As reported by EHS Daily Advisor in the article “RCRA Regs for Hazardous Waste Management and Cleanup After LA Wildfires,” the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is now leading the largest wildfire-related hazardous waste cleanup effort in its history, following catastrophic fires across Los Angeles County.
Since the launch of this operation on February 3, 2025, the EPA has conducted reconnaissance at more than 6,000 affected properties—over 3,600 from the Eaton Fire and nearly 2,400 from the Palisades Fire. The agency has already removed 80 lithium-ion-powered electric vehicles and bulk energy storage systems, which are particularly dangerous when exposed to heat and damage from wildfires.
