Related Recommendations (1)
R1
The Board of Supervisors should give the Nesi/Ascon site a high priority and use their positions to bring pressure on the appropriate entities to see that the mediation and security receive the attention they deserve. A response to Recommendation 1 is required from the Board of Supervisors. 5
F2
The City of Huntington Beach does not assume the degree of responsibility for monitoring the Nesi/Ascon site that seems prudent to the Grand Jury. In the face of what could be a disaster, or even death, more and better monitoring must be in place at the site. Trespass enforcement and fence checks need to be made more often and be more thorough. A response to Finding 2 is requested from the City Council of Huntington Beach and from the Huntington Beach Fire and Police Departments.

Conclusions 1
-
CL1The Grand Jury believes separate fencing should be required by the City of Huntington Beach for each lagoon, the barrel corral, and especially the Styrene pit. More attention should be paid to the site to protect the interlopers and to keep out the homeless and trespassers. The signage now in place, and broken, rusty fencing does not get the job done and does not pose a sufficient deterrent to passers-by. If this additional and appropriate attention results in added city costs, then maybe the City will do a better job in bringing pressure on the owner and the State of California to succeed in remediating the problem. The students and citizens impacted by the Nesi/Ascon site deserve more resolute attention to this problem. Recent Grand Jury visits have found some fencing improvements. However, more attention is required.
