Residents remain extremely concerned over the air and water quality.
Federal, state and local officials have been on the ground cleaning up the contaminated site and doing round-the-clock monitoring of the air and water. On June 13, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine submitted a letter to the Federal Emergency Management Agency requesting a second extension on the deadline for Ohio to request a major disaster declaration.
“This extension would allow the State of Ohio to continue its efforts to ensure that Norfolk Southern provides the impacted areas with resources needed to recover from the event, including financial assistance, and to identify any gaps in areas of recovery where federal assistance may be needed,” said DeWine.
