NORTHERN ALASKA ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER v. HODEL

No. 86-3535.

803 F.2d 466 (1986)

NORTHERN ALASKA ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Donald P. HODEL, et al., Defendants, and Alaska Miners Association, et al., Defendants-Intervenors-Appellants.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided October 23, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Philip S. Barrett, Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund, Inc., Juneau, Alaska, for plaintiff-appellee.

Martin W. Matzen, Dept. of Justice, Land & Nat. Resource Div., Washington, D.C., for defendants.

James S. Burling, Robin L. Rivett, Pacific Legal Foundation, Sacramento, Cal., for defendants-intervenors-appellants.

Before WRIGHT and FARRIS, Circuit Judges, and LETTS, District Judge.

EUGENE A. WRIGHT, Circuit Judge:

This litigation arises from the clash of the differing interests of the National Park Service (NPS), miners and environmentalists over mining in Alaska's national parks. We must decide whether the district court abused its discretion in entering a preliminary injunction which effectively barred mining after the 1985 season until proper environmental analyses are performed. We hold that it did not.
