Review & Description
This casebook contains 182 federal court of appeals decisions that interpret and apply the regulations requiring an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act. The selection of decisions spans from 2007 through the date of publication and is organized by federal circuit. The decisions are listed in the order of frequency of citation. The most cited decisions appear higher in each section.
NEPA requires federal agencies to prepare a detailed statement on the environmental impacts of any "major Federal action[] significantly affecting the quality of the human environment." The resulting Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") must describe "any adverse environmental effects which cannot be avoided" and rigorously explore alternatives to the proposed action. NEPA does not mandate substantive results, but it does require agencies to "take a 'hard look' at environmental consequences" and to disseminate information that allows the public to participate in the decisionmaking process,
