for the full clean up. you're going to hear a lot today. we've got a lot of facts. we know the facts. we're all intelligent people here, but i think what is lacking is courage to dot right thing. so i wanted to bring you my daughter's bides of courage. my daughter's a two-time cancer survivor at 9 years old. >> can you do it? hachoo! you want to go to disney land today? >> yeah. >> okay. let's go to disneyland. >> oh, yeah! are you going to go too? >> i'm coming too. >> she earned all night beads through her cancer treatment program. each bead represents something different, for example, red represents when she had a blood transfusion. black when she got poked with a needle. yellow for in-patient stays. white for chemotherapy. this is what she earned the first month. i'd like to share with you what shy has earned over the last two times fighting cancer. a few of the photos, i just want to fly through rile quick of some of the children that we've met who are local. i went to camp with this little boy last weekend. he's about to lose his second eye. this little boy has t-cell leukemia. he's doing all right, he's in remission. we've had several who've passed away. we need to you step in and protect us and protect our children. do the right thing. thank you. >> thank you. >> hi. i love you. want to sit on my lap? i know you're sore right now. my daughter, grace ellen had just turned 4 years old, when we found bruises all over her body. took her to the pediatrician and found out she had an incredibly rare and aggressive form of childhood leukemia. she had a 20% survival rate. she really endured a lot of suffering that first year. and then she had a year and a half of just wonderful cancer-free childhood. and then gracie's cancer relapsed, and it came back. >> it was april 2013, and my daughter hazel was 2. and i was noticing that she was not quite herself. i kept calling the doctors, and everybody was going, it's probably just the flu. and i turned to my husband, and i said my mommy instincts are telling me something's really wrong. i said i don't know why, but i think she has cancer. they performed some blood work tests and ultra sound. after several days of tests, we knew it was neuroblastoma. >> all right, hazel, are you ready for simon says? >> yes. >> simon says touch your nodes. simon says touch your head. simon says touch year ears. simon says say "i love you." >> i love you. >> simon says sing "twinkle twinkle." [cheers and applause] >> hazel was in remission for two and a half years. in 2016 she relapsed. >> good job. >> first time grace had cancer, we lived over 100 days at children's hospital in los angeles. >> how cool is that? >> as we were meeting families, we would casually ask, where are you from? >> that's exactly what happened with the bumstead family. they were at the hospital the same time we and grace, and her daughter hazel, immediately became friends. they are similar in so many ways. so it felt great to have that connection. ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ ♪ happy birthday dear gracie ♪ >> and we found out that we lived within 20 minutes of each other. >> and i kept meeting other families, and they'd say how about that, we live around the corner, two blocks over. three miles, five miles. >> then several other moms and dads in west hills, thousand oaks, and we were really at the time just thankful for it. but i think, as time went on, we're going wait a second, how is it that so many of us live nearby. we're going to children's hospital los angeles. a world-renowned hospital. people are coming from all over the world to come for treatment, and yet we're meeting people who live on our street. >> i kept pushing back against my own mental red flags until i met a family that said oh, we live on your street, and granted, we live on a long boulevard. it's three miles, but they lived on our street, and they said my neighbor had the same exact brain cancer that my son had. and there were two of them, neighbors, plus my daughter. that's three on the same street. so i panicked. and i set up a facebook group for all the local cancer parents, and we started mapping ourselves out on google maps. and for a long time we couldn't find the connection. we couldn't see what was going on, but we could tell there were too many of us. and it was about a year after that that someone mentioned the santa susana field, and i had never heard of it. we'd already lived here for seven years. we had to live with the fact that maybe it could have been avoided. maybe other children were in danger. maybe our government hadn't protected us the way it should have, and maybe our whole community had been hiding this giant secret. for driving safe and driving less. okay, what message did you hear this time? safe drivers can save using snapshot? -what's snapshot? -what the commercial was about. -i tune commercials out. -me too. they're always like blah, blah blah. tell me about it. i'm going to a silent retreat next weekend. my niece got kicked out of one of those. -for talking? -grand larceny. how about we get back to the savings?

