Leaders of four Southern California cities near the Eaton Fire zone northeast of Los Angeles vowed on Jan. 27 to shut down a hazardous debris and toxic materials processing site set up by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to process dangerous waste, such as lithium-ion batteries burned in the fire.
The leaders say the EPA did not notify them before deciding to locate the site at Lario Park, about 15 miles east of Altadena.
