Judge dismisses CEQA lawsuit, clears way for proposed reservoir near Sacramento
June 6, 2024 – Media MentionDaily Journal
Environmental Partner Sedina Banks was quoted in the Daily Journal regarding the CEQA challenge to the Sites Reservoir project.
Excerpt:
"The Sites Reservoir project, as the first project to receive SB 149 certification, was a test case on the effectiveness of the law," said Sedina L. Banks, a partner in the Environmental Group with Greenberg Glusker LLP, who is not involved in the litigation. "It is a positive indicator of the efficacy of the law that the Yolo County Superior Court decided the CEQA challenge well before expiration of the 270-day time period. Only time will tell if other streamlined infrastructure projects will also be decided expeditiously or if timely decision will not be 'feasible'".
