“DTSC takes the concerns expressed by the community very seriously,” Grant Cope, the department’s acting deputy director, site mitigation, said in a statement Friday. “Children going to school across the street from the site and people living nearby should not have to suffer from the foul odors that impact their community. We listened to the people and took action by suspending cleanup operations ... Our number one priority is public safety.”
