HARRIS COUNTY, Texas The Environmental Protection Agency will pause the disposing of any wastewater from an Ohio train derailment in Harris County, according to Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee. The agency later confirmed the move in a statement to KHOU 11.
Jackson Lee said on Twitter she "worked intensely with the EPA and EPA administrator in recent days to protect the community from toxic waste disposal."

KHOU 11's Maria Aguilera spoke with the congresswoman about the pause.
"The EPA administrator has indicated that no disposal will take place without federal review by the EPA. And I think that is excellent. That is a great step forward and is generated by the concern of officials here in Harris County and my taking their concern to the federal government," Jackson Lee said. "They will now be reviewing the transport at the level of toxicity and the safety measures that will be taken."
The EPA said Norfolk Southern was "solely responsible for the disposal of waste generated by the East Palestine train derailment site" until Feb. 24.
Norfolk Southern was supplied with a list of disposal facilities, according to the EPA. They were then told to immediately pause waste shipments within 24 hours. Plans, disposal, and transportation of waste will now be subject to EPA approval, the agency said.
"I thought it was wrong to bring toxic waste to a community 1,300 miles away, with no notice to our local officials and no notice to those of us who represent parts of the area," Jackson Lee said.
According to Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, about half a million gallons of wastewater are already here. Texas Molecular, a facility in Deer Park, was expected to receive two million gallons in total.

paused but

why are they moving very very very toxic water 1300 miles across the country in a bunch of trucks

sounds like it took 30 trucks to transport just 500k gallons of it and they have 1.5 million gallons left to transport

and they just gonna shove it into the ground of whatever place....

contaminated toxic waters with vinyl chloride was move 1300 miles across the country to Houston, Texas area

DEER PARK, Texas (AP) Toxic wastewater used to extinguish a fire following a train derailment in Ohio has been transported to a Houston suburb for disposal, according to a county official in Texas who said there are outstanding questions about the transportation and disposal of the material.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said at a press conference Thursday that 500,000 gallons (1.8 million liters) of the wastewater had been delivered to Deer Park, Texas.
I know that our community was taken aback by the news just as I was, Hidalgo said. I also want folks to know there are many things we dont know that we should know. That doesnt mean that something is wrong. And I want to stress that point.
Hidalgo said the county on Wednesday learned of the wastewater transfer from the site of a fiery Feb. 3 derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, which prompted evacuations when toxic chemicals were burned after being released from five derailed tanker rail cars carrying vinyl choride that were in danger of exploding.
The wastewater has been delivered to Texas Molecular, which injects hazardous waste into the ground for disposal. The company told KHOU-TV it is experienced in managing this type of disposal.

Our technology safely removes hazardous constituents from the biosphere. We are part of the solution to reduce risk and protect the environment, whether in our local area or other places that need the capabilities we offer to protect the environment, the company said.
Hidalgo said Texas Molecular informed county officials that it had taken delivery of a half million gallons of firefighting water with the expectation of an additional 1.5 million gallons hauled to the site by about 30 trucks per day.
Its a very real problem we were told yesterday the materials were coming only to learn today theyve been here for a week, said Hidalgo, who wants more information on precautions taken at the injection well.
The delivery also raises questions about the methods of transport, which she said may include trains, and the possible health impact on workers involved in the transfers and the communities between the Ohio crash site and the disposal area in Deer Park, one of 34 communities in Harris County.

