“County, legislators exchange letters over landfill crisis”

“L.A. County 5th District Supervisor Kathryn Barger responded Friday to a letter from 22 members of the Los Angeles Legislative Delegation asking about the worsening environmental crisis at Chiquita Canyon Landfill. 

Noting the landfill’s relief program has “fallen short of expectation” as the subsurface fire has grown from 30 to 90 acres, Barger described the county and state’s plans going forward in a response sent last week.”
