[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2747707, member: 63925"] So what a farce at all levels of government. They are REQUIRED to have in place energency action response plans for THIS VERY SCENARIO. The EPA Chemical Response, LEPC, SERC, DOT PHMSA. [B]DOT PHMSA Mission Statement PHMSA's mission is to protect people and the environment by advancing the safe transportation of energy and other hazardous materials that are essential to our daily lives. To do this, the agency establishes national policy, sets and enforces standards, educates, and conducts research to prevent incidents. We also prepare the public and first responders to reduce consequences if an incident does occur.[/B] Based upon what I see, there will be a need for significant soil removal to insure the contamination is not further released into air, groundwater and surface water from the spill response reclamation activities. As you remove excavate soil, chemicals trapped or bound in soil can be further released from excavation actions and or from precipitation. The faster you address this the less likelihood of additional environmental damage. This will require extensive protective zones for the people of East Palestine. The amount of soil removal will be incredible and prob require secure landfill. If Norfolk does not respond fast enough, EPA has the complete authority to respond with spill response contractors to initiate cleanup which has not started. I cannot conceive WHY! Furthermore, this area will REQUIRE extensive groundwater testing to validate safety of the groundwater. Geezus, we require extensive groundwater testing and reclamation for a gas station. I would expect a long term groundwater testing program for this area. I spent 40+ years in the Environmental field and my opinion of the lack of immediate spill response and cleanup is unconscionable. [/QUOTE]
