flag FEMA and Army Corps face criticism for skipping soil tests in wildfire-affected LA County areas.

flag FEMA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are facing criticism for not conducting soil tests after removing debris from properties affected by the Los Angeles County wildfires. flag The agencies plan to remove a 6-inch topsoil layer and toxic ash but will not test for contamination, citing "scientific best practices." flag This differs from post-wildfire standards since 2007, which included soil testing. flag California's stricter environmental standards add to the controversy, with some officials calling for further testing and discussions on funding responsibilities.
