I disagree with the request by the Tongue River Railroad Company to have a permit to build a coal-hauling line through the Tonge River Valley. There are too many questionable factors to ensure that this is viable. These factors include: 1) Wildlife habitat in the Tongue River Valley is rich and supports sportsman and animal populations. The line will ruin this area. 2) There could be more flooding which is already a problem in Miles City. 3). This is not for the public's use and convenience - it is purely a business venture for Arch Coal so they can sell to China and other Asian countries. This is not acceptable and does not mee the eminent domain" requirements. 4) There are other issues with taxes and property values. Please do not grant this permit."
