Contaminated toxic waste from the Ohio train derailment is being shipped to an incinerator in Grafton, Ohio, and landfill in Roachdale, Indiana.
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.
The EPA now is getting close to having enough certified facilities to take all of the waste from the site of the Feb. 3 derailment in East Palestine, said Debra Shore, a regional administrator with the agency. About 1.8 million gallons of liquid waste have been collected from the derailment site, according to the Ohio EPA.
