Wyle Norco Site Gets Superfund Label
The Wyle Laboratories site in Norco qualifies for listing as a Superfund site, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Friday. The designation means the site is among the most polluted in the nation.
However, the federal agency is not listing it as a Superfund site because California is already enforcing a consent order requiring Wyle to clean up contamination. Hazardous chemicals have spread in the soil at the 429-acre site, which was used for testing of military ordnance, rocket motors and electronics.
