After reviewing the available information about the proposed Great Lakes Basin (GLB) rail project, it is my opinion that the proposed GLB project has failed to sufficiently provide documentation that supports public convenience and necessity. For the following reasons I respectfully request that the STB cease any further action on this project. - The proposed high speed rail will run within 1k yards of my property - My property is located on the largest underground aquifer in our county - Roads to the east, west and south of our property will be closed during rail traffic. Concerns of emergency evacuation - No proven need for the rail system - Farmers in our community will lose large sections of farm land - There are three nature preserves/bird sanctuaries within 2 miles east and west of the proposed railway located near my home
