A Grafton, Ohio incinerator business said it has agreed to accept waste from the East Palestine train derailment after the EPA announced that two Ohio facilities already accepting waste from the site don’t have enough capacity to handle it all.
“We really do want to make that clear. The amount of that particular substance is minimal compared to what was originally spilled in East Palestine,” said one company representative during a news conference Monday.The CEO said incineration is the best available technology to safely handle this material.
“Norfolk Southern must comply with all federal, state and local requirements related to transportation,” Shore said. “These extensive requirements cover everything from proper waste labeling, packaging, and handling, as well as requirements for shipping documents that provide information about the wastes and where they're going.”
