Summary

On March 1, 2016, the Settling Party's freight train derailed at the Site. Two of four derailed train cars transporting ethanol began to leak as a consequence of the derailment. A propane tank car also derailed, but it was not compromised. The Settling Party undertook a removal action at the Site from March 2, 2016, to March 4, 2016.
