INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION NOTICE AB 37 lSiih-.No.fi) RAILROAD AND NAVIGATION COMPANY ABANDON MENT ANT) ABAN DONMENT OF OPERATION BY IN ION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY OK "UMATILLA HRANCII" BETWEEN UMATILLA AND 1RRK.ON IN I M AT1I.LA AND MORROW COUNTIES, OREGON February 25, 1977 The Interstate Com merce Commission hereby gixes notice that its Section of Energy and Environment has concluded that the pro posed abandonment by llie Oregon, Washington Railroad and Naviga tion Company and the proposed abandonment of operations by the Union Pacific Railroad Company of the Uma tilla Branch extending 7.5 miles from Umatilla to Irrigon in Umatilla and Morrow Counties, Ore., if approved by the Commission, does not constitute a major Fed eral action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment wilhiii the meaning of the National Environ mental Policy Act of (NEPA), 12 U.S.C. ss-ss 1321. et seq., and that preparation of a detailed environmental impact statement will not be required under section 1332(2X0 of the NEPA. It as concluded, among other things, that no traffic has been generated on the branch for at least five years and no industries which would be dependent on the line for rail service ;re located in or plan ned for the adjacent area. Moreover alter native transportation is r Flying H Breeding Service Curtis Semen A I Supplies Aniriisl Health Products Nitrop Service Jim Hayes 676-9841 or 676-5367 available over the UP main line and the navi gable Columbia River. Inasmuch as the line would be reclassified to a sidetrack if the aban donment is approved and continue in use for the storage of cars, the proposed abandonment is not expected to ad versely affect the exist ing environment nor have a serious adverse effect on rural and com munity development. Because ownership would be retained by the railroad, the right-of-way would not be suit able for public use. This conclusion is contained in a staff prepared environment al threshold assessment survey, which is avail able on request to the Interstate Commerce Commission, Office of Proceedings, Washing ton. D.C. 20423; tele phone 202275-7011. Interested persons may comment on this matter by filing their statements in writing with the Interstate Com merce Commission, Washington, D.C. 20423, on or before April 13, 1977. It should be empha sized that the environ mental threshold as sessment survey repre sents an evaluation of the environmental is sues in the proceeding and does not purport to resolve the issue of whether the present or future public conveni ence and necessity per mit discontinuance of the line proposed for abandonment. Conse quently, comments on the environmental study should be limited to discussion of the pres ence or absence of en vironmental impacts and reasonable alterna tives. ROBERT L.
