Submission Text
Hi.· This is Krayden Haslem. I would just like to provide a comment real quick.

[pause]

Yeah, I just wanted to provide a little different perspective.· I was a pilot that flew this area quite a bit as a pipeline controller for compressed natural gas, both towards Craig and towards
Price.· The area that is going to be impacted by the Craig route that all the people in Argyle Canyon are proposing is a way bigger area, and it's beautiful. Both areas are beautiful.· I get that.· I get that they are upset that their cabin places are getting encroached on.· I get that.· I get how that's upsetting.· I get how the sage grouse are important. I also get that this community needs some extra things.

If oil and gas is truly going away, this rail line won't be used for moving oil and gas.· It will be used for whatever is new.· And I'm excited to see that growth.·Thank you.
