#LAFires Could Transform Former #Rocketdyne Site into #FEMATrailerPark
January 2025
"#Radiation and chemical vapors on 47-acre #CanogaPark site are too toxic for housing, but could be mitigated to safely house residents displaced by January 2025 fires in above-ground trailers.
- Gross site contamination and development encumbrances prohibit residential housing
- Hundreds of #FEMATrailers, mobile homes and even shipping containers could be placed on site safely and temporarily house thousands of #LosAngeles disaster victims [Or maybe a potential #DetentionCenter? Hmmmm...]
- Efforts to clean up polluted west Valley groundwater could emulate 2024 agreement to remediate fouled east Valley aquifer and provide billions of gallons of clean water"The former Rocketdyne Canoga Park facility in the western #SanFernandoValley is so contaminated that it is nearly impossible to build anything on it other than light industry even though a developer wanted to construct homes on the site.
"#Chemicals and #radiation severely contaminate the land and #groundwater in and around the site according to documentation obtained by EnviroReporter.com.
"According to astonishing information never before covered in the media, areas offsite and around #RocketdyneCanoga are hot with high amounts of gross alpha and uranium radiation."

It's crazy that a large portion of a large city is missing and it's business as usual on the other side of the country.

"The mid-twentieth-century dream that #LosAngeles is America’s Eden, celebrated by Reyner Banham as he tooled around its freeways, has been superseded by the dark reality envisioned by Mike Davis, who foretold with uncanny accuracy what the other side of paradise would be like."

In the summer of 1956, 15-year-old Kathy Kohner Zuckerman learned to surf, and she recorded her experiences of riding waves and the people she met in a diary. Everyone had a nickname — Tubesteak, Lord Blears, Thrifty Phil — and Kathy wanted one too. Soon, she became Gidget, a portmanteau of "girl" and "midget." Her story went on to become a series of novels, a movie starring Sandra Dee, an ABC series starring Sally Field, a stage musical co-written by Francis Ford Coppola, and more. And, Defector's David Davis argues, it also was an inflection point in surf culture, turning it from "a sleepy pastime to a billion-dollar mainstream commodity." Kohner Zuckerman dipped out of the limelight in the 1960s before re-embracing it over the past couple of decades. Davis spoke to her about her early experiences, her unique place in American culture, her life as Gidget and beyond, and what she saved from the LA fires that razed her home of 60 years.

Another example of good, relevant reporting by AP https://apnews.com/article/southern-california-debris-flow-rain-wildfire-663334ac70b701eb8e761da5269dd02d
Sounds like the heavy rains (up to 100mm) over the hilly burnt areas in #LAfires did cause the expected mud slides but mud only went up 20cm in the roads - while remaining buildings were protected by sand bags and temporary concrete walls.
With the top soil now washed away, will new plants be able to take root at all? 🤔 I guess so. Because this mediterranean biome, called Chaparal biome, consists of shallow root grasses, shrubs and low trees. Not like in the Rockies in the article above.
And could the precious mud in the roads now be hauled back uphill ?🤔 I guess not. Because it also contains the toxins from all the burnt buildings, I reckon.#ClimateChange #wildfire #mudslide #heavyRain #weatherExtreme

With #Sierra snow pack at less than half of normal levels, #California Department of Water Resources announced that municipal #water agencies will receive just 20% of requested #H2O supplies, but that total is upped from 15% back on Dec. 23 rd.
Ironically Pouting #Prez #DJT's uninformed but forcefully ordered release by #NationalGuard to open #dams and release millions of gallons of water to supposedly fight the #LAfires
has further damaged state's stored agricultural supplies, and simultaneously harms survival chances of threatened aquatic life.The majority of flow sent by Trump likely just goes to waste trapped in the middle of the state with no way to ever reach parched #SouthernCalifornia neighborhood #firehydrants.