>> yes, all of these operators are kind of young fellas. all with a high school education with some major in science. >> it was a cold wartime at that time and i was trying to help the united states outdo the russians. >> on the one side, the forces of freedom. on the other, the forces of communism. >> it was an honor to work there. i was working with the very best scientists in the nuclear business. in fact, the person that overseen the sre reactor was dr. marvin j. fox. he's the one that helped invent the atomic bomb that was dropped on hiroshima. and july 13th, about 11:00, usually when i got there on that particular graveyard shift. went in the building. i pulled up to the control room. looking through the door, and i seen my crew was already there. then i looked even closer, and i seen dr. marvin j. fox. and he had two others with him that i wasn't quite sure who they were, and i said man, there's something that's just not right. so i got brave and opened the door real quiet and then, as i stood there, i heard the words coming out of dr. fox's mouth. i herd my supervisor ask, can we tell our families what happened today? the three looked at each other for a minute, and dr. fox, he turned around real quick and stared me in the eyes, almost nose to nose. no one had say a word. nobody will say a word. from that point on, there was a coverup of what happened. >> it was the first step in a nuclear nightmare when a government official said that a breakdown in atomic power plant in pennsylvania today is problem lit worst nuclear reactor accident to date. >> i was teaching at ucla in 1979. and there was a sent at a nuclear power plant in harrisburg, pennsylvania called three mile island, and my students wanted to research whether there were nuclear activities in the los angeles area, whether they had any problems, i said sure, if ahead, and within a few weeks they found out there had been a partial meltdown at the nuclear reactor that we now call santa susana. they obtained footage. and documents. of the inside of the melted core. >> the fuel swelled in size and structural damage was sustained. >> partial meltdown occurred in a reactor with no containment structure. the radioactivity was so high they had to open this huge garage-type door to try to vent the radioactivity out. to the rest of l.a. one scholar estimated that the release from the melt down could have been 250 times greater than that from three mile island. this is a smaller reactor. it had nothing to prevent the radio activity from getting out. the radiation was clear off the scale. whichever way the wind was blowing, that's where the radiation travels, of course. it's like smoke from a fire. the men that was working there, they were so disturbed about it. all that radiation went over their homes. >> five weeks later, the saturday morning papers, and the press release didn't say there was a partial meltdown. or a serious accident. they said just the opposite. the moment they issued that press release. they were venting gases into the environment. >> despite the seriousness of the accident, the official news release claimed there was no indication of unsafe reactor conditions. >> they lied, and i couldn't say a word. 20 years i was silent. want yourl freshly washed all day without heavy perfumes?

where would it be dangerous. and after studying this for almost 40 year, i'm afraid i can't answer that. people need to understand, the laboratory's on a mountain. gravity wants to carry that contamination downhill. there is not a glass wall surrounding santa susana that prevents contaminants. the wind will carry it. there is not a dam wilt around the site so when it rains, the water carries the contamination down the streams. you are contaminating everything around the l.a. river. there was a children's camp called the brandeis bardin institute for young children and college students. it is right beneath the santa susana field laboratory. there has been some contamination found on the brandeis property and there is some concern about the children who have been or going to that facility. soil contamination goes down through the camp into the water that percolates into the groundwater. >> this is in our backyard. >> like gel. ew, dude. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ experience the power of sanctuary at the lincoln wish list event. ever notice how stiff clothes experience the power can feel rough on your skin?

