California EPA Secretary Jared Blumenfeld will discuss cleanup efforts at the Santa Susana Field Lab on February 13 at a meeting of the SSFL Work Group. The SSFL Work Group was founded in 1989 to educate and engage the community, government agencies, and elected officials in the cleanup. The meeting will include a public Q&A with a panel of experts, community members, and elected officials.
Comments on NASA’s Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS) for the Santa Susana Field Lab (SSFL) cleanup submitted by the California Dept. of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), Ventura County, Los Angeles County, and the City of Los Angeles opposed NASA’s attempt to walk away from cleaning up most of the contamination on its SSFL property and urged NASA to comply with its legally-binding cleanup agreement.
The Natural Resources Defense Council, Physicians for Social Responsibility-LA, Southern California Federation of Scientists, Committee to Bridge the Gap, and the Rocketdyne Cleanup Coalition have filed formal letters of objection to the Trump Administration’s Department of Energy (DOE) over its proposal to walk away from its cleanup obligations at the contaminated Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL).
Sign the petition to demand that the commitments for a full cleanup of SSFL are carried out before it is considered for a National Monument or for inclusion in Rim of the Valley Corridor.
The Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) Work Group will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at 6:30 pm at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center in Simi Valley.
