Division, Office of L. A County District Attorney
who also served as Chief of the Belmont investigation
“Nothing could be further from the truth”
he told Emmy Award winning host Leslie Dutton. Patchett
went on to say DTSC has been out of the loop on Belmont
since 1991. They are supposed to be a watchdog agency
but instead are now promoting the LAUSD
“passive” remediation plan, which in the
case of volatile organic chemicals (VOC) contamination,
that can never be remediated due to close proximity
of groundwater.

and earthquake faults was Dr.
Debra Otis, Sr. Toxicologist for the DTSC and
Dr. Kaye H. Kilburn (MD), noted author, who holds
