EPA Warns of Potential Flare-Ups
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a warning regarding the Moss Landing Battery Plant. While cleanup efforts are underway following a previous incident, the EPA cautions that future flare-ups are still possible. According to a federal on-scene coordinator, phase one of the clean-up process is ongoing, with approximately 60% of the "accessible" batteries being delinked.
“We are taking every precaution to ensure the safety of the community and the environment," said an EPA spokesperson. "However, the nature of these batteries means that the risk of future incidents cannot be completely eliminated."
Ongoing Investigation and Monitoring
Both the shooting in Stockwell and the situation at the Moss Landing Battery Plant remain under close scrutiny. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward. The EPA continues to monitor the battery plant and work towards a long-term solution to prevent future incidents.
