[quote:RealJoy:MV81MzY5MjMwXzdERUY0MEND] UNBELIEVABLE! Im pissed that they are doing this. There is a reason that they have done it so covertly. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo stated that some of the firefighting water has been in Harris County for days and more is expected in the coming days and weeks. She added that although there is no policy that warrants her office to be notified of the transport, it would have been courteous to know about it beforehand. Ultimately, she called it a breakdown in communication between the company and officials. “I also want folks to know that there are many things we don’t know that we should know. That doesn’t mean that something is wrong,” Hidalgo said. “The company has assured us that they have stored the firefighting water ‘in a way to remove the risk to water, groundwater, air emissions and protect public health.’” So far, Hidalgo says she was told that about half a million gallons have already been transported to Harris county, and about 2 million are expected in total. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2023/02/23/deer-park-company-being-contracted-to-dispose-of-ohio-train-derailment-wastewater-in-harris-county-authorities-say/?__vfz=medium%3Dconversations_top_pages [/quote]
