Through a Freedom of Information Act, whistle-blowing organization Government Accountability Project obtained a letter it says exposes changes the EPA made to Norfolk Southern's dioxin sampling plan.

"We've known that all along, Lesley Pacey from the Government Accountability Project is just helping us find the proof the now," said Jami Wallace, founder of the Chemically Impacted Communities Coalition.

Wallace has been vocal since the train derailment in East Palestine February 3, 2023.

"We said that we wanted a transparent plan, and we wanted it to include certain things. Stephen Lester said what was wrong with the plan, nobody wanted to listen, nobody wanted to do anything about it," Wallace added referring to the plan dioxin sampling plan put together by the U.S EPA and Norfolk Southern.

The Government Accountability Project states that the plan was updated by the EPA to allow Norfolk Southern to remove key chemical compounds from it. The plan had received backlash from other whistleblowers like Stephen Petty at the time, that the plan didn't account for wind direction changes at the time of the controlled burn. The NTSB would later rule that the burn was not necessary.

"They can relocate people that still have concerns, that are still sick and do testing. Some homes have been shut up since the derailment," Wallace exclaimed.

Former East Palestine residents like Krissy Ferguson who left town a while back, and never looked back.

"A lot of people knew that something wasn't right," she said.

Jami Wallace emphasized the need for health insurance, and says it's the least residents could've been provided with.
