Ohio train derailment wastewater to be treated at Maryland plant despite concerns.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by WBAL TV Baltimore
Wastewater collected from the Ohio train derailment site could be treated in Maryland's Back River Waste Water Treatment Plant. Baltimore City and Baltimore County officials have concerns about the waste from the derailment site coming to Maryland facilities and being discharged into the city's system. A company will pre-treat the wastewater before it arrives in Maryland, and additional testing will be performed before any discharging of treated wastewater into the public wastewater collection system is authorized. Baltimore is one of multiple locations nationwide that could receive the wastewater.
