Alhambra : Waste Plant Plan Criticized
A City Council decision to request bidders for an environmental impact study of the proposed expansion of a hazardous-waste processing facility has drawn criticism from some Alhambra residents.

An initial study by city staff determined that an environmental impact report, focusing on the risk of accidental explosion and the possible increase in vehicular traffic in the area, was needed.
