The @OhioEPA should comment on this ASAP.
#EastPalestine OH is one of the most vulnerable areas of the county for Ground Water Pollution Potential.
Short version: yellow on map means you are MORE susceptible to ground water pollution from surface sources. Source: Ohio DNR
#EastPalestine is YELLOW bigly. That means VERY susceptible to ground water pollution.
TRUST THE SCIENCE Original document here 👇:

This conclusion was derived using the D.R.A.S.T.I.C. method which accounts for:
But the EPA gonna gaslight you like you're a dumb person.
The map you see is a Pollution Potential Map.
and DRASTIC helps calculate who / where is at the highest risk, greater potential for ground water pollution.
Here is the full resolution of the Columbiana County Ground Water Pollution Potential map. If you're yellow, you have a high risk of ground water pollution potential.
EPA says the pump inlets are 56-98 feet below surface. That dont matter cuz the WATER table is only 15-18 feet below surface at the well site.
Their statements are not truthful. Here's the US Geo water table history for the #EastPalestineOH city wells:
Here are the city wells. 0.33 miles from the polluted Sulphur run. And 18 feet from the surface to the water table.
So what do you/they do?
You:
(1) monitor your potable water.
(2) monitor your basement air.
(3) don't go near the creeks.
They (will probably):
(1) monitor ground wells
(2) drill new water wells far away
(3) create a water demand to consume the contaminated water
I am just a dumb guy on the internet. Please do your own research. I am not a scientist, geologist, etc. But this seems very straight forward IMO.
I encourage smart people to refute this.
Another tweet. The @OhioEPA says "...any ground water at the derailment site will not reach the source area for the municipal water system"
Removing 143.3 millions of gallons through pumps wont pull water from the East?
Only the West? GTFOH. Show me a computer model. I call BS
If you made it this far I will give you a follow lol.
Oopsie - caught another @OhioEPA oversight. The area in blue is a "Source Water Protection Area". The EPA is telling you it's 1.4 miles from the train wreck. Thats TRUE.
However, it's 0.04 miles from Sulphur Run which is a toxic rainbow. Demand answers. #EastPalestineOH
