Petition against the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for the approval of the expansion of the Chiquita Canyon Landfill directly adjacent to the community of Val Verde, CA.  

​

This action concerns Los Angeles County’s approval of the continued operation and expansion of the Chiquita Canyon Landfill (“Project”). Petitioners seek a writ of mandate directing Respondents, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES and LOS ANGELES COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, to set aside Respondents’ approval of the Project and certification of a Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) for the Project.  Petitioners contend the County’s approvals were unlawful and that the County abused its discretion as it failed to comply with the procedural and substantive requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and its findings were not supported by substantial evidence.
