ACTS LAW brought the suit because residents, including many developing minors, are regularly exposed to elevated levels of various toxic substances, including:
In addition, they have been exposed to noxious fumes and odors in their homes and communities. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, highlights the dangers posed by exposure to these toxic substances and fumes.
Chiquita Canyon Landfill (or CCL) has, and is, currently experiencing a subsurface reaction over an inactive portion of the landfill that is causing increased temperatures, increased production of landfill gas, and increased production of leachate, as well as fugitive emissions of landfill gas from the surface of the landfill. The area of the landfill affected by the reaction is located approximately 1000 feet from the nearest resident in the surrounding community.
At a meeting for the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (“SCAQMD”), residents complained about being trapped in their homes due to the exposure. Any outdoor activity is difficult because of the horrific fumes and exposure to toxins. In fact, children who attend neighboring schools such as Castaic Elementary School, Santa Clarita Valley International School and Live Oak Elementary School are unable to enjoy their adolescent years as the noxious odors and elevated levels of toxic gases prevent them from spending time outdoors and have the potential to increase their risk of developing cancer.
The Los Angeles Regional Water Board has even stated CCL has been disposing of millions of gallons of contaminated water a month for almost a full year. Steaming-hot, contaminated water has also surged to the surface, oozing out of fissures.
If you’ve been exposed to these awful chemicals and odors, you might be eligible for compensation. You can hold the CCL accountable for the damage it has caused, is causing and will continue to cause you and your loved ones.
