Jay Johnson will be delivering a keynote address about his 8-0 Supreme Court victory in Seven County Infrastructure Coalition v. Eagle County at the Uintah Basin Energy Summit in Vernal, Utah, on September 25 at 12:20 p.m. MT. The case centered around development of an 88-mile railroad line connecting the remote Uintah Basin to the national rail network, a project that would facilitate transporting crude oil from the region to refineries in other parts of the country. The ruling clarified the scope of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and is expected to streamline the federal environmental review process required before beginning an infrastructure project.
