, saying they were never told on Friday.
Evans said that the solid waste from the derailment site would be sent to the Republic site in Van Buren Township - but it is unclear if any has been delivered yet. The NCI says vinyl chloride exposure is associated with an increased risk of a rare form of liver cancer, primary liver cancer, brain and lung cancers, lymphoma, and leukemia.
Dingell defended the Environmental Protection Agency, adding it now has control of the clean-up. She said although the EPA took over Tuesday the order was not signed until Friday. "Residents of Romulus and Van Buren Township deserve to know what is happening in their communities, especially when it comes to hazardous materials coming in from out of state," he said. The communities that have to take this toxic waste were just notified late this afternoon and told there is nothing they can do to stop it because Republic is a private company and can choose whether or not to take it—this is inexcusable.
"The process to remove the contaminated soil from the site of the Norfolk Southern derailment began today. Under the direction of the Ohio EPA, Norfolk Southern brought in large dump trucks to move contaminated soil to. This will be a continuous effort to properly manage and safely dispose of the waste.
