.The release of a potentially dangerous chemical into our water supply has put hundreds of thousands of West Virginians at risk, severely disrupted our regions economy, and upended peoples daily lives, Goodwin said today in a statement.

The contents of three other tanks, including the one that leaked, had already been taken away, the agency said in a statement.
.The company was also told to submit a proposal for cleaning up contaminated soil and groundwater, along with a plan for the disposal of the chemicals in the tanks, according to the statement. The agency earlier today ordered Freedom Industries to halt operations at the site and verify that all its tanks are sound before it can reopen.
