State of Washington v. United States Department of the Navy

State of Washington v. United States Department of the Navy, No. 2:19-cv-01059 (W.D. Wash. Dec 10, 2021)

Holding

The court held the Navy's NEPA hard look inadequate where its own scientific summary identified measurable effects of aircraft noise on child learning but the agency made no attempt to evaluate the project's degree of impact. This is a procedural environmental-review holding, not an individual cognitive-injury causation holding.
