Pacific Palisade, Calif. — Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to hold a photo shoot Tuesday afternoon to mark the beginning of removal of debris after the Palisade fires.
Debris removal occurs in two stages. Phase 1 hazardous material removal includes the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Administrator Lee Zeldin came to Pacific Palisades last week to oversee the process.
Phase 2 removal of private property debris begins after the EPA removes the dangerous material. It is carried out by the US Army Corps of Engineers or civil contractors. The debris is transported to local landfills using permits obtained from local city and county governments.
California has no direct role to play in debris removal except that the California Office of Emergency Services (OES) “sponsored” the EPA under Phase 1 responsibility. press release Monday from the Governor's office.
Nonetheless, Gov. Newsom is planning an epic ceremony on Tuesday. Glowing, freshly washed earth-powered machines line the streets, with American and California flags hanging from excavators on either side.
The excavator is placed in front of the first address you signed up for debris removal by the Army. The house is located in the Marquesnolls area, where the author lives, and the majority of it was destroyed in fire.
Locals could have saved many homes if firefighters had been deployed in advance, if there was enough water pressure on the hydrant, if the 177 million gallon Santay Nez Reservoir was barely empty. I believe there is sexuality.
Asked about the lack of water during the fire, Newsom said it wasn't his fault – “Locals are trying to understand that.” He has since ordered an investigation into why the reservoir is empty before the fire season.
He also appeared to accuse locals of failing to evacuate – in fact, many locals ordered evacuation and many people were locked up in their neighborhoods because they didn't direct traffic. It was being done.
Newsom then spoke about banning planting of trees and leaves within five feet of homes in fire-prone areas.
He also opposed the claim that he had cut the state's firefight. FactCheck.org I said He proposed “a one-off supplementary funding cut for several wildfire-related programs,” but since taking office he has raised overall fire service spending.
But he was hindrance According to Capital Public Radio in 2021 for misleading the public about the scope of his wildfire prevention program, which showed little evidence of “stopping attention throughout the year” in 2019.
On Friday, Newsom signed a new $50 million expenditure by the state to fight Trump administration policies and provide legal services to illegal foreigners. Newsom is seeking billions of dollars in federal aid from Palisades and Eaton Fires.
He previously accused President Donald Trump of trying to “politicize” the fire by denounceing the mismanagement of the nation.
