What could possibly go wrong this time? The left wing biased Associated Press eariler today reported that the EPA had paused transportation of contamtented waste through East Palestine, only to later today reverse decision and resume shipment of waste. The Associate Press gleefully reported this, referring to the toxic train derailment/chemical spill as a “fiery train derailment”.
Shipment of contaminated waste from the site of a fiery train derailment earlier this month in eastern Ohio near the Pennsylvania state line will resume Monday to two approved sites in Ohio, according to federal environmental authorities.
The announcement came a day after the Environmental Protection Agency ordered Norfolk Southern to “pause” shipments from the site of the Feb. 3 derailment in East Palestine to allow additional oversight measures about where waste was shipped. Some liquid and solid waste had already been taken to sites in Michigan and Texas.
EPA-certified facilities able to accept some of the waste had been identified, which meant shipments could restart Monday, Region 5 administrator Debra Shore, of the Environmental Protection Agency, said Sunday.
