Ohio train derailment: EPA Administrator Michael Regan gives updates from East Palestine

As concerns continue around the Ohio train derailment, EPA Administrator Michael Regan is back in East Palestine for another visit to the community.

His visit included a 10:30 a.m. roundtable discussion with teachers and students at East Palestine High School, which gave students and teachers the opportunity to ask Regan some of their top questions and concerns.

One of those questions was about the safety of pets.

“If your home is on a private well that hasn’t been tested, I wouldn’t have my animals drinking that water," Regan said. "I definitely would steer away from letting your pets play in creeks that have been contaminated until they’re fully clean. It’s one thing for me to say we believe -- based on the science -- that certain things are safe, it’s another thing for you all to feel comfortable.”
