Submission Text
Our Frisby Family owns a total of almost 30 acres in Argyle Canyon for decades. We have planned for years to retire and be full time residents there beginning in 2022. We have scrimped, saved and worked hard to make our future home as environmentally friendly as possible. The air in the Uinta Basin already EXCEEDS federal standards. Bringing more oil & gas development would make it much worse! The proposed routes traverse over 10,000 acres of this beautiful unspoiled area. The wildlife here is diverse & lovely. The project would kill Indian Creek Canyons ecosystem. Including areas of endangered species. The noise & pollution from diesel trains would forever mar our beloved area. We love our future home. We love watching the wildlife, enjoying the peace, serenity and the fresher air. Please, DO NOT DESTROY OUR CANYON.
