The Morning Journal published a story highlighting another milestone in remediation efforts. 

Natural water flow will now return to Sulphur Run. With regulatory approval process from both the federal and state Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) complete, the final ditch segment along the tracks was approved to be redirected back into the creek that moves through East Palestine and feeds into Leslie Run.

This is a significant restoration milestone and part of the overall efforts to restore the affected areas to pre-derailment conditions. Stormwater will continue to be collected and disposed off-site from the remaining water management areas where decommissioning is currently underway pending regulatory clearance.
