JUST IN: Contaminated waste from the East Palestine train derailment is coming to Indiana, according to the EPA.
EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Contaminated waste from the site of a fiery train derailment in Ohio began moving out again Monday, after concerns were raised during the weekend about oversight of where it was being shipped, federal officials said.
According to its website, Roachdale has a population of around 1,000 people and is located in northeastern Putnam County. Officials on Saturday had ordered Norfolk Southern to “pause” shipments to allow additional oversight measures. Some liquid and solid waste had already been taken to sites in Michigan and Texas.
Some of the remaining liquid waste is going to a facility in Vickery, Ohio, for disposal in an underground injection well. Norfolk Southern is also shipping solid waste to an incinerator in East Liverpool, Ohio.
