Lawsuit Targets Utah Highway Through Protected Conservation Lands, Threatened Tortoise Habitat

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.

Trump Administration Flouts Law to Push Utah Highway Through Protected Conservation Lands
ST. GEORGE,
Utah The Trump administration issued a decision today to allow construction of the Northern Corridor Highway, a controversial four-lane highway through the protected Red Cliffs National Conservation Area in southwest Utah.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also issued a “take” permit today allowing destruction of Mojave desert tortoises in the path of the highway project and reducing protections elsewhere. Desert tortoises are protected as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
