The Supreme Court may be about to sharply limit the reach of so-called environmental impact statements, which gauge potential harm caused by new developments and can often block or scale back large projects. For more than 50 years, federal law has required agencies to take a hard and broad look at the 'reasonably foreseeable environmental effects' of a building or development project before approving it.
The seven Utah counties appealed, arguing the D.C. court had gone too far. Eight justices appeared to agree that decision should be reversed. Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, a Colorado native who is a friend of billionaire Philip Anschutz, said last week that he would not participate in the decision.
