EPA warns future flare-ups at Moss Landing Battery Plant possible
Briefly

The EPA reported concerning risks of flare-ups during cleanup at the Moss Landing Battery Plant, as only 60% of accessible batteries have been delinked. Phase one of cleanup aims to minimize further fire threats after the original fire and subsequent re-ignition. Although delinking is reducing risks, officials acknowledge that flare-ups are still likely due to facility damage. The building must be demolished before full battery removal can continue, and the county has initiated a health survey for residents affected by the incidents.