wraps. i had a number of insiders tell me that people who run this agency have no interest in telling the truth about santa susana. my station broke a huge story back in 1979. a few years ago, that producer of that 1979 report came to see me at knbc and he said there is a lot more to the story than we broke back in '79. you have to continue our work. you have to dig deeper. >> you might wonder why we care about a nuclear accident that happened more than half a century ago. because as you're about to see, thousands of people have been secretly exposed to radioactive fallout. >> it was pretty clear to me that there were people inside certain government agencies like the dtse who were very close with boeing. >> that was a very effective way for boeing to buy protection for themselves. i was look into the department of toxic substances control and how it's regulating toxics and we did get very revealing material that showed us that the dtse is what i call a captured agency. it is captured by the regulators. >> insiders at the state department of toxic substance control told us that they were often too lenient with polluters who didn't clean up contamination. >> boeing maintains there's no health impacts from santa susana. they have said it's not getting off site at levels that are harmful to human health. that's just not true. >> polluters were very adept at flattering regulators, grooming them. taking them by the hand when they didn't know much. >> i also, as you know, represent many private companies who have found ms. raphael to be balanced, thorough and just as open as she claims to be. >> santa susana is a textbook civil lesson in the way government works. people work in government on an issue, in this case, santa susana, and they leave government, and they can make a lot more money being a lobbyist for the company involved in the issue. in this case, boeing. were hired by boeing, many had >> the flotilla of fixers that were hired by boeing, many had connections to jerry brown or had worked for him. >> it's been like a game of musical chairs. a former environmental aide of the state epa. and the former chief lawyer of the dtsc have all switched sides and worked on behalf of boeing to kill a full cleanup of santa susana. >> the santa susana laboratory is a complex cleanup. it costs a lot of money. and anytime it costs a lot of money, there's going to be politics at play. that leads to delay. >> in 2007, there was a consent order signed between the dtsc and the responsible parties that did not establish much of a cleanup standard. it was very weak and it was exactly what boeing wanted. >> it is based off of people being on the site very infrequently. that would result in 98% of the contamination not being cleaned up. people who live near santa susana do not live in recreational areas. they live in residential areas. >> all through the 2000s there was an effort to require a full cleanup. then state senator sheila kuehl who represented the area introduced bill after bill. >> workers and neighbors have become sick and too many have died. it's time to require full and complete cleanup. i ask for your aye vote. >> in 2007, she finally got her legislation through. >> believe it or not, under schwarzenegger there was an actual serious effort to clean up that site. but after governor brown came to office, things shifted very dramatically. >> boeing, however, went to court to overturn the law and through some exceedingly troubling action by the brown administration, that lawsuit was lost. within five weeks of jerry brown being sworn in in 2011, a secret stipulation was entered into between the state and boeing in that lawsuit. >> the state of california actually stipulated that they would not contest any material fact that boeing would put forward in the suit. and they actually agreed to that stipulation, it's my understanding, before ever having seen the material facts that boeing was going to put forward. the judge found it very easy to overturn the law. >> the state waived the right to dispute anything that boeing might say without knowing what those things would be. >> it was a major blow. and it was exactly what boeing wanted, and they got it. >> there are those who think your agency is too cozy with boeing. >> i haven't seen it, and i've looked for it. >> nasa and the department of energy also signed 2010 agreements with the state of california. and these were actually really historic agreements. and what they do is they say the santa susana field laboratory has to be cleaned up to background levels. and essentially what that means is if there is contamination on-site, it gets cleaned up. >> from your vantage point, what is the status of nasa's actions with respect to the cleanup? >> congresswoman, all that information you just related is my understanding as well as where we are. and nasa is committed to fulfilling our obligations under the afc. >> i'm tired of fighting. let's clean up the background. let's get this site closed. yes, things happen. yes, they are unfortunate. and we've made a commitment to clean it up. >> that cleanup was supposed to have already been concluded by 2017. and boeing and the federal agencies have ensured it hasn't even started. and i'm certain that these federal agencies do not want to set a precedent in terms of really cleaning up to a proper standard. and what happens when you cut your corners on safety is you kill people. and that's exactly what boeing did with the 737-max. that is their style. >> the department of energy, nasa, and boeing have made repeated promises to clean up, as has the state toxics agency that oversees them. and those promises have been broken again and again. >> will anyone from your agency talk to us at all? >> my public people have talked to you. >> we've made a commitment to clean it up. >> i've said all i'm going to say. >> at the end of the day, it's the right thing to do. >> you've said nothing. >> and that means that there have been years and years of additional migration possible that wouldn't have been possible if they had lived up to the commitments. >> it's my commitment to the

