Surface Transportation Board 

[STB Finance Docket No. 35116] 

R.J. 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 

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.
