The EPA is tackling one of the biggest wildfire cleanups in U.S. history, teaming up with the California National Guard and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to clear hazardous waste in Los Angeles County. With the Palisades and Eaton fires leaving behind massive destruction, this effort isn’t just about removing debris—it’s about protecting public health, restoring the environment, and keeping water supplies safe. This cleanup is a big deal, as wildfires can have lasting impacts on water quality and infrastructure.
With over 13,000 homes and 250 businesses affected, the EPA has deployed nearly 500 personnel, expecting that number to surpass 1,000 in the coming days. The National Guard will use the Sepulveda Basin as a staging area to help coordinate the cleanup, ensuring a swift and efficient response.