Uncertainties remain even after discussions between the county and officials from the federal Department of Transportation and Environmental Protection Agency, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and other industry and environment experts, Hidalgo said.
The government officials have readily provided the information they have, but what were learning is that they themselves dont seem to have the full information, she said. Im not clear on who has the full picture of what is happening here and that is a problem,
She noted Harris County has around 10 injection wells capable of receiving hazardous commercial waste, making the area one of the few places where the materials could be disposed. But she said there are similar facilities in Vickery, Ohio, and Romulus, Michigan, that also could handle the wastewater and are located closer to the crash site.
There may be logistical reasons for all of this. There may be economic reasons. Perhaps Texas Molecular outbid the Michigan facility, Hidalgo said. It doesnt mean theres something nefarious going on, but we do need to know the answer to this question.
Hidalgo added that she first learned Harris County was the disposal site from a journalist, not from a regulatory agency, not from the company, which she said was unacceptable.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality told KTRK-TV that Texas Molecular is authorized to accept and manage a variety of waste streams, including vinyl chloride, as part of their ... hazardous waste permit and underground injection control permit.
Dr. George Guillen, executive director of the Environmental Institute of Houston, said the chemical is very, very toxic but the risk to the public is minimal.
This injection, in some cases, is usually 4,000 or 5,000 feet down below any kind of drinking water aquifer, said Guillen, a University of Houston-Clear Lake professor of biology and environmental science.
Guillen and Deer Park resident Tammy Baxter said their greatest concerns are transporting the chemicals more than 1,300 miles (2,090 kilometers) from East Palestine to Deer Park.
There has to be a closer deep well injection, Baxter told KTRK. Its foolish to put it on the roadway. We have accidents on a regular basis ... It is silly to move it that far.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who visited the derailment site Thursday, has warned the railroad responsible for the derailment, Norfolk Southern, to fulfill its promises to clean up the mess just outside East Palestine and help the town recover.
Buttigieg also has announced a package of reforms intended to improve rail safety while regulators try to strengthen safety rules.

you said in your post above you thought what she was saying was weird and suspect

So this is like people know about this right? Like not even a hidden thing?

are you sure it was only that or did you also have active moderations on your account?

but yes, I suppose making light of a victim of domestic abuse's claims is worthy of instant 90 day purge

Hopefully it's a wake up call for some of these people.

This person in particular served as a CEO before so likely not but it should strike a chord to people not in such a space as her.

She cover herself (bikini beneath) with a towel and counts to 100 and will take off the towel.

But if you sub to her it resets the count by 1. So haters been subbing to keep to towel from coming off.

I was actually watching Sodapoppin and people in chat talked about her is only reason I know this going on.

Because he's an authority. That's what appeal to authority is. When you don't make decisions based on logic or facts or reasoning and instead based on the title of the person saying it.

You're beliving nonsense and complete fallacies with no logic because it comes from an authority figure.

There is 0 reason to nuke the country you're trying to take over that's right next to your own country, let alone a country famous for farming

And then once you're gungho on doing that being talked out of it by India.

Do you believe Trump actually won the election because he says so? Don't just accept things because the person saying it has a fancy title. People have agendas and say complete bullshit because there are folks out there who just believe whatever they are told.

Appeal to authority is if I make a claim myself then use an authority to back me up.

I did not.

I reported the news and you attacked the guy who is an authority all by yourself.

This is honestly pretty messed up when you think about it.

Google appeal to authority

Then come back then explain why any nation would nuke a nation right next door (which would effect Russia) that they are actively attempting to annex.

And then after explaining why would they do that, go to on to explain why fucking India going "Nah bruh" would make them change their mind.

It makes no fucking sense and is blatant bullshit

I am not the one saying it, he is.

I am not appealing to authority I am reporting what he said and you are saying he is wrong.
Go argue with him not me.

Russia is never going to nuke Ukraine, it's next door and they are trying to the damn thing over

If Russia nukes anyone it'd be the UK, hence why they threaten to do it every other week

I think we should all take your word over US secretary of state Antony Blinken.

Surely you have critical intel not widely available to general public and he does not.

Russia Celebrates Ukraine Anniversary With Threat to Invade Another Country

That being Poland above from Medvedev.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-medvedev-floats-idea-pushing-back-polands-borders-2023-02-24/

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said on Friday that the only way for Moscow to ensure a lasting peace with Ukraine was to push back the borders of hostile states as far as possible, even if that meant the frontiers of NATO member Poland.

Medvedev, who is now deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, made the comments in a message on his Telegram account exactly a year after Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in what it called a "special military operation" to protect Russian speakers and ensure its own security.
Ukraine says it is defending itself from an unprovoked colonial-style war of aggression and has vowed to retake all of its own territory by force, including Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.

