In response to community outcry, the Los Angeles City Council has ordered that additional testing for potential toxic waste be performed in a Lincoln Heights neighborhood.
The Lincoln Heights Community Coalition provided more details in a lawsuit it filed last week against the city and California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control, alleging they had failed to investigate the decades-old toxic waste and had devised an inadequate cleanup plan for the site.
Mas Dojiri, an assistant general manager with the Bureau of Sanitation, told us in an email the plan is to carry out the testing"as soon as possible," although there's no timeline yet because the schedule is dependent upon other agencies.One developer involved in the project, The Pinyon Group, took note in an email of the plan to conduct testing outside the boundaries of the development site.
“We insist that the public and our independent experts have an opportunity to review and comment on any sampling, testing and health/safety plans before such testing is implemented,” he wrote.
