On January 19, 2017, OEHS received a letter from the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), who concurred that the soil removal/replacement activities were successfully completed at the Lorena Street Elementary School / Extera Public School No. 2. Receipt of the letter marks the completion of the environmental investigation and clearance of all twenty-two LAUSD campuses within the DTSC’s established 1.7 mile radius from the Exide facility fence line. These investigations and subsequent soil removal activities, required at only at three of the campuses, were conducted with the oversight of the DTSC.

OEHS received a letter from the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), who concurred that the soil removal/replacement activities have been successfully completed.  The perimeter fencing restricting access to the lawn/landscaped areas can also be removed; however, it will remain in place until the sod is fully established.

OEHS is scheduled to receive the Lorena Street Phase 2 Soil Removal Activities report from its consultant (AECOM) by 1/13/2017.  Once received and reviewed by staff, a final version of the report will be forwarded to the Department of Toxics Substances Control (DTSC) for their concurrence and subsequent determination letter documenting completion of the District’s soil removal/replacement activities.
