John,

We’re sure you've heard about the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, and the subsequent environmental disaster it has caused.


Unfortunately, the Biden administration’s EPA has repeatedly fumbled the clean-up efforts.


Now, after learning through a press conference that the EPA had selected Indiana as a site to deposit the hazardous waste from the derailment and pushing back on its decision, Governor Holcomb has ordered rigorous third-party testing for dangerous levels of dioxins in the waste.


Since directing the testing, the EPA has now provided written commitment that any further material scheduled for shipment to Indiana will undergo testing to confirm there are no harmful levels of dioxins before entering the state.

You can read his latest statement below:




Statement from Governor Holcomb

Friday, Mar. 4, 2023

“Since yesterday [Thursday, Mar. 3] when I directed the third-party testing of any material arriving from the East Palestine train spill, the EPA today [Friday, Mar. 4] provided us a written commitment that any further material scheduled for shipment to Indiana from the East Palestine train spill site will undergo testing to confirm there are no harmful levels of dioxins before heading to Indiana. This is the right decision for the EPA to take this important step.

“As for the materials that are already enroute prior to the EPA announcement, our teams have been working with the third-party laboratory to expedite the testing of those truck loads which should bear detailed results sometime early next [this] week.”

Governor Holcomb is dedicated to providing our communities with the assurance that the materials don’t pose a risk to them; this testing will ensure that’s the case.


Thank you,


Holcomb HQ
