Watchdogs worry that chemicals could leak into groundwater and LA River; officials say they’ve responded to report and water is safe.
The entrance to the Boeing, Santa Susana Field Lab, high in the hills separating Simi Valley and the San Fernando Valley on Monday, May 9, 2022. A watchdog group issued a report last month saying that two highly toxic chemicals are not being monitored at the Santa Susana Field lab and potentially can leak into the Los Angeles River.
Staff with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, the state agency that oversees the water pollution discharge from the site, said the agency has been working on addressing the issues mentioned in the PEER report since its release in September. But advocates and residents said the new plan violates 2007 and 2010 agreements between Boeing, NASA, and the Department of Energy and the state that promised to fully clean up the area.
If the proposed permit that requires monitoring for both chemicals is approved by the water board during its next meeting on Oct. 19, the new rules will go into effect by January 2024, the water board staff said.
