[Vision2020] Highway 12

[Donovan Arnold]

Perhaps we should be considering requiring oil and chemical companies to pay a damage deposit upon engaging in any activity that could negatively impact the environment. When they complete their task of transporting, mixing, drilling, pumping, etc., and there is no damage, we will return the damage deposit. If not we use it to clean up the mess.

Regarding the US Highway 12 transport of equipment:
According to Idaho Code, the Department of Transportation decision for issuing a permit is mostly engineering-based.   The state of Montana has more restrictive laws with respect to issuing permits.  According to the Department of Transportation, Idaho’s process involves such details as examining loads, clearance, and dealing with convenience to the public.   One major concern would involve the removal of one of these huge barrels should there be an accident that would, for example, put it in the river.   I wondered about Idaho approved routes for heavy trucks, but this does not apply to US highways.
According to the Department of Transportation representative to whom I spoke, Conoco-Phillips and EXXON-Mobile have agreed to hold public meetings to discuss the plans.  They will probably be held in Lewiston and Kooskia, and will be announced in the paper.  The Idaho Department of Transportation has not yet issues the permit.
