Two Colorado legislators ask the EPA to help evaluate the risks of the Uinta Basin Railway Project, which aims to create a new railway connection in Utah that would link up with an existing rail line in Colorado that runs through Eagle County
The letter says an existing EPA review of the project “had several shortcomings,” including an omission of impacts to Colorado such as “the risk of a derailment and oil spill in the headwaters of the River.”
Project supporters say the Uinta Basin Railway Project would move an essential product in a safe and cost-effective way, but detractors say that product — waxy crude oil extracted in Utah’s Uinta Basin — is too toxic of a substance to be transported alongside the Colorado River with how common train derailments are in the United States.
