4pm update from OCEM: An investigation by officials has determined that a rail car at Eagle Rail Site on Foreman Road is conducting a controlled flaring operation, which is expected to continue for several more hours until completion. Air monitoring is underway, and a determination on when to lift the current shelter-in-place order will be made after the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) completes their toxicology reporting.
Currently, West Orange, Bridge City, and Orangefield remain under shelter-in-place orders. Citizens are advised to take precautions in these areas.
