ADP, Employees Sue USFS

Environmental groups and U.S. Forest Service employees are suing the Forest Service over its approval of several oil and gas drilling projects in the Allegheny National Forest that they say will hurt wildlife and the environment.

The suit says the forest service approved the plans without the necessary environmental review. The suit was filed today in federal court.

The Allegheny Defense Project says gas and oil drilling has increased dramatically in the forest, and that numerous roads built to support drilling can destroy wildlife habitat and hurt recreation opportunities.

The employees are members of the Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics.

The forest service says it hasn't seen the suit and can't comment.
