Since 2012, ongoing renovations at the North Long Beach high school have required crews to excavate soil that the Long Beach Unified School District determined had “chemicals of concern.” In the summer of 2013, the district removed approximately 549 tons of soil containing chlordane, a chemical pesticide that was used for termite treatment until it was banned in 1988 after it was determined it was a potential carcinogen.
In 2018, LBUSD identified roughly 130 cubic yards of additional soil mixed with the banned pesticide near Buildings 200 and 250, a classroom building and the cafeteria. A review from geological consultant firm Leighton Consulting, Inc. suggested that the soil should be removed.
