The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has ordered CSX to clean up and restore the areas affected by the February 16 train derailment in Mt. Carbon, WV. Twenty-seven cars derailed from the 109-car CSX train carrying more than three million gallons of crude oil from the Bakken Shale in North Dakota. The derailment resulted in an explosion, fires, loss of a house, and required nearby residents to evacuate.

The EPA order follows an emergency response conducted under a Unified Command with federal, state and local agencies and CSX responding.

Under EPA’s order, CSX must first develop and submit a comprehensive plan for all the areas impacted by the derailment. CSX has committed significant resources to respond to the derailment and has worked closely with the Unified Command at the scene. The plan must include short-term and long-term cleanup and restoration.  MOREHERE
