The Fort Mojave Indian Tribe and the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, along with the Native American Land Conservancy and National Parks Conservation Association, on Tuesday filed two separate lawsuits against the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Recently, the BLM approved the use of a decommissioned oil and gas pipeline across protected federal land in the Mojave Desert. The pipeline will transport water from the Mojave Groundwater Bank to communities in San Bernardino County. Plans also mention the capacity to expand as additional Mojave Groundwater Bank facilities are developed. It was vacated because the BLM had failed to properly account for the environmental impacts of the groundwater pumping.
