Six months after a fire at Vistra's Moss Landing battery plant, an agreement with the EPA was reached for removal of the damaged batteries. Vistra will manage the cleanup, which poses fire risks, while ensuring safety for workers and residents. Detailed plans will be submitted to the EPA, which requires public engagement during the process. Air monitoring will occur during cleanup, with oversight eventually transitioning to state and local authorities after battery removal. Non-compliance could result in EPA taking charge of the cleanup efforts.
"Under the agreement, Vistra will be responsible for the removal of the damaged lithium-ion batteries under the EPA's oversight which pose an ongoing risk of fire."
"Vistra will be required to submit detailed plans to the EPA and implement comprehensive safety measures to protect workers and nearby residents throughout the cleanup process."
"Once all batteries are removed safely, oversight will be transferred to state and local authorities for any remaining on-site cleaning activities."
"Kazami Brockman stated, 'I want to start by saying that I know this incident has had a big impact on the community and I sympathize with the community for all they've had to endure.'
