The Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Eagle County v. Eagle County , Colorado , the first major NEPA dispute before the court in 20 years .

The case stems from a proposal by a coalition of railway project developers to build an 85-mile rail line in Utah .

The tricky issue has been defining how far out in time, location and causation an agency should project when it analyzes potential effects.

D.C. Circuit says NEPA does not require regulators to study indirect effects outside agency's direct control.

Environmental groups say NEPA 's broad-scope reading of the rule of reason risks saddling the Surface Transportation Board with "endless make-work far outside its wheelhouse" John Sutter : If court rules that agencies don't have to consider indirect effects that are out of their direct regulatory control, most could ignore climate change impacts.
