What happens after the track work is completed?
The track work has been the highest priority to remove most contamination as early as possible. This, plus preventing the spread of contamination by capturing water from the site and constructing a bypass of Sulphur Run around the site will continue into June. While track work and water management continue, EPA has been reviewing Norfolk Southern’s plan to do a full assessment of the areas surrounding the derailment site, including waterways. Further cleanup work will be conducted in areas identified during this assessment.
