A panel of appeals court judges said in 2023 that the board violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) by conducting an inadequate environmental review for the project. The board failed to quantify foreseeable impacts on vegetation and animals from increased oil drilling and did not “take a hard look at wildfire risk as well as impacts on water resources downline,” the panel said.
