DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Surface Transportation Board
[STB Finance Docket No. 34836]
Arizona Eastern Railway—
Construction and Operation—Graham
County, AZ
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
AGENCIES: Lead: Surface Transportation
Board. Cooperating: Federal Railroad
Administration.
ACTION: Notice of Availability of Post
Environmental Assessment.
SUMMARY: On August 4, 2006, the
Arizona Eastern Railway (AZER) filed a
petition with the Surface Transportation
Board (Board) seeking an exemption
under 49 United States Code (U.S.C.)
10502 from prior approval requirements
of 49 U.S.C. 10901 for authority to
construct and operate 12 miles of new
rail line in Graham County, Arizona
(AZ). The Board, pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
10901, is the agency responsible for
granting authority for the construction
and operation of new rail line facilities.
On February 25, 2008, the Board’s
Section of Environmental Analysis
(SEA) and the Federal Railroad
Administration, a cooperating agency,
issued an Environmental Assessment
(EA) in this proceeding. The EA was
made available to agencies, the public,
and interested parties for a 36-day
public comment period. The Board
extended the comment period by
another 30 days to May 1, 2008 in
response to stakeholders’ requests. SEA
received 25 comments on the EA. The
Post EA responds to those comments
and makes final environmental
recommendations to the Board.
Based on its independent analysis of
all information available to date, SEA
concludes that the Applicant’s Proposed
Action would not result in any
significant environmental impacts if the
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
mitigation measures recommended in
this Post EA are imposed and
implemented. Accordingly, SEA
recommends that any decision by the
Board approving the proposed
construction and operation of the
Proposed Action should be contingent
upon AZER complying with the
mitigation set forth in Chapter 1 of the
Post EA. SEA recommends 40
mitigation measures in the Post EA that
are either new mitigation measures
based on SEA’s additional analysis or
modifications of the 39 mitigation
measures previously proposed in the
EA. These conditions, which SEA
developed in response to comments and
additional analysis, address a broad
range of issues including traffic safety,
flooding impacts, and the transportation
and handling of hazardous materials.
Because the Proposed Action, as
mitigated, would not have the potential
for significant environmental effects,
preparation of an EA for this case is
appropriate and the full Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) process is
unnecessary.
The Board will now consider the
entire environmental record, including
SEA’s final recommended mitigation
measures and all environmental
comments received in this proceeding,
in making its final decision as to
whether to approve the Proposed
Action, and if so, what mitigation to
impose.
Copies of the Post EA have been
served on all interested parties and will
be made available to additional parties
upon request. The entire EA is also
available for review on the Board’s Web
site (https://www.stb.dot.gov) by clicking
on the ‘‘Decisions and Notices’’ link,
then ‘‘E-LIBRARY’’ and searching by the
Service Date (February 25, 2008 and
April 6, 2009) or Docket Number (FD
34836).
