The state and three private corporations will finance a $500,000 study on ways to clean up the Los Angeles-area Del Amo toxic waste site, the Deukmejian Administration said. Dow Chemical, Shell Oil and Cadillac-Fairview Inc., will provide $425,000, said Dr. Kenneth Kizer, director of the state Department of Health Services.
