There is a fantastic group of #SeaGrant staff working across the Great Lakes, Lake Champlain, and Hudson River regions on Hazardous Material Transport issues. #HazMaTON A lot of the work is around ports & shipping, but our @lakechamplainseagrant staff is focused on the rail lines that run right next to the lake & cross many rivers and streams.
