Tarn LOS ANGELES In the face of mounting backlash from wildfire survivors and California elected officials, federal disaster agencies are defending their deci- sion to forgo soil testing after cleanup crews re- move debris from proper- ties that burned in the Los Angel s County fees. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have said that federal cleanup workers will remove toxic wildfire ash and rubble, along with a 6-inch layer of topsoil from properties. But, this week, federal officials told The Threes they won't order soil testing to con- firm that properties aren't still contaminated after the re veal. Follow-up soil taring - conducted after every major wildfire in California since 2007 - is intended to ensure that properties are mediated to state standards and do not still contain dangerous levels of toxic substances. But now FEMA, the agency responsible for allocating funding and outlining cleanup proce- dures in the aftermath of wildfra, insists that scrap- ing 6 inches of topsoil from each property is suffi- cient to protect public health. Brandi Richard Thomp- son, a spokesperson for FEMA Region 9, which oversees disaster response in the southwestern U.S. and Pacific islands, said the agency's cleanup strat- egy is "based on scientific best practices and FEMA's longstanding policies." She said any contamination deeper than 3 to 6 inches u unlikely to be attribut- able to the f itself and does not pose an imme- diate threat to public health and safety." "While FEMA is com- mitted to supporting com- munities in their recovery, decisions regarding addi- tional son testing and over - excavation are left to local and state authorities," Richard Thompson said in a statement to The Times. "These measures are not required under existing public health or rebuilding regulations, and FEMA is unable to fund activities that arena directly Braked to fire -related contam- ination. However, local governments are free to conduct additional testing Rubble is all that remains of a fame destroyed in the Eaton wildfire in Altadena, Calif., CO Jan. R. On Wednesday. officials said the first phase of the cleanup had been completed. if they wish to do so." Just two years ago, how- ever, FEMA paid for soil testing in the aftermath of the 2023 Maui wildfires. FEMA officials say they ordered testing in Hawali because they had less historical wildfire data there than they did for California. In the future, they say, they won't order soil testing after wildfires there and in the rest of Region 9. What's more, FEMA's duw stance ignores that ring past wildfire re- sponse, soil testing found that a significant number of properties contained unsafe levels of toxic chemicals even after 6 inches of topsoil had been removed. The federal cleanup polities have sparked widespread outrage among public officials and fire survivors who fear the approach could leave be- hind hazardous levels of toxic substances. In re- sponse to The Times' re- porting, California Gov. Gavin Newsom convened an emergency cabinet meeting Thursday morning to discuss the lack of soil sampling. His office, how- ever, has not given any specifics about the gover- nor's stance toward the federal cleanup. "The governor has been closely monitoring devel- opments on the rebuild and recovery from Los Angeles fires," said Daniel Vilase6or, a spokesperson for Newsom. "He has been laser -focused on moving quickly while also protect- ing the safety of the com- munity." U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman, a Democrat whose district includes Pam Palisades, said he has urged Robert Fenton, FEMA's Region 9 administrator, to reconsid- er his plans. "Their standard answer is, 'Well, we're doing such a great job on debris re- moval, we'resure it'sgo- ing to be safe; " Sherman said "But people deserve to have testing." If FEMA declines, Sher- man he will nto statenorm to agencies or local researchers to perhaps conduct soil sampling. While soil testing itself is not inexpensive, returning to excavate additional dirt could cost tens of thou- sands of dollars per proper - Some federal and local officials have expressed concern that sod testing will come across pockets of contamination unrelated to the wildfires and will need to be ¢mediated Sherman said that's the wrong way of looking at it. "I don't think residents are if it's unsafe because of one thing or another thing," Sherman said. "We want to know it's safe."

