Litigants Ask To Check Reflecting Pool For ‘Sabotage’

Until this week, The Cultural Landscape Foundation’s lawsuit was mostly about paperwork — specifically, the paperwork the National Park Service didn’t do before it tarted up yet another national monument. TCLF sued the Department of the Interior in the spring, arguing that NPS blew through the historic-preservation review required before altering a National Register-listed landscape as well as the required environmental review, all so the pool’s grey basin could be turned blue in time for Donald Trump’s July 4th party.
