The controversial cleanup of the former Ascon landfill site in southwest Huntington Beach is resuming after nearly two years.
Regulators from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control held a one-hour virtual meeting with residents Thursday night over Zoom. The meeting detailed plans to remove toxic waste from “Pit F,” a 45-foot wide and 30-foot deep portion of the site deemed the most toxic and currently covered by a white tent.
