Federal environmental authorities have ordered a temporary halt in the shipment of contaminated waste from the site of a fiery train derailment earlier this month in eastern near the state line.
Region 5 administrator Debra Shore of the Environmental Protection Agency said Saturday the agency ordered Norfolk Southern to 'pause' shipments from the site of the February 3 derailment in but vowed that removal of the material would resume 'very soon.'
'Everyone wants this contamination gone from the community. They don't want the worry, and they don't want the smell, and we owe it to the people of East to move it out of the community as quickly as possible,' Shore said.
