Group suing to block Christo's "Over the River"

[GReedDiamond]

22. Christo funds these type of installations himself - no NEA $$$ -

...by selling other art which is created in the process of visualizing and designing the work -- kinda like the way storyboards are created to help a movie director structure scenes for a movie.

In any case, I would wait to see the environmental impact report for the project, in order to make a judgment on it.

ON EDIT: I followed the link to the Denver Post in the OP, and, at the end of the DP article, followed the link to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which stated:

"Through the application process, the BLM determined an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) would be required in order to proceed with the proposal due to the project complexity, controversial nature of the proposal, concerns regarding public safety, and the potential for significant impacts. The applicant also made a specific request for an EIS. An EIS is a document required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for federal government agency actions "significantly affecting the quality of the human environment."

Is there an Environmental Impact Statement?
