Court Battles

NRDC is challenging the Trump administration’s ongoing attempts to approve the Keystone XL pipeline without an adequate review of its impacts.

The Trump administration is rolling back critical environmental reviews and blocking public participation under the guise of “streamlining.” So we’re suing.

In 2000, NRDC and the Maine People’s Alliance sued Mallinckrodt—a former owner of a plant that contaminated the Penobscot River with toxic mercury—to seek a cleanup.

When President Trump issued his alarming “2-for-1” executive order, NRDC and our partners quickly sued. We’ll continue to fight the administration’s attempts to steamroll public health and environmental safeguards.

The California WaterFix project was no fix at all. In a victory for the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta, California abandoned its two-tunnel project in May 2019.

Fighting a proposed dam in eastern Montana, NRDC and our partners offered a win-win alternative for farmers and the Yellowstone River ecosystem.