Medvedev, an ally of President Vladimir Putin, forecast on Friday that Russia would be victorious and that some kind of loose agreement would eventually end the fighting.
"Victory will be achieved. We all want it to happen as soon as possible. And that day will come," said Medvedev. He predicted that tough negotiations with Ukraine and the West would follow that would culminate in "some kind of agreement."

China and India may have told Russia directly that they opposed any use of nuclear weapons by Moscow in Ukraine, according to US secretary of state Antony Blinken.
Speaking on the first anniversary of the full-scale invasion, Mr Blinken credited China and India for having a little bit more influence with Russia these days in stalling a potential use of nuclear weapons on the battlefield.
Mr Blinken was asked by The Atlantics Jeff Goldberg how worried Washington was in crossing a line to provoke Russian president Vladimir Putin into using nuclear weapons.
The top American diplomat said escalatory measures like nuclear weapons have not been used by Russia yet because that is the last thing that Vladimir Putin needs is himself in a wider war.
He said there were heightened concerns in some moments, such as when Ukrainian forces launched a counter offensive last Spring and Mr Putin suggested the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
... we urged, and I think successfully, other countries that might have a little bit more influence with Russia these days, like China, but also other countries like India, to engage him [Putin] directly about their absolute opposition to any use of nuclear weapons, he said.

Lithuania's PM :Ukraine get all the weps they want they are dying for Europe's safety: 'We're just losing some money'

https://www.businessinsider.com/give-ukraine-weapons-they-die-european-security-lithuania-pm-2023-2

• Ukrainians are dying to help protect European security, Lithuania's prime minister told Insider.
• That's why Ukraine should get the weapons it needs, including offensive weapons, she said.
• Ingrida imonyt added that Ukraine's allies are "not losing people. We're just losing some money."

Ukraine's allies should support Ukraine with whatever weapons it needs because Ukrainians are dying to protect Europe from Russia, Lithuania's prime minister said in an interview with Insider.
Ingrida imonyt spoke to Insider on the eve of the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
She described Russia as a threat to Europe, and said Ukrainians are dying to protect the continent's security and should be given advanced offensive weaponry.
"We are not losing people. We're just losing some money. I say we are losing, [but] I think we are investing in a way, investing into our security," she said.
"The least thing we can do is to support Ukraine with anything it needs," she added.

Lithuania has been among Ukraine's strongest backers, and has advocated for giving the country advanced weapons, striking a much less cautious tone than many of its other allies.
Lithuania was sending Ukraine weapons even before Russia's invasion began last February, at a time when Ukraine was fighting Russian-backed separatists in its east.
imonyt said supporting Ukraine is an obvious human reaction, but also one that protects her country and Europe.
"It's sort of a cliche to say that Ukrainians are fighting this war for all of us," she added.
But "it is a very practical thing because President Zelenskyy actually says that bluntly: that if you want to stop Russia at the borders of Ukraine, you better provide Ukraine with all the weapons that Ukrainian army needs, because otherwise there might be no end to the war in Europe for a very significant period of time," she told Insider.
Lithuania, like its neighbors Latvia and Estonia, was once part of the Soviet Union, but is now a member of NATO and the EU.
All three countries warned of the growing risk from Russia before its invasion of Ukraine started, and have boosted their own defenses since, believing Russia could turn to other European countries if it wins in Ukraine.
While Ukraine's other backers have given more offensive weapons to Ukraine as the war progressed, Lithuania is urging them to send still more, including granting Ukraine's request for fighter jets.
imonyt said that the time taken for countries to debate whether to send such weapons "costs people lives."
She also stressed that arguments for only giving Ukraine defensive weapons don't make sense, because Ukraine can't push Russia out if it doesn't have the ability to attack.
"How can you push back the Russian army from the territory of Ukraine, which we all know should happen, if you do not have heavy weapons?"
In fact, she said the invasion proves the Western strategy for dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin in recent years during which time his country attacked Georgia in 2008 and invaded eastern Ukraine and annexed the Crimea region hasn't worked.
"The strategy before this invasion was appeasement: let us give him [Putin] something so that he would not do anything stupid. But it never worked," she said.
She added: "I think for the democratic leaders, there are no illusions anymore that you somehow can turn a blind eye on what is happening in Russia, because the signs of this coming should have been seen for a very long period."
