Document Description: This is the 2nd amendment to the orginal Order. The Project will construct approximately 87 miles of the overall HSt project. The Project includes the HSt tracks, structures, stations, traction power substations, maintenance facilities, and train vehicles. The HSt would use four different track types: at-grade, elevated by either a structure or on a retained fill platform, and below-grade tracks in a retained cut. The type of bridges that might be built includes full channel spans, large box culverts, or for some larger river crossings, piers within the ordinary high-water channel. This amendment provides for ecological restoration and enhancement work at approved mitigation sites.
