Comment EI-19193

Received or sent (printed as 1/5/2013)

I am writing to oppose the building of the Tongue River Railroad Company 's coal-hauling line through the quiet, pristine Tongue River Valley in eastern Montana primarily for exporting coal to Asia. This long-proposed project renews its attempt to cut the valley in half, jeopardizing farm and ranch operations, disrupting wildlife movements, devaluing property, and increasing flooding potential. I also oppose the building of the exportation of coal ports along the west coast and the Columbia River.
