United States Eighth Circuit

In an action claiming that the Forest Service's Land and Resource Management Plan for the Superior National Forest violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where nothing in either NEPA or its implementing regulations prevented the Forest Service from integrating consideration of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness into its analysis of the revised plan’s effects on other resources within the Superior National Forest.
