“EPA: Chiquita presents ‘imminent and substantial endangerment’”

County Superior Court asking the court to order the landfill closed. The petition alleges that L.A. County government, in allowing the landfill to continue operating, has violated the California Environmental Quality Act and anti-discrimination laws intended to ensure environmental justice. “
