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.
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).
