Case Note: Environmental Law - National Environmental Policy Act - Potential Environmental Effects Of Urban Unemployment Require Preparation Of An Environmental Impact Statement, Elizabeth Manning

Fordham Urban Law Journal

In this case note, Elizabeth Manning analyzes City of Rochester v. United States Postal Service, 541, F.2d 967 (2d Cir. 1976). The City of Rochester and the Genessee-Finger Lakes Regional Planning Board sued to enjoin the Postal Service from constructing a 12 million dollar postal facility in a Rochester suburb, in contemplation of abandoning an older smaller facility within the city itself. Plaintiffs asserted that the Postal Service's change of location was "a major Federal actio[n] significantly affecting the quality of the human environment," and that the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) required the preparation of an Environmental …

Environmental Law-Statutory Interpretation-Factors To Be Considered In Making A Threshold Determination That An Environmental Impact Statement Is Necessary Under The Na- Tional Environmental Policy Act Of 1969

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was passed by Congress in 1969 declaring a policy which will promote efforts to protect the environment, to stimulate the health and welfare of man, and to enrich the understanding of the natural resources important to the nation. Under NEPA, all federal agencies must develop decision making procedures that include an evaluation of factors the agency will consider in deciding whether a proposed agency action will significantly affect the "human environment."'

Extraterritorial Environmental Protection Obligations Of Foreign Affairs Agencies: The Unfulfilled Mandate Of Nepa, Nicholas A. Robinson Jan 1974

Extraterritorial Environmental Protection Obligations Of Foreign Affairs Agencies: The Unfulfilled Mandate Of Nepa, Nicholas A. Robinson

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This article will focus on the initial Department of State position, as set forth in a legal memorandum which interpreted NEPA as not requiring compliance by a foreign affairs agency. It will then examine the language of the Act and its legislative history. Finally, the article will reveal a pattern of official self-insulation from national environmental policy, illustrated by the Export-Import Bank's continuing refusal to comply with NEPA's requirements. It will suggest that much remains to be done if NEPA is to be fully effective in governing the extraterritorial consequences of the federal government's actions.

Nepa: Full Of Sound And Fury? Jan 1971

Nepa: Full Of Sound And Fury?

University of Richmond Law Review

Man has been, is, and will continue to be dependent upon the environment for the essential and non-essential components of his existence. In twentieth century America, the inevitable realization that environmental resources are not infinite has fostered an increased interest in stemming the tide of ecological devastation now being carried out in the name of progress and technological convenience.
