Baltimore Rejects Ohio Wastewater Treatment Request
TL;DR
Baltimore officials blocked Clean Harbors from using the city's sewer system to treat contaminated runoff water from the Ohio train derailment site, citing concerns about risks to the city's public sewage plant. The federal Environmental Protection Agency is overseeing the remediation, which is being carried out by Norfolk Southern, the railroad that operated the derailed train. The situation in Baltimore is the latest challenge to cleaning the train derailment site amid opposition from communities unwilling to accept waste.
