The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board has ordered Shell Oil to clean the top 10 feet of soil on Carson's 44-acre Carousel Tract, which the company used as a tank farm from 1924 to 1966. The cleanup could start as early as the summer, reports the Daily Breeze. Shell also faces homeowner lawsuits alleging physical injury (including leukemia) and decreased home values, plus the possibility of more cleanups. [Daily Breeze, previously]