under 300 diagnosed in the united states, and there were 11 cases right near the site. we have very, very strong evidence that the first group of mothers whose children suffered from retinoblastoma did sue boeing and did settle and as part of that settlement were no longer allowed to talk to the media or get involved. if you have a child with cancer, it's very expensive. i know one mother in particular i talked to recently who their family is medically bankrupt now caring for their daughter. so i can understand if i was one of those mothers why they might have went with that agreement. and now several years later, we're seeing new cases of pediatric cancers that are near the site. >> exposes you to some increased risk of background of cancer, particularly for pregnant women and children. >> the beer 7 report which came out in 2006, that landmark study ended up showing that there is no linear threshold, that any level, any level of radionucleide exposure above background had an inherent increased risk of cancer. there is a dramatic increase in very rare and bizarre cancers that typically may happen a few times across the nation. and what we've been noting over the years is we have children who are not one, but two or three or four children within the community surrounding the test lab have these unusual cancers. >> boeing itself did risk assessments of what the risk would be if someone were to live on the property, and their own estimate for some of the locations was that the cancer risk was as high as 96 out of 100. meaning if 100 people lived there, 96 would get cancer from the contamination. epa and dtsc normally require that the risk be capped at 1 in a million. so you can see how serious the contamination is and how large the problem would be if they left it behind. >> we found documents that show the radiation has moved offsite, including at the brandeis bardin institute. >> my name is lee bycel and i was the president of the brandeis bardin institute. prior to accepting the job, i asked the chair of the board if there was anything i needed to be worried about, and she said it's all good. we've had a settlement, and everything in that land has been cleaned up, and there is nothing to worry about. >> i think one of the most surprising documents we unearthed was an internal report commissioned by the camp that proved there was a lot of contamination from santa susana that ran down into this children's camp. and it was the basis for the camp suing the owners of the field lab and then secretly settling that lawsuit. >> so when i hear about a settlement, what comes to mind is that there is liability there. we don't often want to hear the dark side of things. we don't often want to hear that there is something wrong. they have

you're not trained. i'm a nurse. you're not. how dare you? i'm an authority figure, you are not. i'm going to embarrass you for bringing this up and rocking the boat. and as she is going to get her, i didn't do anything because i ended up being more afraid of what she would say than protecting my daughter. and thank god nothing happened. but i swore that moment, i will never, ever let my children be put in danger because i was too scared to speak up. and i think that was the day i decided i'm going to hurt either way. i might as well make a difference. >> melissa bumstead. >> melissa bumstead. >> melissa bumstead. >> i hope i'm not talking too fast, but i'm pretty nervous. this is alarming, and we are concerned. the cancer moms in my community. these children are on my street that had it. ♪♪ >> hi! >> a group of seven mothers and i, not really understanding what we were doing, came to our first dtse department of toxic control meeting to find out what is wrong. are we in danger?

could have put that fire out. regardless of what happens to the site, it's always going to be in a fire risk area. so why would we remove water tanks and piping i don't know. >> not keeping fire

a legitimate concern. there is no secret surrounding the state of california and fires that happen here. >> after the fire, dtsc released an interim report. for them to release a report that shows them doing air monitoring after the fire is silly. the greatest risk was during the fire. they have now admitted that the burned vegetation made the contaminants in the soil more mobile. and that's part of the reason why we have these 57 exceedences in storm water runoff after the fire. but the bottom line is if it had been cleaned up as it should have been by 2017, we wouldn't be having this conversation. >> the vegetation on-site is contaminated. and as the vegetation burned, it then aerosolized high up into the atmosphere and was able to spread across the basin. our concern, admittedly for the fire was that the contamination probably spread mainly the toxic chemicals which come from the burning of fuels and the rocket engine firings, the dangerous levels of exposure to chemical contaminants somewhat follow a similar pattern to the radio nucleotides. every level increases the risk. >> much like chernobyl, the burning of those things, you had ash and small pieces of what would be considered "nothing" falling on people and killed hundreds of people. the people on those bridges, the people in those cities didn't realize there was some massive level of misinformation given. boeing has come out and said yeah, absolutely, all of these exceedences came from the fire. i mean, they can't deny that. what they're trying to deny is the impact that it could have. there are people close enough to that site that absolutely suffered the effects of it, and they will. >> my name is mike stenstrom. i'm a member of the expert panel. i'd like to say we've been involved in this, the

