ODNR believes the entirety of the impact to aquatic life occurred in the first 24 hours after the Feb. 3 Norfolk Southern derailment in northeastern Ohio, near the border with Pennsylvania.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Approximately 38,222 minnows and 5,500 other species – including crayfish, amphibians and macroinvertebrates – were potentially killed as a result of the East Palestine derailment, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
The updated estimates distributed Thursday afternoon are the result of a calculation ODNR performed, based on a dead species sample count by contractor EnviroScience on Feb. 6-7 in four collection sites designated by ODNR in waterways in the impacted area.
