Train Wreck Environmental Impact Assessment
RJ Lee Group (RJLG) was called to assist in the environmental impact and material evaluation of a freight train derailment that resulted in the release of a toxic and corrosive gas. On the derailed train were several rail cars loaded with newly manufactured automobiles. Hundreds of environmental wipe samples were collected from the potentially impacted automobiles and from non-impacted control groups. The results of the visual inspections and laboratory analyses aided in the conclusion that the automobiles were not impacted.
