County, BNSF Adjust Depot Conditions

BNSF and Kootenai County appear to have resolved differences over conditions of operation at the poorly located railroad refueling station over the Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer near Hauser. Recall that BNSF objected to tougher new conditions the County proposed last year, and ran immediately to the courthouse. Now, scheduled for a hearing before a hearing examiner September 1st, are a new set of conditions that BNSF appears to have agreed to. The main change between what was proposed last year and what will go to the hearing examiner this year appears to govern what happens when something goes horribly wrong/ Terry Harris , KEA Blog.

Question: Are you surprised that nothing has gone “horribly wrong” so far during BNSF’s operation of the refueling depot at Hauser (that we know about)?
