The proposal by the Environmental Protection Agency to use a concrete lot near Malibu City Hall as a temporary processing site for hazardous fire debris has faced strong opposition from locals. During a city council meeting, residents expressed their concerns over the potential dangers of storing hazardous materials close to schools, emphasizing that the materials involved were not comparable to typical household items. Mayor Doug Stewart also voiced his disapproval, highlighting the risks to children and surrounding homes. The council members, surprised by this sudden proposal, had not planned to address the issue during the meeting.
"I do resent comparing this to, like, cleaning out some old, like, Drano. This is not f-ing Drano."
"As mayor of this city, I can't encourage you to put this site across the street from us, so close to all these kids, homes and so forth."
