The head of the EPA says he thinks Norfolk Southern Railway could have been more 'aggressive' in its initial response to the hazardous train derailment in Ohio.
. When asked whether he believes the headaches, sore throats and other ailments reported by residents are related to the Feb. 3 derailment, Regan told ABC News: "You know, we just don't know and I don't want to speculate. What I want to do is assure people if they are experiencing an adverse health impact, seek medical attention and, hopefully, that information will make its way to the county health officials.
"Let me also be crystal clear: Norfolk Southern will pay for cleaning up the mess that they created and the trauma that they inflicted on this community and impacted Beaver County residents," he said. "I know this order cannot undo the nightmare that families in this town have been living with, but it will begin to deliver much-needed justice for the pain that Norfolk Southern has caused.
"During that meeting, I expressed our concerns and expectations regarding the clean-up efforts," Conaway said in a statement that night. "I was assured by both that we will not be alone throughout this process and have their full support. After that meeting, I am confident that we will receive the help we need."
