WESTMINSTER
A community open house to discuss a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report on the completion of the cleanup of a former toxic waste dump will be from 4 to 8 p.m. today in the Westminster High School cafeteria.
The dump site--bounded by the Orange Flood Control Channel to the south, Goldenwest Street to the west, the U.S. Navy railroad to the north and Chestnut Street to the east--was used by Ralph Gray Trucking Co. to dispose of oil product waste in the 1930s, EPA officials said.
The EPA’s Final Close-Out Report on the cleanup, undertaken from 1992 to 1997, is a step toward removing the site from the agency’s Superfund list. Information: (415) 744-2186.
