Will cleaning the creeks be the last action taken at Sulphur Run and Leslie Run?

EPA’s Order requires detailed identification (characterization) of contamination in Sulphur Run and Leslie Run. The stream characterization will include surface water and sediment testing for contaminants of concern including vinyl chloride and butyl acrylate. This stream characterization will find any areas of remaining contamination and inform the next steps for responding agencies. Norfolk Southern will continue regular testing of surface water from Sulphur Run to the Ohio River, and the East Palestine Municipal Water Supply will continue to be tested weekly.
