Plaintiffs make no effort to reframe Longvilles statements into legal arguments, or to integrate any CEQA statutes, guidelines or case law. Many of her comments (like a knife in the heart of progress in San Bernardino) involve policy decisions that properly rest with those agencies whose determinations are being reviewed. (See Defend the Bay, supra, 119 Cal.App.4th at p. 1269.) Indeed, while Longville could not support the preferred alternative, she did so even though, in her words, the EIR does address the environmental impacts of building that project.

One of the first environmental protection laws included the federal law, primarily a procedural law that the government uses before taking of any action. It puts requirements when it comes to construction or impact the environment in some way. Environmental assessment: asses the impacts the proposed project could have on the environment. If nothing is found, then the law is discarded completely. However, if there was something that challenges the environment. The next step is the environmental impact assessment, this is done by researching scientifically and theoretically the extent that the project could have. This is required if the government wishes to proceed with the project, extensively, this does not mean that it has to comply with the recommendations of environmentalists and the findings of the research, but it must document it. The act was in response to the public’s demand in 1967 after an oil tanker in Great Britain

If you don’t agree with the decision of the court or agency, you can have the decision reviewed by a higher court or agency, and sometimes a court can review an agency’s decision.
