Heal the Bay STRONGLY DISAGREES with the selection of State land in close proximity to Topanga Creek and Lagoon as the US EPA’s Palisades Fire hazardous material staging area. At this site, materials are sorted and repackaged before being sent to permitted waste collection facilities. The site chosen is an area of cultural and ecological significance, and we stand with the surfers, swimmers, and local communities concerned about the potential for harm to this precious ecosystem. The most harmful place for hazardous waste is in the burn zone, exposed to the elements, and we must remove it quickly. There are no good places to handle hazardous waste in a community, but we hope the EPA considers moving to a site that is further from creeks, the ocean, and families. READ OUR FULL STATEMENT ABOVE and go to healthebay.org/faq-epa-topanga (linkinbio) to get answers to your frequently asked questions about this site and Heal the Bay’s BIGGEST takeaways from our recent meeting with the EPA. | Posted on 06/Feb/2025 04:58:09
