Residents have earned speedy and comprehensive perchlorate cleanup order
On Dec. 7, the years-long South County perchlorate water poisoning story will take another important turn when the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board will consider whether to adopt the Draft Cleanup and Abatement Order (CAO) or instruct staff to make more adjustments.
