Los Angeles residents are furious at an announcement by the Army Corps of Engineers that there will be no testing of local soil for toxins after the first six inches of topsoil are taken away during debris removal that began this week. The post L.A. Residents Outraged After Army Corps Abandons Soil Testing in Burn Areas appeared first on Breitbart.
Residents are angered as the Army Corps of Engineers ceases soil testing beyond six inches post-wildfire cleanup, fearing toxin residue. The Corps cites state guidelines, deviating from past practices, shifting responsibility to residents for testing and cleanup. Previously, thorough testing followed the 2018 Camp fire, but now residents may face cleanup costs, billed via insurance, up to $175k.
