GRANADA HILLS : Judge Further Delays Expansion of Landfill
A Superior Court judge has further delayed any expansion of Sunshine Canyon Landfill above Granada Hills, saying that the public did not have sufficient opportunity to comment on changes in environmental review documents.
The ruling virtually ensures that the fate of the dump will be decided by a newly configured Board of Supervisors.
Judge Ronald M. Sohigian, in a ruling issued late last week, said that three of his requirements from an earlier ruling must be opened to 45 days of public comment. After that, they must be reconsidered by the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors.
By then, at least one--and perhaps two--of the expansion’s longtime supporters on the board will have been replaced because Supervisor Kenneth Hahn is retiring and Supervisor Deane Dana is involved in a tough reelection bid against Rolling Hills Mayor Gordana Swanson.
