East Palestine, OH Water Still Tastes Like Bacon… Pothole Pete Vows Swimming ‘Open’ By Spring

East Palestine train derailment site cleanup will likely take about 3 months, EPA administrator says

CNN–Cleanup of the toxic train derailment site in the Ohio town of East Palestine will likely take about three months, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency said Friday.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan said 6.8 million gallons of liquid waste and more than 5,400 tons of solid waste have already been transported to designated facilities – including 1,600 tons in the past 48 hours.

The train wreck early last month ignited a dayslong fire, spewed poisonous fumes into the air, killed thousands of fish and temporarily displaced residents.
