which the agencies approved a toll road violated the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA), the district court's grant of summary judgment to the agencies is vacated and the case remanded, where the agencies violated NEPA by failing to disclose critical assumptions underlying their decision to build the road and instead provided the public with incorrect information.
