EPA orders Norfolk Southern to clean up Ohio train derailment site and pay all costs

If the company fails to complete any of the actions ordered by the EPA, the agency will “immediately” conduct the work and seek to compel Norfolk Southern to pay triple the cost.

“The Environmental Protection Agency announced a sweeping enforcement action against Norfolk Southern on Tuesday, compelling the rail company to conduct and pay for cleanup actions associated with the Feb. 3 derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio.

“The Norfolk Southern train derailment has upended the lives of East Palestine families, and EPA’s order will ensure the company is held accountable for jeopardizing the health and safety of this community,” said EPA Administrator Michael Regan in remarks prepared for a news conference in East Palestine. “Let me be clear: Norfolk Southern will pay for cleaning up the mess they created and for the trauma they’ve inflicted on this community.”

If the company fails to complete any of the actions ordered by the EPA, the agency will “immediately” conduct the necessary work and then seek to compel Norfolk Southern to pay triple the cost. The order will require the company to identify and clean contaminated soil and water; pay any EPA costs, including reimbursing the agency for cleaning services that it will offer to residents and businesses; and participate in public meetings at EPA’s request and post information on-line.“

Didn't the EPA say everything there was safe before?

They should clear that up for all of us.

I have seen this on creeks and rivers. Always thought the acid in the leaves was the reason.

NTSB: Crew tried to stop train before East Palestine derailment

While not reaching a conclusive reason as to why a Norfolk Southern train derailed in Ohio earlier this month, the National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday morning that it was continuing to look at an overheated wheel bearing on the first car to go off the tracks.

news.yahoo.com

“In a preliminary report, the NTSB wrote that it had identified “a wheel bearing in the final stage of overheat failure moments before the derailment” on the 23rd car, the first to derail. The report said “hot bearing detectors” picked up a temperature 253 degrees above normal prior to the derailment. The train was traveling at 47 mph, just below the 50 mph speed limit.

Sensors showed the bearing heating up for miles before the crash, but it spiked sharply immediately before the accident. The crew heeded the final warning and tried to stop the train for an inspection.

“After the train stopped, the crew observed fire and smoke and notified the Cleveland East dispatcher of a possible derailment,” read the report.“

Gotta give Trump credit. Showing up before the Biden Administration and with supplies is a good way to win a Presidential election.

Depends on whether he's back to posting about the stolen 2020 election today.

Talking points. Evil Republicans made that train derail. Ignore that we didn't change anything and Biden's total failure.

We can imagine how Putin might have felt when the President of the United States visited Kyiv. Mainstream media outlets are probably feeling very similarly about the former and increasingly likely future President of the United States' visit to East Palestine.
