To date, the U.S. EPA has not detected contaminants associated with the derailment while testing air quality within area homes, said DeWine.
COLUMBIANA COUNTY, Ohio - Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine will return to East Palestine Wednesday to meet with various officials cleaning up the toxic Norfolk-Southern train derailment from Feb. 3.
Heavy rain in East Palestine on Monday resulted in increased water flow in the contaminated section of Sulphur Run, which remains dammed to the east and west, said DeWine. He added any rainwater that enters the contaminated section of the creek is considered contaminated and vacuumed from the site. According to DeWine, water sample results from private water systems of East Palestine area homes continue to show no harmful levels of contaminants.
