I am commenting on GLB proposed route coming at the very property line of my residence.We are rural located, we recently purchased this property just to be far away from noise pollution where we can settle down and raise our family.My greatest concerns are of our water, the most precious resource we have to sustain our life here as we only have a well, and risk of farm land here being contaminated by a possible hazardous spill of any kind would be catastrophic to our well being, noise pollution right on our property line is another huge concern, we moved here to get away from this.Our property value will decrease,our farming partners will also be affected,and for the environmental concerns alone over the farm land decreasing and contamination possibilities, this should be enough alone,and eminent domain is unnecessary and unwanted by this community, we are strongly against this GLB railroad plan and are willing to fight it to the best of our ability. Thank you for considering the homeowner who just wants to not be affected by noise and the stresses placed upon this family and neighbors when all we want is to enjoy our safe place in peace.
