The California State Parks announced that a parking lot at Will Rogers State Beach will serve as a temporary processing site for hazardous household items collected from the Palisades fire zone. The U.S. EPA will utilize this area to sort and dispose of waste like paint and propane tanks, necessary before clearing fire-damaged buildings. This decision has elicited mixed reactions, with officials acknowledging the necessity of clearing hazardous material while facing opposition to placing the staging area near residential zones. Concerns over environmental safety and local impact persist.
"Everybody says go ahead and do it, just don't do it near me - it's human nature," said Steve Soboroff.
The Will Rogers parking lot is suitable because it is flat, open land in close proximity to damaged properties that require debris removal.