exceedences as we move forward in time. >> concentration over the course of the season are returning to prefire levels. >> what we have here is a lot of exceedences in areas where you don't see a lot of legacy contamination. >> so the system is already recovering, and we're happy about that. >> i'm the associate director of physicians for social responsibility los angeles. i feel like i'm living in an alternate universe, though, after this very orwellian presentation. it's 57 exceedences in violation is astonishing. the expert panel is paid by boeing. that begs a lot of credulity on their independence. >> it's an open seeping wound in our community that threatens our public health every time it rains or the wind blows or the fires burn. i live in simi valley. i have a 3-year-old. i'm a

thank you. >> i'm a little disappointed today. i had actually assumed that it would be an independent panel, expert panel speaking today. i didn't know anything about politics until the last five years, and i've learned that you always have to follow the money. that's the basic understanding of how america works these days, unfortunately. i was very disappointed. i'm sure their intellect is

for childhood cancers. we've had several who have passed away, and this is the cost of exceedences. and i would really ask you to have the courage to do the right thing. thank you. >> thank you. >> this was part of what was so amazing about this story to me. i grew up near the field lab. thousands of people have lived near the field lab, and most people have never heard of it. the santa susana

property. you don't have to dig 20 feet down to remove contamination that's on the surface. they're doing that to try to scare people about trucks and moonscaping and all of that stuff. >> what nasa and the department of energy have been doing in the past few years is looking at different levels of cleanup rather than different ways of reaching the standards that california has set. >> their stated thing is we did more work, we found more contamination. that would result in even more damage. so we want to do the recreational cleanup. >> recreational measures are just -- it's an absolute joke. that's almost doing nothing. >> it's not okay to just clean it up a little bit. it's kind of like you can't be just a little bit pregnant. either you're radioactive or you're not. >> nasa says that it will take 25 years to remove the soil that needs to be removed in order to comply with the administrative order on consent. >> and reaching out to larger contractors in the industry, all these guys agreed to the same level that they are likely inflating numbers to get an approval to not go that far. >> for the department of energy and nasa to be successful in walking away from santa susana field lab, all that has to happen is that nobody stands in their way. >> in order to make our informed public comment, we need to have some visuals. >> when you go the a public place and everybody says they have their exhibit set up, to come in and set another one. >> i'm on the board of supervisors and what we do during public comments is we give an opportunity, a platform, if they have a power point so they can show the power -- >> they have an opportunity. >> in public hearings, when they were done the way they used to do them, we would stand in front of the microphone, and people before the responsible party, before their community members speak for two minutes and give their input on a proposal before them. nasa just destroyed all of that. >> this whole thing was set up intentionally to prevent people making informed public comment. no presentation. the community needs to hear the truth, and we're the ones who can do it. we're going to do it as part of our public comment. >> but they put the public on for their display. all the things -- >> this is maps they're not going to show people. >> they feel is going to take away -- >> it's a public hearing. >> everybody, nasa is preventing public comment on their eis that breaks their cleanup commitment. people want to be able to show you lou they're violating the law, and physically is physically blocking you from seeing it. >> free speech, free speech! >> free speech! >> this is live right now, you guys. this is crazy. they set this up in this kind of a situation where we don't have a microphone like we normally do to say our problems. >> and as "the l.a. times" -- >> the court reporter is at a little table in the corner that's not marked, trying to limit public participation, prevent the media from knowing how much we disliked the proposal and prevent officials from knowing it, too. there is a protocol for how public hearings are handled, and that's not it. >> the only option we have right now is to try to read our comments loudly. and that's just absurd. >> the majority of its contamination not cleaned up. this is illegal and a direct threat to public health and the environment. nasa