1Opinion of the Court
HARRISON L. WINTER, Chief Judge:
The Maryland Conservation Council and two other citizens’ groups sought to enjoin officials of Montgomery County, Maryland from authorizing further construction of a highway allegedly designed to pass through Seneca Creek State Park. The plaintiffs alleged, inter alia, that the County’s construction program violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 4331 et seq. (1982). Without hearing oral argument, the district court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss. We reverse in part and affirm in part.
