The advocacy group ‘Parents Against Santa Susana Field Lab’ are skeptical that remediation will be effective.
A vehicle leaves Santa Susana Field Lab on Thursday, Feb. 28, 2019, in the region where decades of rocket testing and a partial nuclear meltdown left toxins in the soil and groundwater, according to state officials.
The Area 1 Burn Pit contains a plethora of toxic chemicals and metals that are above background levels in some soil samples, including PCBs, trichloroethene, dioxins, mercury and zinc,DTSC officials worry that severe storms, wildfires, and winds triggered by climate change could destroy the material that is covering the burn pit area, and expose wildlife and the environment to its highly toxic chemicals.
Bumstead also questioned whether Boeing would remediate the entire 6-acre area or partially remediate by cleaning up hot spots that are most contaminated.
