I’m a only little concerned about possible impact to our area, they found the chemicals in the Ohio River but that flows into the Mississippi, not close to here. I’m much more worried about the other derailments and hazmat accidents closer to us that don’t get reported. There was a fuel spill near me yesterday, on Caton Avenue at the new Royal Farms. I only heard about it because one of my son’s friends was part of the response team. He said they didn’t get called until there was already fuel spreading over the roadway and into the storm drains. His coworkers didn’t really know what to do or who they were supposed to call. I don’t have faith in the local processes for cleaning up and reporting this kind of problem. I wouldn’t know anything about that if I didn’t hear it from a family friend, I’m a little concerned other spills don’t get reported.
