The Department of Energy wants to hear from you on a proposed rail line to carry radioactive waste to Yucca Mountain. The rail line, known as the Caliente Corridor, would be 319 miles long and go from Caliente, Nevada to Yucca Mountain.
The DOE wants to set aside a one mile path for the rail line. The set aside prevents any new mining claims and prevents any other federal agencies from using the land. It's also nearby habitat for the desert tortoise. The DOE is not obligated to hold meetings on this issue, but they've scheduled three.
Public meetings:
Monday, September 12
