Environmental Challenge to Mine Expansion
In Greater Yellowstone Coalition v. Lewis, No. 09-35729, an action claiming that the expansion of a mine would violate the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Water Act (CWA), and the National Forest Management Act (NFMA), the court affirmed summary judgment for defendants where 1) the CWA and NFMA did not require the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to identify additional possible sources of pollution; and 2) the record showed that the BLM examined all the relevant evidence.
