This proposed project will have a negative impact on the entire surrounding area in terms of overall quality of life, travel backups due to the extreme increase in train traffic, increase in noise pollution, air pollution and a reduction in surrounding property values. The entire area is made up of wetlands and the future impact to our water supply/drainage issues and wildlife would be exposed to increased chance of contamination from spills, derailments and other unforeseen accidents. As a hunter, conservationist and member of Pheasants Forever Habitat Team, I feel that this project is putting efficiency" before our responsibility to our natural resources. Thank you. "
