Comment EI-23545

Received or sent (printed as 6/8/2016)

Who decided that a railroad hauling hazardous waste was needed? Who would possibly think having hazardous waste hauled through areas with well water was safe? What will people in the country do when their water is contaminated from a hazardous derailments. Derailments happen a couple times a day, every day from what I've heard. I wouldn[t be concerned if was just regular products carried, but I heard the major reason they want this new line is because they want to haul hazardous stuff through the country instead of through the city. I guess they figure killing people in the country is OK, but killing two many people in the city is not acceptable. Am I a environmental concern? Or just city people?
