A federal investigation is currently underway regarding a chemical leak linked to an INEOS railcar, as confirmed in a recent government meeting. Officials reported that the leak's source has been identified, and discussions are ongoing to establish new safety practices to prevent future incidents.
White Water Township administration has indicated that an impact review will be conducted to assess planning and best practices moving forward. The chemical in question had been stored near a bridge for an extended period due to INEOS's inability to receive it. However, the railroad has now mandated that INEOS must promptly receive any materials stored on their railway, effectively ending their storage privileges.
Despite being invited to the recent meeting to discuss the situation, representatives from INEOS did not attend, raising concerns about their engagement in the resolution process. The investigation aims to clarify the circumstances surrounding the leak and implement measures to enhance safety protocols in the future.
