How the fuck do you get that conclusion from this document? Did you even read it?

That's a release form where the land owner gives the inspectors permission to check for chemicals outside/inside, and releases them from liability for that inspection. E.g. you can't sue them if they accidentally break a piece of furniture.

It's literally nothing.

This.

The indemnification is for the Incident Command (Unified Command in this form) to release liability for property damages and theft if they are allowed to perform air quality monitoring on the property. Unified Command is not an entity that represents NS directly and is comprised of local authorities including the municipal government, police, fire and EMS services, local hospitals, and many outside agencies including the EPA and state and federal government. This command organization is assembled at the time of a public disaster and dissolved when the disaster is no longer in emergency status. This does not give NS any legal ground for immunity or property seizure.

Don't let the induced (((fear and panic))) turn off your brain so you can easily receive (((programming))) from sources you are inclined to believe because they (((oppose))) the (((mainstream sources))). Think for yourselves and be skeptical. Get as much information as you can from all sides before you decide what you are willing to believe is plausible or truthful.

Agreed. It’s a standard release to send a contractor on site. If they dig a hole in your flower bed you can’t sue. I wouldn’t trust the results to be anything other than ambiguous, they will need their own samples and environmental tech company not affiliated for real results. Expect back a form letter saying all samples were within allowable limits without much detail.

This is not a good contract for the home owner. I'd want them to request permission in advance before accessing the property. I'd also want the contract to sunset after some time period. Using this contract, NS could effectively confiscate evidence of their own malfeasance. For instance, they could take a dead pet off the property for analysis and then incinerate it as would be normal for a dead animal. In return they give you a report stating the pet died of natural causes, but you can't get a second opinion because the pet is now a pile of ash.

Exactly. Had a similar thing happen once with a big company and faulty products. Mass recalls, no fault found, no payout, no evidence returned. Business as usual.

Oh suuuure... you must be working for the jews. The paper is probably printed in disappearing ink, with UV ink with the actual contract to give them your house for $0. You are so naive. /s

Never say never. That sort of shit happened all the time to people in Chicago.

Don't get me wrong, there's no fucking way I would let a group affiliated with the train company onto my property to test for chemicals before speaking to an attorney.

Yep and I'd make them get very specific on what they would be doing every single time they stepped onto my property.

Hereby authorize Norfolk Southern

This is were I would stop reading and throw it in their face. Don't authorize Norfolk Southern to do anything. They should not even be authorized to exist anymore. The fact they're involved in this monitoring is ridiculous. They'll find whatever is convenient for them.

Tell them to fuck off and call the EPA to do it themselves.

EPA is literally paid to protect us from disasters like this. This is their most basic task, its in the name.

Might as well get the ball rolling on defunding these useless fucks.

Anyone that signs this steaming pile of legalease bullshit deserves whatever they get.

Not a landgrab. A trick though to allow someone to never be able to sue them for this horrible crime. Shocking. the EPA needs a beating.

Shouldn't this be the other way around? I'd want these idiots to sign a waiver before walking onto my property.
