Public Hearing - EISs for the Proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal ...

11/3/2012
1 Exxon Valdez -- and I'm just speaking of oil spills
2 here -- and the BP gulf disaster, please do a study, a
3 comparative study of how a collision here would impact
4 our much smaller waters and more miles of shoreline
5 than in open waters.
6 Three. I have asthma so I'm really
7 interested in learning more about the impacts of what
8 I'm going to be breathing once it's burned in China,
9 because I developed asthma just in the last ten years.
10 Four. Earthquakes. We're due for the big
11 one. We have the Pacific, Cascadia, San Juan faults
12 and many others; how will SSA and Peabody or anybody
13 guarantee that there will be no devastating accidents
14 and spills? What studies are being done to assess the
15 risk of a seven, eight, or nine earthquake on the
16 Richter scale.
17 I ask that you have academic studies have
18 more weight. I ask that you have programmatic and
19 comprehensive studies have the most weight.
20 And I'm concerned about if Peabody and SSA
21 do their own studies, how will those be monitored to
22 make sure that they are fair and not corrupt. Thank
23 you.
