This was a lot where dirt was dumped on Bienveneda. Now dirt has also been reported to have been dumped on two El Medio lots.
Yesterday, Circling the News reported on illegal dumping of dirt in the Marquez area, noting that contractors, who are either digging basements or grading lots, are dumping dirt on empty lots.
The resident building is paying to have a contractor take the dirt away. Instead, as one resident said, “You’ve paid them a fortune to dump it a few miles away on burned out lots.”
The area affected seemed to be on lower Bienveneda.
Today CTN received news that dumping was also happening on El Medio.
Long-term Palisades Recovery President and resident Jessica Rogers sent a text to CTN “A neighbor’s lot has been filled with dirt that was dumped at El Medio and Bowdoin. It was about 10 heaps of dirt.”
She said the family’s contractor caught one of the guys dumping. The guy said he didn’t understand or speak English and thought the family needed the dirt. The family who owns the lot are trying to find out where the dirt came from.
“This is so awful,” Rogers said. “It will cost the family a lot of money to have it removed.”
Next door to that family’s lot, two heaps of dirt was also dumped yesterday and now the family will also have to pay to have it removed.
If anyone on El Medio has cameras on the street and saw trucks loaded with dirt coming through yesterday, and caught possible license plates, alert Councilmember Traci Parks’ field deputy, Arus Grigoryan( [email protected]) and Palisades Senior Lead Officer Brian Espin ( 310) 444-0737 or email [email protected].
Also, if anyone sees dumping wood along Temescal Canyon Road, which is illegal and happening again, please take photos of the license plates and give them to LAPD’s Espin.
You’re complaining about dirt? Don’t the ex-residents of Palisades have more important things to address like maybe getting their houses rebuilt?
