It has been more than three weeks since a train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio sent contaminated waste into the ground and water. 
And, now, the Environmental Protection Agency is sending some of the waste to a landfill in Roachdale. 
The shipment was expected to arrive today, according to EPA officials. 

"We did a compliance screen of each of these sites and they are currently in compliance and we can have inspectors in collaboration with the state out there at any time," EPA Region 5 Administrator Debra Shore said at a press conference yesterday.

The landfill in Roachdale is operated by Heritage Environmental Services and specializes in hazardous waste transportation, treatment and disposal. 
In a press conference yesterday, the EPA announced it will also send waste to an incinerator in Grafton, Ohio and the agency has almost found enough certified facilities to receive the waste. 

Earlier this month, 38 train cars derailed, causing toxic vinyl chloride to escape from five tankers. The vinyl chloride was burned and state and federal officials have said there is no risk to the local community.