is preparing the supplemental dis. >> folks? folks? they are trying to evict me before i can make my public comments. >> he should be able to give three minutes and then you can do what you want. >> free speech! >> trespassing. >> trespassing? this is a public meeting. [ cheering ] >> free speech, free speech! free speech! free speech! >> you willingly left. >> no, you ordered me to leave. >> i did say you have to leave. >> yes. you ordered me to leave. before i could make my comment to the government, period. there is a lot at stake here that side is dangerous. it was a legal process that i was supposed to go before that and make comments and you barred me from doing that. >> in 50 years of this kind of work, i have never experienced such a thing. nasa knows what it is proposing to do is indefensible, and they took every measure that they could to prevent the public from hearing about it. >> for the responsible parties, this is a game. nasa and boeing continue to put forth a story line that their recommendations, their offerings of cleanup are adequate. and we know as we've alluded to that so many of the agents, there is absolutely no safe level. and again, if there is no safe level and you far exceed those levels on-site, and again, we know that those contaminants migrate offsite under the appropriate environmental conditions, there is no way that can protect the community around them. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ experience the power of sanctuary

over and other again we said our kids are sick. >> something that felt like a very isolated problem in my community, it's a little bit terrifying to realize this is happening all over the country. >> we sat in a room and listened to people from other areas list exact same issues -- poorly or unlined pits, massive dumping, open air tests. i was completely chilled to my core because i realized this isn't an accident. nor is it a mistake. >> there are many santa susanas all across this country. that remain highly contaminated in threatened communities and have not been cleaned up. >> it's all across america. it's the same players. different humans, but the same agencies, the same attitudes. >> let's face it. this community has been traumatized enough. >> if it wasn't for this group of moms that made this facebook page, i would have not known. >> there is an endemic problem with the whole system. you can have wonderful environmental laws and we have really powerful ones, but if they're not enforced, they're useless. and that has happened dozens and dozens of toxic sites in the state of california. and probably is emblematic of what goes on unfortunately all over the country. >> those stories are not uncommon where you have entire towns having these similar issues and until it's completely undeniable, nothing is done. >> committee on oversight and investigations would now come to order. i would now like to introduce the honorable anne white who is the assistant secretary office of department of environmental management, department of energy. >> honored chair, the government's nuclear defense programs played an integral role in ending world war ii and the cold war. our nation was unified to end those wars. that kind of resolve and unity of purpose is needed today as we address the resulting environmental legacy. we remain committed to completing cleanups so our host communities can envision a vibrant future. we can continue to live in the past or we can choose to understand the past, make course corrections, and move forward with collaborative solutions. it's time to choose the latter. >> you know, i've been on this committee a long time. we've seen d.o.e. make these promises before with regards to cleanup operations. >> what exactly does it mean that d.o.e.'s environmental management office does not follow leading management practices? >> anybody who has been on this job site should be fired. they're not doing their job right. >> where does hanford sit? it sits on the columbia river. where does savannah site sit? it sits on the savannah river. these are areas that are environmentally sensitive. >> look, i'm not a nuclear engineer, but i'm a mom and a citizen, and i can tell you that leaving it out there longer, waiting for some type of accident is not making our constituents across this country safer. >> we need to do better in program and project management. and i think we can do better. >> i do not believe government has done enough to try and build that bridge of trust. my name is anne white, and my position was assistant secretary of energy for environmental management, referred to as em1. obviously when you've got portions of the public all over the country who are unhappy with what you're doing, you're probably not doing enough. especially for a site like santa susana. a small site. it doesn't even usually come to the radar of an em1. it's tough. those kind of big bureaucracies are very challenging. it kind of just felt sometimes like a culture of molasses. >> and yet we seem no closer to cleaning up the sites or reducing the department's environmental liabilities. >> em cleanup right now is the third biggest liability to the u.s. taxpayers. we throw $7 billion a year into that pot, and the liabilities don't go down. >> did the taxpayer get good value for the $6 billion em roughly spent last year on nuclear waste cleanup? >> i believe the taxpayer got good value for their money. we can do better, though. >> so many of these sites are in places where they are the only game in town in terms of employment. if the cleanup gets completed, the jobs go