Comment EI-19816
Received or sent (printed as 1/10/2013)
I have concerns about the following: Environmental impacts due to increased rail traffic - Consider impacts to wildlife habitat, as well as increases in noise and air/water pollution to ranch and farm lands. - Infrastructure – increased rail activity through towns will be major challenges to communities along the route. Delays, traffic disruption and new infrastructures will become new local burdens. - Jobs - the number of jobs attributed to coal development (whether miners or rail employees) can just as easily be shifted to the development of cleaner sources of energy.
