The Surface Transportation Board (STB) will host 10 public meetings on the Draft EIS for the Tongue River Railroad.STB will begin each meeting with a 30 minute open house followed by a brief overview of the proposed project and environmental review process. The overview will be followed by a formal comment period. A court reporter will be present to record these oral comments. The STB will not respond to oral and written comments at the meetings. Rather, comments on the Draft EIS will be addressed in writing in the Final EIS.
