Hundreds of Sangabriel Valley residents are asked to confront the state and federal officials at a fierce community meeting on Wednesday, and ask how the local recreation area has become a dangerous waste treatment site from an eaton fire without the input of the community. I did it.

The Environmental Protection Agency is a dangerous waste of 15 miles, from Altadenaban Zone to Lario Park in Irwindal for sorting and storage. The Rocky area, which is officially known as the Lalli Stage area, is owned by the U.S. Army Engineers and was leased to the Los Angeles Park Bureau until early this month.

This site arranges potentially dangerous household supplies that cannot be sent to reclaimed household goods (including paints, bleach, asbestos, lithium iron batteries). There is a tent that is not.

Senator Susan Rubio (D Baldwin Park) and several local mayors Use of EPA Irwindale Site From news reports.

Duarte, AZUSA, and other residents nearby have been furious that waste has arrived on trucks on a site near the popular recreation area, including Sangabriel River Trail. I said. Some have said that toxic chemical substances and other fire debris are afraid of lying into air, soil, or water.

The staff of the California institution, which processes EPA and environmental protection and controls toxic substances, guarantees that they are taking safety measures, but shouted, “We do not want it!” It was repeatedly interrupted by. And “Find another place!”

“If you have an upset community, it’s really difficult to get it back,” Rubio said.

At one point, a woman stood up from her seat and asked if she would be used to sending children to a school near such sites.

Yes, Katie Butler, head of the state toxic substance station, said, “Dangerous waste is a really scary sound because it is sometimes so, it must be done by experts properly. That’s why. “

The EPA is working under the 30 -day deadline, and if all dangerous waste can be removed from the burns of Eaton and Parisade, and the Army Corps can safely clear the roof Rub. Tara Fitzgerald said.

Fitzgeralard told frustrated Pacific Palicase residents last week that the process would take several months.

The EPA was “by the order of the White House.” This is a testimony of the Los Angeles County Committee this week, saying that the removal work is promoted to 30 days, said Celeste McCoy, a coordinator on the EPA scene. McCOY stated that the clean -up process would not take six months, but it was estimated.

“Again, I don’t know this a bit,” she said. “The scale of this is bigger than we treated before.”

Some local mayors, including Rubio and Duarte Mayor Cesar Garcia, repeated the 30 -day deadline, or at least, whether or not the EPA can move lithium -ion battery to another site. I pressed it.

“I don’t know that the deadline can be re -evaluated,” Fitzgerald said.

Fitzgeralard stated that EPA has selected the IRWindale site. Because it was so large, flat and available to meet their needs. Other potential sites that are close to the burn zone, such as the Rose Bowl and Santa Anita Park, are used for firefighting and rescue activities.

Family waste from the Parisade Fire is transported by truck to the site of the former Malibu’s former Topanga Ranch Motel. Fitzgeralard stated that EPA is considering additional fire, including Altadena Golf Course and IRWindale Speedway.

Catherine Burger, director of Los Angeles County, stated on Tuesday that Trump had met with her and other local officials after visiting Los Angeles last week.

“As yesterday, what the EPA is needed begins,” said Burger.

The clean -up process starts in a burn zone where EPA contractors for respiratory, white suits, and hard hat sifting the tile BLE of the house or company. Dangerous items are placed in buckets and other containers, and then trucks are operated on the Irwindale site.

Waste will not stay on the Lario site forever, but it is not clear where it will end.

According to Fitzgerald, the EPA has set up a liner on the site and prevented toxic substances from lying into the soil. She said that he was conducting a soil test before the agency began, and would test the soil again before departure.

After Maui’s landscape in 2023, the EPA tracked the waste to an island shooting range about 10 miles away from the waste zone. The fire destroyed about 2,200 buildings and took four months to clean the EPA.

Dualte’s Jennifer Roman attended a meeting with his sister -in -law and was not relieved. She is worried that waste is driving on a truck via a city of over half a dozen to reach the site, and it is clear how residents and workers are protected. I said it wasn’t.

The Rario’s staging area has a trail along the Sangabriel River, which is lined with trees, near the Santa Fadam recreation area.

Roman said that if the toxins were soaked in air, soil, or water, they could hurt the children at the nearby hospital and the nun living in a nearby nursing home.

“I don’t know why we should trust them,” Roman said about government agencies. “Are they always lying?”
