I also don't really buy the basic thesis of the article, which despite being teased in the headline, was backed up by only three sentences:

"So why is EPA unwilling to test for dioxins in the soil? My guess is
because they know they will find it. And if they find it, they’ll have
to address the many questions people are asking."

It is literally the EPA's job to do this kind of testing and then "respond to questions." They didn't cause the derailment, so why would they be motivated to cover up the impact? I'm not sure why the author thinks that the EPA has no incentive to do its job and they certainly didn't explain why.
