DID YOU KNOW?

The Ascon team will need to work on some Saturdays in the next three months to prepare the Site for the upcoming rainy season and to complete the construction of the landfill cap. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this work.

When Saturday work is required, the following will apply:

  • Personnel may be onsite on these Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Field work involving louder noise from heavy equipment will not begin until 9 a.m.
  • The Ascon team will notify the community about Saturday work through biweekly email updates and additional email notices.

If you have any questions, please call the Ascon information line at 714-388-1825 or send an email to info@asconhb.com. We appreciate your patience as we continue Final Remedy work.

SITEWIDE ACTIVITIES

  • FIELD WORK FOR THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 28 and OCTOBER 5: If Saturday work is needed for 10/3 or other Saturdays, the Ascon team will inform our neighbors via a separate email prior to the work.

    Additional clean soil import will occur intermittently over the next two months, depending on weather and source availability. Here is what you can expect to see:

    • As many as 150 soil import trucks may arrive onsite each day. ​
    • Work may occur Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.
    • Haul trucks enter Ascon from Hamilton Avenue and exit on Magnolia Street. Import haul trucks avoid the major intersection of Hamilton Ave. and Magnolia St. per the project’s approved haul route plan.  ​
    • Dust mitigation and traffic control measures are in place. We also conduct additional street cleaning outside the project Site entrance and exit areas during periods of import.​

    Grading of soils will continue throughout the Site. Installation of the engineered cap will continue for the next couple of months, contingent on weather and Site conditions.

  • INSPECTIONS:

    • DTSC is the lead regulatory agency for the Ascon project and conducts inspections at Ascon.
    • The City of Huntington Beach continues its regular stormwater inspections of Ascon. Site staff will be at Ascon weekly for routine inspections and daily during extended rain events as needed to monitor the Site stormwater controls. Ascon remains in compliance with stormwater pollution prevention requirements.
    • Regular inspections are conducted by Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District (OCMVCD) in areas of the Ascon Site where water may be detained. Active mitigation measures are implemented by OCMVCD to protect the community, as well as onsite workers, from mosquitoes.

  • SECURITY: 24-hour, 7 days per week, onsite security continues during construction activities. Security is not always visible at the entrance gates. Unannounced visitors without official business or agency oversight of Ascon are not permitted to enter the Site. Trespassers will be reported to the Huntington Beach Police Department and DTSC.

    You may see: Flashlights or headlights from vehicles after dark concluding daily activities and providing security at the 38-acre Site.
