In the continuing saga of one step forward and two steps back for Cadiz Inc., which is trying to get federal approval to sell water from its aquifer to water districts across Southern California, the National Parks Conservation Association filed a lawsuit against the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management in federal court Tuesday. The Association claims that the agencies illegally changed federal policies and procedures to greenlight Cadiz’s plan to build a pipeline along a railroad right-of-way to pipe billions of gallons of water to Orange County from an aquifer east of Twentynine Palms. The Association maintains that the pipeline requires a federal environmental review and permits, and that building the pipeline would threaten the desert’s water resources and wildlife.
