Abstract

During the late 1990s and early 21st century, regulators sought to heighten protection for historic resources. New initiatives had a significant impact on natural resources' exploration, development, and extraction. As a result, litigation of course ensued. This article examines the recent changes in regulation, the legal challenges associated therewith, and the ultimate consequences. It examines the legal challenges to historic preservation regulation, and the concomitant effects on mineral development and property rights in general.
