Corman Railroad Company/ Pennsylvania Lines Inc.—Construction and Operation Exemption—In Clearfield County, PA ACTION: Notice of Availability of the Final Scope of Study for the Environmental Impact Statement. SUMMARY: On May 20, 2008, R.J. Corman Railroad Company/Pennsylvania Lines Inc. (RJCP) filed a petition with the Surface Transportation Board (Board) pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502 for PO 00000 Frm 00092 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 authority to construct and operate an abandoned 10.8-mile rail line between Wallaceton Junction and Winburne in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania (the Western Segment) and to reactivate a connecting 9.3-mile line between Winburne and Gorton in Clearfield and Centre Counties, Pennsylvania (the Eastern Segment) that is currently being used for interim trail use, subject to the possible restoration of rail service (rail banking) pursuant to the Trails Act, 16 U.S.C. 1247(d). In total, the proposed project would involve the construction, rebuilding, and operation of approximately 20 miles of the former Beech Creek Rail Line to serve a new quarry, landfill, and industrial park being developed by Resource Recovery, LLC, near Gorton, Pennsylvania.1 Because this project has the potential to result in significant environmental impacts, the Board’s Section of Environmental Analysis (SEA) has determined that the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is appropriate pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). On January 8, 2009, SEA published a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS in the Federal Register announcing the start of the scoping process, the availability of the Draft Scope of Study, and the date/time/ location for a public scoping meeting. Invitation letters for the public scoping meeting were mailed to 31 federal, state, and local agencies, as well as local elected officials. Additionally, an advertisement was placed in two local area newspapers, the Centre Daily Times and the Progress News, to announce the public scoping meeting. Approximately 130 individuals attended the open-house scoping meeting held on February 10, 2009 at the Philipsburg-Osceola Area Senior High School in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. In total, SEA received: • 100 comments from individuals attending the open house meeting; • 13 comment letters; and • 17 individual comments filed electronically on the Board’s Web site/ e-mail. 1 On July 27, 2009, the Board issued a decision finding that RJCP does not need construction authority under 49 U.S.C. 10901 or 49 U.S.C. 10502 to reactivate the rail banked Eastern Segment. Nevertheless, the environmental review process will encompass the entire 20 miles of proposed rail line (i.e., both the Eastern and Western Segments), for the reasons discussed in the Draft Scope of Study and the Board’s July 27th decision. See R.J. Corman Railroad Company/Pennsylvania Lines Inc.—Construction and Operation Exemption—In Clearfield County, PA, STB Finance Docket No. 35116 (STB served July 27, 2009).
