Properties cleaned up

There are 2 phases of cleanup:

  • Phase 1: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency clears household hazardous waste
  • Phase 2: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers clears structural debris

Currently, LA County is accepting Right of Entry forms for Phase 2. Once validated by the county, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers assesses properties and begins debris removal.

Air quality

South Coast Air Quality Management District and the California Air Resources Board are working together to measure air quality in your area.

Monitoring occurs in two stages: mobile monitoring surveys and stationary monitoring.

  • Stage 1 - Mobile monitoring surveys: Four mobile surveys were completed, two for the Eaton fire area and two for the Palisades fire area. Mobile surveys capture a snapshot in time of air toxic metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The data was used to help guide locations for stationary air monitors. They are not used to establish health risks.
  • Stage 2 - Stationary air quality monitors: They measure pollutants in the air. This includes particulates (PM2.5 and PM10), lead, arsenic, other toxic metals, and asbestos.

Mobile air monitoring

Mobile air monitoring is now complete.

Four mobile surveys, two in each burn area, were conducted.

Results

Overall, survey results from Eaton and Palisades areas were within background levels, with some elevated levels of lead, arsenic, chromium and nickel.

Eaton data results

  • While some samples are still being analyzed, analysis continues to show levels do not pose an immediate risk to public health. Residents are encouraged to continue following the safety precautions outlined by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
  • Samples from 3/2/25, 3/5/25, and 3/8/25 near Altadena Golf Course and at Christ the Shepherd Lutheran Church and Fire Station 11:
    • All air toxic metals are within background levels. Asbestos was detected near the Altadena Golf Course and Christ the Shepherd Lutheran Church on 3/5/25, but then was not detected on 3/8/25.
    • To date, continuous PM10 and PM2.5 hourly data were below federal standards.

Palisades data results

  • While some samples are still being analyzed, analysis continues to show levels do not pose an immediate risk to public health. Residents are encouraged to continue following the safety precautions outlined by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
  • Samples from 3/2/25, 3/5/25, and 3/8/25 near Will Rogers State Beach and at Fire Station 69:
    • Some air toxic metals were above background levels, but do not pose an immediate health risk. Asbestos was not detected.
    • To date, continuous PM10 and PM2.5 hourly data were below federal standards.
