Federal highway agency must prepare Route 7 EIS, Second Circuit rules
The Second Circuit upheld Judge Oakes's 1972 injunction blocking Route 7 construction from Bennington to Manchester. It held FHWA, not the state department, must prepare a full NEPA environmental impact statement for the 280 mile corridor, and that piecemeal work triggers federal analysis. The court ordered the FHWA to formulate the EIS and the states to decide whether to appeal or redo Vermont related analysis.
