The
Federal
District
Court
for
the
Southern
District
of
California
ruled
that
both
BLM
and
Pattern
conducted
the
necessary
studies
on
the
project’s
impact
on
public
lands
where
it
is
located,
and
took
measures
to
avoid
or
minimize
it.
One
lawsuit
was
brought
before
the
court
by
the
Quechan
Tribe
of
the
Fort
Yuma
Indian
Reservation
and
the
other
by
several
parties.
"These
rulings
confirmed
that
we
and
the
BLM
followed
the
rules,
working
with
Native
American
tribes,
community
groups
and
local
residents
during
the
development
process,”
says
Pattern
chief
executive
Mike
Garland.
