Comment EI-23669

I'm concerned about the water table if there is a chemical spill from the railroad cars. We live in a rural area where our only source of water is from a well. With the recent situation in Detroit with tainted water and the drought in California, we know what a precious resource water is. The town of Valparaiso gets it's water from an aquifer that is close to proposed GLB tracks. If there was a chemical spill, the entire town would have no water and no other source! Please carefully consider this issue.
