1. This entire process has been FLAWED. There has been a reprehensible lack of notifying potentially impacted landowners and lack of real information about the project. To put the burden of the study" on potentially impacted landowners that haven't even been officially contacted is gross injustice. With just a quick perusal of the original route, I see that there is a major mistake. The route dissects a 1/2 mile runway, but it's not even shown on their map. How many more MAJOR mistakes such as this are there? What comprehensive plan is there (not) to truly find out the true economic and environmental impacts of this project? It's up to landowners WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN OFFICIALLY CONTACTED to provide the information FOR FREE? That is grossly unfair and unjust. 2. I fully support the previous thousands of comments siting safety concerns, farming hazards, significant damage and impact on prime farmland, loss of investments (accrued over generations, loss of future investments, property devaluation, etc. etc."
