Case Overview
The Cultural Landscape Foundation sued the Department of the Interior over the resurfacing of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
The Application
History
The Cultural Landscape Foundation argues that Interior failed to comply with NHPA consultation requirements and undertook the resurfacing without adequate environmental review or consideration of the landscape's historic significance as a designed feature of the Lincoln Memorial complex.
The Conclusion
The case remains active in the D.C. District Court before Judge Carl J. Nichols; the court will determine whether the resurfacing project may proceed pending resolution of any preliminary injunction request and the merits.
