"Four empty non-hazardous material tank cars" were involved in the derailment, which had previously carried diesel exhaust fluid and an additive commonly used in wastewater treatment, Barner said.
One car containing plastic pellets was involved, and a small amount spilled out onto the soil, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Director Ann Vogel said. The pellets are not hazardous.
Power lines were also involved, which meant agencies weren't able to begin cleanup operations until Sunday morning.
It was not immediately known what caused the derailment.
