Mayor Drops Effort to Delay Landfill Request
- Share via
Mayor James K. Hahn has dropped an effort to delay processing an application to expand the Sunshine Canyon Landfill.
City Atty. Rocky Delgadillo had warned that the delay effort could allow the state to approve the expansion over the city’s objections.
Last year, Browning-Ferris Industries applied for a state permit to expand its landfill in an unincorporated part of Los Angeles County into Granada Hills. Two weeks ago, Hahn told city officials to withhold approval of the expansion and not forward the application to the state until the city attorney had studied the city’s legal options.
