Comment EI-19494
Received or sent (printed as 1/7/2013)
I wish to comment on the proposed new route of the Tongue River Railroad. This new route should get a full EIS, to determine the affects on local ranches, ranchers,and recreationalists. It will affect them all. It should be opened to public comment, as the route has changed. It should also have a full EIS, to anayze the affects of climate change, shipping coal to Asia, and how Montana's agricultural and recreational economy and lifestyle will be affected by the extracting, shipping, and burning of these huge amounts of coal. We do not want to turn into Arizona! I depend on agriculture, both livestock and grains, and need to insure adequate temperature and rainfall for my crops-which global warming certainly is and will affect!