"The mayor has said that we will rebuild as quickly as possible, but it must be safe," said Zech Seidl, spokesperson for Bass. "She will be working with all partners at every level of government so that Palisades residents can trust that their properties are safe from toxins" Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Judy Chu, a Democrat, said she had contacted federal agencies to get answers for her constitu- ents in Altadena and Pasa- dena who lost hones and businesses in the Eaton fire. "The health and safety of my constituents are uppermost in my mind as we recover from the wild- fires," Chu said in a state- ment. "Survivors must have the ability ro return to homes and properties without toxic -laden ash threatening them and thew families' lives. I am con- tacting FEMA, EPA, the county and environmental experts to get to the bot- tom of I am deeply concerned aboutthe po- tential of toxins g in our soil after debris removal, and 1 will work with ow partners at the local, state and federal level to make sure our co mmunity is safe." The FEMA policy has caused some wildfire survi- vors t0 consider opting out of the Army Corps -led cleanup program. That includes Kenneth Ehrlich, a 26-year resident of Pacific Palisades who lost his home in the fire. When he and his two sons returned to the neigh- borhood, they didn't both- er getting out of the car. "Our house was blown rway, gone, dust," Ehrlich ecalled. "All that was standing was our chimney and a basketball hoop. We didn't even make the nun onto our street We could ire everything was obliter- ated." Ehrlich said he is wary of rebuilding on land that may still be contaminated, potentially putting his family at risk of inhaling or touching toxic dust when they're outdoors. In Pam Palisades, entire neighborhoods re- main blanketed in toxic ash and debris from incin - crated homes and vehicles. Public officials have warned that this wildfire ash probably contains brain -damaging lead and cancer -causing arse As heavy rain has driven into the charred landscape, officials worry that conta- ants may be seeping dconta- minantseper into the roil, raising concems about long-term exposure risks. For this reason, Ehrlich and some of his neighbors have reached out to private contractors who may be willing to perform soil testing when they are rel- ished removing wildfire debris and a layer of top- soil. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which is over- seeing debris removal, says its hands are tied. It is bound by FEMA directives that explicitly rule out testing and prohibit crews from retuning to remove more soil if contamination lingers a.mmM1..r OverleneWert wet C--- R.eeerwwwM Agency NOTICE Of MAUD k.N1REO The WM el Comrmwes ;pnaanrNo rnerdre dewoanwv Rn.w� mart, r canu7enW4n)Mrow annb Hoenig rul245 at 1000 am arms. meraMraGibeormasn nraa taaml at Mom ay laA 35ao ran Me ten Deere The In.ON core , no 2M,aue or.a2UWM ,,00Mb a.YJ,N.O.e' Yea, 0.e. a 90000 Cdre0000 P uwkmb COMP appall. r1Nx1 tag rNertnron d Ye u.w.Pa3nw sa1p0 bW a 1931 and bub0 el IOW NW.

While soil testing itself is not inexpensive, returning to excavate additional dirt could cost tens of thou- sands of dollars per proper- ty. Some federal and local official have expressed concern that soil testing will come across pockets of contamination unrelated to die wildfires and will need to be remediated. Sherman said that's the wrong way of looking at it. "I don't think residents are if it's unsafe because of one thing or another thing," Sherman said. "We want to know it's safe."

"The mayor has said that we will rebuild as quickly as possible, but it must be safe," said Zach Seidl, spokesperson for Bass. "She will be working with all partners at every level of government so that Palisades residents can trust that thew properties are safe from toxins." Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Judy Chu, a Democrat, said she had contacted federal agencies to get answers for her constitu- ents in Altadena and Pasa- dena who lost homes and businesses in the Eaton foe. "The health and safety of my constituents are uppermost in my mind as we rover from the wild - Eves," Chu said in a state- ment. "Survivors must have the ability to return to homes and properties without toxic -laden ash threatening them and their families' lives. 1 am con- tacting FEMA, EPA, the runty and environmental experts to get to the bot- tom of this. 1 am deeply concerned about thh po- tential of toxins g in our soil after debris removal, and I will work with our partners at the local, state and federal level to make sure our community is safe." The FEMA policy has caused some wildfire survi- vors to consider opting out of the Army Corps -led cleanup program. That includes Kenneth Ehrlich, a 26-year resident of Pacific Palisades who lost his home in the fire. When he and his two sons returned to the neigh- borhood, they didn't both- er getting out of the car. "Our house was blown away, gone, dust," Ehrlich recalled "A11 that was standing was our chimney and a basketball hoop. We didn't even make the turn onto our street. We could see everything was obliter- ated." Ehrlich said he is wary of rebuilding on land that may still be contaminated, potentially putting his family at risk of inhaling or touching toxic dust when they're outdoors. In Pacific Palisades, entire neighborhoods re- sin blanketed in toxic ash and debris from incin- erated homes and vehicles. Public officials have warned that this wildfire ash probably contains brain -damaging lead and cancer -causing arse As heavy rain has driven into the charted landscape, officials worry that conta- minants may be seeping deeper into the soil, raising concems about long-term exposure risks. For this reason, Ehrlich and some of his neighbors have reached out to private contractors who may be willing to perform soil testing when they are fin- ished removing wildfire debris and a layer of top- soil. The US. Army Corps of Engineers, which is over- seeing debris removal, says its hands are tied. R is bound by FEMA directives that explicitly rule out testing and prohibit crews from returning to remove ore soil if contamination lingers. aa,.e.r Owa.iMMa...Lr rlb re EOPPUN. s.
