“Schiavo Joins Impacted Residents to Demand Action on Chiquita Canyon Landfill”

“Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo, D-Chatsworth, joined a press conference on Thursday, March 27, on the west steps of the state capitol in Sacramento organized by community members from Val Verde, Castaic and the Santa Clarita Valley. The press conference was held to call attention to the growing public health disaster at the Chiquita Canyon Landfill.

Impacted residents raised the alarm about the worsening underground fire at the landfill, now growing from 30 to 90 acres and urged support for legislative and budget solutions to help community members suffering daily from exposure to toxic gasses.”
