Wastewater collected from the Ohio train derailment site could be headed to Maryland for treatment, Baltimore City and Baltimore County officials announced Friday afternoon.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said the city received a letter late Thursday from contractor Clean Harbors Environmental and Industrial Services, stating that the company is one of many sites across the country selected by the Environmental Protection Agency to accept, treat and discharge the wastewater collected from rainwater at the city-run Back River Waste Water Treatment Plant in Dundalk.

Clean Harbors wrote in its letter: "Clean Harbors proposes to begin receiving this wastewater immediately once approval is granted. The initial known quantity currently loaded in rail cars is 675,000 gallons."

The cleanup from this disaster will go on for MANY years; sadly, NS will likely get off the hook and the American taxpayers will foot the bill. NS should be liquidated and all responsible parties that ordered disregard for safety measures in management should get prison.

The burning of toxins was done with complete disregard for clear and unequivocal guidelines and protocols. Among them was the injection of super oxygen into the flame to burn off toxicity. This results in white smoke. The black smoke emanating from the pyre is clear evidence that protocol was ignored in favor of complete disregard for human life. This was a deliberate toxic contamination of a residential neighborhood. How is that not criminal?

I heard this on radio today, but not the full discussion.

What is the point of collecting wastewater that is further contaminated and sending it somewhere else?

What am I not comprehending?

What are we trying to accomplish?

We send back clean water to OH? “Clean” waste water to them?

Fed gov’t group creating a problem requiring fed gov’t group to pay another group for ‘services’. Simply moving funds around.

Poland Springs water is NOT from "tap water". It comes from their own wells scattered around Maine. If you want to see one, go on route 2 through Hanover, Maine.

The pumps and storage tanks are on the north side of the road, less than a mile west of the intersection of route 5 north. Across the road from the well, you will usually see bobbed deuce and a halfs and 5 tons one of my friends makes and sells.

Come to visit during Andover Old Home Days for the parade of tanks and other historic military equipment.

On the way up route 5 there is a literal mountain of lithium crystals that the owner can't mine due to Maine's anti mining law that allows no mine more than 3 acres in size.

If you come on July 14-15, you will see a lot of rally cars, ham radio operators officials, marshals and spectators on those roads transiting to and from South Arm and Icicle Brook stages of the New England Forest Rally.

Watch for the U1300L Unimog with a Zeppelin NATO radio shelter, that's me.

I don’t know. Ask Mike DeWine. He approved the burnoff.

“initial known quantity currently loaded in rail cars “

Hope the tracks and cars are in good shape.
