When will water no longer need to be collected to be returned to Sulphur Run?
We anticipate in the next two-to-four weeks, this work will start in sections of the derailment site. Soil analysis during the double-check phase is needed to remove the hazardous waste listing from the collected wastewater. Data are showing that water flowing over or through sections of the derailment area do not have hazardous wastes associated with the derailment. This data, and any future sampling data of water pooled in the ditches, will be used to restore flow from portions of the ditches to Sulphur Run. Restoring things back to the way they were before the derailment has always been a cleanup goal, and it is important to know that this restoration of water flow from the ditches to the creeks will not harm the creeks.