away. and so, to some degree, em has become a jobs program. >> cleanup of these sites is critically important. we need to have it happen. and we can't be sitting here again in five, ten, or 20 years hoping that it will. >> the actions em needs to take involve significant cultural change at d.o.e. headquarters, the sites, and the contractors. >> when it involves kids and moms and all of these things, maybe they've been heard, but not listened to. and there's a difference i suppose. there is a big difference. and at santa susana right now, honestly, the conversation, well, could be so poisoned that there is no reverse gear in terms of building that trust. you just maybe never come to common ground, and that's a pity. but that's maybe the nature of the beast there, unfortunately. >> last year i didn't have enough energy for it, i think. i don't know if daddy will want me to do it this year. >> yeah. it is his car now. >> maybe put up posters instead. you need to push down your cuticle. but i'll come back to that one. >> thanks. it's pretty. >> it is pretty. i like how glittery it is. >> i feel more hopeful even though right now things are looking pretty glum again for the cleanup right now. i am more at peace with the thought that this could be the rest of my life. before that thought was just too frightening. i feel like whether or not it is the santa susana field lab or helping other sites, if this were to be the rest of my life i wouldn't fight it. i had my own plans for my life. i wanted to go on to illustrate kids books and be an author and garden. i had a really simple life planned out and it sounded just fantastic and the thought of not getting to have time to excel at any of those things was really hard. as i was praying about it i felt like god said i'm allowed to have a hobby. all right. i can take my dreams and let them be a hobby and doing this is more important than anything i had planned. i definitely feel like this is where i'm supposed to be in my life right now. it took gracie is lot of hard work and time to really kind of be a regular kid again. she's not a kind of kid to just lay down and take it. she's really strong. but the health effects will follow her all the rest of her life. i have had some people accuse me of to using grace's story. to some degree that's really true. if i could have brought people's hearts along without having to show gracie's story i wouldn't have. but if it helps other families not go through this same thing then i don't regret it and i don't think grace would regret it. i think she understands that we're willing to do anything to protect other kids from what she's gone through. >> like seeing her name, and like, her birthday and stuff, it is just so final. sorry. the santa susana field lab is -- i wouldn't say it's always in the front of my mind but it is consistently in the back of my mind. when i give my kids water or give them a bath. in the back of my mind when i see a new kid diagnosed. when i see another kid who's passed away. it's a hard one. i know i can't put all of my energy there. i'm still working my way back to being fully present with everybody, and my kids need their mom. i've been slowly putting pieces back together and i'm not as lost. i'm still lost but not as lost if that makes sense. for me i know i can never give up trying to fight but i also know that i have to use this brain sparingly because it's focused on so many different things right now. i'm trying to heal, trying to process, trying to grieve, trying to be a mom. but it is always there. it's always this lingering question in my mind. it's always this idea that is there. and it can't be quieted until it's cleaned up, i think. ♪♪ >> i hope that there's an end to this story. given what's happening in our country, i worry about all of our efforts to protect public health. i worry that focusing on santa susana will seem like a lex you, the days have passed when you could fight a fight and you might just win and could get an agreement own do community organizing and you could speak freely. >> we have in a world of distraction and self centeredness. we don't sense any connection to others, particularly to those that suffer. every day people who are affected by polluters have being walked all over. the damage that's done will last for centuries. we simply have to keep fighting it. >> i've been a reporter for 38 years. i have seen for just about everything. i was surprised government officials looked me in the eye and said santa susana is not a problem even when there's so many government documents that said otherwise. the public knows there's something here. the truth always comes out in the end. >> i think it takes an enormous amount of courage and work to see there's accountability and that something is done. it's up to the mothers and others who have the courage, have the time to make sure there's something that happens. it may be the only way. >> who will be the next child, the next person in your community? you don't give up on something like this because it's the right thing to do. when the people lead the leaders will follow. >> being in a lull right now doesn't feel like it defeat. it feels like part of the journey, and the thing that's heart breaking is that it's just going to continue but it's the kids that have to suffer and the parents who have to bury them that have to bear that for the rest of their lives. i'm not going to stop, so we'll just have to find out who has more endurance, me or them maybe. xxxx are you tired of clean clothes that just don't smell clean? downy unstopables in-wash
