US EditionVenable Successfully Represents Seven County Infrastructure Coalition in Landmark Supreme Court Case on Environmental Review Authority
- Venable LLP successfully represented a coalition of seven counties and a regional railway company from the Uinta Basin in a Supreme Court case decided on a Thursday in 2025.
- The case arose from disputes over the National Environmental Policy Act's broad application and the DC Circuit's ruling that halted the 88-mile Uinta Basin Railway project.
- The Supreme Court reversed the DC Circuit, limiting environmental reviews to the specific project and disallowing consideration of potential future projects.
- Jay Johnson, a partner at Venable, remarked that the decision brings important clarity to the federal process for environmental reviews, emphasizing its positive impact on regulatory certainty and the advancement of infrastructure projects.
- The decision reopens the path for constructing the Uinta Basin Railway and should streamline approvals while reducing unnecessary environmental reviews nationwide.
