About the Webinar

The Supreme Court recently issued its ruling in the first NEPA case it agreed to resolve in over twenty years. In Seven County Infrastructure Coalition v. Eagle County, the Court is confronted with the crucial question about how far an agency must consider the upstream and downstream impacts of proposals for federal action. The Court's decision has the potential to shape the scope of NEPA compliance for years to come. This NAEP webinar was hosted by Fred Wagner and Jay Johnson (counsel of record for the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition) on June 5th, providing an up-close perspective on this monumental case.
