    Has the APA conducted any wetland impact studies on the areas impacted?? Publish the results and give us something to comment on.

    What was effected in the wetlands by removing the rails? Wasn’t there a impact study done on the corridor when the rails were in place? ????????

    more crap and red tape, they should have left the railroad in place and made the trail next to it…snowmobilers, Atv’s and 4 wheelers will destroy it! Just like many other area’s where out of towners come in and ruin other landowners property.
    Why don’t you do a environmently impact statement on my property that was ruined by out of towners ripping up and down the road with smoke and noise pollution!

    Obviously public comment means nothing or the rails would be out to Old Forge from LP rather than a smoke spewing train on creosote stinking ties to the tune of $19.1 million that only covered a small amount of the rail restoration to Tupper Lake now a year over due and $$$$$$$$$$$$$over budget.
