Sir, I am deeply concerned about the extensive negative consequences of a potential Tongue River Rail line which would not serve the public interest, but rather would benefit wealthy and powerful private profit interests instead. As such the proposed rail line does not meet the standard for imposing power of eminent domain and condemnation authority. I further strongly urge you to fully research the issues of: potential local flooding, of noise pollution, of the impacts on wildlife and hunting, on the issue of compromising local infrastructure and commerce, on the devaluation of surrounding lands, and on the unfair taxes that local communities will have to incur in their attempts to mitigate all the negative consequences of this proposed project. I respect that you bear a heavy responsibility in studying this complex issue and making judgements that will permanently affect our human and natural environments. I trust that you will do the right thing and oppose this disastrous, unjust proposal snd permit request. Sincerely, Janet Duecy
