Water quality board delays decision on renewal of field lab discharge permit (Thousand Oaks Acorn)
“The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board has postponed until further notice a decision on the renewal of a stormwater discharge permit for the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. … During a Feb. 10 hearing on Boeing’s permit, water control officials received significant public comment. Speakers included Ventura County Supervisor Linda Parks, Simi Valley Councilmember Ruth Luevanos and Melissa Bumstead, founder of Parents Against the Santa Susana Field Lab, who expressed concerns that the new permit, as proposed, would further weaken or eliminate discharge requirements for many pollutants, thus allowing dangerous amounts of toxins into waterways and groundwater basins.”
