A pair of Indiana Republican lawmakers sent a letter to EPA Administrator Michael Regan asking why the East Palestine cleanup was paused after Democrat lawmakers complained.
"They told us there were five trucks that came today from Ohio that they have 99 percent water and one percent the vinyl chloride. And that going forward all of it is on pause and another site is likely to be found," Dingell said.Braun and Baird stated that they were concerned the EPA's decision was ultimately made"in response to objections from elected officials in Michigan" and not as a safety consideration.
"This does not appear to have been the case in Indiana," Braun and Baird wrote."In fact, in his statement on February 28, Governor of Indiana Eric Holcomb explained that he learned about the decision to transport contaminated materials to Roachdale ‘third-hand.’" "Specifically, our constituents have requested increased oversight because they share our concerns about the decision to transport contaminated materials to the Roachdale, Indiana facility," the lawmakers wrote before firing off multiple questions to the EPA administrator.
