The United States, on behalf of the Department of the Interior and the State of Iowa, is seeking public comments on a proposed settlement with Canadian Pacific Railway (CP). This settlement addresses the damage to natural resources caused by an ethanol spill from a derailed CP train near the Mississippi River in 2015. CP has agreed to pay $282,391 for restoration efforts, and in return, will not face legal action from the trustees for these claims. The public has 30 days from the notice's publication date to submit comments, which can be sent via email or mail.
Simple Explanation
The United States and the state of Iowa want to make sure Canadian Pacific Railway helps fix the environment after a big train accident spilled ethanol into a river. Canadian Pacific will pay money to make things better, and this notice is asking people to share their thoughts on this plan.
