The proposed Union Pacific Red Rock Classification Yard will be predominantly placed on already developed land. In the map below you will notice that the vast majority of the proposed Classification Yard and industrial park area is in existing farm land. Farmland poses more hazards to desert wildlife through pesticides, fertilizers and run-off. Compared to the land's historical use as farmland, the Classification Yard will actually reduce chemical hazards to wildlife. The Classification Yard will not be displacing wildlife or introducing foreign chemicals into the environment in the same way agricultural fields would.
