Rio Bravo Disposal Facility Closed Over Health Dangers
California health officials ordered the Rio Bravo Disposal facility shut last week after finding it a clear threat to public health. Kern County filed a civil suit against the owners for numerous Health and Safety Code violations and unlawful business practices, seeking penalties of up to 25 000 per violation. The state action and local suit aim to permanently close the site on Beech Avenue near Highway 43.
