And the EPA, which clearly isn't in the pocket of big business and can be trusted to protect the public's interest!

The EPA isn't doing any current testing, they ordered Norfolk Southern to conduct testing. Norfolk Southern hired CTEH, to conduct this testing. CTEH is best known for the unaccountable testing they provided for during the Deepwater Horizon fiasco. Good thing regulators allow those responsible for these completely preventable tragedies to decide which corporate lapdog they want to determine the impacts of their failures. ^^/s

This particular report was commissioned by the state of Indiana in account of some of the contaminated soil from EP being disposed of there. However, it was only two samples of imprecise origin—location, depth unclear, and may have been diluted with other dirt.

Further testing is called for.
