Los Angeles Wildfire: California cities promise to ‘turn off’ Epa -o’s landfill for ‘toxic’ waste
More cities in southern California promises to “exclude” a place used by the Environmental Protection Agency to collect and process dangerous waste from devastating fire Eaton, saying that they oppose “have toxic materials transported to our yards.”
A joint warning from the cities of Azus, Irwindale, Baldwin Park and Duarte comes while the place in Lario Park was supposedly started accepting debris on Monday. It is expected to accommodate the batteries of the lithium electric vehicle and other “dangerous household waste”, with the EPA manageing all transportation, processing and retention at that place, they say.
“Although cities are completely solidarity with our neighboring communities, we are extremely disappointed with the lack of respect for our locals because they have not been informed of EPA’s efforts and that toxic materials have been transported to our yards,” the cities said in a joint statement. “The cities will work on formally opposition to this website, as well as mobilizing the effort to turn off the site as soon as possible.”
More than 150 locals packed the Duarte City Council meeting last night to express opposition, according to San Gabriel Valley Tribune. Prior to the meeting, the EPA coordinator on the Celeste McCoy scene told the Los Angeles District Supervisor Committee that her agency was ordered to accelerate the opening of the place on the land governed by the US military corpus engineer, after the executive command issued by the President Donald Trump, He also reported.
