Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has provided an update on remediation efforts of the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
Severe weather resulting in heavy rain increased water flow in the contaminated section of Sulphur Run. It is dammed to the east and west and any rainwater that enters that section is considered contaminated and vacuumed from the site.
Ohio EPA says the rain caused minor damage to some containment, collection, and stream treatment systems and may have allowed a small amount of heavily diluted contaminates to flow from Sulphur Run to Leslie Run.
