Negotiations to continue on water cleanup
10:00 PM PST on Tuesday, January 29, 2008
Closed-door negotiations aimed at resolving the liability and clean up of the Inland region's largest unabated plume of perchlorate contamination are likely to continue another 60 days, officials said.
Lawyers for state regulators and the three companies alleged to have contributed to the groundwater pollution told a Los Angeles Superior Court judge Tuesday they needed more time to reach an agreement to keep talking. A status conference was set for Feb. 15, said Kurt Berchtold, assistant executive officer of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board.
A six-mile long plume of perchlorate, an ingredient of rocket fuel and fireworks, sits below Rialto and Colton and has tainted more than a dozen drinking wells.
