		<description><![CDATA[California EPA's Department of Toxic Substances Control, in a sleight of land, has negotiated a deal with KB Home that would leave the 1,595-acre property virtually unremediated for radioactive and chemical contamination while the adjacent 2,850-acre Santa Susana Field Laboratory would be extensively cleaned up to background levels. Some Simi Valley residents, led by the Radiation Rangers, are wondering why what's good enough for Rocketdyne isn't good enough for Runkle.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, Simi Valley's Radiation Rangers take Runkle Canyon developer KB Home to task after news that its former head, Bruce Karatz, was convicted of four felonies secretly backdating stock options to the tune of $6.6 million and then lying to regulators about it. The Rangers are happy that Karatz may be incarcerated but point out that the residents of the Simi and San Fernando valleys still have to contend with one of Karatz's most controversial aquisitions under his tenure at KB Home: Runkle Canyon. The Rangers demand that KB Home clean up the canyon which appears contaminated with high radiation, chemicals and heavy metal yet is planned for a 461 home community.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Runkle Canyon developer KB Home gave the Department of Toxic Substances Control 41 environmental reports on its property, <em>EnviroReporter.com</em> analyzed each one and presented its 28 pages of findings to DTSC in July 2008. The department ignored most of these analyses which we subsequently submitted to DTSC in February 2009 as public comments to the Runkle Canyon Response Plan. Will the department again ignore these questions and comments now that there is new leadership for the Runkle Canyon site?]]></description>

Blaze reminds then-Department of Toxic Substances Control project head, Norm Riley, that Dade Moeller himself claimed that he's "just not worried about radiation exposure because of the likelihood that we'll soon have a cure for cancer." Blaze burns DTSC over issue and questions if the Response Plan is a "dog and pony show."]]></description>
