LOS ANGELES, July 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Public interest groups filed amicus letters with the California Supreme Court seeking review of a decision by the First District Court of Appeal that would allow Boeing to demolish radioactive structures at Santa Susana Field Lab and dispose of the resulting debris in unequipped landfills and metal recycling centers without any state oversight.
Key Points:
- Read the amicus letter of Friends of the Earth, California Communities Against Toxics, the Nuclear Information and Resource Service.
- Parents Against Santa Susana Field Laboratory whose children have experienced rare forms of pediatric cancer filed another amicus letter supporting the petition.
- To this day, its toxic and radioactive contamination threatens more than 700,000 people living within ten miles of the site.
- If the lower court decision stands, the state will have enabled Boeing to put radiologically contaminated debris anywhere they like.
