The EPA said the settlement will cover government cleanup costs and pay to monitor health and water for residents affected by the crash in East Palestine, Ohio.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Thursday a $310 million settlement with Norfolk Southern Railway Company to pay for damages from the derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio, in February 2023, as well as for long-term health and environmental monitoring.

Additionally, Regan said, Norfolk Southern agreed to rail safety enhancements that he estimated will cost $200 million.
