The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (“NDEQ”) and BNSF Railway Company (Alliance Facility) (“BRC”) entered into an October 1st Consent Order (“CO”) addressing the operation of three coal-fired boilers at the Alliance Facility diesel shop in Box Butte County, Nebraska.
The CO states that BRC Alliance Facility involves locomotive service, repair, and maintenance activities.
