I lived on the East side of Simi Valley from 1985-1994. In 2000 I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, one of the five cancers listed as possible from the Rocketdyne travesty. Are there any class action suites or contacts where I may file a monetary complaint, not that it will bring back the evils of radiation including loss of hearing, eyesight, teeth and general malaise since 31 radiation treatments. Thank you.

Consumer Watchdog has produced a report on DTSC, including interviews with DTSC insiders that rips the lid off of this “captured” agency, Boeing’s astroturfing and greenwashing of the contaminated Santa Susana Field Laboratory along with its “sham” community advisory group plus other DTSC misdeeds across the state:

The report is here:

Note on the last page of the report, that it references EnviroReporter.com‘s series Boeing’s Meltdown Makeover:

NBC Bay Area‘s Investigative Team TV news segment:

Note that in the above linked TV news segment, DTSC director Debbie Raphael tries to dodge the excellent television reporter and her cameraman on the streets of Sacramento. Why? Obviously to dodge the questions about the report but, if you watch the video at 5:19, perhaps to hide the fact that she was literally running to see Peter Weiner himself on a street corner, the ex-head of Cal-EPA – now Boeing lobbyist – who EnviroReporter.com reported on in part 4 of our series in Toxic Department:

I read the Thousand Oaks Acorn article about the EPA study and saw the illustration credit from this website which I can’t believe I hadn’t known about before. WOW. This series is mind-boggling. I’m glad the Acorn, EnviroReporter and other media are covering the contamination findings at Rocketdyne and don’t appear to have been “green-washed”. Boeing should not be able to buy its way out of a cleanup whether through snowing the media or through lobbyists or astroturfing. There is no way that that kind of contamination can not have an affect on the surrounding communities and we have the right to have peace of mind from knowing that it has been cleaned up.

I worked at the fl. I don’t know of any movies made there. I think you are thinking of Spawn Ranch.

If you want some human proof, research ‘Big Sky Movie Ranch’ and the movies and television shows shot there and how many of the actors have died from cancer. Shows like ‘Little House’ for one were shot there.
