FD 34284 · SOUTHWEST GULF RAILROAD COMPANY--CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION EXEMPTION--IN MEDINA COUNTY, TX

Comment EI-1107

Received or sent (printed as 11/10/2004)

After reviewing the preliminary EIS on the above docket, it appears that the SEA has done a very thorough job in assessing the environment impact of the proposed rail way and the alternatives and the mitigants on any issues mentioned. I believe that the rail way is the most effective, less dangerous, and most environmentally friendly alternative. The opposition has used every scare tactic imaginable including saying the dust would cause asthma to the dust would cause wrecks on Loop 410 in San Antonio, Texas some 30 miles or so away. Vulcan Materials is a fortune 500 company and would, in my mind, take every precaution necessary to make this a safe venture. This project would be a great economic boost to the county, to the school district, and to the surrounding area. Please don't let the voices of a few jealous people, whose land was not chosen, impact the final decision on this matter. Thank you for your time and hard work.
