`
`Case 1:19-cv-00118-CWD Document 62 Filed 05/20/20 Page 2 of 3
`
`prohibiting Defendants from constructing the Redfish to Stanley Trail as is authorized by the
`June 6, 2017, Decision Memo.1
`The Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims because the Defendants
`failed to complete their mandatory duties under the Endangered Species Act to consult with the
`U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service with regard to listed aquatic
`species in the project area when they authorized construction of the Trail. Additionally, the
`Defendants intend to discharge dredged and fill material into jurisdictional wetlands without a
`valid Section 404 permit in violation of the Clean Water Act. The failure to comply with these
`statutes will result in environmental harms that are not remedied by money damages. Enjoining
`construction of the Trail until the Court can determine the merits of Plaintiffs claims is in the
`public interest because it will preserve the status quo and prevent environmental harm.
`This motion is supported by the accompanying Memorandum in Support, Third
`Declaration of David Boren, and Declaration of John Stewart. Plaintiffs respectfully request a
`hearing on this motion.
`
