A California Appellate Court ruled that pre-condemantion access to private property did not include environmental and geological testing.
The land at issue was to be part of a multi-million dollar water delivery project , the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, to divert water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to Southern California.
National Federation of Independent Business attorneys have filed an amicus brief supporting the landowner and encouraging the California Supreme Court to affirm the denial of pre-condemantion access to private property.
