Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine assured residents again on Friday that the air and water in the community of East Palestine were largely safe following a toxic train derailment.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan says he hesitated to visit East Palestine, Ohio, because he wanted emergency responders to focus on helping people, ‘not visitations.’
The governor on Friday repeated assurances that municipal water was safe, but added that a section of the Sulphur Run stream – located near the crash site – is still contaminated. Air and water testing would continue as long as necessary. Environmental Protection Agency Administration Michael Regan walked along a creek that still reeks of chemicals on Thursday and sought to reassure skeptical residents that the air and water were safe.
