CA Supreme Court Rules in Favor of FOER and Against NCRA

For all of those interested the CEQA lawsuit filed against the NCRA
by Friends of Eel River, the CA Supreme Ct. issued its decision on the 27th.

A complicated case for sure. FOER won, NCRA lost, and NWP Co. got a pass.
However, NCRA's financial position means that to comply with the ruling (and complete
an EIR for the line through the Canyon) could cost far too many dollars, even
for the NWP to finance (via loans collateralized with public assets).
NWP was NOT ordered to stop operating. (FOER had not requested freight operations
be enjoined.)

The court ordered that details get resolved in the Marin district court, meaning
more dollars for lawyers to fight over details.

Will this impact the CTC's request for a "shutdown plan?"

Maybe to save funds NCRA will give up on Island Mtn and they can negotiate
a settlement.
