Congaree Riverkeeper Sues Trump Administration over NEPA Rollbacks
Jul 29, 2020
Today, Congaree Riverkeeper, along with several other environmental organizations from across the Southeast and represented by SELC, sued the Trump administration over recent rollbacks of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
“NEPA has given a voice to communities of lesser means that often bear the brunt of polluting projects,” says SELC Senior Attorney Kym Hunter. “It is a tool of democracy, a tool for the people. We’re not going to stand idly by while the Trump administration eviscerates it.”
"NEPA has been a critical tool for protecting our rivers and our communities. We will continue to work with our partners to fight this misguided and illegal rollback of one of our country's most important environmental laws." – Bill Stangler, Congaree Riverkeeper.
