East Pasadena is fairly dry, at about 16 inches of precipitation a year, so a spill on soil can linger in place until it is removed. With a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA, Los Angeles County can face spills that spread quickly in high water and call for fast containment.
The work often covers:
- Control of fumes and odors with ventilation and treatment suited to the material
- Cleanup of flooded or fire-damaged sites where containers broke and contents are unknown
- Cleanup after a vehicle accident, tank failure or equipment leak at a business or farm
- Cleaning of pavement, concrete, tile and metal surfaces after a hazardous release
