Read about the five decades of radioactive and nonradioactive hazardous, toxic contamination of the Santa Susana Mountain Range and it's surrounding lands: Susana Knolls, Chatsworth, Simi Hills, San Fernando Valley, Box and Bell Canyon, Corriganville, Sage and Parker Ranches among others. PLUTONIUM, PERCHLORATE, STRONTIUM-90, CESIUM-137, RADIOACTIVE TRITIUM, TRICHLOROETHYLENE, HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM, BERYLLIUM, MERCURY, BENZENE, AND MORE toxic materials were used onsite at the Rocketdyne/Boeing Santa Susana Field Lab, and have been discovered offsite as far west in Simi as Casarin Street at the present time. Read HOT SHEETS articles known as MEMORIAL DAY | D-DAY 2000 | FLAG DAY | D-DAY II INDEPENDENCE DAY . Protect your rights by learning about the contamination and radiation poisoning that has killed more than one quarter of Rocketdyne Workers from cancer as a direct result of inhaling and ingesting radioactive particulates onsite at the open field lab as according to the UCLA Rocketdyne Worker Study published in 1997. Learn by reading these investigative pieces, that although Rocketdyne/ Boeing spokespersons state that there has been no nuclear work since 1988, that TWO NUCLEAR PHYSICISTS, Otto Heiney and Larry Pugh, were Killed, and an engineering technician was permanetly disabled during the illegal burning of spent radioactive fuel in July, 1994. Become aware of the fact that the FBI investigated and prosecuted Rocketdyne et al in 1996 and that Rocketdyne officals Pleaded Guilty to Criminal Charges of Illegal Handling, Storage, and Disposal of Nuclear Hazardous and nonradioactive, carcinogenic, hazardous, toxic wastes such as those listed above, including Hydrazine.

Lung, liver, brain, bladder, thyroid, and kidney cancers as well as fetal impairment, coma, death, lymphoma, and leukemia, among other diseases linked to the Santa Susana Field Labs' decades of radiation poisoning discovered in the soil, water, and air offsite of the facilities are a matter of public record by reveiw of the UCLA Rocketdyne Worker Health Study: Taxpayer Dollars are involved in the funding of this study the Results of which were Withheld from Taxpayers and Residents of the surrounding communities by the California Department of Health Services.

Become aware of the fact that persons injured by the cumulative effects of radiation poisoning have been denied justice because their cases regarding personal injury caused by Rocketdyne/Boeing illegal activies have been dismissed by the United States District Court, Region IX, as the court ruled in favor of these toxic polluters' statute of limitations defenses, 27 March, 2000, and recently dismissed the class action suit, O'CONNOR VS. BOEING et al, 10 July, 2000, which may have impacted more than 300 (three hundred) personal injury and wrongful death claims filed by residents of the Santa Susana Field Lab's surrounding communities and by persons living at sites adjacent to the OPEN FIELD LAB.

Contaminated water discovered at Outfall # 02 which is a concern to the
Agency for Toxic Substance Disease Registry due to the potential for deep fracture flow, (ATSDR Preliminary Draft Report, 03 December, 1999), and was used to extinguish the recent blaze of more than 800 acres of Bell Canyon, Parker and Sage Ranches, and Simi Hills, (11 June, 2000), came from the Silver Nale Holding Pond at the Rocketdyne/Boeing site.

Become aware of the shocking fact that ALL Hispanics and ALL Persons with Hispanic Surnames were excluded from health studies conducted by the California Department of Health Services regarding high incidences of cancers discovered in persons residing near the Santa Susana Field Lab during 1990 and 1992. Know that it is unlawful, for recipients of funding from the US Department of Health and Human Services, (State Agencies, Universites, and Individual health care providers) to discriminate against an individual or a group based upon their race, color, creed, tribal affiliation, religion, disabilities, sex, familial status, age, marital status, socio-economic background or status, or political affiliation, as the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT TITLE VI of 1964 clearly states that such discrimination by recipients of tax funds is a federal crime. Non-compliance of the Civil Rights Act by such recipents is a violation of the United States Constitution.

Groups Intend to Sue Over DOE Rocketdyne Cleanup Effort
From staff reports
20 July, 2004
Two public health groups Monday notified the Department of Energy they intend to sue the agency for violating federal environmental laws in its ongoing effort to clean up Rocketdyne's Santa Susana Field Laboratory near Simi Valley.

The Natural Resources Defense Council and Committee to Bridge the Gap charge that the agency's cleanup plan for the site, where various U.S. agencies conducted nuclear research over four decades, would leave dangerous levels of radioactive tritium; the solvent trichloroethylene; perchlorate, a chemical used in rocket fuel; and other toxic chemicals and radioactive material that pose a threat to public health.

The Department of Energy now has 60 days to comply with the law in its cleanup effort or the Defense Council and Bridge the Gap will file a lawsuit. The groups specifically charge that the agency is in violation of the National Environmental Protection Act; Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; and the Endangered Species Act.

DOE, NASA and the Defense Department had held nuclear experiments dating back to the 1950s at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory, which included a plutonium fuel fabrication facility, a facility for cutting up irradiated nuclear fuel, and about 10 nuclear reactors, one of which experienced a partial meltdown.

Late last year, the Environmental Protection Agency determined the Department of Energy's cleanup efforts at the site will leave too much radioactivity in place to meet federal standards for unrestricted land use.

Department of Energy officials disputed the allegations.

"The Department of Energy is making good progress cleaning up the Energy Technology Engineering Center site in an environmentally safe and sound manner," spokesman John Belluardo said.

He said the agency would have no additional comment, pending further review of the letter.
