The Financial Post reports in its Thursday, May 4, edition that state authorities in Maine have hit Canadian Pacific Kansas City with a violation notice over fallout from its cleanup efforts after a train went off the tracks last month. A Bloomberg dispatch to the Post reports that officials sent a notice of violation to the railway after heavy construction equipment used to access the crash site caused a "significant amount of sediment" to enter local waters in violation of a pollution control law, according to Maine's Department of Environmental Protection. "Culverts were crushed and dirt has been shifted in and around a number of streams as a result of heavy machinery using the forest management roads," the department said in a release April 28. Melanie Loyzim, the department's commissioner, sent a second letter instructing CPKC to implement erosion control measures "immediately." On April 15 a CPKC train hit a track washout in a wooded area near Moosehead Lake in northwestern Maine, about 220 kilometres southeast of Quebec City, setting several cars ablaze. CPKC said last month that locomotives and four derailed lumber cars went up in flames, with crews using booms to contain spilled diesel fuel.
