Environmental group sues Sacramento County
Published Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011
Friends of the Swainson's Hawk is trying to overturn an environmental impact report and approval for a 3,766-acre development in southeast Sacramento County that the county supervisors supported last December.
The environmental group filed a lawsuit this week to overturn the EIR for the Florin-Vineyard area project. The group's news release alleged that the county's EIR "falsely declares that Swainson's Hawk habitat loss from development of the area would be only a fraction of what it actually will be."
The group claims the county violated the California Environmental Quality Act and that the current plan will result in a loss of Swainson's Hawk habitat of 1,000 to 2,000 acres.

Friends of the Swainson's Hawk is a funded arm of the Sierra Club. Sierra Club started in SF, but is now an international Environmental interest group. I wish the above story explained that, because the above story is an example of an international special interest group, meddling in the affairs of local Sacramento developments. These lawsuits cost millions of tax payer and private dollars, raising the costs of local development and the costs of housing. -- G of Econ
