| The US EPA is leading the effort to clear household hazardous materials from the communities devastated by the Eaton Fire and has set up staging facilities for the safe temporary storage, sorting, and transport to the appropriate disposal facilities. After careful consideration of all options available, they’ve selected the Altadena Golf Course as one of the sites.
To be clear, the materials never touch the ground, but move straight from trucks into their containers. The EPA is also conducting soil testing and air monitoring to ensure the safety of the surrounding area. I expect the US EPA to implement the most stringent protocols to ensure the health and safety of those who are doing this work, as well as the health and safety of those in proximity. I encourage residents to watch the short video below to get a clearer understanding of the work the EPA has underway. |
