As a property owners along the proposed route, how will it affect us and what is the year proposed for everything to be completed?
A number of issues may affect property owners and residents. Communities along a rail or highway route could be affected largely by emergency response, health and safety issues and quality of life considerations.Although many variables and questions remain, the Department of Energy’s transportation studies are currently at a standstill. DOE has said transportation studies will not continue until Yucca Mountain is deemed technically sound or additional funding for such studies is found. At the current rate, it could take from five to eight years before transportation studies are resumed, says DOE transportation specialist Paul Standish, who works for Integrated Resources Group, Inc., under contract to the DOE.The Carlin spur is one of three rail routes that could be chosen to carry high-level nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain if the site is chosen for a repository. Two other rail spurs, the Jean and Caliente options, are also under consideration; only the Caliente option has been studied
