Rocky Mountain Labs breaks Federal Law

 

 

Rocky Mountain Labs FEDERAL VIOLATION

 


The Rocky Mountain Labs in Hamilton, MT did not own the property at 801 S. 4th St. in 2009 when the Final EIS or FEIS was published.

To destruct a property is considered a major project, and without an FEIS or EIS or EA of any kind that is current is a violation of Federal NEPA law 42 USCA 4332 et. seq.; 40 CFR 1502-1508 et. seq.

When the US Government violates federal law, who stops them?
 
 

Below is the solicitation from the Indian Health Service Seattle for the unlawful work:
