Seven environmental groups filed a lawsuit Thursday against the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management over St. George s Northern Corridor Highway project. The plan to pave a 4-lane, 4.5 mile road across land that had been designated as protected habitat for the Mojave desert tortoise was approved late in the Trump administration, in what environmentalists say was a rushed and illegal move.
The plaintiffs, led by the local nonprofit Conserve Southwest Utah, take issue with the BLM s assessment of how recent wildfires in the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area may have changed the level of risk of the project to tortoises, with what they say was illegal use of Land and Water Conservation Funds to facilitate the project and with a lack of serious consideration of highway alternatives.
