Playa Vista Residents of Fountain Park Apartments File Class Action Lawsuit for Methane Risk
Conclusion
The dangers associated with methane and other subsurface gases are not only well-documented but can also be life-threatening. City Ordinance 175790 and the PVMPDMP requirements are not optional and exist for a reason — to protect the health and safety of the community. These essential standards should not be overlooked or replaced by later state-level agreements that fail to address or ensure that their “DTSC-approved Mitigation System” in the O&M Agreement is equivalent to or superior to the PVMPDMP.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this crucial issue. We are eager to discuss this further at your earliest convenience, as we are dedicated to safeguarding public health and upholding regulatory integrity in methane-sensitive regions such as Playa Vista. Your collaboration is vital in addressing these concerns effectively.
Sincerely,
Shontel Johnson
