Please authorize an Environmental Impact Statement before abandonment of the embankment causes severe adverse effects to Jersey City historic districts, landmarks, neighborhoods, and families. Abandonment will lead directly to demolition (Conrail and partner are seeking permits now) Demolition will effect... - air quality - noise - heavy truck traffic through fragile historic districts - flooding (no half-mile of fill to absorb stormwater in flood plain) - release of contaminants - habitat destruction - wildlife, including migratory birds and monarch butterflies, and much local species - cultural loss for Holy Rosary historic festival and Italian festival. Thank you for your time.
