Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the Town of Riverhead has standing to pursue the procedural claims challenging the DEC's 2010 regulatory amendments, but lacks standing for the SEQRA claim and the substantive challenges. Accordingly, the Court reinstated the first three causes of action and affirmed the modified order.
