State water regulators have ordered Shell Oil to clean up and monitor pollution in soil under the Carousel neighborhood of Carson.
Testing found benzene and hydrocarbons – chemicals known to cause cancer – four years ago.
The neighborhood sits where Shell maintained crude oil in reservoirs for decades.
The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board says Shell must make a plan to clean soil under some of the nearly 300 homes to a depth of 10 feet.
Shell also has to investigate how far the pollution has spread, and monitor pollution levels in soil and air. Water regulators have emphasized that they’re moving quickly; they say they’re seeking public input every step of the way.
Remediation efforts could force temporary relocation of people in the Carousel neighborhood as early as this summer.
But some who have signed up to sue Shell over the pollution have raised questions about the extent of the cleanup – and about how far the pollution has already spread.
Now the company must turn in a cleanup plan within two months. Water board representatives say no current plans prevent deeper cleanups if they’re needed in the future.
Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
