Sabine River Authority v. US Dept. of Interior, 951 F. 2d 669 - Court of Appeals, 5th Circuit 1992
About This Legal Opinion
The Fifth Circuit upheld the lower court, holding that the federal government's acquisition of a conservation easement did not require an Environmental Impact Statement because a negative easement does not alter the nature or function of the land, but rather preserves it in its present state.
