>Mayor Brandon Scott announced Monday the city will not allow a Baltimore contractor treating shipments of toxic waste collected at an Ohio train derailment to discharge the treated water into the city’s wastewater system.
“Make no mistake — I stand against any efforts that could compromise the health and safety of our residents, and the environment,” he said, adding that he extends sympathy to the East Palestine community but that he must protect local residents.

>In a letter sent to officials at the Baltimore Department of Public Works last Wednesday, Clean Harbors said it expects to handle an initial load of 675,000 gallons of rainwater, stream water and collected water near the derailment site. It is set to depart by train on Thursday for the company’s industrial waste processing plant in the 1900 block of Russell Street near Interstate 95.
A Clean Harbors representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

An Olympic size swimming pool holds 660,000 gallons of water. Alan Shaw can afford to build an Olympic size swimming pool in the backyard of his estate and store most of the 675,000 gallons of contaminated water there. He can then use the remaining 15,000 gallons for showering and to water his plants and lawn.
