Heading: Remaining NEPA Challenges

Text: We have reviewed Community Petitioners' other objections to the environmental impact statement and found them without merit. The Board did all that NEPA required of it: it set out the purpose and need for the transaction, evaluated alternatives that would reasonably and feasibly accomplish that purpose and need, identified and took a hard look at the transaction's environmental impacts, examined strategies for mitigating those impacts, and fielded and responded to thousands of comments from local, state, and federal agencies and from the community. Having found no error[s] [that] compromise[d] the objectivity and integrity of the [NEPA] process, we have no need to consider Community Petitioners' claim that the Board improperly selected or supervised its contractor.
