Lawsuit Filed to Stop Riverside County From Swapping Protected Endangered Species Habitat for Degraded Mining Lands

Riverside, CA-(ENEWSPF)- Public-interest groups and concerned taxpayers filed a lawsuit today challenging Riverside County’s approval of a plan to trade away more than 40 acres of important habitat for endangered plants to a private developer — and receive only highly degraded mining lands in return. If the “swap” is finalized, the land will be turned over to a private company for development.
