Notes: Land conversions for new stations are inclusive of acquisitions and possible displacements since the FRA assumed that all new station would require acquisitions. There are no wild and scenic rivers or other water resources identified near new stations. EJ populations were identified on a county level and not affiliated with individual station effects.
X = Potential for Effects
— = Not applicable within that alternative/option
Blank Cell = No effects identified for subject resource for listed station for specified alternative.
Due to the nature of noise and vibration impacts, they are not affiliated with individual stations.
