CONTINUED CONSIDERATION OF MOTION (HUIZAR - HARRIS-DAWSON) relative to Exide-related contamination and its effect on Boyle Heights and the surrounding East and Southeat Los Angeles communities.

Recommendations for Council action:

1. REQUEST the City Attorney to report back in 30 days regarding what legal remedies are available to the City to obtain accountability and adequate clean-up funding from Exide and the State, and to ensure that remediation plans protect the City’s interests through inclusion of all affected areas of the City, including schools, parks, public right-of-ways, and private properties; a timely and transparent process with set dates, full-cost estimates and funding, and best practices to safeguard public health during clean-up activities; as well as legal options the City could pursue should the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) not act in a timely manner.
   
   
2. DIRECT the Bureau of Sanitation to prepare and submit, with support from the City Attorney and other departments as needed, comments on the Environmental Impact Report for DTSC’s site closure plan prior to the March 28, 2016 deadline. Comments should demand the closure plan follow the highest standards of public safety and environmental protection. More specifically, comments should include, safety of workers remediating the site; the transport of hazardous materials and contaminated soil through residential communities; the safe handling and removal of residual lead; and protection of the surrounding community from any airborne contamination stirred up by closure activities.

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.
