-----------------------------***-----------------------------
The Surface Transportation Board today announced a public hearing to be
held in Conejos, Colo., on a proposal by the San Luis and & Rio Grande
Railroad to transfer onto railcars containers of contaminated dirt and
debris from trucks originating at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New
Mexico.
The Board has instituted a declaratory order proceeding to
determine whether the Boardâs jurisdiction preempts the
land-use code of Conejos County, Colo., where the
transloading would take place.
The public hearing is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 17, 2011
at 10 a.m. at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Hall, 6631
County Road 13, Conejos, Colo. During the public hearing,
Board staff will listen to comments regarding the issue.
The hearing will continue until all interested parties have
had an opportunity to speak. A transcript of the meeting
will later be posted on the Boardâs website,
www.stb.dot.gov.
