by both volatile organic compounds and inorganic chemicals, including perchlorate,

Basin is now spreading toward Los Angeles County's Central groundwater basin; and

may be devastated by the continuation and possible spreading of contaminated
groundwater; and
WHEREAS, perchlorate contamination of drinking water is a serious health
related problem in other areas in the United States beyond Southern California; and

may be used as a model for areas in the United States with similar contamination
problems; and
WHEREAS, all stakeholders affected by the contaminated groundwater have
joined together to support a comprehensive plan to treat the contaminated groundwater
and reclaim the San Gabriel Groundwater Basin for the storage of a safe, reliable
drinking water source.
