Fourth Circuit Rules Against the Navy

A three-judge panel has ruled that a U.S. Navy decision to place a jet landing field in eastern North Carolina was based on an incomplete and flawed environmental review process. The opinion in National Audubon Society v. Navy affirms a lower court ruling that stopped the Navy's development of its training field in eastern North Carolina.

The court held that the Navy must undertake a supplemental review, but that it may proceed with certain specific steps prefatory to possible construction of the landing field.
