3645 - Exide Technologies Facility Contamination Clean Up Program

The Exide Technologies Facility Contamination Clean Up Program oversees the removal and remedial actions in the communities surrounding the Exide Technologies facility in the City of Vernon. Under the program, DTSC will test the soil for lead contamination in approximately 10,000 properties, including residences, schools, daycare centers, and parks within a 1.7 mile radius of the facility. The program will clean up contaminated soil at those properties with the highest levels and greatest potential for exposure.
