The tongue river railroad company (trrc) proposed the construction of a 130-mile railroad line in southeastern montana. trrc received the approval of the interstate commerce commission. however, the northern plains resource council argued that the approval was given without a full analysis of the impact of the line on aquatic life, wildlife, and sensitive plants. what are northern plains resource council’s options? there are no options because trrc is a private entity. there are no options because a government agency is not taking any action, trrc is. one option is to challenge the adequacy of the eis for the line. the best option is an mact challenge.
