PEIR will be released in 2023

The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has said the SSFL’s final Programmatic Environmental Impact Reports (PEIR) will be released sometime in May or June, 2023.

The draft EIR was last issued in 2015. It is assumed that the DTSC will allow NASA and Department of Energy (DOE) to break their existing cleanup agreements from 2010, similar to how they allowed Boeing to write a new cleanup agreement in 2022 that will leave 90-95% of the contamination onsite permanently.

It’s also assumed that any changes in the PEIR (which will include the Settlement Agreement) will trigger a CEQA lawsuit from the City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles, and the County of Ventura. According to CEQA, there can’t be significant changes between the draft and final agreement, as that would violate the public's right to comment on the changes.
