The U.S. EPA has set up a hazardous debris site in Lario Park, Azusa, for waste from the Eaton fire following President Trump's executive order to expedite the process. Local officials from Azusa and surrounding areas were not notified prior to the setup, raising alarm over potential health risks and environmental concerns due to proximity to residential areas. Congress Representative Gil Cisneros called out the EPA for lack of transparency, questioning the decision-making process and the disregard for local input. Residents and officials fear this placement could lead to air and groundwater contamination.
The EPA's expeditious setup of a hazardous debris site in Azusa without notifying local residents ignites concerns about transparency and environmental safety.
City officials expressed strong opposition to the hazardous site near residences, fearing potential air pollution and groundwater contamination affecting local drinking water.
