"From 1973 until 2021, I lived in Simi Valley, just down the hill, maybe less than 3 miles as a crow flies, from what I now understand is one of America’s most-contaminated pieces of dirt."
My own family lived just 3 miles from it as well. I remember my little brother playing in the dirt with his trucks.
