Why, oh why would we send this contaminated soil to Belleville, MI? It is practically on top of Belleville Lake which flows into the Huron River heading directly to Lake Erie.
With about 20% of the WORLDS fresh water supply connected by channels and rivers this seems criminally stupid.

Ohio EPA decided to send it to Michigan… Who accepted it?
“Soil that was contaminated as a result of the East Palestine train derailment is starting to be shipped off to Michigan.
The process began Thursday, according to a press release from Gov. Mike DeWine.
Under the direction of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Norfolk Southern brought in large dump trucks to move the soil to U.S. Ecology Wayne Disposal, a licensed hazardous waste disposal facility in Michigan.”
