The EPA is removing the Del Amo site in California from its list of the most heavily polluted locations requiring federal cleanup oversight. This means the site has been cleaned up enough that it no longer needs intensive federal environmental monitoring and remediation efforts.
Key Points
- 1The Del Amo site in California is being removed from the National Priorities List (NPL), which tracks the nation's most contaminated locations
- 2The site has completed cleanup work to levels that meet EPA safety standards, meaning contamination has been reduced to acceptable levels
- 3While removed from federal priority status, the site may still require some ongoing monitoring or maintenance depending on what contaminated the site originally
- 4Local residents and businesses in the Del Amo area should see reduced environmental restrictions and regulatory oversight now that cleanup efforts are considered complete
- 5This action reflects progress in environmental cleanup efforts and means EPA resources can focus on other contaminated sites that still need intensive work
