Description
Description | The Uinta Basin Railway is a proposed 88-mile railroad spur line intended to connect the isolated, oil-producing Uinta Basin in Utah to the national rail network. The project required approval from the Surface Transportation Board (STB) and involved an extensive environmental impact statement (EIS) exceeding 3,600 pages. The Supreme Court ruled that the STB's NEPA review was adequate and limited the scope of environmental review to the project itself, excluding upstream and downstream effects outside the agency's jurisdiction. |
