“There’s no place, no matter how remote we get, that hasn’t been affected by humans. You get to the North Pole, and it’s been affected by human activity. You can go to the depths of the impenetrable jungle, and it’s been affected by human activity…. We’re radically remaking the world, and the question is, ‘what’s our responsibility?’”

“Obviously, states that are more committed to environmental protection are more likely to file suit against EPA saying, ‘You’re not doing enough,'” said Ms. Doremus, who also serves as the co-director of Berkeley’s environmental law program. “States are on both sides of pushing EPA to regulate more and pushing EPA to regulation less,” she said.

Doremus noted the committee did not weigh in on plans to move water around the Delta. The committee wrote there are not enough details available for it to analyze…. “Diverters were hoping the report would point a finger at other stressors as more important, which it didn’t,” Doremus wrote.

“There are sort of two separate games going on―there’s the legal game and the political game,” Doremus said. “The fact that [NPS] may be playing a political game that fans of the farm may think is hard doesn’t mean anything is legally wrong with the NEPA process.”

“Part of what it tries to do is turn back time,” said UC Berkeley law professor Holly Doremus. “It’s a remarkable overreach. It tries to give the irrigators everything. They threw all of the wish list in here.”
