I've been doing a lot of research on the Gateway Pacific Terminal/Custer Spur projects. Basically, big industry wants to claim 1500 acres of land in Washington effecting Native Tribes and their contracts with the U.S. gov. and increasing pollution of the water and land. There is a case going on right now where a tribe had a contract with the Govt. about how many rail cars can go in and out of their territory. A big concern for the tribes is derailment and oil spills... not to mention that the govt. is sneaking around on policy--again, again, again.
Our company wants to help move other cases to court. So, the next step in the EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) is to be reported mid 2015, accordingly. There are going to be many tribal councils representing American Indian people. Every comment that is reported will be written down and provided to the public. I will likely be looking through this material attempting to find a complaint that may allow us to ask the individual to represent the case.
I'm writing a report on the Gateway that will hopefully be on the news page by the end of the week.
