#DOJ and #EPA sued rail company #NorfolkSouthern over the #EastPalestine #TrainDerailment. The federal agencies allege that the firm's actions led to the release of #ToxicContaminants into East Palestine and surrounding areas during and after the Feb. 3 train derailment, #violating the #CleanWaterAct. The company planned to transport toxic materials from the clean up site (shifting the shit) to Maryland, where it would be dumped in the already toxic #ChesapeakeBay. This effort was halted.

Don’t fall for the happy talk on the Bay: the EPA, Maryland’s governors and other leaders have failed us. A disgusted former state senator decries blown deadlines and lack of enforcement that’s left #ChesapeakeBay nearly as #polluted as it was 40 years ago. https://www.baltimorebrew.com/2023/01/25/dont-fall-for-the-happy-talk-on-the-bay-the-epa-marylands-governors-and-other-leaders-have-failed-us/#pollution #agriculture #runoff #fishing #crabs #acquaculture #EPA #environment #environmental #maryland #pollution #farming #bay #CleanWaterWact #legalresearch #legislation #fisheries #WaterQuality #stategovernment

Tidal salt marshes are coastal guardians. They filter runoff, protect the shore, shelter wildlife, and are incredibly effective buffers against climate change. Tidal marshes sequester carbon at 10x the rate of mature tropical rainforests.
