Department of Toxic Substances Control July 2019
Public Notice
The mission of DTSC is to protect California’s People and environment from harmful effects of toxic
substances by restoring contaminated resources, enforcing hazardous waste laws, reducing waste
generation and encouraging the manufacture of chemically safer products.
Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit
Raytheon
2000 E. El Segundo Blvd.
El Segundo, CA 90245
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has issued an Emergency
Permit to Raytheon for onsite treatment of expired chemicals located at 2000 E. El Segundo
Blvd. El Segundo, CA 90245. The items to be treated include four 100gram-containers of
1-Bromo-3-Nitrobenzene. The Clean Harbors Environmental Services company has been
contracted to conduct this treatment. The chemicals are potentially reactive and unsafe
for transport in their present state. The treatment involves the addition of liquid solution
to the containers to stabilize the chemicals. Once the chemicals are treated, they will be
transported offsite for proper management. DTSC has determined that the chemicals pose
an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health and the environment if not
properly managed. Therefore, an emergency permit should be issued. This Emergency
Permit is effective from July 5, 2019 through September 3, 2019. The Emergency Permit
includes measures to minimize any adverse impact to the community and the environment.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA): DTSC has determined that
the permit is exempt from the requirements of CEQA and has filed a Notice of Exemption
(NOE) with the State Clearinghouse. The Emergency Permit, NOE, Raytheon’s request for
this permit are available for review at the file room located at:

City Hall Online Outage
Last week, El Segundo City Hall experienced
a technical outage that affected email and online
services. As of this past Monday, July 15, the
City was in the process of successfully restoring
all systems incrementally. Due to the outage,
the online payment option for water utility bills
was voluntarily suspended for reconciliation
and reconfiguration. The City anticipated to
have the system back online by Wednesday,
July 17. For any questions, call 310-524-2319,
or email H2oinquries@elsegundo.org

South Bay Fiber Network
The South Bay Cities will soon become
even more closely connected as they join
forces to offer faster and less expensive
broadband connectivity to their facilities with
investment in a next-generation dedicated fiber
network. The South Bay Cities Council of
Governments (“SBCCOG”) has awarded a
contract to American Dark Fiber, a Southern
California broadband company. They will
build and provide gigabit, scalable broadband
connectivity to the Joint Powers Authority
for the 16 cities (including El Segundo)
and County of Los Angeles that comprise
the SBCCOG. In addition, the South Bay
Workforce Investment Board, LA BioMed,
Beach Cities Health District (BCHD), LA
Metro, and LA County Public Works are
participating in the project.
The purpose of this project is to construct
the regional fiber-optic broadband
infrastructure to support enhancements for
mobility and accessibility systems and networks
that serve South Bay residents through
services offered by their municipalities. The
network will provide the necessary infrastructure
to support:
• Inter- as well as intra-city connectivity
improvements to transportation systems
management.
• Enhanced signal synchronization within
and between participating cities.
• Future transportation systems management
applications for Autonomous Vehicles (AV).
(High-speed and resilient broadband capacity
will be necessary for vehicle-to-network
and vehicle-to-vehicle communications for a
safe and reliable AV transportation system).
• Transportation demand management applications
aiding “trips not taken” which can
include: telecommuting (work-from-home for
governments), “Smart” City Halls (municipal
services for residents could be virtually
provided), telemedicine (remote diagnostics,
distributed doctor/patient video and audio interactions,
transmission of large files, such as
MRIs, scans, etc.), distance education (distributed,
interactive instruction and video-intensive
learning), and others. Implementation of these
solutions will be driven by the individual cities
and the two healthcare entities.
