(GLBT) plans to file a request with the Surface Transportation Board G(Board) seeking authority to construct and operate an approximately 278-mile rail line. According to GLBT, the proposed rail line would extend generally from La Porte, Indiana through Illinois to Milton, Wisconsin and would connect with existing Class I railroads. The Board’s Office of Environmental Analysis (OEA) is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to analyze the potential environmental impacts of the proposed rail line. To assist OEA in determining the scope of the EIS, OEA will hold nine public scoping meetings in the project area. Each meeting will begin with a 1-hour open house followed by a brief presentation by OEA and a formal public comment period during which interested parties will have the opportunity to convey oral comments.
