These alternatives have now been narrowed down and those being retained for further study, along with their environmental impacts, are outlined in a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The DEIS will be presented at a series of upcoming public hearings. The hearings mark the last public event for the Tier 1 EIS, which is the next step toward selecting an alternative that will add a second track to increase the number of high-speed trains and daily round trips in the corridor. The media is invited to attend a Briefing prior to the public hearing on the date and location listed below. |   |  |   | Date Created:   | 07 30 2012 |   |  |   | Agency ID:   | 841**12 |   |  |   | ISL ID:   | 000000044584   Original UID: 24080 FIRST WORD: Public |   |
