Site Activities
— Site restoration activities are complete, and the associated particulate air monitoring has concluded in accordance with approved plans. Demobilization of equipment and work trailers continues, and efforts will be made to not interfere with Village traffic.
— Sitewide surface water, groundwater, sediments, and drinking water monitoring, including activities in the East End, continues per the schedules defined in the associated work plans.
Sulphur and Leslie Run Activities
— Data from the March/April 2025 stream reassessment were reported to EPA on June 20. No human health risks related to the derailment were identified in surface water in the two previous assessments performed in 2024.
— The final stream sheen assessment, including sediment sampling, is complete for both Leslie and Sulphur Runs. The results of this final sheen assessment indicate achievement of the work plan goals with no apparent derailment related sheens remaining on either stream. The details for previously completed mitigation activities, and the results of final stream sheen assessment and sediment sampling are being compiled and will be reported to EPA in the coming weeks.
