Federal environmental authorities have ordered a temporary halt in the shipment of Contaminated Waste from the site of a fiery train derailment earlier this month in eastern Ohio near the Pennsylvania state line. The waste will be disposal at an EPA-certified facility in Texas, but until Friday, Norfolk Southern had been solely responsible for the disposal. Going forward, disposal plans including locations and transportation routes for contaminated waste will be subject to EPA review and approval. Many residents still express a sense of mistrust or have lingering questions about what they have been exposed to and how it will impact the future of their families and their communities.
