Comment EI-19378
Received or sent (printed as 1/6/2013)
The EIS should study the effect of this proposed rail line on sage grouse. The impact criteria used should be consistent with federal rules regarding wind turbines and sage grouse leks. Federal rules promulgated by Fish & Wildlife do not allow wind turbines to be sited within 1 mile of a sage grouse lek. A similar rule should be applied to this rail line.
