Lawsuit against BLM’s Authorization of the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s Massive Groundwater Mining and Pipeline Project
Ibapah, Utah – The Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation (CTGR) joined the Great Basin Water Network’s recent lawsuit against the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Department of Interior (DOI) last week. The lawsuit challenges BLM’s decision to grant a right-of-way for a water pipeline that would destroy irreplaceable cultural and natural resources.
“We cannot look the other way when the future of our people and homelands are in the hands of those who have their priorities mixed up,” stated CTGR Tribal Chairperson Madeline Greymountain.
“The federal government has failed in its trust responsibility, therefore CTGR has no recourse but to file suit against BLM for failure to protect our interests, which is a legal and moral obligation of the highest fiduciary standard.”
